You can work on the same document with your team at the same time, leave comments, suggest edits, and see changes as they happen. It also now comes with built-in AI features that can help you write, edit, and improve your work. It’s simple, practical, and makes collaboration much smoother. > > **Cons**: When exporting to Word or other formats, formatting can sometimes shift. For complex layouts, heavy design work, or advanced formatting, it can feel a bit restrictive. > > my overall experience is quite good some lag with big files and limited formatting, but overall I’d recommend it to others. ----- ### "Better than Word" — 5.0/5 > **Blair** | *26 February 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Docs has helped my startup business create professional documents without the significant overheads experienced from other word document providers. The ability to securely share or lockdown documents is paramount to confidentiality in my business. > > **Cons**: At times Google Docs can feel a bit on the basic side where may not have the same level of functionality you’d get from Microsoft Word > > I am really happy with Google Docs. It is now my number one word document program for all my document needs. ----- ### "Great for everyday document collaboration" — 3.0/5 > **Brad** | *23 December 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Real time collaboration is the biggest advantage. Multiple people can work in the same document at once without version control issues. Sharing and permissions are straightforward, and changes save automatically, which removes the risk of losing work. It is easy to access from any device and integrates well with other Google tools. > > **Cons**: Advanced formatting and layout options are limited compared to traditional desktop word processors. Large or complex documents can sometimes feel slower to navigate. Offline functionality exists but is not always as reliable as working fully online. > > Overall, my experience with Google Docs has been very positive. It is reliable for everyday document creation and especially strong for collaboration. The ability to work in real time with others, share files easily, and access documents from anywhere makes it practical for both individual and team use. While it lacks some advanced formatting features found in desktop word processors, it more than makes up for it with simplicity, accessibility, and ease of use. ----- ### "Why I wrote my PhD Dissertation using Google Docs" — 5.0/5 > **La Wanda** | *22 January 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've always been intimidated by Word's features, and Google Docs narrows it down to what I need to write. My favorite feature is the tabs. The tabs helped me write my PhD dissertation with organization and ease, allowing me to click on the different sections and chapters without getting lost in a super-long document. It saved me time by letting me jump quickly from my Literature Review to my Methodology section without having to scroll through 20+ pages to get there. I also appreciated not having to worry about losing my work if the battery died on my laptop, since it auto-saved to the cloud, and I could access my dissertation from different devices and locations. Whether I was at home on my desktop or traveling with my laptop, I could access my work anytime, anywhere. > > **Cons**: Well, if I had to nitpick, it would be that Google Docs doesn't have an internal citation management system. I had to add a plug-in, Paperpile, to cite sources efficiently, but sometimes the add-on would glitch and not work properly, though I'm not sure if it was the add-on or Google Docs. > > Overall, my experience with Google Docs was great because it allowed me to write my dissertation utilizing the tabs feature. ----- ### "Google Docs easy to use and share\!" — 5.0/5 > **Lorelei** | *23 March 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, and it makes sharing documents with my team so easy. It is our "one-source-of-truth" for updates and revisions. > > **Cons**: Formatting issues in Microsoft Word documents do not always transfer well, so I have to recreate documents in Google Docs. > > Overall, my experience has been great, most teams have access to Google Docs, which makes it easy to share. ----- Page: 1 / 1153\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/91392/google-docs?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/91392/google-docs) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
