5. Comparison with Competition
Google Apps for Work
Office 365
Pricing
Monthly plans with a minimum of 5 $ per month. 2 basic plans.
Scores on ease of use and familiarity of younger users to free Gmail/ Google
Quicker for relatively easy tasks. For heavy docs a client based office suite may make sense
Popular with newer, leaner organizations and start-ups
Has a more mature ecosystem with thousands of third party apps in the marketplace
Yearly commitment required. Basic 5$ / month. 6 packages.
For complex activities, Outlook and Office products are more capable
Office 365 is slower but is better placed to handle large and complex documents/ spreadsheets etc.
Still the product of choice for large enterprises
Comparatively newer entrant and third party apps are mostly plugins or accelerators
