![]() G Suite cannot do much of the advanced stuff Outlook & Office 365 can. Outlook and Office 365 are much better at. Many of the quasi-routine tasks that we go through permissions to mailboxes, turning users on and off, sharing mailboxes, shared calendars, read-only lists, etc. Overall though the experience with G-Suite and Outlook is very positive. Outlook works pretty much perfectly with Office 365 once it’s setup. It’s not a big deal but about once a year, you’ll have 3 or 4 days where you get an innocuous error message with syncing your contacts or calendar via outlook when you are a native G Suite user. G Suite can be used with Microsoft Outlook, but we have some occasional issues with syncing the clients.However if everyone is using iPhones, it’s a wash. We actually prefer the Outlook App for iPhones and Androids rather than the built in calendar and contact syncing. Office 365 is about the same on Android and iPhone. G Suite is way better on Android Phones.Outlook uses the built in windows indexer and isn’t as good. If you are a heavy mailbox searcher and you use the web interface G Suite is SIGNIFICANTLY better. Most of our clients have large mailboxes and simply typing in:all” in the search bar will return every email ever sent to in every folder. If your users use the web interface, G Suite’s search function is second to none.We have seen two wire transfers in just the last couple of weeks come through Office 365 that could have been stopped with some better warnings and wouldn’t even forward to our G Suite account. We literally have to jump through hoops to get that “this message seems dangerous” link to even show up in a G Suite mailbox. Other things to consider – Advanced Threat Protection, Slack, Meeting Software, Versioning, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams.Security and Mobile & Desktop Features & Tools – This is how G Suite and Microsoft handle managing mobile phones, laptops and other devices based on Mac, PC, iOS, Android, etc.And the million in-betweens that connect them. Word, Excel, Outlook, Flow Microsoft has a full suite of desktop software that Google will probably never be able to compete with and it’s the defacto standard for all document editing Software – Google Sheets, Docs, Forms etc.Microsoft is better for dealing with a GUI front end but Gmail does web based like no one else on the planet. Google and Microsoft are very competitive in this space. Email Features – You know both of these products well. ![]() Both Microsoft and Google want to control Identity and Authentication Management (IAM).
