In our view the real difference between these product suites is intent. G Suite and all of Google's apps were designed with collaboration in mind, whereas Microsoft added collaboration functionality after the fact. As a result, Google's products work perfectly as a collaboration platform for business or personal use, and Microsoft's collaboration features work, but aren't as smooth and intuitive. G Suite Basic edition is a suite of collaborative productivity apps that offers your business professional email, shared calendars, online document editing and storage, video meetings, and much more. This is where you can manage all of the G Suite services for your business, including mobile device management, data migration, setting password requirements, and much more.
