Google Docs

Kommentare: Overall, google docs rocks it. One of the best things for any startup to dive into and utilize.

Vorteile: Since g docs integrates seamlessly with gmail, it's an obvious thing to use (on a free account or business). It's easy to share with team members, collaborate, and organize. Even the little things like creating a doc in google and then saving it as a PDF to send to a client is a fast example of how much google docs just makes day to day work easier.

Nachteile: As our company has grown, so has all the stuff we need to store and manage. This is both a docs and google drive issue, though both are almost one in the same. With tons of stuff to store and manage it can quickly be difficult to find what your'e looking for when it's buried 15 layers deep in folders. The search functionality is amazing, but if you don't know the key words or what you need is not labeled right or in PDF format, then good luck finding it. Just be sure to set up good organization management.

Kommentare: Google docs is the best doc editing / collaboration software I've ever used. It's fast, stable and easy to get started. It accepts most popular file formats, files can be downloaded in a variety of formats, files are auto-saved and easy to share your documents as well as keep them private.

Vorteile: Google docs has several advantages that I like the most: 1. It saves on the cloud, meaning you can edit the doc on one of your device and review it on the other; 2. The powerful simultaneous editing by multiple users - google docs has the most powerful thread management system which tracks the order of editing and this makes the usage very easy and convenient; 3. Its powerful commenting system - one can almost comment on every single element of the doc and start a conversation discussing about it; 4. Its powerful admin system - this grants different power / authority to different users to the doc allowing them managing, editing and viewing. Overall, this is the number 1 option of text editing collaboration software.

Nachteile: Only several nits making it less convenient: 1. Only works as fast as your internet connection; 2. One must login to use it; 3. Missing some advanced formatting and style options only found in a traditional word editor (which I personally seldom need).

Kommentare: Overall, I find Google Docs to be the superior content writing software. I've tried other writing softwares before and along the way, but nothing has ever compared to the ease of use and effectiveness provided by Google Docs. The minor issues I have faced with Google Docs are ultimately overshadowed by how powerful and useful its benefits are and the amount of tools it provides me with to ensure I always have what I need.

Vorteile: I've used Google Docs for nearly a decade at this point and I've never had the desire to utilize another writing software. gDocs is one of my favorite tools to use because it puts a focus on ensuring that your writing is the focal point - there's no unnecessary fancy gimmicks, nothing to distract you from your work, and it's such an effective business tool. One of the best features Google Docs offers is its versatility. There's so much you can create with Docs; from personal writing projects and shared group projects to adding images and hyperlinking text. You can also easily transfer written content by utilizing fast and effective keyboard shortcuts - it's all so seamless that any other method of storing written information just doesn't make sense. Also, you can access gDocs on different devices and they sync all your content seamlessly. If you start writing something on your iPhone then pick up your laptop, everything you had written appears live. In addition, gDocs constantly saves your writing for you so that you don't have to worry about losing important data. Another positive aspect is how much content you can save. I've got documents back from 2011-2012 up to 2019 and I'm sure I'll continue storing new content from 2020 to beyond. Oh, and Google Docs is completely free to use!

Nachteile: Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to properly utilize the Shared document functionalities. I have had a few issues here and there involving the process of sharing my content with other users. There are also times where it can be difficult to tag comments on the content others have shared with me. Also, it can be difficult to locate past documents when using the search functionality. It doesn't always provide accurate results which can be frustrating when you're looking for a specific document.

Kommentare: Overall, I can say that Google Docs is your place to be if you wish to create and edit documents files that are meant to be collaborative and shared; of if your doc file is of vital importance, that it needs to be available to you anytime and anywhere. Being available anywhere and real time collaboration through Google Docs helps promote team work and productivity in our workplace, making each and everyone of us efficient employees.

Vorteile: Google Docs is definitely compatible to most devices and there is little of a chance that it won't. If you cannot download the application, then access Google Docs through any web browser and sign in to your google account (which is, by the way, very easy to create if you have none yet!). So, yes, it is accessible anytime and anywhere. This feature of great convenience is what I like most about Google Docs. Well, it also has a mobile app that you can download and access through your phone, if you wish to skip the web browser in ether your phone or PC. But yes, there are many ways to get your fingers work wonders with Google Docs. Whether I'm running late or away from a PC, then working on my phone is perfect solution. Plus, I don't need to always have internet to access my file and edit it. As long as I made the file available offline, then it'll work. All I need is to hook it up online and all my revisions will be updated to the online version of my file. It really is the best, since it is supported by the large cloud-based Google drive, I don't have to worry about losing my doc file, its just up in the cloud and I get to take it with me anywhere!

Nachteile: Google Docs even has a comment feature, which I really like as well. It makes every file available for a collaborative effort. Every end of week and end of month, whenever we generate a report of the accomplished requests weekly and monthly, our entire team gets to work with one file altogether, not only because the file in Google docs are accessible and shareable, but also because the comment feature let's read on the output of other members and share our feedback on how it can be improved or how it can better presented in our report, as one team. If everyone are online and if you are doing the editing work online as well, then together you can all see the changes and revisions being done to the file. Well, I like everything about Google Docs and there is none that I like least. It is just full of awesomeness!

Kommentare: Google Docs replaces all lightweight usage of Word, Excel etc. However, if your company heavily relies on Excel it'll be difficult to convince the power users to switch. Sheets has calculation limitations with very large data sets. It's an easy replacement for 99% of use cases for Word with all the advantages of easy sharing within a G Suite environment.

Vorteile: Our company completely switched off of using Office 365. There was a transition cost and many people complained about minor features missing from Word which we had to find workarounds. However, we were able to find workarounds and since it's included with our G Suite license it's saved us thousands per year. Everything is backed up and easy to share and we don't have to worry about dealing with future updates with Microsoft that cause us to buy new licenses or a costly yearly payment.

Nachteile: It's getting very close to feature parity with Office however it's still not 1-1. Google Sheets *just* released the ability to check for duplicates, prior you had to use a freemium browser extension. Training users who were very familiar and comfortable with Word was time consuming even though they are similar.
