Side by side

What it does

Gmail on your domain, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar and Meet, managed from one admin console.

A free office suite with a writer, spreadsheet, presentation and PDF tools that open and save Microsoft Office formats.

Watch out

Sheets and Docs fall short of Excel and Word for heavy files, and moving off it later takes real effort.

The free version shows ads, it comes from a Chinese vendor which matters to some organisations, and complex Office files may not round-trip cleanly.
