Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • In Google Docs I like that you have the ability to add things on tho help you with grammar and stuff. I also like how easy it is to use.
  • Google Docs is tightly integrated in the Google Apps ecosystem making it easy to manage, share and backup documents. Google Docs easily handles basic correspondence, document creation and editing. The ability to share and work on a document at the same time is very helpful. The ability to create and save Templates is very helpful for common tasks. Google Docs on Chromebooks is just as usable as on a desktop unlike Office365.
  • - The fact that it is cloud based makes it so much easy to access and edit from anywhere without having to backup so many files.
  • (+) Easy to use and adapt. (+) Powerful recommendation system for layouts and designs. (+) Online collaboration with multiple stakeholders, one can be edit, read access, multiple people can work at a time. (+) One can export the file into desired formats like pdf, doc, text. (+) Autosave of document really helps when there are power cuts or internet outages.
  • I love that it is basically the same thing as Microsoft Word, but it is free, makes documents easily shareable, and saves them to your drive.

Cons

  • The inability to make it dark mode. And also the inability to change background colors.
  • Google Docs does not manage images as well as Microsoft office. This is important when creating documentation and forms with integrated images. Google has made great strides with "Track changes" features, but Microsoft Word has a more robust system for tracking and accepting changes.
  • - The web version of Google Docs has not facility to even create folders etc. for organizing the documents better.
  • (-) Completely dependant on the internet in cases of online collaborations. (-) Sometimes editing becomes too hard because of the online recommendation. (-) Affects productivity in collaborations.
  • I sometimes have issues with the formatting, and when re-opened in another platform it will extend onto a second page, etc.
