Google Workspace Premier Partner (Service / Co-Sell) Yoshidumi Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Harumichi Akita, hereinafter "Yoshidumi Information") has released a white paper titled "Comparative Survey on Utilization Status and Productivity," which analyzed companies using Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 from among 537 responses.
*The figures in this report are based on the "Survey on IT Utilization Status" conducted by Yoshidumi Information in 2025 and related analytical data.
■ Background of the Survey Report Release
In corporate DX, collaboration tools are not just means of communication but the foundation that determines organizational culture and productivity. However, many selection processes tend to focus solely on "feature availability (checklists)" and "cost." Yoshidumi Information conducted this survey believing that "user reality (UX)" and "impact on organizational culture," which are not visible from catalog specifications, are crucial. This report aims to serve as a "compass" for management and IT leaders to make strategic investment decisions aligned with their desired organizational image.
■ Survey Result Highlights
This survey revealed that while Microsoft 365 has strengths in "stability and governance" of existing processes, Google Workspace contributes to team "speed and transformation."
Document Creation Productivity: Approximately 27.5% difference in productivity. Weekly hours spent on document creation for Microsoft 365 adoption companies were 189 minutes, while for Google Workspace adoption companies, it was 137 minutes, a result 52 minutes shorter. This is thought to be influenced by the penetration of Google Workspace's "simultaneous editing feature (real-time collaboration)" in shortening lead times.
Perceived Effectiveness of Generative AI Shows an 18% Gap: Among companies that have adopted generative AI, the percentage of respondents who answered "it is effective" reached 73% for Google Gemini users, compared to 55% for Microsoft 365 Copilot users. This suggests a tendency for higher effectiveness to be realized more readily through the linkage of Google Workspace's high-performance search foundation with AI.
Correlation with Organizational Culture: Positive scores were higher in items such as "challenging new things" and "tolerance for failure" among Google Workspace adoption companies. The open environment of the tool and the co-editing process are thought to foster organizational psychological safety and a culture that encourages taking on challenges.
(Below: Excerpt from Survey Report Sample)
*The comparison targets in this survey are 301 companies using Microsoft 365, 47 companies using Google Workspace, and 17 companies using mixed usage. Due to the discrepancy in sample numbers, this result is presented as a reference indicator (trend value).
