I'm tired of Google's business products

While working for other companies, I never really had a problem with their services. In fact, Google remains one of my favorite companies of all time for solving the search problem (their search engine is still the best, sorry haters).

However, over the past few months, I have STRUGGLED against the tide to use their other services. My Google ads account is currently suspended for reasons I cannot fathom. My Google Sheets spreadsheet is currently frozen (the reason I'm ranting right now). Their administrative setting pages feel like going to the DMV from the amount of options on screen. Last but not least, their support is almost nonexistent.

Am I alone in this? Is this a problem of my own making, by using Safari instead of Chrome, and not configuring my services properly? Or is this a feeling that others get?

Conclusion: I hope Google gets some real competition soon because it feels like they are falling off.

Edit: Shameless plug, my company peddles a data movement tool called SQLpipe. https://sqlpipe.com

Using Google apps for anything other than advertising is like going to a medical doctor for a toothache. You might receive something that temporarily eases the pain but the root problem remains largely unsolved.

In any case, Google has plenty of competition in the areas you're talking about. Try the Office suite + Microsoft Ads.

I think we will see more competitors in this space though. Google isn’t investing enough into it and there is opportunity.
