You\u2019ll be dealing with Google\u2019s own team, paying their subscription fee and managing your account independently.<\/p>\n<p>With this option, you get all the necessary tools, but nothing extra.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the differences between direct and reseller?<\/h2>\n<p>When you buy Google Workspace directly, you get the basic software and support from Google.<\/p>\n<p>However, a Google Workspace reseller offers the same core features but with extra perks like technical support, help with migration, bundled services, flexible payment options, and usually better prices.<\/p>\n<p>So, the best choice depends on your business: if you need a tech-savvy partner and custom solutions, a reseller is the way to go.<\/p>\n<p>But if your needs are straightforward and you have your own in-house tech expertise, buying directly is likely the best option.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>\n<h5><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<h5><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h5><strong>Google reseller<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<h5>Extra support<\/h5>\n<h5>Integration with other services<\/h5>\n<h5>Flexible billing<\/h5>\n<h5>Potential discounts<\/h5>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<h5>Working with a third party<\/h5>\n<h5>Less control over billing support and admin changes<\/h5>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h5><strong>Google directly<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<h5>No third party<\/h5>\n<h5>Simple setup<\/h5>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<h5>Limited personalised support<\/h5>\n<h5>No service bundles<\/h5>\n<h5>Rigid billing<\/h5>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A final thought<\/h2>\n<p>The decision is entirely dependent on your business\u2019s needs and what you want to achieve with Google Workspace.<\/p>\n<p>If you already have in-house expertise and you prefer a more straightforward set-up, then going directly to Google may be the best option for you.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you would like personalised support, flexible billing, and an expert who can tailor to your needs and goals, then a\u00a0reseller like CloudTech24 is likely the better option.<\/p>\n<p>Consider factors such as your budget and technical expertise, and you\u2019ll quickly determine the choice that is best for you and your team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should businesses get Google Workspace straight from Google or through a reseller?
