Google Sites versus Sharepoint

March 3, 2008 · Filed Under Google 

Google Sites, after Gmail, is the strongest part of the Google Apps solution. On a feature by feature comparison, Google docs and spreadsheets pale in comparison to Microsoft Word and Excel (although the simplicity can be a benefit for some organizations). Google Sites, however, looks like it will be able to stand it’s ground against Sharepoint, at least from a user or business perspective. While some of the back-end developer pieces are missing, the features that business users are really interested in are all there. It is this piece of the Google Apps suite that will make it a serious competitor for Microsoft’s corporate customers. The proof is Microsoft’s announcement of a new line of managed services, a business which they are no longer leaving exclusively to their partners.
