Ask HN: Do you / your company avoid Google products?

1 points by develatio 3y ago ↗ HN

Google has sunset a very long list of products[1], some of them (arguably) for no good reason. And every time a product is killed, a migration process to an equivalent product must take place, which means man-hour/money investment.

In order to avoid having to invest in migrations, do you / your company refrain from using Google products? Do you have heard of people / companies having such policies?

I don't know if we have any policy against google, but I don't know a single google product the company I work for uses.

It's all office365 / Exchange.

Hard to imagine that Google will sunset Google Docs and Workspace, so we are using them. The only google service which we decided not to use anymore is Google Analytics, simply because it became too complex and unintuitive, we migrated to Plausible.

I've never even heard about most of the things listed on the website.
