We have a couple of Salesforce users the are allocated to IT and have
admin privs. We can add/disable users very easily and quickly.

Only active (ie not disabled) user accounts count against the number of
licensed users. A guess Salesforce know that sales forces can be
dynamic!

You do have to extend some trust to Salesforce/Google and with the
expectation that their IT staff won't snoop or steal the data. Many
companies are OK with that given that they already have that expectation
of their own IT staff. OTOH, many companies are not and I understand that
Google did recently fire a member of staff for snooping email.
