Many here say they won’t use Google for anything cloud, but hoe many of you have Gmail for Workplace at work? Probably everyone. It’s the best solution for work emails, docs, calendars, etc.

> It’s the best solution It's the least worst solution for "whole-workplace" systems, but most people who are saying "won’t use Google for anything cloud" probably self-host or use something like PurelyMail (https://purelymail.com/ https://purelymail.com/) or FastMail (https://www.fastmail.com/ https://www.fastmail.com/) for their own emails

  I use my Hotmail for all my important emails, my Gmail is my catch-all for everything else. Why Hotmail? Because if the name isn't enough indication it's because I've had it for well over 25 years at this point and I like Microsoft anyway.

Office365 is way better. You get native apps, which are obviously better than a web app, you get device integrations for enterprise, you get more advanced tooling, more features. Plus MS has better compliance options. If you're actually running a business, and not just a startup employee who doesn't need to do much, MS is the way.

  Not sure why you got downvoted to dead. In big companies, M365 is a way more common and complete solution compared to anything else out there. This is just a fact - I actually really like e.g. Google Sheets, but the reality is that M365 can integrate with your Microsoft stack top-to-bottom and has low-code app, automation and database services that allow you to build out a good chunk of common LOB apps with minimal complexity (not that Dataverse doesn't have some ridiculous issues).

    In my corner of EU, Office365 is the only thing I see everywhere(also in some government offices). I have yet to see/use GSuite anywhere yet. Also, M$-Azure is common on more ancient businesses, modern startups sometimes have AWS and hip startup in rare cases has GCP(when product does not involve personal data).

      Exactly. Whoever is down voting here is denying reality.

        Your reality, perhaps In the last 4 compagnies I worked for (the multi-billions kind of compagnies), everybody uses workspace, there are no office 365

        Not at all: television, retail, mecanics, and another retail

        Surprising - as with the earlier commenter in EU, here in South Africa, including the multinationals spanning the continent, everything is Teams, including the government.

    Sorry I’m the one who thought Google Workplace was the best, I’m learning something. - Does Chrome keep nagging you for login and bookmark sync, when you use O365? - Google’s way of handling shared inboxes is awful (Want an extra email? Create a …Google Group! Then assign members, tune the perms, etc.) How does it work in O365? Can I just create an email and assign 7 users on it?
