Karimbeer: Hi. I'm Karimbeer. I'm a licensed psychologist and I give Google Sheets a four. I'm using Google Sheets for a variety of problems, but predominantly tracking finances and determining rates and things like that. Mostly addition kind of things. Primarily, I like that Google Sheets is free and it provides probably 80% or 90% of the functionality of the desktop spreadsheet app in a cost free package. One area that I think Google Sheets needs to work on is import/export. So if I'm importing a spreadsheet from a desktop package that includes some formulas, sometimes those get lost, and vice versa.

Eugene L.: Hi, my name's Eugene. I am the owner of a commercial real estate company. We have about five people within our company. And I give Google Workspace five out of five. I used Microsoft Teams before, and where Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace have similar functionality, I just found Google Workspace to be more user-friendly across all my employees in different departments. I chose Google Workspace for my businesses because of how user-friendly it is and how cost-effective it is. Onboarding Google Workspace was actually pretty easy. I started with the email functionality, our main form of communication with both clients and tenants alike with our commercial real estate business. And then, as we worked through that system, we started using the drive. We started using cloud functionality, Google Workspace Docs, spreadsheets, etc. For those of you looking to integrate Google Workspace into your business, I highly recommend making sure that you're aware of how to integrate your website with Google Business and how that works to improve your business, as well as get reviews, etc.
