We are small dev shop - Google suite is cheaper, is good enough and has good integration with paid Gmail.

I pay $15/mo per user for full Office, Exchange, Microsoft Teams/Skype and very decent support.

GSuite is $10/user and offers similar products, but you have to pretty much support yourself.

The $20 extra a month I pay for my small team is negligible.

The company I work for pays even less per person than I do, with the enterprise licensing and the MS cash that gets thrown at us for integrating with them. Our first year of 365 is basically free, same with our switch from our data center to the cloud.

We are looking to save millions a month by making this move.

I pay 3.34 EUR/per user per month. I use Gmail in my company domain - which is IMHO superior to outlook because of tags, which are more expressive than outlook folders. I use apps (some of them not available on Office365 at all - like forms/surveys, websites), calendar synced with mobile, google drive and group conference in hangouts with screen sharing (not working in Office365 in skype on linux - no good app for that)

Since use mostly linux - desktop version of Office365 is useless for me.

To sum it up: one third Office price - no functionality lose for me and some functions not available in Office at all.
