Google Workspace Business Starter, Standard, Plus – Choosing the Right Plan
Google Workspace (formerly known as G Suite) offers transformative technology solutions that make it easy for teams of all sizes to accomplish their business goals. With integrated collaboration capabilities, ironclad security, and abundant storage, Google Workspace is the preferred choice for billions of users around the world.
If you’re interested in moving your team to Google Workspace, it’s important to understand the differences between each Workspace plan.
As the most affordable option, the Business Starter plan is an attractive choice for teams trying Google Workspace for the first time. Let’s take a closer look at Google Workspace Business Starter and decide if it’s the right plan for your team.
Why Should You Choose Google Workspace?
If you’re working in a collaborative business environment, chances are your team is already using at least a few of the services provided by Google Workspace.
You might even be wondering why you should choose a monthly subscription service when you already have access to some of these apps for free using services like Google Workspace Essentials Starter.
The fact is that no matter which Google Workspace plan you choose, there are tons of advantages for your organizations:
-
Easy to use
Google Workspace customers can enjoy their favorite workflow tools in one integrated platform rather than using each service separately.
-
Streamlined collaboration
Teams can easily co-edit files and see changes in real-time.
-
Comprehensive management controls
All user accounts can be managed with the Google Admin Console, which can’t be done if everyone on your team is using individual Gmail accounts.
-
Advanced automation and precision control with gPanel®
Common admin tasks can be automated while safeguarding sensitive organizational data using Promevo’s proprietary centralized user management and security interface, gPanel®.
-
More storage
Google Drive for Workspace offers more storage for user files and company data compared to free editions.
-
Reliable Support
The in-house support team at Promevo is always ready to serve you on your Google Workspace journey.
-
Strong security
Additional security measures like two-factor authentication can be implemented.
-
Custom email addresses
Custom business user accounts can be created for up to 300 users on the business tier.
