Microsoft 365与Google Workplace相比如何?哪个(Which one)更好,世界上最热门的问题之一都有答案。在本文中,我们将找到这一点。他们都有许多相似之处,但有足够的差异可以吸引特定的观众。
Microsoft 365 与 Google Workplace
Microsoft 365(前身为Office 365)和Google Workspace(前身为G Suite )都是市场上最好的生产力软件,您不会出错。他们都有必要的软件,如云存储(Cloud Storage)、文档创建(Document Creation)等,可以帮助您有效地管理您的职业生涯。
Microsoft 365和Google Workplace之间的一些相似之处是:
- 视频会议
- 日历管理
- 文档(Document)、电子表格(SpreadSheet)和演示文稿(Presentation)
- 文件管理
- 团队
- 云服务
即使他们都做同样的事情,但体验可能会有所不同,因为他们都有一些相似之处以及一些不同的工具。
趣闻(Fun Fact):两者的另一个相似之处是它们都进行了名称更改,Microsoft 365之前称为Office 365,而Google Workplace则称为G Suite。
我们将根据以下理由对这两者进行比较:
- 文档创建:Word 与 Docs
- 电子表格:Excel 与表格
- 演示文稿:PowerPoint 与幻灯片
- 企业电子邮件:Outlook 与 Gmail
- 云存储:OneDrive 与Google Drive
- 价钱
让我们详细讨论它们。
文档创建:Word 与 Docs
OG之一MS Word(OGs MS Word)与Google Docs相抗衡。MS Word是两者中较老且功能更丰富的,它拥有行业领先的工具,如引用、评论、内置模板、自动更正等,帮助微软(Microsoft)在市场上占据主导地位多年。
另一方面,Google Docs是MS Words的更年轻、更轻量级的替代品。它具有新功能,例如允许多人处理文档的协作。它们具有与MS Word(MS Word)类似的大部分功能,对于轻量级用户来说是一个不错的选择。
话虽如此,MS Word 显然是更强大的软件,(MS Word is clearly the more powerful software,)它拥有更多专业人士可以发现的有用工具和功能。但是,您必须决定是否为生产力或协作提供更多价值,因为如果MS Word专注于先前,Docs更适合协作。
电子表格:Excel 与表格
管理记录和进行一些数学计算的应用程序几乎是所有类型的企业的必备工具,因此,Microsoft 365和Google Workplace都分别提供了各自版本的电子表格(SpreadSheet)应用程序、Excel和工作表(Sheet)。
然而,Excel是该部门的 OG,因为微软(Microsoft)在十年前完善了该应用程序,并不断为其添加新功能。它是创建预算、标记表和许多其他需要您处理数字的数据输入活动的一站式商店。
(Google)另一方面,谷歌已经建立了一个简单的解决方案。他们没有Excel之类的任何工具,但大多数用户不使用它们。然而,我们必须承认,谷歌(Google)正在迎头赶上,他们正在逼近,但他们需要有很大的改进才能与MS Excel竞争。
话虽如此,我们不能在这里选择一个明显的赢家。Google Sheet缺少一些基本功能,但同时它们更适合协作,这对某些人来说可能很重要。MS Excel在某些(MS Excel )Excel独有功能之上完成所有工作表,不包括协作。(Sheet)
幻灯片演示(Slideshow Presentation):PowerPoint 与幻灯片(Slides)
如果没有好的幻灯片演示(SlideShow Presentation)软件,一个人就无法攀登企业阶梯,幸运的是,谷歌(Google)和微软(Microsoft)都创建了自己的版本,幻灯片(Slides)和PowerPoint,它们都很棒。
就像Word和Excel一样,微软的PowerPoint已经统治了市场多年。他们最初是作为创建幻灯片演示(SlideShow Presentation)的优秀软件,并一直在发展。他们有动画、过渡和几十种不同的工具,让你和你的内容在人群中脱颖而出。
另一方面,谷歌的幻灯片(Slides)是一个不错的软件来创建幻灯片演示(Slideshow Presentation)。他们可能拥有市场上最好的协作工具,但在多样性方面他们无法与MS PowerPoint竞争。(MS PowerPoint)这并不是说他们没有足够的工具,而是微软(Microsoft)在竞争中遥遥领先,以至于他们都有些无法比拟。
因此,我们可以说MS PowerPoint 是这场战斗中的明显赢家(MS PowerPoint is a clear winner in the battle)。话虽如此,选择幻灯片(Slides)来创建简单的幻灯片演示(SlideShow Presentation)不会出错。
企业电子邮件:Outlook 与 Gmail
在Microsoft 365(Microsoft 365)和Google Workplace之间的这场战争中,(Google Workplace)微软(Microsoft)似乎将横扫所有土地。但这是Google Workplace开始收复一些地盘的部分。
Outlook很好,可能是市场上最著名的邮件服务之一。它们有 50GB 的存储容量(不包括附件)。最大文件大小为 150 MB,收件人数为 500,Outlook是商务电子邮件的不错选择。
