ICT Coordinator Primary/Secondary Education ### "Very useful tool for schools" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 30, 2026 I used Workspace Audit Tool when they were offering free trials for the pro version. We have a small school where our IT staff wear many hats that include working as full-time teachers. We are far from security experts and often talked about needing to find the time to audit our Google Workspace settings, since it had been a few years since we had done so. This tool made it so easy to review everything at once and to implement the necessary changes. It certainly put our minds at ease knowing that things were as they should be 'under the hood'. Pros The tool is very user friendly, and the instructions are well written and straightforward. I had a couple of questions and was able to get timely answers from the developers. Cons The large amount of data you receive after running the audit can be daunting, and it takes some time to review everything to make sure the fixes apply to your context. Although I would rather have the extra information and be able to sort through it myself, than to be wondering if there was anything I might be missing.

Harmeet S. Executive Headteacher Education Management ### "Excellent to instantly tighten your security and report to your board" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 30, 2026 Excellent, a must if your school uses Google Workspace. This has been really helpful in preparing for our Internal Scrutiny and reporting to our Trust board. Pros Workspace Audit is simple to use and has been really helpful to understand and identify our risks ranked by critical, high, medium and low - the guidance and links directly to the admin console make it very simple to prioritise and rectify potential security risks for your IT team. The overcompliance score is an excellent way to demonstrate external QA and is very useful for senior leadership and trust / governing board reporting. Cons A 7 day trial is not long enough. Understandably you need to be a super admin user to access the software, given how busy school leaders unless you set time aside to review the software 7 days is a bit tight, however I do believe the trial can be extended.

AU Anonymous User Director of EdTech Services Education Management ### "Personalized security recommendations at your fingertips" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 30, 2026 With Workspace Audit, I feel that I have a second pair of eyes reviewing my Google Domain settings. The team that develops the program works with many different schools in various countries, which helps me understand what other schools are doing as best practices. Pros Workspace Audit has a great dashboard that provides an overview of all unique risks by severity, allowing me to prioritize my time by addressing the most critical issues first. The number of risks is clearly presented, enabling me to easily track my progress as I resolve several issues each time I log on. Cons It's hard to think of things I don't like when there is no product that performs similar functions for comparison. If I have to nitpick, I would say it would be not knowing the risk immediately if I accept an issue without resolving it.

AS Ali S. EdTech Consultant Education Management ### "Turned a Security Audit Into an Actionable IT Conversation" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 29, 2026 As an Educational Technology Consultant at a university, I used Workspace Audit to scan our Google Workspace for Education domain. The results were eye-opening; the tool surfaced several action items across more than a dozen security categories, giving me a clear picture of where we stood. More importantly, it gave me the evidence I needed to sit down with our system administrator and IT team and have a focused, data-driven conversation about what to fix first. Pros The dashboard breaks everything down by category — Identity & Authentication, API Controls, Drive and Docs, Gmail, Chat, Calendar, and more — each with a compliance percentage and issue count. That made it very easy to see at a glance which areas were well-configured and which needed urgent attention. The tool flagged critical issues I wouldn't have caught through the Google Admin Console alone, and the prioritization (Critical vs High) helped us focus our limited IT resources where they mattered most. I was also glad to see a "Resolved Issues" section that tracks what's been fixed, so we could show progress over time. For someone in my role(not a full-time admin, but someone advising the IT team) the plain-language recommendations made it possible to translate security findings into action without needing deep technical expertise. Cons When the scan surfaces a large number of action items at once, it can feel daunting for a small IT team. A guided remediation roadmap or suggested sequencing beyond the top recommendations would help teams prioritize without feeling overwhelmed. I'd also welcome more benchmarking context specific to education institutions, so universities can compare themselves against peers rather than all organizations broadly.

