It may seem scary at first but don’t worry we will be there to support and guide you each step of the way. You might already be using the applications offered by Microsoft, such as Outlook (email, contacts, and calendar), Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, or their equivalent offered by Google - Gmail, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, etc.
Advantages of using Google Workspace / g suite
Google Workspace (G Suite) offers a 99.9% SLA but usually exceeds it.
The Admin console for Google Workspace / G Suite allows you to manage everything from one place- from adding new users and groups, configuring security settings (2-factor authentication), adding new custom domains, to enabling features such as Inbox by Google for your employees.
Google Workspace / G Suite is built on Google Cloud Platform that boasts the highest security on the market.
Google Workspace / G Suite provides email encryption in transit.
Gmail offers better integration with third party apps.
Most of your employees are probably already using Gmail and many of the other tools such as Google Drive, Calendar, and Keep. So the time taken to learn will be much less. All things considered, Google Workspace / G Suite offers a one stop shop for email hosting, storage, and file collaboration that is perfect for any modern day business.

Advantages of Microsoft Office 365
As Microsoft 365 / Office 365 is integrated with Microsoft Office, it offers greater functionalities across all of the commonly used applications.
It offers robust security, compliance, administration functionalities as well as integration with other services.
Microsoft 365 / Office 365 offers handy collaboration capabilities with tools like Microsoft Teams, Groups, Yammer, Delve, Planner, and Power BI.
It also comes along with advanced virus protection, rights management, and performance monitoring tools.
Microsoft 365 / Office 365 is a natural fit for businesses that mostly use Windows-based systems.
While Google Workspace is designed as an exclusively cloud based suite of tools, Microsoft 365 offers the desktop version of their products that are a temptation for many business users. The desktop version of tools such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. are feature packed and the corresponding ones offered by Google Workspace appear pretty basic in comparison. Despite the availability of cloud, many businesses prefer to create, edit and share files locally, which makes having desktop applications necessary and hence Microsoft 365 becomes the default.