话虽如此,Gmail可能是两者中的佼佼者。他们在全球拥有数十亿活跃用户。一次可以向 500 人发送邮件,但是,最大文件大小仅为 25 MB,但可以将更大的文件作为Google Drive附件发送。
MS Outlook是商务电子邮件(Business Email)的不错选择,但Gmail是两者中更好的选择。
云存储:OneDrive 与Google Drive
云存储(Cloud Storage)在这个互联网(Internet)世界中非常重要。它已经取代了Pendrive(Pendrive)、DVD、HDD等大部分物理存储设备。因此,选择云存储(Cloud Storage)服务非常重要。
Microsoft OneDrive是市场上最好的云存储服务之一。他们为个人云存储提供 1TB。但是,可以通过选择五用户企业(Enterprise)帐户来增加容量。
(Google Drive)由于Android 智能手机(Android Smartphones)和平板电脑的普及, (Tablets)Google Drive是最受欢迎的云存储服务之一。他们为基本(Basic)帐户提供 30 GB 的存储空间,并为商业(Business)和企业(Enterprise)订阅计划提供无限存储空间(他们应该至少有 5 个用户)。
两者中的任何(either of the two)一个都不会出错。要选择最好的,您需要检查价格。在讨论云(Cloud)存储时,我们必须考虑一个事实,即除了三星之外,大多数(Samsung)Android手机都使用Google Drive ,因为它们是极少数使用OneDrive作为备份系统的手机制造商之一。
价钱
定价是影响您决策的重要因素。但是,它并不像本文讨论的其他因素那么简单。
Google Workplace 定价
Google已尝试在不影响选项的情况下为您简化其订阅服务。他们有四个计划:
- Business Starter:每位用户每月 6 美元,您将获得自定义电子邮件、最多 100 名参与者的视频会议服务、每位用户 30 GB 的云存储空间等等。
- 商业标准(Business Standard):每位用户每月 12 美元,您将获得自定义电子邮件、最多 150 名参与者的视频会议,并可选择录制会议、每位用户 1 TB 的云存储空间等等。
- Business Plus:每位用户每月 18 美元,您将获得自定义电子邮件、电子发现、250 名参与者的视频会议以及记录和出勤跟踪、5 TB 云存储等等。
- 企业(Enterprise)– 自定义定价和工具。
所有Google Workplace计划都附带不同的服务,可能会吸引不同的受众。
Microsoft 365 定价
微软(Microsoft)有一个非常复杂的定价结构,可能会让你有点困惑,但好处是你有更多的选择可供选择。让我们稍微简化一下:
- Microsoft 365 Business Basic:每月 5 美元,您将获得商务电子邮件、OneDrive云存储、团队、 (Teams)Word、PowerPoint、Excel和Outlook的 Web 和移动版本。
- Microsoft 365 应用程序(Microsoft 365 Apps):每月 8.25 美元,您将获得 1 TB 的OneDrive云服务、离线(Offline)版Word、PowerPoint、Excel、Outlook、Publisher、Access等。
- Microsoft 365 商业标准版(Microsoft 365 Business Standard):每月 12.50 美元,您将获得Word、PowerPoint、Excel、Outlook、Publisher、Access和 Web 服务(例如 OneDrive 云存储、Team、SharePoint、Exchange等)的(Exchange)离线(Offline)版本。
- Microsoft 365 商业高级版(Microsoft 365 Business Premium):每月 20 美元,它拥有其便宜版本的所有功能,例如Word(Offline)、PowerPoint(Word)、Excel(PowerPoint)、Outlook(Excel)、Publisher(Outlook)、Access(Publisher)和Web(Access)服务,例如 OneDrive 云存储、Team、SharePoint、Exchange加上一些专有工具,例如Intune和Azure 信息保护(Azure Information Protection)。
- Microsoft 365 E1:每月 10 美元,我们为企业提供基本解决方案。使用此包,您将获得 1 TB 的OneDrive 云存储(OneDrive Cloud Storage)以及Microsoft 365的所有 Web 和移动应用程序。
- Microsoft 365 E3:每月 20 美元,您将获得Microsoft 365桌面应用程序、每位用户的最大邮箱大小为 100 GB 以及许多其他内容。
- Microsoft 365 F5:每月 35 美元,您将获得 E3 的所有功能以及增强的安全性和视频功能。
谈论Microsoft 365计划和Microsoft365 Enterprise计划时要注意的一件事是它们仅提供年度订阅。
结论
在这场战斗中选择一个明显的赢家,Microsoft 365 vs Google Workplace是不可能的。但是在查看了他们的服务之后,我们将所有内容都归结为一个声明。Google Workplace可能更适合协作,而Microsoft 365在其他方面则更好。

Microsoft 365 vs Google Workplace: Which one is better for you?
