- Microsoft 365 (Office 365) continues to add value to its platform, which is why I switched. In this video, I discuss the differences between the two and why I switched to Microsoft 365.

Love your honesty and comprehensive and especially very practical reasons there - you da man!
Such a similar scenario to you! Thanks for this video! Going through the same with my agency soon. 365 surprisingly has become better for collab tools, outlook add-ins, now more affordable and the light admin center is now easier to use than google workspace admin.
samee! Microsoft provides more value per $$$$$
Love this! Recently joined a company that use Google Workspace but immediately picked up that everything is an added app with a subscription. Most ironic part of all is that every single user also has Microsoft apps and still uses them 🤦🏻♀️ I’m now busy with an application / tool rationalization exercise to show the true cost of what Google Workspace is costing the organization. I believe what Microsoft offers as standard features far outweighs Google’s offering.
Liked your take and found it helpful. I used to be a MS windows user during my corporate days. I have since retired but am involved with a couple of startups and looking at starting a new venture that could if successful grow very quickly in terms of staffing. I use a Mac and I am in the Apple Eco system with hardware but still use microsoft 365 for the office suite. I use Google for gmail and all my current emails are gmail based. I would like to pick a platform to minimize the number of other apps with my new venture. I think you have convinced me that 365 is the way to go. I may still keep dropbox as I find it really quick and easy. For my personal use I use a few Apple apps, like reminders, photos and notes. Again, thanks for this video, I just subscribed to your channel.
I remember a time before subscriptions. why have we all grown to accept Office as a subscription service. Crazy.
Great video. Useful insights. Thank you.
OneDrive had one thing going for it: Your critical files are backed up to the cloud. If you have to do a clean install of Windows, nothing is lost.
Very true.
My understanding about storage is M365 tops out at 50GB of mail storage, and has a separate quote for file storage, as compared to GW that combines your total storage for mail and file storage.
M365 have licenses that offers upto 1.5TB of mail storage, including auto expanding archives
Thanks for the great insights!
I agree with your assessment of Google's solution. I'm curious about what you're experiencing at the one-year mark. Do you have any new insights concerning the switch.
Hey Jerad, great video! It feels strange to leave gmail and Workspace, but your video removed my concerns. Hello Microsoft ;)
Brilliant information, appreciate it and i think i'm braking up with googles workspace!
Really liked this video, that I immediately subscribed. The content presented is top notch, and is what I was looking for. Thanks
I'm really interested in switching my firm over from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365. The cost aspect you mentioned is huge, especially if you use many subscriptions. My firm uses Slack, and we're paying almost $200/month for it. And with Microsoft, Slack functionality is included in Teams!
I am also thinking about doing it,
Which specific function are you refering to?
Thank you!
Thank you!!!
Thinking the same, me as an Agency owner. What about Google Analytics, Google Ads, etc... attached to a Gmail/google workspace account?
Still use my Google login it’s just not connected to Google Workspace anymore.
What about security between Google Workspace vs Microsoft 365?
Thanks!
MSFT security and compliance features are a major reason many startups, unicorna and decacorns move to M365.
Identical scenario, at one point i thought i was going insane with how slow Gdrive is with media. This video makes me feel better about my chnage! Thank you
How do you feel almost a year later? I recently attempted switching to 365 Bus and OMG - 10 days and hundreds of $ and dozens of hours later I spent Thanksgiving holiday wiping MS Office setup and wiping Windows 11. Exchange, Entra, and Home Admin was a mess! After setting up Outlook, my OneNote stopped working - it wouldn't sync. Four MS 'ambassadors' and hours on the phone and remote assist...no help. I need to get something hooked back up before Monday and I am seriously considering going back to Workspace because I'm scared to death of trying MS again. I don't know what went wrong (we didn't even migrate anything!). MS seemed so slow and my internet speeds are blazin' with all other sites. All I can figure is MS bloat because of so many apps: Outlook, Teams, Dev (and I can't get rid of this - so much I don't want)....anyway, as I'm sitting here trying to decide what to do I was hoping you could give me 'one year later'. Thanks Jerad.
Jerad, thanks for the helpful video. Can I do the trial in 365 without messing up my Google Workspace setup?
You can but wouldn’t be able to send email there without making DNS changes. Then you’d have email in both places that was not in sync until you made a decision. I’d recommend using Outlook with a Gmail account or something like that for a while to see if you like the experience before committing to a full switch.
Excellent video.
Can I-Cloud be used to sync the devices with MS Office? I have an I-phone, I-Pad Pro and MacBook Pro. Can I use the devices to go into Office and One Drive and get my content? Thanks for a great video. I subscribed.
Yes sure as long as you are signed in to same accounts accross these devices.
Do you still use your gmail emails and calendar in Outlook? Did you loose the ability to use Labels and other features gmail ?
Labels are just folders within outlook.
Google is more about using tags which are the labels.
Microsoft tend to be be more hierarchical based,.folders etc
Hello , Really loved your video. Explained so beautifully. Can you let me know that on how many desktops or computers can we login with the same user email. Like I want to use my email (microsoft email) both on my laptop and desktop. Is it possible to use it on two different computers on the same time ?
You could certainly do that. I’m sure there is a limit but it’s likely a limit of simultaneous connections, not how many devices are logged in.
The biggest advantage between Google workspace and O365 is not the apps, it's the security. In O365, the account can be tied to a device via MDM. Google doesn't give two shits about MDM and MFA which is why most data breaches usually happen in environments that run off of Google products. The biggest selling point is their ease of use - you can have a small company and set up services without even being an IT. That is also its achilles heel.
Not true, google does give a fuck.. it offers MFA just a well as o365 does, their implementation is different. MDM is not a holy grail, it also has cons.
Do you have a video on how to migrate from workspace to 365?
I’ve considered it. It was quite a process. There are instructions online but they are pretty technical.
@Daily Learn Tech we need it please!
Outlook sucks. The search functionality is all over the place and html formatting for it is a nightmare. Teams constantly crashes. As somebody who has worked with both, I am going Google. And exactly for what are you using spark for? Gmail has chat and calender integrated. Just as outloom. So same feel in the mobile version.
it's time for open standards (file formats, features), to be used in businesses. It's INSANE, that you cannot choose which tools to use, because of compatibility issues, that Microsoft enforces on purpose. seriously FUCK that behavior.. Being TOO dependent on ONE vendor/developer is VERY DANGEROUS! Being able to easily switching tools, while still being able to fully use the files, is ESSENTIAL for the future. Time for companies to WAKE UP.
Thank you for that video. Can you give feedback after one year?
Outlook is buggy, havw less imprtant features than Thunderbird. I use both for my business.
I have an iPhone This happens How?
How did you do it, is there a process of deleting workspace and migrating the domain over to Microsoft because I plan on switching also
Yes there is for migrating email and calendars over. I didn’t have to migrate anything in Google drive because I was already using Dropbox. I should make a video about it because it was quite an involved process due to the way Google handles data connections. It required connecting Microsoft to the Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts APIs in the Google Developer portal.
@@jeradhilltech if it’s just email, after connecting the email to Microsoft can you then delete the account from
Google or do you need to have both
How did it go? Are you happy?
Another apple fan... Microsoft onedrive is like using your laptop without bringing it. It's a small version of azure. Welcome to Microsoft broo

