多年来，微软凭借(Microsoft)Word、Excel和PowerPoint等桌面应用程序主导了协作和生产力技术领域。这些很快成为每个企业的标准工具。学生们甚至被要求学习这些工具，为在专业领域使用它们做准备。
随后，Google 推出了G Suite ，这是一个与(G Suite)Office 365具有高度竞争力的工具组合，提供了分别相当于Word、Excel和PowerPoint的(PowerPoint)Docs、Sheets和Slides等基于云的应用程序。
但这并不是谷歌(Google)带来的全部。G Suite提供了超越标准协作和生产力的强大产品组合。即便如此，微软(Microsoft)在适应现代数字业务的挑战方面做得很好，并通过使用Microsoft Office 365将其应用程序放在网络上，与谷歌(Google)的“云优先”方法保持同步。
在最近的一篇文章中(article)，我们比较了这两家巨头（Microsoft Outlook和Google Gmail）的电子邮件服务，以帮助您了解哪种服务更适合您的业务。在本文中，我们将查看整个Office 365与G Suite产品组合，以更深入地讨论该讨论。您的企业应该依赖哪一个：不断发展的老牌企业，还是数字颠覆者？

Office 365 最大的区别
与G Suite(G Suite)相比， Office 365的一大区别在于Office 365将其工具提供为桌面和 Web 应用程序。这为团队提供了他们喜欢的工作方式的灵活性，并确保他们可以在互联网中断或WiFi信号不足的情况下高效地完成工作而不会中断。
另一个重要因素是，Word、Excel、PowerPoint和Outlook等(Outlook)Office 365应用程序都为创建、编辑和自定义内容提供了令人印象深刻的丰富功能的广度和深度，以至于大多数用户永远不会使用所有功能。
但是，在决定您希望为团队提供何种级别的工具时，这些功能的可用性和改进的性质是一个重要的考虑点。
G 套件
G Suite是(G Suite)Google为个人和企业提供的基于订阅的产品套件（同样，我们将在此重点关注后者）。与Office 365产品不同，您还可以作为拥有Google帐户的个人用户免费访问许多G Suite产品。(G Suite)
但是，作为企业，您需要升级到提供更强大工具集和更好数据保护的订阅计划。

谷歌 G Suite 最大的(Google G Suite Biggest)
差异化
G Suite最大的区别之一
是一切的互联程度。共享文件和文件夹、在一个内容中拥有多个协作者、从一个应用程序或服务过渡到下一个应用程序或服务都很容易。这提高了整个组织的沟通、协作和透明度，这对于业务敏捷性和成功至关重要。
上述G Suite应用程序和服务仅构成Google为企业提供的核心产品，其中许多产品按原样免费提供给个人。除了这些应用程序和服务之外，还有一个额外的功能领域，其中包含AdWords、
Analytics和Search Console等强大的工具，可以用来帮助您的公司成功提高其品牌的数字知名度。您可以利用许多其他方法来改善您业务的其他领域。
在这些堆栈之上，谷歌(Google)还通过无缝集成使插入第三方应用程序变得非常容易，使您的企业能够扩展和集中其工具套件；再次，使事情更容易访问并提高效率和敏捷性。
哪个是Suiter？
很棒的是，您实际上可以结合这两种主导力量并利用两者的组件来产生新的协同敏捷性和效率，因为Word、
Excel和PowerPoint等(PowerPoint)Office 365应用程序与 G Suite 的文档(Docs)、表格(Sheets)和幻灯片(Slides)集成。Gmail
甚至可以与Microsoft Exchange、Microsoft 的邮件服务器和日历服务器一起设置。
在Office 365(Office 365)
和G Suite之间进行选择时，两者都将为您的企业提供卓越的服务。任何一个都可以更好地与您的业务保持一致。这不是一套工具可以为您做出的决定。您必须根据业务的需求、流程和文化实践来确定。
Office 365 vs. G Suite: Which to Choose for Your Business?
For years, Microsоft dominated the
collaborаtion and рroductivity tech space with desktop apps like Word, Excel,
and PowerPoint. These quіckly became standard tools for every busineѕs.
Students were even required to learn these tools in preparation for using them
in the professional world.
Then Google launched G Suite, a portfolio of tools that has grown to be highly competitive to Office 365, providing cloud-based applications like Docs, Sheets, and Slides that are tantamount to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, respectively.
But that’s not all Google brought to the table; G Suite offers a robust portfolio beyond standard collaboration and productivity. Even so, Microsoft has done well to adapt to the challenges of modern digital businesses and keep pace with Google’s “Cloud First” approach by putting its applications on the web with Microsoft Office 365.
In a recent article, we compared the email service of these two giants (Microsoft Outlook and Google Gmail) to help you understand which service could be better for your business. In this article, we’ll take a look at the entire Office 365 vs. G Suite portfolios to take that discussion a level deeper. Which one should your business rely on: The evolving incumbent, or the digital disruptor?
Office 365
Office 365 is a subscription-based suite of
products Microsoft provides for both personal and business use (we’ll focus on
the latter here).
Available Business Plans
For businesses, Microsoft offers three
subscription plans (per user, per month, with an annual commitment).

