Google Chat offers reliable team communication

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Google Chat from other similar products?

What sets Google Chat apart is its seamless integration within the Google Workspace ecosystem, offering smooth collaboration with Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, and Meet—making it especially convenient for teams already using Google’s tools.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Google Chat is its seamless integration with Google Workspace apps, which makes collaboration smooth and efficient without needing to switch between multiple tools.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about Google Chat is that it doesn’t have native screen sharing—users have to switch to Google Meet for this feature, which interrupts the flow of collaboration.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I’d recommend Google Chat for teams already using Google Workspace who want smooth, integrated communication; however, if you need advanced task management or built-in screen sharing, you might want to consider additional tools alongside it.
