Ask HN: Google Workspace Alternatives for Startups

7 points by himanshuy 2 years ago | 6 comments

Hi, What would you recommend Google Workspace alternative for startups?

I have setup my account and having a terrible experience with it.

I am literally on the verge of losing my first customer because of inefficiency of Google Workspace.

I’m sorry you are struggling with Workspaces. If you don’t mind me asking, what seems to be the problem?

I’m a former workspace admin and still manage a personal account for my domain. I’d love to offer any advice if you’re welcome to it.

What features are you looking for? Just an online office suite?

Office 365 and Zoho are two others.

That'd be nice, if there was one that had a gsheets and gdocs and gmail alternative that had as good or better UX to google's versions too, I'd give it a go.

Zoho is a pretty good option from a cost perspective. But user experience is not as good as Workspace imo.

What about Google workspace is costing you clients?

NextCloud or OwnCloud might be worth looking into.
