Pros
- Real-time sharing and collaboration
- Tight integration with Box.net
- Most cost-effective of the three big online suites
Cons
- Poor file fidelity with Microsoft Office files
- Performance lacking on iOS and non-Chrome browsers
Bottom Line
Google Apps has a comprehensive suite of tools, and powerful real-time sharing and collaboration features. But it doesn’t work well with Microsoft Office file formats--a huge handicap for a productivity suite.