I thought Microsoft was doing away with the custom email this year? Any thoughts on that?
I don’t think so. Countless businesses use Microsoft 365 for email. Email has been at the core of their business services for decades.
Custom emails for personal side customers, probably. Hell would freeze over before they stopped allowing custom domains on the business side.
Yes. They are doing away with custom for private accounts. Domains are staying. Very important to there ecosystem.
Only for the consumer versions of Microsoft 365 (Personal & Family).
@@jeradhilltechTrue
I am using both suites for years now. Ms is slow and Leggy vs gsuite is snappy and clean..Ms have lots of out of the box features but in gsuite its all achievable by apps script. I wish I can move completely to gsuite.
you will, G Suite is constantly adding new features and schools and university nowadays only use G Suite, future professionals will find it more familiar than Office
@@vitorf2303 educational customers make a large customer base of M365. Yes, there is competition with GWS but nowhere comparable to customer base with M365
Microsoft 365 Business Premium will give users 5TB of storage if there are 5 or more people in the organisation. This feature needs to be turned on.
I’m not a business !SOMEONE PLZ RESPOND🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
4:50 the thing for me that pissed me off. Was they told me I would have to pay for a higher tier of service to get CZcams. Something that is already free for FREE USERS. Support was completely useless. And then I zip up all my Google drive foldersd and I reinstall Google Drive on my Mac and I go to unzip my files and all the .gdoc (google docs) files won't upload because it says "they're corrupted" which is BULLSHIT. They're not corrupted. it's just you can't operate Google drive like every other file system from the dawn of computing which is pure incompetent stupidity.
Then I notice Google drive doesn't have a "go up one folder" button. And then the button to traverse the parent folders the drop down is reversed from what you'd expect in every other file system (parent, parent of parent, etc, etc) Google drive starts with the ROOT folder first.
So ridiculously dumb.
$22/ month for Premium...per user? Good luck with that.
Pricy, but it comes with a suite of software I would have been paying for anyway.
No more Tick Tick?
Living that Microsoft 365 life at the moment.
Tick tick is different from any of the Microsoft to do apps, its unparallel

Google work what? hahaha
Your pop zoom in and out is really annoying 😐
I am about to start a project that collaborates between locations, however, the locations are not using the same platforms. Some use M365, some on google. AnY advice on using a collaborative platform that everYone can see and use?
