Potentially great collaboration tools

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Google Chat from other similar products?

The all in one features once you purchased GWS is there, so it is an effective licensing models, in another thing, the GWS' feature that allows users yo store virtually any size of file that then can be integrated with Google chat is something else

Light in use and user friendly

What do you dislike most about this product?

It could have been more if the vendor is exploring more possibility like approval matrix, ability to import from other similar product ( incase of migration ), and the no minimize button in Mac at least may look minimum but it is impacting users, the push notification if you're offline is also needed
