office 365 vs google
TRANSCRIPT
Switchers back from
Google Apps Looked at Google Apps and said: “No!”
www.whymicrosoft.com
“We dismissed Google early on, because we didn’t think it was
enterprise-ready.”
“The lack of basic functions in Google Apps, like cut-
and-paste between applications, resulted in hundreds of
hours of lost productivity each month throughout our
organization.”
“I was tired of the headaches with Google Apps. I’m quite
excited to be using tried-and-true Microsoft products. The
Exchange Online pricing is competitive, and the overall value
is higher.
“Switching to Microsoft Online Services, with its SLAs and easy
interoperability with Microsoft Office, has avoided a lot of
problems. It just works, versus the time-intensive
workarounds Google Apps required.”
“Frankly, the Google value proposition is cost based, and once you
take that away, what’s left?”
“Many of the things you normally expect to be able to do at
an enterprise IT management level were not available
with Google”
“Moving to Google Apps meant accepting an ultimatum—
the cloud or nothing. With Microsoft, we are able to move to
the cloud at our own pace, when the time is right for us”
“Google Apps is not an enterprise-class solution. It’s a
consumer solution, and we did not want to risk our business
on it.”

“Never worked as advertised”
“Some Outlook data, however, isn’t supported by Google Apps. This information either isn’t available at all with
Google Apps Sync, or it’s available in Outlook but not from the Google Apps interface.”
