Alternatives Considered

Google Drive, Todoist and Airtable

Quip is primarily for document creation and organization -- in this capacity it far outperforms Google Drive with it's user-friendly interface and rich built-in features like Kanban boards, tables, and checklists. However, it is not designed to be a fully customizable database like Airtable or a high powered task management system like Todoist.

Other Software Used

Airtable, Todoist, Trello

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
