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.

"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

What are the best French alternatives to Notion in 2026?

Wimi is one of the leading French alternatives to Notion in 2026. Developed in France since 2010, Wimi offers a comprehensive collaborative suite designed for SMEs and mid-market companies:

  • Workspaces partitioned by project
  • Workboard for task management (Kanban, Gantt)
  • Docs in standard formats (DOCX, XLSX, PDF) via OnlyOffice
  • Chat, AirTime, and Mail natively integrated
  • eIDAS electronic signature built-in

Wimi is SecNumCloud SaaS 3.2 qualified by ANSSI, hosted in France by providers who are themselves SecNumCloud qualified. Discover all features.

Is Wimi as flexible as Notion for building custom workspaces?

Wimi prioritizes ready-to-use structure over extreme flexibility. Wimi Workspaces are operational immediately, with no need for advanced configuration or technical skills.

What teams gain from this approach:

  • Rapid adoption across all profiles, including non-tech users
  • Near-zero maintenance over time
  • Clear structure for new arrivals
  • No dependency on an internal expert to navigate

The trade-off: extreme customization of every block is not Wimi's focus. This approach meets the needs of SMEs and mid-market companies that are looking primarily for a productive and widely adopted tool, rather than a platform they have to build from scratch.

How do I migrate a Notion workspace to Wimi?

The migration follows 4 structured steps over 4 to 8 weeks:

  1. Mapping your Notion workspaces : audit of Team Spaces, permissions, integrations, and databases (1 to 2 weeks)
  2. Secure retrieval via the official Notion API: pages, databases, files, and permissions (1 to 3 weeks)
  3. Onboarding and training by profile (administrator, project manager, contributor) in 3 to 5 days
  4. Switchover gradual or all at once, with 6 weeks of hypercare and a dedicated Wimi contact

Your content, permissions, and integrations are fully preserved. Read-only access to Notion is maintained throughout the hypercare phase. Discuss my migration.

Can complex relational databases be migrated from Notion?

Yes. Each Notion database is analyzed with you to identify the best Wimi equivalent based on actual usage:

  • Kanban / Gantt databases → converted into projects Wimi Workboard with native dependencies
  • Static tables → converted into Wimi Docs tables
  • Mixed databases → combination of Workboard + Docs based on business logic
  • Formulas, rollups, and relations → converted manually when necessary, with business validation before the switch

This phase is included in the migration service. We often take this opportunity to streamline databases that had become over-complicated over the months.

How does Wimi's pricing compare to Notion's?

Wimi offers a single, predictable subscription that includes the entire suite: Spaces, Workboard, Docs, Chat, AirTime, Mail, and Sign.

For comparison, Notion offers a tiered pricing structure :

  • Additional add-ons as needed

Is my Wimi data used to train AI?

No, never. Wimi makes an explicit contractual commitment :

  • No content (pages, documents, discussions, files) is used to train any model
  • No open APIs to third-party LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, etc.)
  • Encryption at rest and in transit across the entire platform
  • 100% hosted in France with SecNumCloud-qualified providers
  • SecNumCloud SaaS 3.2 qualification issued by ANSSI in May 2026

This commitment is included in our terms and conditions and can be verified by an independent audit upon request. Learn more about Wimi's sovereignty.

Is Wimi GDPR compliant and hosted in France?

Yes, on both counts. Wimi is a French software provider whose servers are all hosted in France.

Certifications and qualifications held :

Native GDPR compliance :

  • Encryption at rest and in transit
  • Processing registers
  • Access and deletion rights management
  • Appointed DPO
  • Incident notification within 72 hours

Hosting is provided by SecNumCloud-qualified providers (Opcore, Outscale), ensuringimmunity from extraterritorial regulations (CLOUD Act, FISA §702).

What happens to my Notion integrations (Zapier, Slack, GitHub) after the migration?

Critical integrations are identified during the audit phase and recreated in Wimi using its native connectors or open API.

Native Wimi integrations :

  • Office tools : Outlook, Teams, Google Workspace
  • Automation : Zapier, Make (formerly Integromat)
  • Dev : GitHub, GitLab
  • Communication : Slack, Microsoft Teams (interop)
  • Storage : Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox
  • E-signature : Universign, DocuSign (via native Wimi Sign)

Notion-specific integrations (proprietary embeds, external database sync) are handled on a case-by-case basis during migration. No blockers have been identified to date for the most common integrations.

Can you keep Notion's "everything is a page" approach with Wimi?

Wimi favors a project-based workspace structure rather than nested free-form pages. This approach offers two concrete benefits:

  • Immediate clarity from the moment you start: every workspace follows a predictable hierarchy (documents, tasks, discussions, calendar)
  • Long-term findability : no more proliferation of orphaned pages as time goes on

Teams that heavily relied on Notion's "free-form page" mode often discover that an explicit structure improves long-term collaboration, especially when new members join the project or when multiple teams need to share the same environment.

For true "free-form wiki" use cases (knowledge bases, open product documentation), Wimi Docs allows you to create structured documents with tables of contents and dynamic summaries.
