Schools and students alike benefit from the ubiquity of Google products. This makes for a familiar interface that is intuitive, easy to implement and profusely documented while adding academic specific tools that are invaluable: - Tons of space in Google Drive and Gmail to match the demanding needs of schools - A very complete LMS under Google Classroom with new features added constantly. - Hardware administration for Chromebooks and other resources. - Free for qualified institutions (upgrades are available too with even greater benefits) - Enough safety features to safeguard vaualbe information > > **Cons**: Certain tools need to be polished: - Google Drive is still problematic for copying entire folders. The workaround is to use their Desktop app and make changes from your computer. - Google Classroom still lacks a simple to use Central Administrative Dashboard for different organisations where you can see at a glance reports on schools, courses, teachers and students. A tool like this would be a huge plus. > > We have relied on Google Workspace for Education for five years. It's easy to use, intuitive, yet powerful and reliable. During the pandemics, and with the heaviest restrictions on this side of the continent, Workspace for Education was the cornerstone of our E-Learning efforts, helping us reach effectively 5,000 students whose education was our responsibility. ----- ### "Essential Tools for K-12 Education" — 4.0/5 > **Arnie** | *30 June 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use, compatibility with other platforms like MICROSOFT and ADOBE make this suite of tools the go to one stop for all your preK-12 users. The feature set is robust enough for almost all educators and allows students to create, edit, provide feedback, collaborate and share with very little training or backend support. > > **Cons**: As one of the industry leaders in complete software packages for K12, you would expect the suite to have more robust features or at least features similar to the other larger providers. For the price, GOOGLE is the place for all K12 districts but if we are going to continue to supporting the platform it should grow as quickly and as nimbly as our diverse users. > > I have and will continue to endorse the use of GOOGLE WORKSPACE in the K12 educational environments. As new features are made available and the product continues to adapt to changing expectations in the K12 marketplace, they will continue to be a leader in producing low priced solutions for schools. ----- ### "Simple, Reliable, and Great for Education" — 5.0/5 > **Sadaf Yusuf** | *31 August 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, makes teaching and collaborating much more convenient. I really like all in one places. > > **Cons**: Storage limitations is my concern for institutions with lots of users and files the minor drawbacks. > > In my experience it is reliable, practical, saves time managing educational tasks and collaboration. ----- ### "Google workspace an ultimate choice and preference." — 4.0/5 > **Suleiman** | *16 December 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google workspace is adaptable to change in the size of the institution,it is able to help you simplify work and improve innovation > > **Cons**: They are difficult to use for the inexperienced individuals. > > It think google workspace are more basic in with tasks optimization and functioning and are entirely dependent on internet,when you lose access to secondary services. ----- ### "Google For Education: A great tool" — 5.0/5 > **Abhinav** | *15 February 2023* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Dedicated email for entire staff and students, classic digital classroom, very well learning modules > > **Cons**: Nothing as such , moreover all the features are perfect and up to the mark > > I like the package and found fit for educational use ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/351217/google-workspace-for-education?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/351217/google-workspace-for-education) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
