Gemini’s performance varies by app: strong in Docs and Gmail but less so in Sheets or Meet (where transcripts may be hard to read) .

Some small startups find Workspace expensive—especially when they previously used free Gmail accounts. Yet, after securing funding, many upgrade as a matter of priority .

Not all feedback has been positive—one user complained of being overcharged post-cancellation and poor customer support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Meet is very easy to use, with a clean interface that doesn’t require extra downloads. The integration with Google Calendar makes scheduling effortless, and the platform is stable even with large groups. Screen sharing, live captions, and recording features are very helpful for both work and personal meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the video quality drops depending on internet connection, and it doesn’t offer as many advanced collaboration tools compared to some competitors. A better whiteboard feature and more in-built background customization options would make it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multiple users can work on the same document simultaneously, and since everything is stored in Google Drive, we can access any document from any device and location. Sharing documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, folders, or any type of file from Drive is also very easy, allowing us to send them to anyone at any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Offline access is somewhat limited, and when converting a Google Doc or Sheet to a Microsoft Word or Excel file, the formatting or formulas can occasionally become disrupted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Google Meet is its simplicity and seamless integration with other Google Workspace tools like Gmail, Calendar, and Drive. Scheduling and joining meetings is quick and intuitive, especially for teams already using Google products. The interface is clean, user-friendly, and doesn't require any additional downloads or plugins. Features like live captions, screen sharing, and breakout rooms also add great value for both casual and professional use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Google Meet is that some advanced features—like enhanced noise cancellation, meeting recordings, or breakout rooms—are only available with paid Google Workspace plans. Also, compared to competitors like Zoom or Microsoft Teams, the customization options and meeting controls can feel somewhat limited. A more robust in-meeting chat experience and better virtual background performance would also improve the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful thing about google meet is how easy to join and schedule meetings. It works well for interviews, virtual onboarding, daily stand up calls, review meetings, employee engagement sessions which is conducted virtually without needing extra effort. The upsides are it is simple to use connects smoothly with google calendar and Gmail, and reliable with good video and sound quality. As an HR professional I'm using google meet on a daily basis to conduct daily stand up call. About customer service is also supportive, and the integration with other google apps makes everyday work faster and more organized. It was simple to implement for our team and it works smoothly.

The least helpful part of google meet is limited interactive features in the basic version, like no built in breakout rooms or advanced interactive features. It also depends heavily on internet quality so week connections can affect video and audio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I really like about Google Meet is how easy it is to just jump into a meeting without fuss. I love that it’s built right into Google Calendar, so I don’t have to copy and paste links or worry about scheduling mix-ups. Also, the noise cancellation is a lifesaver when there’s background noise — it keeps things clear without me having to say “Can you hear me?” a million times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, what bugs me a bit about Google Meet is that sometimes the video or audio can lag, especially if the internet isn’t great. Also, the screen layout can feel a little cramped when there are a lot of people in the meeting — it’s not always easy to see everyone at once. And I wish it had a bit more flexibility with backgrounds or fun features like some other apps do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
