[Trainer-Talk] MS 365 vs. Google Workspace Recommendations

[Chris Fendrick]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently launching a small business and trying to decide between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace to host my core business content. I'd really appreciate your thoughts or recommendations on selecting one or the other.

For context, I'm running Windows 11 on a Lenovo PC, iOS on mobile, and using Fusion 2026 as my screen reader.

Microsoft feels like the standard choice given my familiarity with it and its smooth integration with Fusion. At the same time, I really appreciate how uncluttered Google Workspace feels. I'd love to hear from anyone who has navigated the screen reader workflow on either-or both-of these platforms.

I am specifically concerned about ease of use with K-12 educators, parents and that community.  It is also important for me to provide secure cyber security.

Thanks so much for any advice or resources you can share!

Best,
Chris
