Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

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The UI is very much outdated.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.
