We use Quip basically as an online spreadsheet. It helps in collaboration between teams & to track & update the data that can be consumed by multiple teams in real-time. It helps in analyzing data & to store data on the cloud. It's an effective substitute for MS Excel online & Google spreadsheets.
  • We use it as an effective way of collaboration between teams.
  • It can be used as an online spreadsheet.
  • It helps in accessing the data by multiple teams hassle-free.
  • Can customize the action like editing or locking the spreadsheet to the other users based on the business need.
  • The UI is very much outdated.
  • The number of rows to be added to the spreadsheet has limitations. & we have to create a new Quip every now & then once the row limits are reached.
  • Can't do a detailed analysis like pivot tables etc.
  • Other functions like sort & filter options in Quip are not so user-friendly, unlike other spreadsheets out there in the market.

When I joined my company, there was just one writer who used Microsoft Word. That was functional for a single writer, but as we grew and had more writers and people who needed access to copy, we needed a better resource.

An issue we solved with Quip was version control. The original copywriter had a tendency to jump back to old, unedited Word Documents when rewrites were requested. By using Quip, we negated that because every document is always the current version (with the ability to restore back to previous iterations if necessary).

We use Quip for all copy generation, along with placing photos in the Quip docs. Everything gets proofed within proof and then it is an easy handoff to graphic designers.
  • Version control
  • Live document control
  • Organizing large projects
  • Centralizing where content is created/stored
  • Search is fantastic (find anything by title name or internal copy, and even any copy in spreadsheet cells)
  • When using Quip Desktop, it can be slow to update with content from other users
  • I think it would be cool to have a PDF proofing system integrated into Quip. Once copy has gone to design, we are basically done using Quip - I'd like to bring that all together within Quip
  • Multi -select and group export of documents would be helpful
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.

In my organization, Quip has played a vital role in the daily life of every employee by providing an environment where storing, safeguarding, and collaborating on documents seamlessly is possible; the user interface is as adequate as it gets for this type of tool and it is possible to use it from any device. The data backup capability is good, but even better is the collaborative capabilities. It notifies me when a document has been modified, by whom it has been altered, and more, plus it provides a revision history per document. It is simply a fantastic tool for individual and collective organizations.
  • 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.
  • In terms of customizations, it is limited.
  • Exporting spreadsheets with formulas applied from Quip to Excel is not the best action, as almost everything is formatted.
It is a tool with multiple functions and capabilities to efficiently supply the needs of almost any work team and organization. It reduces gaps between work teams to connect, collaborate and advance in their objectives within the same platform where the stored information is kept safe and can be exported in several alternative formats. I recommend giving it a try; you won't regret it.

It's a very good and easy-to-use tool when it comes to brainstorming with the team and keeping your ideas in one place. It has the ability to easily create and share various file formats such as documents, presentations, spreadsheets, etc. and then collaborate on them with the team. Basically it makes the process of writing and sharing documentation a lot more painless and enjoyable.
  • Create and share different types of file formats.
  • Features of showing the line-by-line edit history and ability to chat.
  • Similar to Google Drive.
  • Formatting features while exporting to Excel or Word can be improved.
  • More readymade features can be added for image customization.
  • Search functionality can be improved without labeling as well.
It is very useful when having a brainstorming session with your team. It will help a lot keeping random data and then processing it later on. A really good note-taking app--the unique features of showing the line-by-line edit history and ability to chat makes it important for me. It increases the productivity of our employees and helps them to work in collaborative mode easily.

Quip is our go to application for team collaboration across our organization. It combines chatting and documents processing in a single tool. We chat, create channels, engage with different teams, share documents, Excel files, and edit those files within the app. It works like both Office 365 and Slack combined as a single tool. UI is very familiar and user friendly.
  • Real time chatting across teams
  • Document sharing and processing
  • Document revisions
  • smart inbox
  • Cannot format files
  • Lacks customization
  • Mobile app needs UI revamp
It is a great alternative to Google Workspace, especially it has more chat capabilities. It is best suited for team collaboration working on documents and files together. UI is very well organized given it is a collaboration tool. However, its mobile UI is very outdated and cluttered. Overall its the best tool for team collaboration along with documentation.

