The Limitations of Google Workspace

Why organizations are leaving Google Workspace

From the Cloud Act to Gemini AI training, and reliance on a Google account: discover how Wimi addresses each limitation of Google Workspace.

Your strategic data accessible to US agencies

The CLOUD Act and Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act can compel Google to disclose your collaborative data to US authorities, even if hosted in Europe. This creates a conflict with Article 48 of the GDPR. Wimi hosts 100% of your data in France, outside of extraterritorial US jurisdiction.

Your content processed by Google's AI services

Gemini for Workspace processes your documents, emails, and conversations to provide its AI features, and Google remains under US jurisdiction. Wimi does not incorporate any general-purpose AI models that would exploit your collaborative content. Your strategic information remains within a sovereign infrastructure.

A prime target for cyberattacks

Over 3 billion Workspace users are a prime target for attackers. Recent vulnerabilities (authentication bypass 2024, OAuth intrusions 2026) show that a flaw can propagate chain-reaction style via third-party integrations. Wimi shares less, applies ANSSI's SecNumCloud qualification, and isolates each client tenant.

A critical dependency on Google accounts

Google accounts unify personal and professional identities by default. Wimi restores full control over identities and access for your strategic projects, whether you're replacing Google Workspace or using it as a complement. Your sensitive data resides in a sovereign infrastructure, separate from your collaborators' personal accounts.

1
Mapping your Google Workspace tenant

Inventory of your Google ecosystem before migration

  • Gmail, personal Drive, and Shared Drive volume per user
  • Mapping Workspace accounts, OUs, and Admin Console rights
  • Inventory of Marketplace extensions, Apps Script scripts, and automations
  • Identifying critical dependencies (Looker Studio, Sites, Forms, shared calendars)
2
Secure retrieval from Google

Complete transfer via Google API and supervised Takeout

We extract all your Gmail, Drive (including Docs, Sheets, and Slides converted to Onlyoffice formats), Calendar, and contacts via official Google APIs. Shared Drive permissions and sharing structures are replicated identically in Wimi, without disruption to existing rights.

Role-based onboarding and training

Your Google habits, now Wimi reflexes

Live workshops and dedicated role-based tutorials (administrator, manager, collaborator). Our trainers leverage your teams' existing Google Workspace usage to demonstrate each Wimi equivalent. Effective adoption is observed within three to five days.

Transition

Go-live with six weeks of enhanced support

The transition is carried out according to the validated scenario: progressive by department or all at once, depending on your business constraints. During the first six weeks, hypercare support responds in less than two hours, and a dedicated Wimi contact coordinates operational adjustments.

"Au CD87, Wimi a été adopté pour sa souveraineté, son coût maîtrisé et sa richesse fonctionnelle. Son ergonomie, son déploiement SaaS sans additif et l’intégration d’Onlyoffice dans Wimi Online, ont permis d’abandonner Microsoft Office et de favoriser la coédition pour tous nos agents. La visio, le chat et la gestion de projets intégrés rendent les services autonomes et efficaces. Une solution simple, soutenue par un accompagnement commercial de proximité, que nous recommandons sans hésiter aux collectivités."

FAQ

Your questions about migrating from Google Workspace

How long does migration from Google Workspace take?

On average, between 4 and 8 weeks, depending on the data volume and the complexity of your Google Workspace tenant.

The timeline is broken down as follows:

  • Audit Phase : 1 to 2 weeks (analyzing Drive, Gmail, accounts, Marketplace integrations)
  • Technical Migration : 1 to 3 weeks (extraction via Google API and Takeout)
  • Training and Switchover : 1 to 3 weeks

For organizations with more than 50 users, migration is included in your Wimi subscription. Discover our method for complete migration.

Will I lose my emails and Drive files during the migration?

No, no data loss. Our recovery process ensures the complete transfer of:

  • your Gmail emails with folders, labels, and filtering rules
  • your Drive files personal and Shared Drives, including structure and permissions
  • your Google Calendar calendars (events, invitations, shared calendars)
  • your Google Contacts

You validate each step before the final migration and retain read-only access to Google Workspace during the hypercare period.

Can I keep my current email addresses?

Yes, your addresses are fully preserved. Wimi handles the migration of your domain name and the configuration of records MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC.

Your contacts continue to write to you at the same addresses, without interruption or redirection. No visible change for your partners and clients.

How do you manage compatibility with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides? Answer:

Wimi integrates Onlyoffice, which natively edits Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides formats, as well as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

In practice:

  • your Google Docs are converted to ODT/DOCX, editable with real-time co-editing
  • your Google Sheets retain formulas, pivot tables, and conditional formatting
  • your Google Slides remain editable with animations and transitions

Your team will quickly get up to speed. Learn more about Wimi Drive and co-editing.

Is Wimi really as comprehensive as Google Workspace?

Yes, across all critical collaborative uses of an organization.

Wimi natively covers:

  • Messaging (Wimi Inbox & Mail)
  • Storage and co-editing (Wimi Drive with Onlyoffice)
  • Video conferencing (Wimi AirTime)
  • Project spaces, tasks, and Gantt (Workboard)
  • Team chat and shared calendar
  • E-signature (Wimi Sign)

Only a few ancillary Google tools (Sites, Forms, Looker Studio) do not have a direct equivalent. For these cases, our team will guide you towards sovereign alternatives.

Is my Wimi data used to train AI?

No, never. Wimi commits contractually to never use your content, whether public or private, to train an artificial intelligence model, whether internal or external.

Specifically:

  • your documents, emails, and conversations never leave the French infrastructure
  • no API is open to third-party LLMs (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral)
  • your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, hosted in France and SecNumCloud certified

To learn more, see our commitment to digital sovereignty.

What is the cost compared to Google Workspace?

Transparent and predictable pricing. For a scope equivalent to Google Workspace Business Standard, Wimi offers a comparable commercial offering, without surprise billing for external guests.

With Wimi, you can invite an unlimited number of external collaborators to your workspaces, without them needing a third-party account. With Google Workspace, external collaboration requires the guest's Google account (free or paid)
