Google apps are far better office suite then cloud based Microsoft 365 for businesses based in Dubai and UAE. Below you can read some of the distinguishing features which will help you understand the worth of top-notch Google Apps. 2 Factor authentication Google supports 2-factor authentication (2FA) for its web-based products. Two-factor authentication is a very important security feature that is included by default in Google Apps Whereas Office 365 requires the purchase of ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services), which comes with additional technical complexity and cost. 2FA is not supported for desktop (rich) clients, unless the client machine is joined to domain. Admin Audit Logs Google Apps has immutable admin audit logs. Any change made in the admin console is logged. Logs are available through the Google's APIs. Office365 has a capability to log audit events in an Office 365 mailbox but this option is not enabled by default. In addition to this, it is possible to destroy the audit logs as long as the user has sufficient privileges, making it possible for an attacker to cover their tracks by simply deleting the events. Full utility Google Apps has the same superior features at a simple price, including access to highly popular mobiles apps, file sharing (using Google Drive), web conferencing (using Google Hangouts), and free websites including a public website (using Google Sites. The "lowest" plan for Office 365 doesn't have these features. If you want all of the mentioned features, you need to upgrade to the highest plan, which bundles software that you may not need (such as desktop versions of the software).
