Microsoft 365 (Office 365) continues to add value to its platform, which is why I switched. In this video, I discuss the differences between the two and why I switched to Microsoft 365.

Love this! Recently joined a company that use Google Workspace but immediately picked up that everything is an added app with a subscription. Most ironic part of all is that every single user also has Microsoft apps and still uses them 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m now busy with an application / tool rationalization exercise to show the true cost of what Google Workspace is costing the organization. I believe what Microsoft offers as standard features far outweighs Google’s offering.

I agree with your assessment of Google's solution. I'm curious about what you're experiencing at the one-year mark. Do you have any new insights concerning the switch.

@Bayside628 Жыл бұрын

Such a similar scenario to you! Thanks for this video! Going through the same with my agency soon. 365 surprisingly has become better for collab tools, outlook add-ins, now more affordable and the light admin center is now easier to use than google workspace admin.

Liked your take and found it helpful. I used to be a MS windows user during my corporate days. I have since retired but am involved with a couple of startups and looking at starting a new venture that could if successful grow very quickly in terms of staffing. I use a Mac and I am in the Apple Eco system with hardware but still use microsoft 365 for the office suite. I use Google for gmail and all my current emails are gmail based. I would like to pick a platform to minimize the number of other apps with my new venture. I think you have convinced me that 365 is the way to go. I may still keep dropbox as I find it really quick and easy. For my personal use I use a few Apple apps, like reminders, photos and notes. Again, thanks for this video, I just subscribed to your channel.

How do you feel almost a year later? I recently attempted switching to 365 Bus and OMG - 10 days and hundreds of $ and dozens of hours later I spent Thanksgiving holiday wiping MS Office setup and wiping Windows 11. Exchange, Entra, and Home Admin was a mess! After setting up Outlook, my OneNote stopped working - it wouldn't sync. Four MS 'ambassadors' and hours on the phone and remote assist...no help. I need to get something hooked back up before Monday and I am seriously considering going back to Workspace because I'm scared to death of trying MS again. I don't know what went wrong (we didn't even migrate anything!). MS seemed so slow and my internet speeds are blazin' with all other sites. All I can figure is MS bloat because of so many apps: Outlook, Teams, Dev (and I can't get rid of this - so much I don't want)....anyway, as I'm sitting here trying to decide what to do I was hoping you could give me 'one year later'. Thanks Jerad.

My understanding about storage is M365 tops out at 50GB of mail storage, and has a separate quote for file storage, as compared to GW that combines your total storage for mail and file storage.

Outlook sucks. The search functionality is all over the place and html formatting for it is a nightmare. Teams constantly crashes. As somebody who has worked with both, I am going Google. And exactly for what are you using spark for? Gmail has chat and calender integrated. Just as outloom. So same feel in the mobile version.

@jeradhilltech 5 ай бұрын

You can but wouldn’t be able to send email there without making DNS changes. Then you’d have email in both places that was not in sync until you made a decision. I’d recommend using Outlook with a Gmail account or something like that for a while to see if you like the experience before committing to a full switch.

Hello , Really loved your video. Explained so beautifully. Can you let me know that on how many desktops or computers can we login with the same user email. Like I want to use my email (microsoft email) both on my laptop and desktop. Is it possible to use it on two different computers on the same time ?

You could certainly do that. I’m sure there is a limit but it’s likely a limit of simultaneous connections, not how many devices are logged in.

The biggest advantage between Google workspace and O365 is not the apps, it's the security. In O365, the account can be tied to a device via MDM. Google doesn't give two shits about MDM and MFA which is why most data breaches usually happen in environments that run off of Google products. The biggest selling point is their ease of use - you can have a small company and set up services without even being an IT. That is also its achilles heel.

@mr_don_key 6 ай бұрын

Not true, google does give a fuck.. it offers MFA just a well as o365 does, their implementation is different. MDM is not a holy grail, it also has cons.

@mr_don_key 6 ай бұрын

it's time for open standards (file formats, features), to be used in businesses. It's INSANE, that you cannot choose which tools to use, because of compatibility issues, that Microsoft enforces on purpose. seriously FUCK that behavior.. Being TOO dependent on ONE vendor/developer is VERY DANGEROUS! Being able to easily switching tools, while still being able to fully use the files, is ESSENTIAL for the future. Time for companies to WAKE UP.

How did you do it, is there a process of deleting workspace and migrating the domain over to Microsoft because I plan on switching also

@jeradhilltech Жыл бұрын

Yes there is for migrating email and calendars over. I didn’t have to migrate anything in Google drive because I was already using Dropbox. I should make a video about it because it was quite an involved process due to the way Google handles data connections. It required connecting Microsoft to the Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts APIs in the Google Developer portal.

4:50 the thing for me that pissed me off. Was they told me I would have to pay for a higher tier of service to get KZfaq. Something that is already free for FREE USERS. Support was completely useless. And then I zip up all my Google drive foldersd and I reinstall Google Drive on my Mac and I go to unzip my files and all the .gdoc (google docs) files won't upload because it says "they're corrupted" which is BULLSHIT. They're not corrupted. it's just you can't operate Google drive like every other file system from the dawn of computing which is pure incompetent stupidity. Then I notice Google drive doesn't have a "go up one folder" button. And then the button to traverse the parent folders the drop down is reversed from what you'd expect in every other file system (parent, parent of parent, etc, etc) Google drive starts with the ROOT folder first. So ridiculously dumb.
