Pros & Cons
Gemini Enterprise
Pros
- Permission-aware search across connected company apps, with grounding in Google Search and the web
- Strong security controls on the higher editions: CMEK, VPC Service Controls, US or EU data residency, Access Transparency and Cloud Audit Logs
- Google states that enterprise prompts and data are not used to train its foundation models
- Standard and Plus scale without seat caps and include an Agent Marketplace and a no-code agent builder
- Tight fit with Google Workspace, which G2 reviewers praised
Cons
- Business edition has only selected connectors and no agent builder or marketplace
- Several prices, including Plus and Frontline, are not published by Google
- Usage beyond quotas, partner models and developer tools are billed separately, so costs are hard to predict
- Memory is per user, and Google's docs say source changes can take up to 24 hours to take effect
- G2 has only a small number of reviews, and one reviewer said memory seemed shorter after an update
Google Gemini
Pros
- Many API models have a free tier, and Flash-Lite models cost from $0.10 to $0.30 per million input tokens.
- It is built into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet and Drive for Workspace customers, starting with the €6.80 Starter plan.
- The Standard edition adds VPC Service Controls, customer-managed encryption keys and data-residency controls.
- The self-serve Business edition includes connectors to Microsoft 365, HubSpot and Jira as well as Google tools.
Cons
- Licensing is fragmented across Gemini Enterprise, Workspace, consumer AI plans and the API, and Plus has no public price.
- Users report unclear usage limits and silent downgrades from Pro to lighter models.
- Several API prices are scheduled to double in December 2026 and January 2027.
- Reviewers say third-party connectors to Salesforce, SAP and ServiceNow are less mature than Microsoft Copilot's.
