Which is better for cloud email – Office365 or Google G Suite? This is a question we are asked frequently by clients, prospects, friends, and even family.
Our short answer is generally the same: “Either and Depends.”
Our Approach to Choosing a Cloud Email Solution
We view technology through the lens of your business, so to us the right solution for you will be very specific to your organization. We resell and manage G Suite, Office365, Hosted and Premise Exchange.
In our organization, we use both G Suite and Office 365. We believe both are solid solutions. What it comes down to is which solution most closely matches your organization’s needs, requirements, and culture.
So, how do you decide? One option is to speak with a managed service provider, like Teal. We’d collect some information from you to ensure we align the solution to your organization, including:
- What is your business?
- How do you collaborate with employees; partners; clients today?
- What are you using today for email, chat, and document storage?
- What are some of your other technology solutions? (Finance; Marketing; CRM; Phone System; etc.)
- General cloud adoption of your organization?
- Reliance on the Microsoft Office Suite? (Yes, you can still use Microsoft Office with Google G Suite)
- What is integrated with email today? What would make sense to integrate in the future?
- Budget constraints?
The examples above are just some of the key information that will help us recommend the right cloud email solution for your team. There are others.
What we can say for sure is:
- Both Office365 and G Suite are solid collaboration solutions.
- One of them is likely to meet your organization’s needs.
- A cloud solution for email, calendar, and storage is likely a better fit for your team than a premise-based solution.
