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  • The UI is very much outdated.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.

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 is a big help when it comes to organizing data and leads. It helps me to organized my tasks and reports without the hassle thus this software is good for an ease of access and good graphics. Another thing is, it minimized our working hours which is a plus in my organization since every day more data and leads are being gathered and are needed to be arranged and organized.
  • Organized leads and reports
  • ease of access
  • good graphics
  • user-friendly
  • color scheme
Quip is well suited in a company that focus on finding leads, assessing and organizing reports. Although Quip can be use in any field or any types of company. I don't think that Quip has a situation or scenario that it is less suited or appropriate since it helps in summarization and ease of access in terms of files and reports.

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 this product to facilitate collaboration amongst members of my organization. It allows us to easily collaborate on spreadsheets and other types of company documents that otherwise would have been very difficult to do such collaboration on.
  • Collaboration on documents.
  • Planning of meetings.
  • Keeping track of progress.
  • User interface.
  • Speed.
Well suited for simultaneous collaboration, not well suited for individual work.

We use Quip to collaborate on projects, as well as on records in Salesforce
  • Integrate Salesforce records
  • Streamline data updates between Salesforce and Quip
  • Collaboration with change tracking
  • Both internal and external collaboration
  • Offering better templates for different business needs
  • Pricing is a major barrier to entry
  • Suggesting other uses
Quip is a great collaboration tool since it lets you pull in Salesforce data and then update that data from the Quip document. It has a lot of value but is also such a broad solution that you sacrifice functionality for broad application.

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.
Through it, an organization will achieve 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.

We use Quip as our project management tool, where we store documents and chat and collaborate with internal team members. It is used within only the CRM Salesforce department. It solves problems such as where projects are, and how we collaborate. We also enjoy the calendar tool.
  • Integration with Salesforce users and records.
  • Kanban boards make it easy to visualize projects and tasks within projects.
  • Live Salesforce reports without the tool help with being able to see data without having to login to Salesforce.
  • Mobile app is easy to use.
  • The interface could be improved to match the lightning look and feel. We get a sense Salesforce is using this acquisition as a re-brand and not a deep Salesforce product.
  • Ability to give external user access without a full license would be nice.
  • Having some more app-exchange add ons would also be nice.
Quip is well-suited for any scenario where you have multiple team members working together on a project. If you already use Salesforce, Quip is a great tool to get as an add on for collaboration within your team. If you currently do not use Salesforce as your CRM then you may not see all the deep linked benefits.

Quip has been used by a small team of Salesforce administrators and developers at my organization, as part of our enterprise Salesforce agreement. I've personally used it to keep track of documentation, to-do lists, meeting minutes and general notes, and share and collaborate on them with co-workers with whom I work most closely. Quip allows me to organize my thoughts in a way that is easily readable, editable and shareable, so I can spend less time flipping through various repositories of documentation, and spend more time completing tasks and building solutions.
  • Lists - Quip makes it easy to log your thoughts or tasks into bulleted, numbered or check-boxed lists. You can click checkboxes to mark things off the list, and you can drag and drop single line items to reorder your list very easily. This is especially helpful in prioritizing tasks on the fly.
  • Organization - you can group your documents into various folders, favorite the ones you use most, and track changes and updates to each file. It has a very Slack-y feel to the way things are organized, which I find useful.
  • Sharing - Quip is a very collaborative tool, allowing you to share and edit documents with co-workers, and get notifications when they update or respond on a particular file.
  • 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.
I've found Quip to be extremely useful as a collaborative document sharing platform, moreso even than the Google suite, because the user interface is pleasing and intuitive, and it's much easier to organize and find files. If you prefer the File System Hierarchy style organization of Google Docs, Quip might not be for you - but if you're looking for a new take on organization with a more graphic feel to it, I would recommend giving Quip a try.

I would say Quip is best suited for documents you're sharing or working on with an internal team, especially something that's for reference or a rough draft, since it's not big on formatting. This definitely isn't a platform for making a polished document to show off to customers, etc.

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.

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!
