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

Jose Raya
Senior ASP.NET Software Developer in Engineering at Scopic Software (201-500 employees employees)

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.

Return on Investment

  • It is a tool that allows work teams to move forward in a centralized way and meet their objectives as efficiently as possible; this has allowed us to meet our customers and brought more work to the organization, therefore more revenue; I would say that the ROI was fast enough, as expected.
