Does anyone use paid GSuite for anything other than docs/drive/Gmail ? In all companies I've worked at, we've used GSuite exclusively for those, and used slack/discord for chat, and zoom/discord for video/meetings.

I know that MS Teams is a more full-featured product suite, but even at companies that used it, we still used Zoom for meetings.

My company uses Meet. It works great! I like it more than Zoom.

It's a lot better than it used to be. In 2020, universities that already had GSuite (which includes Meet) still paid to put their classes on Zoom. Personally I like Zoom more today, mostly because even my high-end laptop can struggle with Meet.

I like meet too, but the inability to send messages to breakout rooms is quite annoying.

zoom is horrible. Meet works for me.

Counterpoint: I take probably 3/4 of my meetings on Zoom and 1/4 on meet. So on any given day I'm probably doing at least 1 on meet. If I look back on any day at all the meetings with unaceptable audio lag or very degraded video quality? They are always all "meet". It is just hands-down worse when networks are unreliable.

In addition meet insists I click on the same about 4 or 5 different "Got it" feature popups every single call, and every call also insists on asking me if I want to use Duet AI to make my background look shit which just adds to annoyance.

GSuite for calendar makes sense too. Chat sucks, and Meet would be decent if it weren't so laggy, but those are two things you can easily not use.