AU Anonymous User IT Manager Education Management ### "Super helpful tool" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 27, 2026 I recently had a free trial of Workspace Audit to scan our Google Workspace tenancy and identify potential security improvements. It was very simple to set up and run a scan of the environment, with pretty much instant results. The tool makes it easier to see what settings need changing to become a more secure environment. With so many settings available within Google Admin, it's very easy to overlook and/or miss important configurations. The dashboard is what makes this tool even more user-friendly. It presents findings in a clear way and categorises issues by area and severity. This made it easy to prioritise what needed attention. I also found the direct links into Google Admin particularly helpful, saving time when locating and updating specific settings. Workspace Audit appears to be a very powerful health check tool that provides immediate clarity on where your domain stands against best practices. It highlights misconfigurations and gives actionable steps to resolve them, ultimately helping to strengthen overall security. Not all areas of Workspace Audit are available for trial users, so I can't comment on those. But from demos I have seen of these areas, these features look like they would add even more value. Overall, the trial experience was very positive and demonstrated real value, particularly for admins looking to improve security quickly and efficiently. However, while the tool is clearly powerful, I feel the pricing model may put it out of reach for some. In our case, current and upcoming budgets are tight. That being said, we will definitely consider this tool in future budget planning, as it adds clear value and gives greater visibility into your tenancy than Google Admin alone. Pros \- Dashboard is really clear and easy to navigate, everything’s broken down nicely - Handy links straight into Google Admin, which saves a lot of time - Gives practical suggestions on what to fix, not just highlighting issues - Quick and easy to run a scan and spot potential risks - Free trial is genuinely useful and gives you a good feel for the tool Cons \- Pricing is quite high, especially if you’re working with a tight budget - Ongoing cost might be hard to justify for some Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Cyber Security Apprentice Education Management ### "Great tool and a team that listens" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 26, 2026 My experience has been excellent. The platform is modern, sleek, and broken down into intuitive sections. What really sets them apart is the team; they actually listen to feedback and proactively reach out to let us know when they’ve implemented our suggestions. We don't just use this for "information only"—we actively work through the reports to implement changes and consistently harden our security posture. It is a technical, in-depth, and essential tool for our team. Pros The level of detail is impressive. The depth of the reporting—specifically the views for extensions and Workspace apps—is incredibly useful. It provides a granular look into our environment that other tools simply miss, making it much easier to manage our digital footprint. Cons Honestly, it’s hard to find a major fault because the tool is so modern and well-organized. If anything, the sheer amount of technical data can be a lot to digest, but the clean UI and categorized sections make it as manageable as possible.

AU Anonymous User ICT Network Manaer Education Management ### "Needed in any google domain" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 26, 2026 Great as its turned my google security around as I now have a full understanding on where the vulnerabilitys are and what needs to be done Pros Great Audit tool that is really easy to user and finds settings that I didnt even know about that were enabled on my organisation. Cons Some settings were quite confusing in the admin centre where I was trying to work out what they were doing Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Senior IT Services Technician Education Management ### "Essential tool for a Google Admin" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 26, 2026 Overall, this is the tool I wish Google had built into the Workspace dashboard from the start. It cuts through the noise of the Admin Console and highlights exactly what needs attention. The UI is simple and intuitive, making it easy for our team to stay on top of our security posture without needing to be experts in every single sub-menu. We’ve found the compliance tool particularly helpful for our Cyber Essentials journey. Even with some slight loading delays and the occasional need to re-verify accepted risks, the peace of mind and time saved make it an essential part of our toolkit. Pros The Workspace Audit Tool is a massive time-saver for any Google Admin. It exposes critical security settings that you might never know existed in the standard admin panel, and the ability to remediate issues right then and there is incredibly efficient. We specifically love the compliance tool—it’s been invaluable for ensuring we meet Cyber Essentials requirements. Unlike many heavy-duty auditing tools, the UI is surprisingly simple and doesn't require a steep learning curve to start seeing results. Cons The interface can be a little slow to load when pulling large datasets from the Admin Console, which is a minor trade-off for the level of detail provided. I've also found that 'Accepted Risks' don't always stay cleared between scans, which can be slightly annoying to manage. However, it’s a small price to pay for a tool that makes compliance tracking for Cyber Essentials so much more visible.

GD Geoff D. Director of Technology Primary/Secondary Education ### "An invaluable real time security tool for any school " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 March 26, 2026 As an International school tech director I am often strapped for time and under the pressure of financial constraints. AppsEdu workspace audit hits the sweet spot on both of these pressure points. It is super easy to use and allows me to check how secure our environment is. Weekly scans let my team know when someone has made a change that could effect our security. While this tool doesn’t replace an in person audit it lets me sleep better know that we can constantly check our security settings and tweak things as we go Pros Workspace audit is very easy to use, The technical team hopped on a call and we got set up within 10 minutes. They then walked me through all the features. They have also been responsive to improvement requests and are constantly adding new features. They added the ability to accept risks after user feedback. The ability to audit your google workspace quickly and cost effectively is important for any security conscious organisation. The ability to run scheduled scans or scan immediately is super useful as is the direct link to the google documentation or the place in the admin console where you need to make the changes Cons At first glance you get a scare when you see your initial health score or the language used i.e. 62 non compliant issues. Once you figure out how the app works and what these terms mean it makes it less confrontational. I wouldn’t directly show the app score to my director or manager without explaining how it works. Perhaps some less confrontation language or an explanation that it is not the end of the world if you have non compliant issues. Sometimes you implement a recommendation that effects the users ability to use an app or do their work for example we blocked app from using google classroom to sign in and that meant no one in our organisation could use Sketchup. It would be good to have a list of possible ramifications of changes. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
