Overall Satisfaction with Quip

Quip is being used across about 30% of the organization primarily as a document collaboration tool. It's quite similar to google docs. It's leveraged for work that needs to be more real-time collaborative vs. email. The @ mention comment feature is used heavily.
  • Single sign-on via Okta.
  • A simple to understand product.
  • Collaboration features such as @ mention commenting.
  • Fairly priced.
  • Could use more differentiation vs. larger incumbent players in this space, such as Google Work Suite
  • More features to make the tool feel more 'on brand' for your particular company.
  • An excel and powerpoint add-in to make it more competitive with other incumbents.
  • Better cross-functional collaboration.
  • Less email.
  • More transparency.
  • Google Drive
While Quip is a fine tool, I personally would recommend an organization leverage Google Work Suite for Docs, Slides, and Sheets over Quip. I found Quip's feature set to be limited in relation to Google, all things considered. However, Quip can be valuable if your company has an aversion to Google (e.g. direct competitor).
Google Authenticator, Google Drive, Google Forms, Google Hangouts, Google Analytics, Google Trends, Google Voice, Jira Service Desk, Dropbox, Dropbox Business, Udemy for Business, Collective Health, Expensify, Join.me, PagerDuty, Event Espresso, Lucidchart, Slack, Atlassian Confluence, Anaplan, Oracle EPM Cloud, Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud
Quip is fine/acceptable as a collaborative document tool -- especially if your company has a strong aversion to Google/Google Work Suite. It's fairly priced, easy to use, and its strong collaborative/social features make partnering cross-functionally easier. However, if your company does not have an aversion to Google, I recommend going to Google Work Suite given the more robust feature set offering.
