Google Docs

Pros

I like how user friendly Google Docs are with generating a new document, spell check, word count, and autosave. I also like being able to access my Google Doc from my Google Drive anywhere through the Google Drive app on my Google Pixel phone.

Cons

I can't retrieve previous versions of the document. For example, if I delete something and then want to go back to it, I can't because Google Doc doesn't save previous versions.

Pros

Google Docs allows for sharing and collaboration capabilities that competing writing processors don't have, or don't do as seamlessly. I also particularly like that I can access my Docs across all of my devices with native applications, which includes the new desktop application for Macbook.

Cons

There are some specific formatting features that Google Docs doesn't have, which I may need to use on occasion. In these instances, I am forced to switch to Microsoft Word. Something more specific to my own workload is that I wish the text formatting features could be more in-depth. I specifically wanted to change a passage of text I pasted from another document to my Google Doc's "Normal Text." However, I wanted to keep the italics in place, and not have them overwritten. I was forced to do this manually instead.

Reasons for Switching to Google Docs

Pros

I like that it's easy to use and free! Sharing documents with clients is super easy. I use it daily!

Cons

It's missing some features that would make it better for writing, like advanced formatting options.

Pros

I love the fact that I can access Google Doc's anywhere. I also love that work is saved every once in a while without having to click on "save". Gone are the days of "oh crap! I forgot to save!"

Cons

At first Google Docs was not very user friendly but most if not all kinks (that I know of) have been worked out.

Pros

I like that Docs can be edited in real time by multiple people and that you can track the changes people make. I also like that there's a historical record and it's really easy to leave comments and tags for others.

Cons

It's hard to think of something I don't like.

Pros

I didn't have money to add Microsoft 365 to my laptop, so I used Google Docs for free.

Cons

I have a system that I use, which will not allow me to use Google Docs.

Pros

Its provide very easy tools for generating word file,sheets, resume and other documents.it is very easy to use.there is no high knowledge or skills required to use this app.thats why i liked this app very much.

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult to use because when we create some sequence list so we have to mention every no. In list one by one there is no smart tools or features in Google docs available to support this type of smart work like excel sheet.

Pros

I love that there is no installation needed. It doesn’t take up space and that is very important to me. It allows me to share my work seamlessly. Also, controlling who can make edits to a document with edit permissions is a great feature. Collaborations are made simpler as well. Finally, being able to access documents from anywhere, at any time, is a huge plus.

Cons

Some of the settings and options aren’t placed where one would expect them to be, but there is a learning curve with any new product. There aren’t many cons.

Pros

Piece of cake to get the hang of, and it's got loads of handy features for collaboration and sharing.

Cons

Can't fault it, really. Does everything a writer needs without all the bells and whistles.

Pros

It has multiple functions and programs like docs, excel, google forms and so much more

Cons

Not able to put certain documents in folders

Pros

That I can access my files from any device and anywhere in the world as long as I can access the internet. Can't say the same for files I create on the software available on my PC.

Cons

No internet. No files. Wish there was a way I could use it with no internet. Or can I?

Pros

The simplicity and ease of use for single or collaborative documents make this software best to use overall. There are some key features I personally really enjoy but others may not find necessary.

Cons

There is a lack of template options thematically and stylistically. I often try to find free templates elsewhere to achieve my goal whether it be using Chicago, MLA, or APA style to the odd holiday themed document.

Pros

That it comes free qith my google account and I don't need to create a new account or install anything to use it. Also it is very practical that I can have my documents in hand fom any place I log in.

Cons

Some functionalities are still needed. Maybe some updates could come in handy.

Pros

Google Docs is almost unparalleled when it comes to document creation and sharing! The ability to add comments, go into feedback mode, make tasks from comments, are all crucial and things I use weekly if not daily. I love how by default margins and page breaks are gone since it's rare we need to print things at this point.