Office Applications
- Outlook for email
- Word for creating documents
- Excel for creating spreadsheets
- PowerPoint for creating presentation decks
- Access for database management and application
development
Office 365 basic and Premium offer access to
both desktop and web-based versions of the product suite, while Essentials only
offers access to the web-based versions.
Services
- Exchange for secure hosted email services or a
client hosted email server
- OneDrive for cloud-based file storage
- SharePoint for company intranet
- Teams for individual and team instant
messaging
Premium and Essentials offer access to what
many businesses would consider business-critical, including cloud storage, an
email server, an intranet, and a chat app, while basic only offers cloud
storage. You get 1 TB of OneDrive storage with each plan.
Office 365 Biggest
Differentiators
A big differentiator for Office 365 when
compared to G Suite is that Office 365 offers its tools as both desktop and web
apps. This gives teams flexibility with how they prefer to work and ensures
they can get their work done efficiently without interruption if, say, the
internet is down or the WiFi signal is less than adequate.
Another important factor is that Office 365 applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook each offer an impressive breadth and depth of rich functionality for creating, editing, and customizing content, so much so that most users will never utilize every feature.
However, the availability and refined nature of these features is an important point to consider when deciding what grade of tools you prefer to enable your teams with.
G Suite
G Suite is a subscription-based suite of products Google provides for both personal and business use (again, we’ll focus on the latter here). Unlike Office 365 products, you can also access many of the G Suite products for free as an individual user with a Google account.
However, as an enterprise, you’ll want to upgrade to a subscription plan that provides a more robust toolset with better data protection.
Available Business Plans
For businesses, Google offers three
subscription plans (per user, per month, with no annual commitment).

G Suite Applications
- Gmail for email
- Calendar for easy team scheduling
- Docs for creating documents
- Forms for creating surveys and forms
- Sheets for creating spreadsheets
- Slides for creating presentation decks
- Jamboard, a digital whiteboard
- Keep for organizing ideas
Regardless of which G Suite plan you select,
you’ll get access to all of these applications that offer varying degrees of
functionality based on the plan you select.
Services
- Drive for storing and sharing files
- Currents for company wide discussions
- Hangouts Chat for instant messaging
- Hangouts Meet for video conferencing
- Sites for creating websites
- App Maker for creating business apps
- Google Cloud Search to search across G Suite
- Admin, Vault, and Mobile for securely managing
users, devices and data
Regardless of which G Suite plan you select,
you’ll get access to core services that offer varying degrees of functionality,
aside from services like App Maker, Cloud Search, and Vault that aren’t
available with a Basic plan.
Google G Suite Biggest
Differentiators
One of the biggest differentiators for G Suite
is how interconnected everything is. It’s easy to share files and folders, to
have multiple collaborators in one piece of content, to transition from one
application or service to the next. This improves communication, collaboration,
and transparency across an organization, which is critical for business agility
and success.
The above G Suite applications and services
only make up the core offerings Google provides businesses, and many are
available free to individuals as it is. Beyond these applications and services
is an additional realm of functionality with robust tools like AdWords,
Analytics, and Search Console that can be leveraged to help your company
succeed in boosting digital awareness of its brand. There are many others you
can leverage to improve other areas of your business.
On top of these stacks, Google has also made
it incredibly easy to plug-in third-party apps with seamless integrations that
enable your business to expand and centralize its suite of tools; again, making
things more accessible and enabling greater efficiency and agility.
Which Is Suiter?
What’s great is you can actually combine these
two dominant forces and leverage components of both in tandem to generate new
synergistic agility and efficiency, as Office 365 applications like Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint integrate with G Suite’s Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Gmail
can even be set up with Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft’s mail server and
calendaring server.
When it comes to choosing between Office 365
and G Suite, both will offer your business what it needs to excel. Either one
could align better with your business. It’s not a decision a suite of tools can
determine for you; it’s something you have to determine based on the needs,
processes, and cultural practices of your business.
