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  • The UI is very much outdated.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.

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 However, its mobile UI is very outdated and cluttered.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.

Quip was used as a collaborative way with our Teams to share and create documentation all within one application. This application was extremely helpful in that the company only had to use one app and not flip between multiple systems to get the job done. by being able to tag employees and add comments right in the documents created, it was so easy to collaborate.
  • shows live data so executive management can view it at any time
  • using one application without having to flip between systems
  • the collaboration aspect is awesome between tagging employees and adding comments right into the document
  • the ability to set reminders of tasks that are coming up due right in the document
  • i would say there is a bit of a learning curve, as with anything new, to fully understand how to get the most out of the feature
Quip is well suited for employees that work a lot in documents and reporting and need to provide upper management with reports on Team stats and project tasks. You can also turn any report into a document, which makes the integration so easy to use. Also well suited for Project Management and Account Management, which is something we used it for also

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.

Quip is currently used by our CS and technical teams to collaborate on documentation and research related to our product and business. Effectively, it is a repository to maintain documentation on nonstandard processes or product features as we seek to standardize those areas.
  • Collaboration
  • In-line editing
  • Not a true word processor
  • Better Salesforce integration
If you are looking for a collaborative tool, Quip is rock solid. @mentioning, commenting and history are excellent. Quip's usefulness is particularly prominent in developing documentation for internal dev teams. Challenges are that quip is not as ubiquitous as Google Docs, OneNote or Evernote. Because of this, sharing might not be as strong. Also, while it seemed to start as a SaaS word processor, I would not recommend if that is your primary use case.

Quip is being used by my organization to facilitate team members staying on the same page. We create color-coded folders in order to discern topics and tasks that need to be completed. Its ability to be so collaborative is what makes coordinating with colleagues so effortless.
  • The ability to help you stay highly organized
  • Communicate with others in real time
  • It tends to restart a lot and any work you are doing is interrupted
  • Unless specifically set in your preferences, you'll get a slew of emails indicating updates
I work at a television production company so there are several hard deadlines we have to make as a team. Using Quip helps to keep members of the team constantly updated and in-the-know.

Quip serves less of a purpose when it comes to sharing documents outside of an internal group. Anyone who uses Quip in any sort of capacity, should have an account created by the admin.

Quip software has been leveraged as the best collaboration tool in my company. Through it, the company has achieved better connectivity and efficiency. 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.
  • Quip has empowered collaboration across the organization.
  • It has driven accountability through its fantastic features.
  • It integrates comfortably with a single-sign-on.
  • Its synchronization of files to a central online portal is admirable.
  • It has a very interactive user interface.
  • They should improve on branding to make it more effective on company branding
  • Should improve on charting
  • Should incorporate some Excel and Powerpoint features to make it more competitive on Google products.

Quip is being leveraged as a collaboration tool across my company to drive better connectivity and efficiency. We primarily use the docs feature, but have also experimented in project management and dash-boarding. The tool is easy to use and fairly streamlined.
  • Synchronizes files to a central online portal.
  • Empowers collaboration across the company.
  • Drives accountability through collaborative features.
  • Clean, simple, easy-to-use interface.
  • Integrates with single-sign-on.
  • Better branding to make the tool feel on more respective to a company's brand.
  • Could use some Powerpoint and Excel-like features, to be more competitive with Google's products.
  • Better charting.
Quip enables productivity and collaboration for companies small and big. It's easy to use, intuitive and stable. It's got great collaboration features that really drive efficiency and accountability. I recommend it for the aforementioned use cases. It's not as strong with charting, slides, Excel, and complex visualizations as some other tools on the market.

Quip is used mostly by IT but also a small group of business users mostly in Accounting. It was put in place to allow collaboration of IT and business users. Chat communication, document storage, sharing and collaboration on documents were part of what we were trying to address. Since Salesforce is a big part of what we do, it made sense to have a tool that worked tightly with Salesforce and worked in the cloud like Salesforce.
  • Quip puts a lot of chatting capabilities into everything - likes, tags, favorites, callouts, emojis, Giphy, attachments. So communication is rich and creative. And they link chatting communication into everything.
  • Quip allows for collaboration on all documents. Highlights on document or lines or parts of documents are allowed. So collaboration can be very specific within the document. There are date time tags so it is easy to trace historically. Quip also notes when someone sees something which is handy for possible follow-ups instead of waiting for a reply of some kind.
  • Quip has done a fantastic job of expanding Quip capabilities. When we first started, only basic office documents were allowed. Now they have many other apps for project tracking, calendar, working with Salesforce records, and integration with JIRA. These are all very simple to use. It is easy to start using with no training.
  • Quip office documents are not as full featured as Microsoft Office documents you may be used to. Mind you, there are thousands of features in MS Office documents. But even some of the more basic features are not available. I have many problems with formatting. The worst problem is when a document starts in something else like Microsoft Office and then you try to copy it to Quip. You usually end up having to re-write it if it was complicated.
  • Quip documents will feel slow compared to locally based documents. The performance is similar to what I have seen with O365 documents editing online and only a little slower than Google docs (Google docs do this surprisingly well). But if you are used to working fast in a document you will be challenged by the response time. The problem seems worse with more than 1 person in the document and especially if the document gets large.
  • It would be nice to see Quip embrace Google apps or O365 more. Many companies and users have one or more so would be nice to move between and not lose so much. These are competitors and I know why that would not be a priority but it does mean sometimes I may not put something in Quip.
Quip is well suited for a company with a sizeable Salesforce investment and wants a lot of features around collaboration. You want office type documents but you don't have a huge existing library that you also have to integrate and work with.
Review the Apps that Quip makes available. They have done a good job of coming up with many team-oriented documents for different tasks. While not super full-featured, they give you enough of what you need and you will not have to spend money on other products.
I am unsure of pricing but I have heard it is not cheap. There may be cost barriers to smaller companies. Google and O365 may offer more cost-effective alternatives.

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.
