Quip Software

We used to use this to write our staff meeting agenda, and take notes as the meeting progressed. I have also used it for document creation for personal business.

Pros

Ability to create different kinds of documents. Ability to share with multiple people. Being able to use on multiple devices.

Cons

It could at times be difficult to undo sharing.

Pros

Quip's UI and UX are professional and slick

Cons

After purchasing and installing Quip on mobile, I never used it and did not find a single instance where using Quip would be more helpful or compelling compared to G Suite

Pros

Seems like Quip is pitching to get you to drop a couple of commonly used collaboration/comms apps and replace it with their hybrid . In fact the integration to get you into it from Slack using SSO is slick - and though the task organising feature has less functionality that other similar tools - it makes up by integration with the comms/chat elements

Cons

The long list of extension apps, though potentially hugley powerful, a bit mindboggling and might send you back to the separate components - though it seems worth some trialling

Pros

Ease of use
Look and feel
UI and Navigation

Cons

Can add few more features to add diagrams

Pros

The UI is incredible and I love some of the cool features that you can insert into a document. This product is great for collaborating with others. The comments section is perfect for letting others know what you think. It's nice to store all your documents in one place that is easy to use.

Cons

Sometimes the formatting gets messed up and doesn't have as much functionality as I'd like to see.

Pros

Seamless connect and collaboration with co workers, creating workflows, sharing info.

Cons

Web version and App work differently than each other

In my experience, I've really enjoyed using Quip to easily house documents and spreadsheets with a friendly and easy to use interface.

Pros

Quip is a great tool to use for collaborative work. Often times, my team would have to share multiple versions of the same spreadsheet, but with Quip, you can see real-time updates from colleagues and communicate all within the app.

Cons

While it is great for collaboration, the tool becomes glitchy when it contains a large amount of data. There have been instances of lost work due to inability to save changes. If you are working with large spreadsheets with multiple tabs, it could become too much for the tool to handle.

We have rolled Quip out to multiple departments and teams over the past few years.

Pros

Continuing improvement in the feature set. The software was good when we started using it 2.5 years ago. However, the improvements continually made month after month have really made the product shine. We really get use out of the full index/searching capability.

Cons

A few basic things that would mimmic Excel functionality, like the ability to freeze columns on mobile, or hide rows/columns on both the desktop and mobile.

So far Quip has been useful when it comes to collaborating on writing outlines for projects that require more than one person.

Pros

You can set collaboration with as many or as few people as you want.

Cons

Sometimes the app will act out a little, and it could always use more features.

At the end of the day, I would suggest you look into using Google Docs over Quip as it seems to be another system that does not communicate with any other formats, and can be a very frustrating system as a user.

Pros

This software is great in theory - allows for teams to connect and share working documents with live updates. It is fairly straight forward to use, and allowing multiple users to read and edit the documents at the same time is helpful.

Cons

This software constantly updates - I have yet to open this software without there being a system update needed (and therefore a restart). Beyond that, you cannot export the documents built into quip into any other format (Excel being the most critical). Some of the tasks are far more difficult than they should be - even changing the font requires multiple click through menus.

Pros

Quip is a pretty fun collaboration tool. It's like other chat tools, but with an emphasis on sharing and collaborating on docs in real time. Some of the tools, such as project trackers and calendars, are super helpful tools and it makes accessing them super convenient.

Cons

Some of the chat tools aren't up to speed. For example, no built-in searchable gifs. Maybe that's to help productivity, but they're still fun to have. In general, there don't seem to be as many built-in integrations as Slack.

Pros

1. Ease of use.
2. Shared spreadsheets are incredibly functional and helpful.
3. Keyboard shortcuts are amazing.
4. Beautiful UI design and user friendly.
5. Import export functionalities are really good.

Cons

1. No Task delegation features.
2. Sometimes a little slow.
3. No reporting feature.
4. A little less mobile friendly.

If you use Salesforce it is a no-brainer to get Quip. It makes acting on data from your Org quick and easy without having to flip between multiple applications or windows.

Pros

What I enjoy most about this tool is the ability to pull information from Salesforce to help with planning. It allows me to create lovely collaborative documents with live information from Salesforce. This makes the project standup quick and easy.

Cons

I have a very nitpicky con but as a daily excel user, I wish the spreadsheet functions had an easier to use interface. It feels hard to do easy things like changing the format of a column.

The secure single sign on for our organization

Pros

I like that it's secure but its not that intuitive or easy to use. I wish it were because the security is a good feature.

Cons

Links aren't easy to copy and formatting options are lacking. It's not as easy to use as Google which we can all pick up fast.

overall company organization in one central location

Pros

Ease of making changes to data and info, ease of removing changes, central locations for all employees to view. Easy to organize data and documents as well.

Cons

The app could use some improvement in ways things are organized. I would hope that these changes will come in time to make it as easy as the online version.

Pros

The checklisting ability in text is brilliant and helps me to write effective checklists which I can later tick off and check I have done visually.

Cons

Formatting spreadsheets within pages can be quite painful. It doesn't resize correctly and you can often spend a lot of time fighting the formatting.

Pros

It's very easy to collaborate on a document. You just add people to it. All the changes are logged so you can see all the things that happen to your document. You can also create all kinds of documents on Quip, from the everyday text document and spreadsheet to the specific kanban board and project tracker (with a little help from Live apps).

Cons

The app lacks the ability to add tags - which will be very helpful to further organize the documents. It also doesn't hurt to add the font-customization feature so that users can set the look and feel of the working environment to their liking.

Pros

-Very easy to use even at the first time
-0 delay at collaboration
-nice mini apps for documents
-good integration of comments with chat function

Cons

-inconsistent user interface (document and tables)
-no formating in the pop-up menu for tables
-very bad upgrade utility on Mac (it tends to fall back to earlier version and stops sync - support gives no help to resolve)

Pros

Using Quip, it became easy and quick to create documents. The work in the tables is now possible in the team, and now you do not need to send the document to your colleague every time and wait for his corrections, and then also receive it by mail. There is a chat room that allows you to edit documents together. This function helps your work and communication, and also saves a lot of time. Documents made in Quip will be synchronized in one cloud where they can be quickly found, so now we are not afraid to lose them.

Cons

There are a few bugs that you need to fix the development team. I ran into several hangs and crashes when using it, but fortunately, I did not lose any of my work, which pleased me very much. I would like that this did not happen again.

Pros

Quip enable me collaborate on documents in real time with my colleagues.Unlike other document collaboration programs,I am able to chat in real time with my fellow collaborators about the document we are collaborating on.

Cons

While I am able to edit documents by myself offline.To collaboratively edit documents,I have to be online and this requires a stable internet connection.
