(1-15 of 15)Quip - Nearly there but not yet!
- 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- The UI is very much outdated.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.
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
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.
A robust tool for storing information, working on documents and collaborating in a practical way
- 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.

Quip! Driving Cross-functional Collaboration and Efficiency
- 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.
- 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.
Try Quip for a modern take on collaboration
- 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 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 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.
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 for Document Management
- Collaboration
- To-Do lists with reminders
- Kanban boards
- Limited color coding options
Quip Review - Excellent to use With Salesforce
- 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.
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.
Get Quip, Quick!
- 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!
- 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
- Complex note taking, which requires different colours and hard formatting
- Word style work - it looks like it but is not quite there yet!