Cons

I think Google Docs could go even further into the world of digital-only files. One thing I would LOVE for them to implement are collapsible sections so that documents are much easier to navigate and scan through. If I have three massive sections to a Doc, I'd like to hide the other two to focus on the one I'm working on. Also please implement a Latex integration for math and rich text in the form of code blocks.

Pros

User-friendly and easy to deploy. I can share docs with anyone, anywhere, and edit in real-time.

Cons

Storage is on the light side, unless you have a company account that increases both your bandwidth and storage capabilities. Larger files also take longer to upload so if you're in a hurry, it is best to compress the files in a folder and upload the folder instead of individual large files.

Pros

Since I used this program, I prefer it a lot because it allows any sharing of my data. In a safe, easy and simple way, which led to rapid development in work performance. However, it has many helpful tools that you can use on the mobile phone as well.

Cons

In fact, I can't see any flaws in it since I used it and it works so well that I always recommend it to my colleagues.

Pros

Google Docs makes it easy to creat documents, share documents without email and be more productive and efficient with your time.

Cons

If there is internet interruption this can be problematic. But the lack of compatibility with other programs can be the most frustrating especially sharing with someone who is not tech savvy or is not familiar with online software like this.

Pros

It's easy to use and it's 100 percent free. But it's not only a place to store, create, and manage all your documents and files but you can share them with anyone you need.

Cons

There wasn't anything I didn't like about it.

Pros

The most important feature that I like about this platform, that you can easily edit any document and the original one stays as it is.

Cons

There are some features that are missing in this platform such as, the the feature of taking many steps to edit other documents.

Pros

I think DOCs is a really useful tool that should be taught from school. Being able to work in the same document with a team or even with customers in real life is very helpful in productivity and creativity

Cons

I think this tool is quite good the way It is

Pros

I love how seamlessly Google docs allows my HR team to work together. We are often working remotely, making async work very important. I love how we can edit, add comments, and work together so efficiently!

Cons

There is nothing for me to put here. The platform is exceptional.

Pros

I like to have anytime and anywhere this application because I work anytime when I have ocassions. That’s why I love Google docs, because I can work on my phone when I don’t have my pc.

Cons

I don’t like that it is a little hard to work on the phone. The Google Docs should be more accessible on any device.

Pros

Google Docs is one of the easiest online platforms to use to quickly and efficiently create a document in a place that you won't need to worry that it may get lost. With instant saving features, I don't worry about my Microsoft Word document getting deleted as it is saved to the cloud automatically. I frequently share documents with team members for quick collaborations and love how easy it is to share and change access and admin properties.

Cons

Being honest, I don't know that I have a list of things that I dislike with Google Docs. I have not found any faults up to this point.

Pros

I like the versatility of the program, and the ease of use plug and play if you will

Cons

Sometimes you can get lost on trying to locate a document or a spreadsheet or a just different things that you might be looking for I didn’t really like that

Pros

Google Docs has a simple and intuitive interface that makes it easy to create and format text, insert images, tables, and other elements, without the need for complex software or extensive training.

Cons

Limited offline editing optionsWhile Google Docs does offer offline editing through the use of Google Drive, but the offline functionality to be less robust or seamless compared to traditional offline editing in other word processing software.

Pros

I believe the most appealing aspect of Google Docs is its ease of collaboration. The ability to work on documents simultaneously with multiple users and see real-time changes is incredibly convenient and conducive to teamwork. Additionally, seamless integration with other Google services and cloud storage functionality are highly valuable.

Cons

I liked almost everything about Google Docs, but one thing that I found inconvenient was its limited offline functionality. While Google Docs does offer offline access, the functionality is not as robust as working online. It would be helpful to have more features available in the offline mode for times when an internet connection is not available.

Pros

The first time I used this is back when I was a doing a paper with my classmates in my university and I appreciate how we simply don't need to justify our contributions because the history will simply show it. I appreciate it even more when I write my stories because I can even change the color of the paper that is said to help it easier to write even more. It is still my favorite Google App up to date and has never left my phone app list ever since.

