Let’s get straight to it. If you’re running a small or mid-sized business, Microsoft 365 is the clear front-runner over Google Workspace. If you’ve been considering which platform is better, or are actively looking for a Google Workspace alternative, we’re here to share why Microsoft 365 takes the lead.
As a managed IT service provider with over 20 years of experience, Brickhost has eight solid reasons why Microsoft 365 is best for our clients.
8 Reasons To Choose Microsoft 365 Over Google Workspace
1. Built for Managing Windows Devices
Microsoft 365 makes managing Windows devices simple with features like Autopilot for zero-touch deployment, BitLocker for encryption, and streamlined patching and updates.
2. Tools Your Team Already Knows
Microsoft 365 includes full desktop versions of Word, Excel, Outlook, and more – so your team isn’t limited to browser-only tools. Even without internet access, they can keep working with full functionality.
3. Stronger Security from the Start
Microsoft 365 comes with enterprise-grade security tools built in. With Google Workspace, you’ll likely need to add third-party solutions to match the same level of protection, which drives up cost and complexity.
4. Greater Control Over Data
Microsoft gives administrators detailed control over user access and data handling. For instance, with Intune App Protection Policies, you can prevent users from copying sensitive content from work emails to personal apps.
5. Better Analytics and Visibility
Microsoft’s device management tools offer rich reporting on compliance, security risks, and usage. These insights help businesses make smarter decisions and stay proactive.
6. Trusted in Highly Regulated Industries
While both platforms meet key compliance standards, Microsoft 365 goes further, with over 300 global certifications. It’s a top choice for sectors like healthcare, finance, and government.
7. Mobile Device Security
Microsoft 365 supports robust mobile device management for both Apple and Windows, helping you protect every endpoint in your business.
8. Smarter Business Phones
With Microsoft Teams Voice, you can replace traditional phone systems with a cloud-based solution that integrates directly with your workflow. It’s flexible, scalable, and cost-effective.
