Considering switching from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 for your business? Here’s why it might be a smart move.
Both platforms offer essential productivity tools like email, cloud storage, and apps, but Microsoft 365 provides additional advantages. Unlike Google’s cloud-native focus, Microsoft 365 gives you access to familiar Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) across desktop, web, and mobile versions, allowing for greater flexibility.
Microsoft 365 also offers a variety of plans tailored to different needs. Starting at just $6/user/month for Business Basic, it provides 1TB of storage—far more than Google’s 30GB. For more advanced features, like hosting webinars or securing data, Business Premium delivers top-notch protection and business tools for $19.80/user/month.
Security is another strong point for Microsoft 365. With enterprise-grade protection in Outlook and OneDrive, including encryption and ransomware detection, it keeps your data safe. Plus, tools like MS Teams outperform Google Meet, offering more participants and better collaboration features.
Overall, Microsoft 365 combines enhanced security, flexible storage, and robust business tools, making it a strong alternative to Google Workspace for businesses looking to enhance productivity.
