Google's support is a little worse, owing primarily to the fact that there is none, but Google's software has fewer headaches. And after about 8 months on Office 365 I can tell you that the most common useful help I get from MS support is along the lines of "you're right, you can't do that in Office 365, you can stop futilely searching now."
Here is a fun thing with Office365. Let's say you want not just to edit a document concurrently, but to see everybody's changes. It doesn't work right in Word online:

I was pretty shocked to learn this. Although it seems calculated to cause you to buy a premium license, so I suppose I shouldn't be.

From what we were able to tell you couldn't/can't simultaneously edit a Word doc in 365. But it's also possible that it's more complicated than we expected, I guess. Or that the feature's since been added.

Google doesn't really have human support, for pretty much anything.
We chose them, having heard terrible things about Google's support (or rather, lack of it). Having experienced Microsoft's support, we are now surprisingly close to switching to Google on the basis that it can't possibly be worse.
