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.

  • Quip's user interface is friendly and comfortably navigable; it feels right.

  • 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.