How does Microsoft 365 compare with Google Workplace? Which one is better, one of the hottest questions in the world has an answer. And in this article, we are going to find that. They both have dozens of similarities but there are enough differences that can appeal to a certain audience.
Microsoft 365 vs Google Workplace
Both Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) and Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) are some of the best productivity software in the market and you can not go wrong with either of them. Both of them have essential software such as Cloud Storage, Document Creation, etc that can help you in efficiently managing your professional life.
Some of the similarities between Microsoft 365 and Google Workplace are:
- Video Conferencing
- Calendar Management
- Document, SpreadSheet, and Presentation
- File Management
- Teams
- Cloud Service
Even though they both do the same thing but the experience may vary depending as they both have some similarities as well as some different tools.
Fun Fact: another similarity between the two is that they both underwent a name change, Microsoft 365 was earlier called Office 365, however, Google Workplace was called G Suite.
We are going to compare these two on the following grounds:
- Document Creation: Word vs Docs
- SpreadSheet: Excel vs Sheets
- Presentation: PowerPoint vs Slides
- Business Email: Outlook vs Gmail
- Cloud Storage: OneDrive vs Google Drive
- Pricing
Let us discuss them in detail.
Document Creation: Word vs Docs
One of the OGs MS Word is up against Google Docs. MS Word is older and more feature-rich of the two, it has industry-leading tools such as citation, comments, built-in template, auto-correction, etc that have helped Microsoft in dominating the market for ages.
On the other hand, Google Docs is a younger and lighter alternative to MS Words. It has new features such as collaboration that allow multiple people to work on a document. They have most of the features similar to MS Word and can be a good alternative for light users.
That being said, MS Word is clearly the more powerful software, it has more tools and features that a professional can find useful. However, you have to decide whether you give more value to productivity or collaboration because if MS Word is focused on the prior, Docs is better for collaboration.
SpreadSheet: Excel vs Sheets
An app to manage records and do some mathematical calculations is a must-have for almost all types of businesses, therefore, both Microsoft 365 and Google Workplace offers their version of SpreadSheet apps, Excel and Sheet respectively.
However, Excel is an OG in this department as Microsoft has perfected the app a decade ago and has kept on adding new features to the same. It is a one-stop-shop for creating budgets, mark sheets, and many other data entry activities that require you to play with numbers.
Google on the other hand has built a simple solution that just works. They do not have any tools like Excel but most users do not use them. However, we need to admit that Google is catching up, they are closing in, but they need to improve quite a lot to compete with MS Excel.
That being said, we can not choose a clear winner here. Google Sheet lacks some essential features but at the same time, they are better suited for collaboration which can be important for some people. MS Excel does all the thing Sheet excluding collaboration on top of some Excel exclusive features.
Slideshow Presentation: PowerPoint vs Slides
One can not climb the corporate ladder without good SlideShow Presentation software, lucky for you, both Google and Microsoft have created their own versions, Slides and PowerPoint respectively, and they both are great.
Just like Word and Excel, Microsoft’s PowerPoint has been ruling the market for ages. They started as an excellent software to create SlideShow Presentation and have kept on growing. They have animations, transitions, and dozens of different tools to make you and your content stand out from the crowd.
