Data Backup
Google Apps does not do so by default (but you can recover previous versions of files).


Microsoft backs up your data;

email archiving/e-discovery


“Google Apps for Vault”

"Office 365 Enterprise E3"




Desktop plans

Some Office 365 plans include desktop apps such as Word, Excel, etc. to help round off the suite, giving customers both the thick clients and the browser-based versions.

Google Apps is entirely browser-based so there is no such desktop program counterpart. However, you can use Docs, Sheets and Slides offline in Chrome

Learn
Google Apps programs are fairly easy to learn and intuitive.

May feel too awkward for those who are hard-coded to work in Office.
