Google Suites will provide you with a dashboard to help you manage lots of things in one place.
Connecting emails with task management software, Customer Relationship Management software, and documents/spreadsheets/slideshows and forms.
For example when you receive an email in Gmail you can share that email into a task management software like Asana and automatically create a task for it.
It's also helpful if you have a team of people and want to provide them with their own email addresses at your business domain.
Google's free version of Drive, Gmail etc doesn't provide a dashboard but in Chrome you can use the square pattern in the top right corner of a new tab, or when using one of the programs.
You won't have the same ease of integration between programs or a cohesive team site for emails etc.
Other Cons
The real issue comes when you don't like using Gmail or if you're a business that manages email addresses for other businesses like a VA. It's really only designed to manage just your business.
If you don't like using Google's Doc and Spreadsheet programs, then neither of these are for you and you may want to consider Microsoft Office or 365. Google's products are more 'done-for-you' options and Microsoft are more customisable with advanced use.
Bonus tip
Google also has a program that is often recommended for organising your business processes called Google Sites. Google Sites is actually free on it's own, you don't need Google Suite to use it. It's basically a website that you can make private to certain people, so you have the ease of links, images, documents in the one organised area which others can edit.
