The only miniscule gripe with O365 MIGHT be that they don't have a bare bones plan with JUST e-mail.
But really, for $4 ... if it is for business, that should be able to be justified.
What do you mean JUST email? The $4 plan is just email.
Oh, sorry, I mean like a "reduced" e-mail like some places used to offer for $1 or $2. For devices and things that can't use aliases but don't need a 50GB mailbox and full Exchange features.
BTW: you consider full Exchange (aka, contacts, calendaring, ActiveSync) JUST e-mail?

If I recall right, they have an Exchange Online Kiosk plan that's stripped down. I don't recall the details about it though--been a while since I looked at it.

I use G-Suite or ZOho.

I tried G Suite, but didn't like the way it was necessary to continuously switch accounts within Chrome. Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Why are you constantly switching accounts? If you mean a person account vs your business account, then as someone mentioned - it sounds like Chrome can open two different mailboxes over two different tabs.
If you're a FireFox user, the add-on Multi Account Containers will allow this same functionality (someone else on ML recently posted about this add-on, it's pretty cool!).Google has always been designed to work wi5hout needing any stupid account containers.
This only works for certain functions. As someone who needs to do this, I can tell you, it works but it is more cumbersome than you'd hope and very slow.
Right, it works for email and calendar though. What else do users need?
From the administration side, that is different.

It makes authentication to other apps complex.

If you tie your Google account to other services instead of using a unique log in, then that is your own problem for being a bad user.

I only have an issue with using Google as an authenticator because -- well I don't really know why any more..
So what's your issue with using Google as an authenticator?

Well I barely use gmail, definitely don't have more than one account, so again, wouldn't know - don't like gmail any more than I like Chrome.

I didn't spread anything - I've always said - I don't fucking know because, yeah I don't.
But the OP said he was having to :
I tried G Suite, but didn't like the way it was necessary to continuously switch accounts within Chrome. Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
So I was mainly offering the FF add-on, and parroting someone else that chrome allows multiple gmails to be open at once.

And my point is that as a user, there is little to no account switching with google apps under normal use. if the OP is trying to state otherwise, he is doing something abnormal to the typical user.

Btw you can use gmail via thunderbird or oytlook or any other mua if yiu do not like web interfaces.
We are gsuite customers an we are noticing some issues with really busy accounts. The web interfaces tend to stall but we also use a number of 3rd party extensions to fit our needs.
