### "Patronum has been a blessing for our Google Workspace account management"

February 18, 2022

5.0

The entire experience from pre sale, demo, to deployment was extremely smooth and well done.

Pros

The ability to centrally manage so many components of our users lifecycle. Using the google admin panel is not user friendly and very unorganized. Patronum has basically replaced the need for our Admins to use google admin panel and use patronum as our employee access management tool. It has everything built into the platform, including signature management, contact sharing, file permission, etc..

Cons

Some of the limits API limitations are more on the google side.

### "great product with exceptional support"

August 15, 2023

5.0

This is a great product helping us to avoid using GAM and have an easy-to-use interface to manage contact sharing, signatures, email delegation, Google Drive, offboarding and other automation policies.

Pros

Patronum does contact sharing which has been phased out by other competitors since Google moved on to people API. I love the support they offer and the fact that they take into consideration every feedback/request we might have.

Cons

sometimes policies don't sync correctly but that's due to Google's API limitations and has been explained by Patronum in detail so we can understand what happens under the hood

### "Excellent product for start-ups"

February 10, 2026

5.0

I stumbled on it after going down a rabbit hole looking for solution for how to structure the company drive in such a way that it provided maximum security with maximum flexibility and was still easy to use. It met and exceeded all of my expectations. When you are a founder the admin side is the less glamorous side of what you are doing but if you neglect it, it can cause a lot of chaos and frustration down the line. Proper drive structure, folder structure, naming conventions, group permission and easy on and off-boarding has all been solved by Patronum.

Pros

I loved how it made something that was complex simple. Building a company involves building its systems, processes and making sure that everyone can work together collaboratively in an organized way without compromising the security of the company. Patronum made all of this so much easier. They solve a real problem with great elegance.

Cons

There is honestly nothing that I do not like about Patronum. The product and the support and value for money is excellent.

### "Honest Review "

February 18, 2022

5.0

Enough tool to manage org but not more of auditing purposes.

Pros

We were primarily interested in Patronum for its excellent integration with Google and the signature manager. This has made it so much easier for us to create a consistent look and feel for our google signatures. For the same price as most products that only manage signatures, this does so much more. From on and off boarding policies to managing users and seeing your companies org chart, this product is fantastic. If you have google workspace and are looking to manage users and to have the best Google signature manager out there, get this.

Cons

It's not designed in a way that we can easily extract the detailed report of compliance which is not readily available in the GWS console.

### "Excellent Value, Simple to Use, Great Features"

March 29, 2022

5.0

I met with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] personally and he helped me understand the ins and outs of Patronum. Having the ability to use the product under a very long trial period was helpful in allowing us to explore the features and settings for ourselves. The customer service is impeccable, with almost no wait for a response. The user experience is the best I've seen among many similar products.

Pros

Patronum is straight forward and easy to use. Even for just simple signature management, it is far beyond other products in ease, clarity, and customization. Although we have not yet used Patronum to its full potential, we can't wait to use it to help create more efficient and automated processes in our business.

Cons

I cannot think of any criticisms for Patronum. Some of the features we want are just not available to API based products. Maybe one day Patronum's team will figure out how to break through those barriers, but until then, we are happy with what we have.

Reason for choosing Patronum

Patronum is priced at the best value possible, making it affordable for a small business to use an enterprise-type product. The response and service from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and his team was the final selling factor.

### "Best tool for any Google Workspace admin"

February 18, 2022

5.0

It is a time saver and if you rely on contacts in your company this is the tool to set it up. Share your labels and set rules for your users what they can do and don’t. This tool saved me a lot of time.

Pros

If you need to onboard, offboard new employees this tools will help you to manage that task easily. If you need to set up contact sharing as well, this is THE tool. I can highly recommend this tool.

Cons

I didn’t come across any negative issues with it.

### "I LOVE PATRONUM! "

July 17, 2025

5.0

I have become a HUGE FAN of Patronum! I was facing a difficult challenge: cleaning up years of externally shared Google Drive files without locking down our entire Workspace. I tried speaking with Google reps, using coded scripts, and other methods—all with no success. Our files were a mess and cleaning them up in bulk was starting to seem impossible. Then I saw Patronum mentioned in a Reddit thread and decided to give it a shot... Using the free trial, I was able to do what I’d been struggling with for weeks. Patronum solved the problem perfectly, and I couldn’t believe how easy it was! I didn’t explore all the features (like email signatures etc.), as I was focused on “unsharing files”…but Patronum got the job done in a way nothing else could! I want to recommend this tool to everyone! The trial lasts 30 DAYS and includes all the features, so you have nothing to lose. Try Patronum–you won't be disappointed!