Cons

There are honestly none because I truly love Google Docs and how convenient it is whether using it for personal purposes or even in professional matters. I love how it is pretty straight forward and you don't need to be tech-savvy to be able to use it.

Pros

The templates and the suggestions when putting a document together have been very helpful.They really do have something for every business situation

Cons

It is very tough to speak with somebody.If you have a technical issue navigating through a problem is a bit aggravating.

Reasons for Switching to Google Docs

Pros

The best thing is that it has high compatibility and supports almost any device, may it be high-end or low-end. Secondly, Google Docs has many collaborative features such as inviting other people to edit the document and also can put restrictions on edit. Many software like Grammarly and Google Drive. Thirdly the docs has some other interesting features like opening through Google Meetand also showing the number of users currently viewing or editing the documents, keeping their identities hidden. It can be shared through multiple ways like mail, link, etc and also has an option of downloading a .doc format for offline saving. Other than that it has got almost every feature a normal word processor should have.

Cons

The Google Docs should launch a dedicated application for windows and mac because as of now it is totally cloud and network-based and people may not have proper network connectivity all the time. Because of network lags people may also lose their work as the changes may not get properly saved due to network lag. Furthermore the fonts styles maybe expanded and the background customization can be increased.

Pros

Its cloud-based platform ensures accessibility and ease of use across devices, enhancing productivity and teamwork.

Effortless collaboration and cloud-based accessibility streamline productivity in Google Docs.

Cons

some users may find limitations in formatting options or offline functionality compared to desktop word processing software.

Pros

Best platform to manager documents and have them coedited across teams, organizations. Flexible and understandable UI on top of easy online editing. Almost every user has years of experience or familiarity with the tool.

Easily extends filemanagement via apps on other devices and even phones.
A lot of integrations available with existing CRMs and other tools.

Cons

Sometimes copies can become annoying and get to be created mistakenly or due to sharing complexity.
The tool works only online. Some utilities are done in an interesting manner which is not straighworfard.

Pros

The on-the-go collaborative features are easy to utilize. You can make sure the right people (access management) has the right access level (edit, comment, read-only) so they can meet the objectives. Not having to think "what is the right doc I should access?" is just great. There will be only one single document to access, and one single online version for everyone.

Cons

It might be a bit complex to structure the text/ tab/ formats. As a user, it may take a bit longer than with the traditional MS Word.

Pros

It is so easy to share folders, whether that's adding others to it or sending people the link! I love how you can search the name of the doc on your search engine and it comes up! I think the best feature on google docs is how you can see real time updates from other people editing the document - it is so great for collaboration. And, I do not even need clients to turn in the documents to me - because I can see them! I also love how it saves all your changes live!

Cons

I have been using google docs forever and have no complaints.

Pros

Every single thing about Google Docs is collaborative, and that is a must-have feature nowadays. All work is automatically saved, the revision history allows me to look back through every single keystroke, and there are so many collaborative features that allow me to work with colleagues in a variety of ways. All documents can easily be shared, copied, and modified in quick fashion. I honestly like everything about this product!

Cons

There isn't much to dislike here. If pressed, I guess that I would say that there could be more template options to work with, but that is a very minor complaint. Everything about this product seems well thought out.

Pros

Google Docs is my go to Web application. I write all of my files and my notes in Google Docs. What I like most about this application is that it is easier for me to access my files or documents even when I am not connected into a Wi-Fi because it allows me to download my files offline.

Cons

I like least about the Google Docs is, I can’t seem to figure out how to customize certain elements. However , I can easily find instructions on how to change the entire page's layout but I am having a hard time when it comes to to smaller details like headers or footers.

Pros

Google Docs is my favorite. I use it everyday in some capacity--whether it is taking notes, collaborating with my team on a project, tagging outside organizations into a document, creating various informational sheets, etc. It works very well for our industry.

Cons

My only true complaint I have is the formatting when printing. If this could be fixed to work more similar to Microsoft Word, then I would have zero complaints.

