A robust tool for storing information, working on documents and collaborating in a practical way

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Quip was used as a collaborative way with our Teams to share and create documentation all within one application. This application was extremely helpful in that the company only had to use one app and not flip between multiple systems to get the job done. by being able to tag employees and add comments right in the documents created, it was so easy to collaborate.

Pros

shows live data so executive management can view it at any time
using one application without having to flip between systems
the collaboration aspect is awesome between tagging employees and adding comments right into the document
the ability to set reminders of tasks that are coming up due right in the document

Cons

i would say there is a bit of a learning curve, as with anything new, to fully understand how to get the most out of the feature

Likelihood to Recommend

Quip is well suited for employees that work a lot in documents and reporting and need to provide upper management with reports on Team stats and project tasks. You can also turn any report into a document, which makes the integration so easy to use. Also well suited for Project Management and Account Management, which is something we used it for also

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Quip is very easy to use within the organization and it provides to share and edit documents together at the same time. It is very easy to install and also easy to maintain. It also allows communication in real time. It supports a variety of documentation or file types to edit and share together.

Pros

Real time communication.
Edit and share.
Supports variety file type.

Cons

Group chat efficiency.
None.

Likelihood to Recommend

When it comes to accessing the same document or file together and editing or updating the same then their Quip is well suited. It is the best solution to access the same file with many team members where it is more usable. I do not fount it less appropriate anywhere to use it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Quip for collaborative document writing as well as note-taking, meeting minutes, design documents, storing information, and more. It allows for great collaboration since it can be shared with anyone, especially in the software development environment since diagrams, code blocks, and equations can be inserted. Linking to referencing documents is also a great bonus when certain documents are part of a larger project. I have used it extensively for creating documents explaining designs and for my own planning.

Pros

Rich text formatting
Embedded spreadsheets
Linking to other documents
Revision history and comments
Reminders

Cons

Exporting to markdown would be great
Selection of a date format (for example, if the US date format is not preferred)
The mobile app could be better

Likelihood to Recommend

Quip is great for collaborative writing. I think that you are able to get a message across, people can comment on your work, and the history is tracked, which is an added bonus. The ability to add code, spreadsheets, and images allows for a multimedia presentation of designs and important documents. Reminders are also excellent in terms of planning.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Quip is a great tool for team collaboration and uploading relevant documents in a way that's easily tracked and understood. Quip helped with making our sales process more efficient, specifically with sale stages and overall project tracking.

Pros

Sales process flow
Built-in collaboration
Live Salesforce data

Cons

Viewing uploaded Excel Files instead of always downloading the file
Better tracking options for contact records
Better UI experience

Likelihood to Recommend

Quip is best utilized by teams and crews working on projects. Quip gives you the ability to view what your team is working on in real-time, which can be helpful on projects requiring precise time management. Working from home requires even more collaboration than ever. Quip allowed our team to organize, embed documents and files appropriately in a way that made sense.

Quip - better than Google Drive?

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

January 22, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Quip is being used across the entire organization. Sales, CS, leadership, engineering, everyone. This was a way for our company to replace Google Docs, because many had qualms with Google Docs and its capabilities and organization. This was a great way to categorize and include other team members in day to day data and logging of notes.

Pros

Easy to search for docs (better than Google Docs)!
Great for logging information (data, notes, etc.) and roping in the members of the team that need to see the notes/add comments or add points to the doc (very collaborative).

Cons

Oddly - formatting was really difficult sometimes with Quip and it got frustrating.
Wish it would segment teams better and only send me emails of things that were relevant to me, not what engineering was doing (I was in sales).

Likelihood to Recommend

Quip is well suited for a team that is completely reliant on logging data online. Yes, a ton can and should be logged with your CRM, but this is great for internal notes/notes for client facing meetings. Quip is great for brainstorming and roping in other members of your team, but as I mentioned before, it's just like Google but better, but is the ROI worth it? Not sure. I was not the decision maker/purchaser.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Quip is currently used by our CS and technical teams to collaborate on documentation and research related to our product and business. Effectively, it is a repository to maintain documentation on nonstandard processes or product features as we seek to standardize those areas.

Pros

Collaboration
In-line editing

Cons

Not a true word processor
Better Salesforce integration

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are looking for a collaborative tool, Quip is rock solid. @mentioning, commenting and history are excellent. Quip's usefulness is particularly prominent in developing documentation for internal dev teams. Challenges are that quip is not as ubiquitous as Google Docs, OneNote or Evernote. Because of this, sharing might not be as strong. Also, while it seemed to start as a SaaS word processor, I would not recommend if that is your primary use case.

Quip is Overall an Efficient Tool to Use When it Comes to Collaboration and Task Management

December 17, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Quip is being used by my organization to facilitate team members staying on the same page. We create color-coded folders in order to discern topics and tasks that need to be completed. Its ability to be so collaborative is what makes coordinating with colleagues so effortless.

Pros

The ability to help you stay highly organized
Communicate with others in real time

Cons

It tends to restart a lot and any work you are doing is interrupted
Unless specifically set in your preferences, you'll get a slew of emails indicating updates

Likelihood to Recommend

I work at a television production company so there are several hard deadlines we have to make as a team. Using Quip helps to keep members of the team constantly updated and in-the-know.

Quip serves less of a purpose when it comes to sharing documents outside of an internal group. Anyone who uses Quip in any sort of capacity, should have an account created by the admin.

Document Collaboration SuperTool!!

December 13, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Quip across groups specifically around Sales and IT. We implemented it to capture our account plans as a collaborative tool. We also found it to be useful for tracking projects, meeting notes and other documents that use multiple mediums and require collaboration/sharing. Quip makes document sharing easy, fun to work with and essential to teams.

Pros

Collaboration across teams on documents.
Version and change control.

Cons

Better integration with Powerpoint.
From printing to PDF with full support.

Likelihood to Recommend

Quip is an excellent tool when more than 1 person needs to work on a document at the same time. Collaborating on slides, or documents like notes, deal discussions, account plans, project plans, etc. The ability to store a document across multiple folders so it's easily accessible to others and individually sharing it to a wide or limited audience.

June 23, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Quip is being leveraged as a collaboration tool across my company to drive better connectivity and efficiency. We primarily use the docs feature, but have also experimented in project management and dash-boarding. The tool is easy to use and fairly streamlined.

Pros

Synchronizes files to a central online portal.
Empowers collaboration across the company.
Drives accountability through collaborative features.
Clean, simple, easy-to-use interface.
Integrates with single-sign-on.

Cons

Better branding to make the tool feel on more respective to a company's brand.
Could use some Powerpoint and Excel-like features, to be more competitive with Google's products.
Better charting.

Likelihood to Recommend

Quip enables productivity and collaboration for companies small and big. It's easy to use, intuitive and stable. It's got great collaboration features that really drive efficiency and accountability. I recommend it for the aforementioned use cases. It's not as strong with charting, slides, Excel, and complex visualizations as some other tools on the market.
