aSMSC vs. gPanel Comparison Chart

Pros

• The user view is way more intuitive than the native google admin console. to be able to view and edit certain areas such as email delegation or calendar sharing is a game changer. On top of that, it also gives you the ability to search for items in google drive. This has came in handy when we have had a user out of office or left the company, we have been able to find and share documents with ease.
• gPanel adds some user management features that are curiously absent from Google's native admin portal. These admin features are essential for most administrators and tenants. It also adds very useful drive and calendar management features as well as some automation capabilities.
• It makes it much easier to manage accounts for users. For example, comparing and then copying group membership.
• My favorite features of gPanel are features that are not natively available or easy to use in Google Workspace. The ability to easily scan users' Google Drives or calendars or manage users and much more makes gPanel a great tool for any workspace administrator.
• A lot of features that we cant find at others admin panels, and waaaay easier to use, of understanding
• Drive Ownership Transfer: This is a standout function. It simplifies the process of migrating files between users, ensuring data continuity without the usual administrative hurdles. Gmail Inbox Delegation: The interface for managing delegate access is intuitive and saves our IT team a significant amount of time.
• Where to begin, I wouldn't even think about administering a Google Workspace without gPanel. There are so many features that Google doesn't have in it's own admin console and gPanel goes above and beyond to fill those gaps. From being able to edit a users GMail settings, to managing delegation and even automating offboarding gPanel has it all. On top of that their support and dedication to their customers is top notch!
• gPanel takes a lot of the heavy lifting out of Workspace administration. It’s made it easy for us to: - Manage user accounts and groups - Handle email signatures consistently - Clean up Drive ownership when people leave - Keep track of sharing settings - Run bulk updates without spending hours in the Admin console Overall, it’s helped us streamline workflows and stay organized, especially as our user count has grown.
