A complete ecosystem for Education backed by a committed team of developers
We have relied on Google Workspace for Education for five years. It's easy to use, intuitive, yet powerful and reliable. During the pandemics, and with the heaviest restrictions on this side of the continent, Workspace for Education was the cornerstone of our E-Learning efforts, helping us reach effectively 5,000 students whose education was our responsibility.
PROSGoogle Workspace for Education is a complete set of tools that are easy to use, familiar, tightly integrated and with tons of documentation and support available. Schools and students alike benefit from the ubiquity of Google products. This makes for a familiar interface that is intuitive, easy to implement and profusely documented while adding academic specific tools that are invaluable: - Tons of space in Google Drive and Gmail to match the demanding needs of schools - A very complete LMS under Google Classroom with new features added constantly. - Hardware administration for Chromebooks and other resources. - Free for qualified institutions (upgrades are available too with even greater benefits) - Enough safety features to safeguard vaualbe information
CONSCertain tools need to be polished: - Google Drive is still problematic for copying entire folders. The workaround is to use their Desktop app and make changes from your computer. - Google Classroom still lacks a simple to use Central Administrative Dashboard for different organisations where you can see at a glance reports on schools, courses, teachers and students. A tool like this would be a huge plus.

Essential Tools for K-12 Education
I have and will continue to endorse the use of GOOGLE WORKSPACE in the K12 educational environments. As new features are made available and the product continues to adapt to changing expectations in the K12 marketplace, they will continue to be a leader in producing low priced solutions for schools.
PROSThe ease of use, compatibility with other platforms like MICROSOFT and ADOBE make this suite of tools the go to one stop for all your preK-12 users. The feature set is robust enough for almost all educators and allows students to create, edit, provide feedback, collaborate and share with very little training or backend support.
CONSAs one of the industry leaders in complete software packages for K12, you would expect the suite to have more robust features or at least features similar to the other larger providers. For the price, GOOGLE is the place for all K12 districts but if we are going to continue to supporting the platform it should grow as quickly and as nimbly as our diverse users.
Reasons for switching to Google Workspace for Education
The option to switch was mainly fueled by cost and industry pressure to include GOOGLE WORKSPACE as a software alternative for our students.

First Class Collaboration and Productivity Suite
Google Workspace for Education makes it easy to manage our fleet of Chromebooks and for our faculty to use Google credentials and services to integrate other educational software and services.
CONSOn several occasions, Google will introduce new features or change where settings are located with minimal notice to users and administrators. This often makes additional work for our IT team, having to update help desk materials and procedures to keep up with changing product options and configurations.
Reasons for switching to Google Workspace for Education
Google was cheaper, easier to administer, and integrated with our existing fleet of Chromebooks.

One of The Most Efficient Hybrid Learning Solutions.
Google Workspace for education empowers me to hopefully design and deliver impactful learning experiences, foster collaboration among students, and help them practice 21st Century Skills. I use Google Meet, Calendar, Forms, Sheets, Slides, Docs, And almost all the Workspace applications to create educational content, deliver educators professional development sessions and track learning outcomes. Google Workspace for education increases students, educators, and administrators' performance and has the world's most efficient solution for hybrid learning.
PROSGoogle Workspace for education supports the whole education system. It provides students with applications and devices that facilitate their learning journey and get them familiar with the technology used in the 21st Century workplace. Google Workspace platform has an easy to navigate admin dashboards that allow administrators to manage organization-wide application implementation, leverage learning Analytics, control students' data privacy, and maintain system security.
CONSSome applications have relatively similar icon shapes and colors, which might confuse users with visual impairments or even the average user who hasn't any disability.
Reason for choosing Google Workspace for Education
One of the best features that differentiate Google Workspace for Education from other solutions is its lightweight and the ability to work on almost any device, even with a slow internet connection.

All in one subscription to run your email, docs, transfer, meetings and what now...
We registered for a free trial for 1 month and used our custom domain to provide email ids to our students, it was a fruitful experience so we converted it to full time subscription. I love the availability of free trial, or else we would not have been able to come to know about awesome features provided by Google Workspace for education.
PROSI started with a free subscription as an ad-hoc setup for my institution, and it was awesome experience. Using Google Education dedicated Classroom with google meet is a next level experience, so easy for IT admin to setup (you can use vendors too). Apart from that, I love the google's dedicated and responsive support architecture, they have awesomely qualifies and dignified engineers to looks on particular queries and reach to the resolution. Few pros are - Google's single sign on, best and greatest of all.
CONSAs it is suited for Google Classrooms, I specifically feel that much more control could have been given, while arranging a test over forms, the results should go on the fly, that system can be made more robust, but truly this setup is amazing in itself so I do not have any cons in mind for this product. I will continue to use it and be part of its evolution.

It was vital during the last few years and students still benefit. Googke Workspace for education takes safety and security seriously. Adequate storage in Drive.
CONSGoogle Workspace for Education has multiple packages or plans. The fundamentals package is free. The other packages with improved features are not free.

Chrome vs the World
Easy to set up. Lots of tools through Classroom. Vault is fantastic for historical data. OAuth platform makes SSO a breeze for some apps. We use it mostly as a Chromebook management platform, and for that it's very affordable and definitely works.
CONSIntegrations are a little weird. Like it _kind of_ plays in the sandbox. you can _kind of _ employ groups. but not really. to really change things you end up with a tangled Yggdrasil of OUs.