It is a great platform for productivity optimization for enterprises. With Quip, the collaboration is quite smooth. I love the straightforward user interface which is quite a user friendly. Overall the onboarding and testing have been quite easy. Looking forward to maximizing its use of it. This is really a phenomenal collaborative office tool. It's way beyond the other competition (including docs). This tool migrates to Office very easily, looks great, and is very simple to use.
  • Creates living documents for teams
  • Improves productivity through collaboration
  • Alternate for office for note taking, list making, creating documents, letters
  • Sometimes the product is slightly slow. This can be improved.
  • Overall they should add more integration options.
  • Could be better with the 2FA experience.
I think I live my overall experience with the product. It's quite straightforward and easy to use. Also, it is solving a lot of problems in one go. I am looking forward to continuing using it.

I use Quip for collaborative document writing as well as note-taking, meeting minutes, design documents, storing information, and more. It allows for great collaboration since it can be shared with anyone, especially in the software development environment since diagrams, code blocks, and equations can be inserted. Linking to referencing documents is also a great bonus when certain documents are part of a larger project. I have used it extensively for creating documents explaining designs and for my own planning.
  • Rich text formatting
  • Embedded spreadsheets
  • Linking to other documents
  • Revision history and comments
  • Reminders
  • Exporting to markdown would be great
  • Selection of a date format (for example, if the US date format is not preferred)
  • The mobile app could be better
Quip is great for collaborative writing. I think that you are able to get a message across, people can comment on your work, and the history is tracked, which is an added bonus. The ability to add code, spreadsheets, and images allows for a multimedia presentation of designs and important documents. Reminders are also excellent in terms of planning.

Quip is a great tool for team collaboration and uploading relevant documents in a way that's easily tracked and understood. Quip helped with making our sales process more efficient, specifically with sale stages and overall project tracking.
  • Sales process flow
  • Built-in collaboration
  • Live Salesforce data
  • Viewing uploaded Excel Files instead of always downloading the file
  • Better tracking options for contact records
  • Better UI experience
Quip is best utilized by teams and crews working on projects. Quip gives you the ability to view what your team is working on in real-time, which can be helpful on projects requiring precise time management. Working from home requires even more collaboration than ever. Quip allowed our team to organize, embed documents and files appropriately in a way that made sense.

Quip is being used across the entire organization. Sales, CS, leadership, engineering, everyone. This was a way for our company to replace Google Docs, because many had qualms with Google Docs and its capabilities and organization. This was a great way to categorize and include other team members in day to day data and logging of notes.
  • Easy to search for docs (better than Google Docs)!
  • Great for logging information (data, notes, etc.) and roping in the members of the team that need to see the notes/add comments or add points to the doc (very collaborative).
  • Oddly - formatting was really difficult sometimes with Quip and it got frustrating.
  • Wish it would segment teams better and only send me emails of things that were relevant to me, not what engineering was doing (I was in sales).
Quip is well suited for a team that is completely reliant on logging data online. Yes, a ton can and should be logged with your CRM, but this is great for internal notes/notes for client facing meetings. Quip is great for brainstorming and roping in other members of your team, but as I mentioned before, it's just like Google but better, but is the ROI worth it? Not sure. I was not the decision maker/purchaser.

We use Quip across groups specifically around Sales and IT. We implemented it to capture our account plans as a collaborative tool. We also found it to be useful for tracking projects, meeting notes and other documents that use multiple mediums and require collaboration/sharing. Quip makes document sharing easy, fun to work with and essential to teams.
  • Collaboration across teams on documents.
  • Version and change control.
  • Better integration with Powerpoint.
  • From printing to PDF with full support.
Quip is an excellent tool when more than 1 person needs to work on a document at the same time. Collaborating on slides, or documents like notes, deal discussions, account plans, project plans, etc. The ability to store a document across multiple folders so it's easily accessible to others and individually sharing it to a wide or limited audience.

We use Quip to keep track of client notes, time tracking, and other information that needs to be shared and edited by multiple people at any given time. Most of the people in our organization use Quip at some point or another. It's very similar to GoogleDocs, except more team-focused.
  • Connects our team members with the information we all need.
  • Allows us to make notes and comments for other team members to review.
  • Formatting the documents could be a little more simplified.
Quip is a great way to share documents with other team members in a way that flows effortlessly. One area that it is less appropriate is when you need to have an immediate conversation with someone, or if you need an immediate response from a team member-- scenarios where an instant messaging software would be more appropriate.

Quip is a great alternative to Google Drive. I personally don't like Google Drive and I was looking for an alternative. Quip is a great candidate for it and one we are very happy with, overall.

It has a slight learning curve but overall it is easy to use and I love that they allow for docs, spreadsheets and now slides.

