Quip Software

Pros

Quip has great integration, it's a great platform for project management and customer service is great.

Cons

It doesn't have enough security from my point of view. The desktop app has no security at all and I think that they should change the way information within the app is accessed.

Pros

The most useful aspect of Quip is its simplicity. It's easy to comment and it's easy to change and see changes and revert to previous versions

Cons

The only small complaint I have is that the text formatting controls are a bit limited.The other problem is how Quip doesn't work well with PDF's. It takes a long time to upload them.

Quip is Perfect for small team, if your team need on time word or excel collaboration, the UI is beautiful and easy for use, and for small teams, it's totally free.

Pros

Best choice for word collaboration.

Cons

Optimization need for Chinese doc editing, especially when Chinese docs output to PDF files

Advice to Others

Should not miss this SAAS, if you need online doc collaboration.

being able to make 'to do' lists, view, update and share them constantly within the company as well as external companies and suppliers.

Pros

I like the fact that multiple people can see all information and edit without things getting lost. it also has some useful features.

Cons

its not particularly attractive, not a major concern but it just looks outdated. It would also benefit from a 'help' button being available for all users all the time.

Would be great to have spreadsheets download into Excel format. Great addition of adding pictures to notes.

Quip provides unique ability to create, edit and share highly customized documents/spreadsheets. Quip doesn't have a structure to follow for project management, so it requires a lot of upfront time commitment and development. However, after creating the needed documents and templates, it is the perfect tool.
Specifically, great to use for mind-mapping, checklists, embedded spreadsheets/tracking.

Pros

Integrates with Google Drive, version control, file attachment, collaboration, custom templates, slack integration, flexibility, permissions control, great interface, easy to use

Cons

No internal task delegation/planning features, no report building

Advice to Others

Give it a try, it is well worth the money and provides flexibility for a whole range of projects and tasks.

A Beautiful and easy-to-use app that makes it easy to take notes, collaborate on documents, and keep all of my work in one place. Quip is indispensable to my day-to-day.

Pros

Beautiful design. Incredibly easy to use. Love it all.

Cons

Nothing.

Advice to Others

Looking forward to seeing how Salesforce integrates Quip into their platform!

Quip brings team messaging, document creating and editing in one service. It's fast and easy to setup. Great option for small teams who need a tool now.

I love the UI for this software. It's very user friendly and a breeze to use. Like the history thread that shows on the side and the hover formatting options.

I've spent a lot of time navigating the endless world of Google productivity tools and at times I'm met with more frustration than productivity, mostly related to scale and having a large number of contributors. Quip makes that easy with a sleek canvas feel and an easy-on-the-eyes way of organizing. Sometimes less is more and I've found that simple has boosted productivity for myself and my teams and collaboration is at an all-time high. The one drawback I have is somewhat of a challenge: when collaboration and comments spike there should be a better way to filter through the noise, as it can get a bit stifling keeping track of all the conversations. Thread/forum type implementation perhaps?

Pros

Sleek look, ease of use, organization

Cons

Filtering/presentation of comments/collaboration, lack of slide deck feature

Advice to Others

get it right away

Quip is my team's go to utility for writing documents together. Google Docs is probably one of the most well known cloud based document editors that facilitates collaboration between team members. However, its collaborative elements always seemed tacked on. You can tell that Quip was built to be a team writing tool from the ground up.

Pros

Ease of use. It's "stupid easy" to invite people to collaborate on a document. Comments are a breeze. Paragraphs auto-lock when you are editing them to avoid confusion. You can track your team members usage.

Cons

I wish that reviewing, version control, and security were stronger.

The inclusion of approval processes and flows would be extremely welcome.

Advice to Others

Try it out! It's so easy.

This might not be the tool of choice for a large org with very detailed processes, but it is probably perfect for your team to get together (online) to write something.

Quip was very easy to learn - It's a great tool for collaboration, but for example, spreadsheets are easier to work with in other programs.

It's good feature make quip noticeable for salesforce. And user interface and usability is at its best

Quip has nice features like integration with excel and all, but its UI is terrible. I have user Slack before and would love to go back.

Quip is easy to use, with greater functionality and visibility to most collaboration cloud software. I like the way you can see historical info.

We were looking for an easy way to share a work log with an outside vendor that we could quickly set up, spend no budget, that would automatically notify someone when they were assigned a line. This tool was perfect.

It is a great software to work with. I had a wonderful experience using it. Very easy to use and share files

Pros

Live discussion about uploaded materials.

Cons

Some file formats are not supported

Advice to Others

Must accept all file formats.

i think i will use quip, and leave gitbook. : )
next time maybe we will ask for a keynote more

Pros

markdown

Cons

slackbot

Advice to Others

custom css to doc page?

Quip is a nice way to work on documents in a team, but some important features are still missing. It's pretty easy to create folders, documents and edit them in a team but tracking the overall status is complicated. You can create task-lists but there is no connection to the real documents so tracking progress is rather complicated. Functionalities to set the document status, assign it to team member and tracking progress would be a big plus.

Pros

- Great document collaboration
- Simple and intuitive

Cons

- Too much focus on chat and commenting, but no proper way to indicate a document status
- No task assignments
- Document overview is confusing, sorting options only in list view

Advice to Others

- No automatic task lists
- A board link Kanban to indicate document status would be perfect
- Idea board

Nice product. Chat tech support was very helpful.

Pros

Intuitive navigation.

Cons

Small learning curve.
