28 Mar Why Office 365 is Our First Choice for Businesses
There are a lot of different options out there for businesses when it comes to software. Some companies prefer Google Workspace, while others prefer Office 365. So, which one is the best option? This blog post will compare the two options and explain why Office 365 is our first choice for businesses.
What is Office 365?
Office 365 is a cloud-based subscription service that provides businesses with a suite of productivity tools, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Access, and Publisher. It also includes cloud-based services such as Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Microsoft Teams, and Yammer.
With Office 365, businesses can access these tools and services on any device, at any time, from anywhere in the world. It allows for real-time collaboration and communication between team members, making working together easier and getting things done efficiently.
Additionally, Office 365 provides enterprise-level security features, ensuring businesses can securely share and store sensitive information.
What is Google Workspace?
Google Workspace, formerly known as G Suite, is a cloud-based productivity and collaboration tool designed for businesses. It provides a suite of tools, including Gmail, Google Drive (including Docs, Sheets, and Slides), Google Meet, Google Chat, Google Calendar and more. These tools allow for seamless communication and collaboration between team members in real time, regardless of their location.
Additionally, Google Workspace is cloud-based, providing team members with access to their files and data from any device with an internet connection. With Google Workspace, businesses can work smarter and more efficiently, creating and sharing documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more in real time.
Furthermore, Google Workspace provides advanced security features, ensuring that business data is always safe and secure.
Why we recommend Office 365 for businesses
Both of these options are top quality and cost effective. But there are a number of stand-out reasons that mean we usually favour Office 365 over Google Workspace for most of our customers. These include:
- Inclusion of industry-standard Microsoft desktop apps such as Outlook and Word.
- Fully installable versions of Microsoft applications provide more features and make blended online and offline working easier.