We are currently using mostly for spreadsheets and some strategic docs.
  • Docs, spreadsheets and slides all in one place and online
  • Team collaboration and sharing is great (includes chat room)
  • Easy to use interface
  • I'd LOVE to see a better design for the folders page. It looks soooo 1998 Microsoft, for some reason to me...
  • Please, please, please redesign the folders page... It doesn't feel like it belongs to the same app
Quip is a great tool for small and medium teams that rely on collaboration and as a centralized place for documents. It is overall a great alternative to Google Drive with a far nicer interface.

It is a fast tool and easy to use. It has been an excellent option for my business, specially for shared spreadsheets that before had to be downloaded and uploaded over and over.

Quip is also simple, while providing many features. Oh and don't miss their templates!

Quip is being used by the Marketing department so it easier to collaborate between all of us here. We work on campaigns where a lot of people are involved such as graphic designers, writers, developers, managers, and so forth; Quip helps us have all the information for one campaign in one place, including a place to chat about the campaign
  • A great place to have campaigns managed in a very organized way and to request many different things to different people in the department.
  • The fact that there is a chat box right next to where everything is kept for a campaign is very useful to ask for small things to other people involved in the campaign.
  • Simplistic and effortless to use. Other tools might be a little too complicated to use, Quip is not that case.
  • It would be good to have the option of making the chat a little bigger when needed.
  • Sometimes documents can become too long, it would be good to add tabs for the same campaign.
  • Close down the white-space on the sides of the Quip document so more content can be seen at glance.
When there are a lot of people involved in one campaign, Quip is a great space to collaborate, have different types of documents and links. It is easy to share files, let others know when some stages of the campaign are done. It is a little less appropriate in my opinion when you just need to have your own to-do list.

Quip is used by the whole organization. It solves the business problems of document organization, centralized SOP storage, team brainstorming, project management facilitation, and file management. It does this by providing a central location for all documents to live with intuitive writing and editing tools that keep documents clean while being multi-functional.
  • Collaboration
  • To-Do lists with reminders
  • Kanban boards
  • Limited color coding options
Quip is great if your team already has another objective/KPI system in place. It can't replace more robust task management but does a great job at combining document collaboration and creation with file storage and basic to-do list functionality. It's a great platform to build off of and is flexible enough to work with multiple work styles.

It is very useful since it integrates with Salesforce, so documents can be edited in Quip and kept updated simultaneously on Salesforce. Normally used for Word doc types. It helps to keep everything in sync. Quip also allows more than one user editing a document at the same time, so for project documentation that involves a team, it can also be used. Excel files can be imported and "converted" as Quip documents smoothly.
  • Teamwork
  • Project Management
  • Saleforce Integration
  • Trusted cloud provider
  • Not a real substitute for MS Office
  • Not many edit options for documents
  • It can do the work related to Excel and Word well, but not for PowerPoint.
Great option if you have no budget to acquire MS Office 365.

Good option for situations that require teamwork and several people editing the same document simultaneously.
Not a good option for sophisticated situations that call for documents prepared for external clients that need a more professional layout.Useful as a safe location to keep documents, but only for Word and Excel-like types.

  • Used as note taking app.
  • Used to share minutes following meeting (there is a note share functionality built in, so you don't have to email out to the team afterwards).
  • Used to communicate concepts in meetings, where on screen aid is required but PowerPoint would be overkill.
  • In certain instances, used for on the fly spreadsheet calculations, due to the in build xls capability. This is incredibly useful.
  • Outside of work, I utilise it as a personal to-do list!
  • Formatting of your notes, where they require sharing to others in a sensible and easily understandable format (it makes brain dumps look like some kind of useful prose!)
  • Spreadsheet functionality: you can literally copy and paste out of a spreadsheet, then make formulaic changes to it in Quip. Can also copy and paste out of Quip into spreadsheet. Very neat feature!
  • Chat function - so if you don't use Slack or another tool and have Quip, it may preclude having to get that additional tool.
  • When you open up functionality to the entire company via share, they seem to get really annoying emails and requests through Quip.
  • The user interface can be confusing at time; it's hard to get from one note to another.
  • The formatting is typically great. But there are some annoying issues with Headers (markup format) and bullet points which need to be worked out. Not show stoppers, but annoying!
[Quip is] Suited:
  • Quick note taking in meetings
  • Tool for interviews and focus groups
  • Sharing thoughts which require contribution by multiple team members simultaneously (a la Google Docs)
  • General day-to-day note taking, especially when you want to tag notes to particular users
[Quip is] Not Suited:
  • Complex note taking, which requires different colours and hard formatting
  • Word style work - it looks like it but is not quite there yet!