Pros

Patronum offers many features that SHOULD be native to the Google Workspace experience. Patronum allowed me to do things I could NOT do in G-Drive, and FAST. Google leaves so much to be desired on their design...and Patronum fills in the gaps and makes things EASY. Simple things like exporting a file list or searching for external emails/users is not possible in Google, yet Patronum makes it a breeze. I am so grateful and want to shout Patronum's praises from the rooftops!

Cons

There were some parts of the layout that occasionally got a little buggy. (e.g. I would see a message saying "unsharing 862/862 files"...but then later a few leftover files would appear that still needed to be unshared. No big deal though. I'd just repeat the process and clean up the residual files.

### "New standard in Google Workspace tools."

February 16, 2022

5.0

We've joined during beta when product was still free and we've been looking for a good tool to manage signatures. Since then we moved to paid plan we added off-boarding and automated group membership to handle SAML, target audiences and general group presence. There is a lot of features we are looking to implement when we have some time.

Pros

It's only tool that will sync all of the employee data including new, custom fields. This alone opens vast array of possibilities that other companies seems to ignore. Simplest example is storing user's gender pronoun and then using it in signature.

Cons

Currently priority is on new features and implementing user's feedback so in some cases manuals seem to take back seat. Interface is simple but some things aren't clear without checking with support.

Reason for choosing Patronum

We ar paying for some other tools and make our own API automations. At the time of rollout Patronum was only app that would update signatures in a way we wanted while supporting custom data. When discarding all the other benefits it was still cheaper then some "signature only" systems.

### " If you use Google Workspace - Buy Patronum!"

April 19, 2023

5.0

Patronum has been a game-changer for me in managing my Google Workspace. I was struggling with a major problem that Google Support couldn't solve, but Patronum came to the rescue. The product is power-packed and has exceeded my expectations. It has made my work much easier and more efficient. I highly recommend Patronum to anyone who wants to simplify their Google Workspace management.Simply put, If you use Google Workspace - Buy Patronum!

Pros

It is powerful and helps control my drives more efficiently. I am able to find the delinquents and take action pretty easily. It is inexpensive for the features that they provide.Exemplary support & the product \[sensitive content hidden\] listens to your concerns.

Cons

The UI can be improved, i am sure Patronum is working on this. Also, it could have been great if a few standard reports could be provided every week via mail - to showcase compliance.

Reason for choosing Patronum

It is easy and straightforward & i don't think there is any product in the market which packs all the features that Patronum provides. The cherry on the cake is the top-notch support that is provided.

### "Patronum for Google Workspace"

October 21, 2024

5.0

Great and would recommend it if you want to automatize tasks in the Google Workspace environment.

Pros

The possibilty of automating repetitive tasks, user onboarding, offboarding, and policy enforcements, helping us save time and improve efficiency.

Cons

While the basic setup is straightforward and super easy, leveraging some of the more advanced features might require additional training or time investment.

February 18, 2022

5.0

The Patronum team are absolutely committed to creating an amazing product that will help those managing their Google Workspace. The system is rich with functionality and the user support is always very responsive. This really is the first choice for those wanting less headaches.

Pros

The organisational chart and email signature management are super easy and have nice templates which you can quickly use to get underway. Once they're done and you've created your policies you don't need to worry about any new starters. Magic!

Cons

I found the policies a bit difficult to get my head around. The support team helped my get these setup so it got sorted in the end. They asked me for any suggested improvements and I recommended they had templates. Hopefully we'll see that soon.

Reason for choosing Patronum

The pricing of CloudM is absolutely crazy and they try and tie you in for ages.

February 17, 2022

5.0

We have been very happy with the product and use it across multiple clients that we fully manage.

Pros

Our favorite feature is how you can automate many tasks within Google Workspace such as email signature templates and onboarding / off boarding workflows. It also exposes several API only admin features of Google Workspace that are extremely useful.

Cons

It’s a young product so some features are still a little rough around the edges but it has performed very well for us most of the time.

Love Patronum, the user interface is a pleasure to use, feels like a native Google app, and it's functionality is super useful. Being able to browser my users Google Drives and Shared Drives is fantastic and really helps when we have people on leave. We also make maximum use of the onboarding features especially the email signatures, and creating Google Docs for new employees to complete upon their first day. Working with the team at Patronum is also amazing, they are extremely responsive and help us with even the smallest of questions. Having the chat directly in the interface makes that process really easy. We can't recommend them enough.

Pros

Pros

The Policies section makes it so simple to set up onboarding, offboarding and signature policies. I've used a number of Admin tools and this is the easiest and most user-friendly interface that I have found.
