Are you talking about E1 plan or the one with desktop apps?
Our company got burned with the webapp nonsense pretty bad. We first tried Google docs which were woefully inadequate and buggy and slow, then we switched to the office webapps, which were no better until we finally returned to using desktop apps, and using a local IT service to stick a file server with raid and daily backups.
I can never understand how people tolerate webapps for anything serious.
The one with the desktop apps, we pay about 9 euros per user per month. For that price every user gets the latest version of word/excel/powerpoint, as well as a few others that we don't use. Updates are done automatically, and each user is allowed 5 simultaneous installs with their keys (desktop computer, work laptop, phone, ...). Agreed about webapp only offers, I would not buy office 365 for that. In fact we even make a point of removing One Drive because I have no trust in Microsoft with that.
For G-suite (google docs/sheets/... for business), I find it works great as an api store that also can give you direct access as sheets/docs/... Non tech people can create stuff (templates, models, stats ...) the way they're used too, and it's super easy to integrate automation into it while keeping everything in a format that Janice from accounting or Bob from support can access in real time with the doc/spreadsheet format they're used to.
I find it much better than office's offering for that. But they're definitely not two interchangeable solutions.