On the other hand, Google’s Slides is a decent software to create Slideshow Presentation. They probably have the best collaboration tool in the market but they can’t compete with MS PowerPoint when it comes to variety. It’s not like they don’t have adequate tools, it’s just the fact Microsoft is so far ahead of the competition that they both are somewhat incomparable.
So, we can say that MS PowerPoint is a clear winner in the battle. That being said, you won’t go wrong by choosing Slides to create a simple SlideShow Presentation.
Business Email: Outlook vs Gmail
It may seem like Microsoft is going to sweep all the land in this war between Microsoft 365 and Google Workplace. But this is the section where Google Workplace is starting to regain some ground.
Outlook is good and probably one of the most famous mailing services in the market. They have 50GB of storage capacity (without the inclusion of attachment). With a maximum file size of 150 MB and a recipient count of 500 Outlook is a decent option for a business email.
That being said, Gmail probably is the superior of the two. They have billions of active users all around the world. One can send a mail to 500 people at a time, however, the maximum file size is just 25 MB but one can send bigger files as a Google Drive attachment.
MS Outlook is a decent option for Business Email but Gmail is the better of the two.
Cloud Storage: OneDrive vs Google Drive
Cloud Storage is very important in this world of the Internet. It has replaced most of the physical storage devices such as Pendrive, DVD, HDD, etc. Therefore, choosing a Cloud Storage service is very important.
Microsoft OneDrive is one of the best cloud storage services in the market. They give 1TB for personal cloud storage. However, the capacity can be increased by opting for a five-user Enterprise account.
Google Drive is one of the most popular cloud storage services because of the popularity of Android Smartphones and Tablets. They offer 30 GB to Basic accounts and unlimited storage to Business and Enterprise subscription plans (they should have at least 5 users).
One can not go wrong with either of the two. To pick the best one you need to check the pricing. While discussing Cloud Storage we must consider the fact that most Android phones use Google Drive except for Samsung as they are one of the very few phone manufacturers using OneDrive as their backup system.
Pricing
Pricing is an important factor that can shape your decision. However, it is not as simple as the other factors discussed in this article.
Google Workplace Pricing
Google has tried to simplify its subscription services for you without compromising on options. They have four plans:
- Business Starter: At $6 per user per month you will get a custom email, video meeting service with a maximum of 100 participants, 30 GB cloud storage per user, and many more.
- Business Standard: At $12 per user per month you will get a custom email, video meeting with a maximum of 150 participants with the option to record the meeting, 1 TB cloud storage per user, and many more.
- Business Plus: At $18 per user per month you will get a custom email, eDiscovery, 250 participants video conferencing with recording and attendance tracking, 5 TB cloud storage, and many more.
- Enterprise – Custom pricing and tools.
All the Google Workplace plans come with different services that may appeal to different audiences.
Microsoft 365 Pricing
Microsoft has a very complex pricing structure that may confuse you a bit, but the upside is that you get a lot more options to choose from. Let’s simplify it a bit:
- Microsoft 365 Business Basic: At $5 per month you will get a business email, OneDrive cloud storage, Teams, web and mobile version of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook.
- Microsoft 365 Apps: At $8.25 a month you will get 1 TB of OneDrive cloud service, Offline version of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Publisher, Access, and many more.
- Microsoft 365 Business Standard: At $12.50 a month you will get an Offline version of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Publisher, Access, and web services such as OneDrive cloud storage, Team, SharePoint, Exchange, and many more.
- Microsoft 365 Business Premium: At $20 a month it has all the features that its cheaper version has such as Offline version of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Publisher, Access, and web services such as OneDrive cloud storage, Team, SharePoint, Exchange plus some exclusive tools such as Intune and Azure Information Protection.
- Microsoft 365 E1: At $10 a month we have a basic solution for Enterprises. With this pack, you will get 1 TB of OneDrive Cloud Storage and all web and mobile apps of Microsoft 365.
- Microsoft 365 E3: At $ 20 a month you will get desktop applications of Microsoft 365, a maximum mailbox size of 100 GB per user, and many other things.
- Microsoft 365 F5: At $35 a month you will get all the features of E3 plus enhanced security and video capability.
One thing to note while talking about the Microsoft 365 plans and Microsoft365 Enterprise plans is that they only offer annual subscriptions.
Conclusion
Choosing a clear winner in this battle, Microsoft 365 vs Google Workplace, is not possible. But after looking at their services we have boiled everything down to just one statement. Google Workplace might be better for collaboration whereas Microsoft 365 is better at the rest.
