Is Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 better?
Neither is better for every company. Google Workspace stands out for teams that work in the browser, value real-time co-editing on the same file, and want simple administration. Microsoft 365 usually requires fewer changes for companies with a deep reliance on desktop Excel and Outlook and an existing Windows and Active Directory infrastructure.

We recommend staying on Microsoft 365 when
