Optiable helps firms migrate to both of these products so we have no dog in the fight. The cost is pretty much the same for each service so we use the following questions to find the best fit for our clients.
Feature |
Office 365 |
Google Apps |
You use Outlook 2011 on your Mac | ||
You hate Outlook | ||
You like Gmail | ||
You use Amicus Attorney* | ||
You use Clio* | ||
You use NetDocuments* | ||
You use the Microsoft Office Suite | ||
You use Sane Mail or Mailbox |
*In this case, we are going by what is our best experience. For example, we have clients that have Clio and Microsoft 365. So it works, but Clio has direct integration with Google Apps, so we find the experience better. The same thing could be said about Amicus. It has direct integration with Office 365 but can be used with Google Apps. We just think Office 365 offers a better experience.
