Based on the data on this page, GAT+ is the stronger choice for most Google Workspace Marketplace merchants — 4.8★ vs Spanning Backup for G Suite's 4.5★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. Spanning Backup for G Suite has the larger user base (210 reviews vs 130), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.
