Patronum has been a blessing for our Google Workspace account management

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: The entire experience from pre sale, demo, to deployment was extremely smooth and well done.

Pros:

The ability to centrally manage so many components of our users lifecycle. Using the google admin panel is not user friendly and very unorganized. Patronum has basically replaced the need for our Admins to use google admin panel and use patronum as our employee access management tool. It has everything built into the platform, including signature management, contact sharing, file permission, etc..

Cons:

Some of the limits API limitations are more on the google side.

great product with exceptional support

5.0 last year

Comments: This is a great product helping us to avoid using GAM and have an easy-to-use interface to manage contact sharing, signatures, email delegation, Google Drive, offboarding and other automation policies.

Pros:

Patronum does contact sharing which has been phased out by other competitors since Google moved on to people API. I love the support they offer and the fact that they take into consideration every feedback/request we might have.

Cons:

sometimes policies don't sync correctly but that's due to Google's API limitations and has been explained by Patronum in detail so we can understand what happens under the hood

Patronum for Google Workspace

5.0 last month New

Comments: Great and would recommend it if you want to automatize tasks in the Google Workspace environment.

Pros:

The possibilty of automating repetitive tasks, user onboarding, offboarding, and policy enforcements, helping us save time and improve efficiency.

Cons:

While the basic setup is straightforward and super easy, leveraging some of the more advanced features might require additional training or time investment.

Bespin Labs Response

last month

Thanks for the review Enaitz, the Patronum team is always happy to provide additional training if you require. We also have many videos on our YouTube channel - https://youtube.com/@wearepatronum

Honest Review

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Enough tool to manage org but not more of auditing purposes.

Pros:

We were primarily interested in Patronum for its excellent integration with Google and the signature manager. This has made it so much easier for us to create a consistent look and feel for our google signatures. For the same price as most products that only manage signatures, this does so much more. From on and off boarding policies to managing users and seeing your companies org chart, this product is fantastic. If you have google workspace and are looking to manage users and to have the best Google signature manager out there, get this.

Cons:

It's not designed in a way that we can easily extract the detailed report of compliance which is not readily available in the GWS console.

Excellent Value, Simple to Use, Great Features

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I met with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] personally and he helped me understand the ins and outs of Patronum. Having the ability to use the product under a very long trial period was helpful in allowing us to explore the features and settings for ourselves. The customer service is impeccable, with almost no wait for a response. The user experience is the best I've seen among many similar products.

Pros:

Patronum is straight forward and easy to use. Even for just simple signature management, it is far beyond other products in ease, clarity, and customization. Although we have not yet used Patronum to its full potential, we can't wait to use it to help create more efficient and automated processes in our business.

Cons:

I cannot think of any criticisms for Patronum. Some of the features we want are just not available to API based products. Maybe one day Patronum's team will figure out how to break through those barriers, but until then, we are happy with what we have.

Best tool for any Google Workspace admin

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: It is a time saver and if you rely on contacts in your company this is the tool to set it up. Share your labels and set rules for your users what they can do and don’t. This tool saved me a lot of time.

Pros:

If you need to onboard, offboard new employees this tools will help you to manage that task easily. If you need to set up contact sharing as well, this is THE tool. I can highly recommend this tool.

Cons:

I didn’t come across any negative issues with it.

New standard in Google Workspace tools.

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: We've joined during beta when product was still free and we've been looking for a good tool to manage signatures.
Since then we moved to paid plan we added off-boarding and automated group membership to handle SAML, target audiences and general group presence.
There is a lot of features we are looking to implement when we have some time.

Pros:

It's only tool that will sync all of the employee data including new, custom fields. This alone opens vast array of possibilities that other companies seems to ignore. Simplest example is storing user's gender pronoun and then using it in signature.

Cons:

Currently priority is on new features and implementing user's feedback so in some cases manuals seem to take back seat. Interface is simple but some things aren't clear without checking with support.

Thanks goodness for Patronum!

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: The Patronum team are absolutely committed to creating an amazing product that will help those managing their Google Workspace. The system is rich with functionality and the user support is always very responsive. This really is the first choice for those wanting less headaches.

Advanced Google Workspace management and automation

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: We have been very happy with the product and use it across multiple clients that we fully manage.

Pros:

Our favorite feature is how you can automate many tasks within Google Workspace such as email signature templates and onboarding / off boarding workflows. It also exposes several API only admin features of Google Workspace that are extremely useful.

Cons:

It’s a young product so some features are still a little rough around the edges but it has performed very well for us most of the time.

Excellent

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Love Patronum, the user interface is a pleasure to use, feels like a native Google app, and it's functionality is super useful. Being able to browser my users Google Drives and Shared Drives is fantastic and really helps when we have people on leave. We also make maximum use of the onboarding features especially the email signatures, and creating Google Docs for new employees to complete upon their first day. Working with the team at Patronum is also amazing, they are extremely responsive and help us with even the smallest of questions. Having the chat directly in the interface makes that process really easy. We can't recommend them enough.

Pros:

Integration was very easy, simple and easy to use

Cons:

As far as I am concerned there are no extras that we require

Patronum takes the admin out of Workspace Admin

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

The Policies section makes it so simple to set up onboarding, offboarding and signature policies. I've used a number of Admin tools and this is the easiest and most user-friendly interface that I have found. The People section makes it very easy to manage all aspects of your users, including the files in their Drive. We have found this tool invaluable since installing it.

Cons:

There could be improvements on the Drive Management side but the Patronum team are open to new ideas so I am confident this product will continue to improve.
