Whether to use Google’s G-Suite or Microsoft’s Office 365 is often one of the first decisions a small to medium business owner makes when moving to the cloud. Depending on the size, expected growth, and technical needs of the organization, what cloud platform one chooses may vary. Some of the most important factors to consider include security, collaboration, integration, functionality, and usability.

Security

When it comes to security in G Suite vs Office 365, the latter is superior. Both G Suite and Office 365 administrators can easily customize their security protocols to manage user access and permissions. Microsoft and Google also regularly update their respective cloud suites, keeping them secure. While Microsoft's Office 365 security has struggled in the past with threat detection, today Office 365 is on par with G Suite. Native detection systems of G Suite and Office 365 equivalently filter out malware, phishing attempts, and spam. One minor advantage of Office 365 is multi-factor authentication, whereas G Suite only has two-factor authentication. Perhaps G Suite’s worst security fault is the platform’s convenience: its wide-ranging connectivity with third-party apps and extensions makes it a security risk because of the permissions it allows users to grant. By contrast, end users will be hard-pressed to find many things that are preconfigured to use Office 365 as a login.

Collaboration

Much of G Suite’s reputation as the unrivaled service for collaboration is rooted in users’ unfamiliarity with Office 365 collaboration tools. Despite these exaggerations, G Suite is still the better collaboration tool set. One common misunderstanding is that Office 365 users cannot simultaneously edit files in Excel or Word. Part of this misconception is due to Office 365’s interface, which does not lend itself to collaboration in the same way that G Suite does. Office 365’s offline capabilities can lead to users foregoing collaboration through the cloud; G Suite is cloud restricted. Granted, an organization may opt to not install desktop versions of Microsoft applications, avoiding this issue entirely.