Reasons for Switching to Google Docs

Pros

What I like the most is that the document auto-saves, and if anything happens to the computer or any device I am working on, the file will still be in the drive. I won't lose it.

Cons

There is one little thing I still don't know how to do, and it is to activate a dark mode in which the page turns black.

Pros

I would say the things I like most when it comes to using Google Docs is the storage your get to keep your files, the simplicity of navigating the site and the pricing.

Cons

I don't have any negatives to say about Google Docs.

Cons

In my opinion, there are no cons to using Google Docs.

Pros

Easily accessed. Quick to start if using basic features.

Cons

Confusing feature set. Surprisingly buggy for a Google product.

Pros

Producing plays requires a huge amount of team work. Collaborating on cast lists, costume inventories, prop plots, set designs and more are made far easier using Google docs. It's so easy to have all parties able to work on the same document, seamlessly, adding comments, tracking versions and seeing who commented what using tags

Cons

Offline editing gets a little tricky for those with multiple accounts but overall it's great

Pros

Google docs is so easy to implement across a company because of the familiarity of the tool and also the company-wide access to google suite. The implementation is so easy and the cost, compared to other tools, is very affordable. The ability to make edits to be suggested is a strong feature and collaboration/commenting is powerful.

Cons

The formatting of Google is really falling behind platforms like Notion or ClickUp. With these modern doc tools you have the / button which pulls up an extensive list of commands making formatting incredibly easy. In addition, you can easily embed videos and other embeds into tools like Notion. I have found it very frustrating after becoming proficient on tools like ClickUp docs and Notion.

Pros

In-class collaboration between users is Google docs strongest point ,and it is what I like most about it.
This has proven beneficial to my team , as we rely on it for multi - user collaboration when creating documents for my team or department. Having multiple users being able to work together on documentations makes us more efficient and productive.

Cons

Whenever I have imported word documents created with third party tools into Google docs, the formatting properties of such documents get distorted, leaving me spending extra time to reformat the file.

Pros

I use it all the time! Its easy to open files! It allows special features that make it easier to write and save documents! I like to change the color of the page I'm using! Helps with grammar and spelling, and so much more!

Cons

It froze on my phone a few times but no big deal, still accomplished a lot!

Pros

Makes my life so much easier as far as customizable templates template generators the surge helps me find my files and my docs more efficiently and effectively and saves time other than have to do it manually one by one so it's definitely something I would recommend doing if you have an organized files and folders or docs and have a hard time finding them I would definitely use Google docs search options

Cons

I didn't really find anything not to like it's very inexpensive so it's definitely also budget friendly

Pros

One of the most important features for me is that it is a webapp, is easy to access from any device without having software installed on all devices and paying more licenses. It works very well and is fast.

Cons

When importing a Microsoft Word document, the formatting is gone; you need to format again in Google Docs.

Pros

Google Docs delivers a great comprehensive package at zero cost. The ability for this software package to work easily across platforms and be so easy to use everyday has been a major plus and is why this is used on a regular basis to maximise output of my colleagues

Cons

There needs to be a tutorial package on the systems showing how to get the basics and most out of the system. For those who have used rival systems before it can take a while to adapt to the new system.

Reasons for Switching to Google Docs

Pros

Google Docs is an easy way for our team to keep policies and protocols up to date and easy to share. Having the ability to share with specific team members is huge and allows team members to edit, change, and suggest add-ons.

Cons

I would like to also have the ability to password-protect the document just as an added security.

Pros

Google Docs is a very easy-to-use software. Integrated directly into Google Drive you can easily create and organize your documents. The ability to collaborate in real-time is exceptional and truly boosts productivity in group settings. Sharing documents and managing access is very simple and straight forward.

Cons

Personally I am not a fan of the home screen where Google suggests which documents you are more likely to access. I prefer the default "My Drive" layout where it presents my documents exactly as I have organized them. No other complaints about this excellent tool.
