G Suite (formerly Google Apps for Work) is an all-in-one suite that combines all of the familiar productivity and collaboration tools by Google and puts them under one roof. The list of available apps comprise of Calendar, Drive, Gmail, Google Hangouts, Google+, and Sites, along with Google Docs, Sheets, Forms, Slides and Google Vault. The great thing about G Suite is that you have full control over all these apps via the Google Admin Console.
The Google Admin Console lets you add users, manage devices and configure security settings for your data. You can set up groups, add verification steps and employ single sign on (SSO) all from within a single console. This is a solid security feature that includes mobile device management by allowing you to enforce BYOD security policies on iOS and Android devices. With Google Vault you are able to undertake all kinds of administrative tasks, including archiving data, and searching and exporting your company's email/on-the-record chats for reporting and auditing purposes.
Team DriveThe new Team Drive feature lets organizations set up groups that own files inside Google Drive. This is a change from the previous design, which required every document to have a single person own it. The change is really important for organizations that want to manage files more easily, as people tend to move across teams. The new design means that teams can have their own folder inside Drive, and are able to own all of the files inside it.
