ClickUp vs. Quip

Due to its flexibility, ClickUp is a tool that can be implemented on, and for almost anything. Prior experience with similar tools is not required, and I am yet to run into a situation where I couldn't find use in ClickUp somehow. The success of the implementation and adoption solely depends on well constructed processes and management. ClickUp isn't going to magically make your processes run better. If you have solid processes and lack the tool to coordinate these efficiently, ClickUp will help. Similarly it depends on the activity of its users to get the most out of the platform.

Quip is an excellent program for pulling all writing together under one roof. Some may argue that you could just use the Google suite of products (which is technically true), however, I think Quip is easier to use and bring all document types together with better organization. The searchability is top-notch (I solely use ctrl+j and the search pane to move through Quip). For any company that does a lot of writing for multiple clients, or has a lot of projects going, it provides solid organization. It also is great for allowing visibility into project status without someone potentially causing a conflict (corrupting a document). If you are looking for a full-scale project management software - Quip could probably do it, but it would likely take a bit more internal work to get your system setup.

• Can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be
• Excellent options for customization
• Simple, aesthetically pleasing design
• Multiple views to make it easier to track projects
• Easy to collaborate with others
• User-friendly and easy to learn to use, even if you're not tech-savvy
• Plenty of information out there on how to use ClickUp

• Our experience with Quip has been nothing short of astounding; I love everything about this collaboration tool.
• I love that it is cross-platform and works so well on mobile devices; it makes it unhindered to make progress on to-dos, take notes, export spreadsheets and documents, and have all my information organized within one environment.
• I also love that it notifies me when someone has done something in shared documents and the incredible ease of linking documents in chats.
• Quip's user interface is friendly and comfortably navigable; it feels right.

• I use Table view as my primary view. When I click on a task it edits the task name instead of opening the task - this is very frustrating. There should be an icon at the end of the name to edit the task name.
• improved duplication of status levels across all spaces and lists. I find I need to recreate my unique status set when I add a new space or list
• in mobile view condense empty fields (e.g. description) so sub-tasks arent pushed down so far

• Update frequency - it feels like I need to update the application about twice a week. It's important to push new functionality and address bugs, but it often feels like the Quip team doesn't have their release schedule planned out very well. Constant updates are disruptive and counterproductive.
• Automatic date reminders - Quip will automatically set a date into a reminder as you type it, which could be a useful feature, but it just ends up being annoying. More often than not I'm just typing today's date in a document to track meeting minutes, or potentially adding in an expected delivery date, for which I really don't need a reminder.

We're very pleased with how the system works in general. For over a year we've barely ever had any problems with ClickUp and there might have only been one or two times when it wasn't operational for us due to a global emergency. Moreover, when we had a problem once with renewing our licenses we've been contacted directly by our account manager and taken care of in a very professional way (with a due refund as well). The exceptional customer service makes us firmly believe that ClickUp is just the right tool for us.

It takes a lot of onboarding, training, and tinkering around to use ClickUp to it's full (or even half-full) potential. But once you do, it can do amazing things. There are so many different ways to customize and adapt it to suit your needs. I especially like how different spaces, folders, lists, etc. can have different settings that you can fully customize.

It is the best collaboration tool in my company. Through it, the organization has achieved better connectivity and efficiency in its communication. Primarily, the docs feature of this software is the most utilized in the company. Slowly, dash-boarding and project management features have also been utilized. Generally, it is the best tool, very easy and fairly streamlined

I can't recall of any time ClickUp has been down for more than a few seconds. The only availability option is file retrieval at times, some times it just sits there trying to open a file, but again this happens very infrequently.

I understand that it's a beast and does a lot of things, which is probably why it's laggy. But I do find it takes longer than I'd like to load, and if I am sending a complex document to a client or team member they aren't quite sure if they're getting the right thing at first. This is actually a pretty significant problem - my biggest beef with ClickUp.

Every time I communicated with ClickUp, I got a fast and eager-to-please response. There were a couple of times I tried to leave based on another offer of another tool, and they woo'd me back with their warm responses and help to please me. I would highly recommend their customer service team!

I have never used Quip's support. To be fair, we hired someone who used to work for Quip before working at our company, and he implemented it and pushed it with the team. He was very biased toward the product, and yes it was better than Google Drive, but by how much?

There are multiple guides on literally all of the functions you can find within the system, therefore it's easy to learn anything you'd really like to use, starting from project and people management, down to Gantts, mind maps, time tracking, inviting Clients as guests to work with you on the projects and so much more.

Using ClickUp is fairly easy. There are multiple guides on how to use all of the functions in the system. An organization wanting to start working with ClickUp should simply try it out and see how it would like to adapt its workflow to the possibilities the system gives the users.

ClickUp Business Plan Task Record ✔️ Prioritization ✔️ Task Snooze ✔️ Customization ✔️ Start Date ✔️ Templates ✔️ The other software that I tried do not do all of these things.

We no longer use Teamwork but when we did, we tried to house documents but we'd always forget where they were. They weren't easy to access. Dropbox we still use sometimes, but if all our clients used quip, we would no longer need to use Dropbox except for audio and video files so Quip could improve on importing audio and video files.

I did not.

As long as organizations are thoughtful when setting up their workspace, I believe that ClickUp is very scalable. For example, we have divided our spaces into functional areas, and further organized projects into a folder system within spaces. By being thoughtful in the early stages of set up, I believe we are avoiding a disorganized situation down the line where projects lack any clear structured hierarchy.

• We are way more productive now
• Or purchases are under JIT methodology (Just in time), saving alot of money and making the investment only when it is needed.
• Our process are way more organized now.
• Made multi-task possible among many projects at same time
• Our company now is way more connected.

• Quip allowed collaboration and communication between Salesforce team and the rest of IT as well as business users.
• Quip allowed collaboration on documents that was very interactive and helpful to the creation process.
• Quip frustrated us because we had so many documents that we already had but they did not work well inside of Quip.
