Quip Reviews

Pros and cons of Quip

Comments: Overall experience with Quip is great anyone has task scheduling and task management requirements then can surely opt this service

Pros:

Two most used and liked features from our team is task scheduling and task management because we as development team don't wanna focus much on managing stuffs along with it the kind of authenticity with access controls management provided by Quip is commendable.

Cons:

The interface where we handles stuff is sometimes bit fishy to understand and navigation are confusing at times other than that billing concepts are bit complicated too other than that all in all good platform to work with

When using Salesforce, Quip is a great tool for working together

Comments: The team can make a document of any kind and work on it together. Thus, we rely on it to efficiently record a wide variety of information. The quip app also allows us to exchange entire folders of documents if necessary.

Pros:

In order to make reference to external services or data in Quip, you may simply type a @ symbol before their handle. The @ symbol has many uses, such as mentioning people or adding a time stamp or date. In addition, you will receive a reminder at the specified time.

Cons:

Setting up Quip and getting the most out of it can be challenging; the optimum use is in conjunction with the Salesforce product, so you're limited if you're using a different CRM.

Have a solid foundation or don’t use

Comments: Switching to confluence because it’s just too limited and chaotic for our companies use

Pros:

I like the straightforward means of creating a document. It makes for a lot of sameness and alignment across different teams. I like the kaban feature

Cons:

I find myself irritated when trying to change between bulleting and not bulleting. It tends to change my font. I don’t like that I can add bullets in a sheet/cell. Kaban is limited as are all the brainstorming features. Notifications often get lost. Can’t connect engineering tickets to documents in a good way. If your company doesn’t start with a solid and clear foundation in terms of documentation management, you’re screwed

All your info access anywhere. Collaborate with your team and those on your external team.

Comments: I am quite happy with it. The fact that everything is there and it's secure and I'm always adding to it makes it more valuable for me and my team every day. Especially when I can pull up costs or ideas when out and about.

Pros:

The way it easily works on mobile and on desktop and you get notifications as soon as someone has done something. Ease of linking documents in chats Having everything available in one place so you don't lose things and get others up to speed quickly. Ability to easily lock people out of the use of a document or not.

Cons:

Sometimes it's hard to find an item if you clearly don't label it in the title. - Access to support is a lot harder since Salesforce bought it over. You now have to log in to Salesforce fill in a form to get the support, before you could message support within Quip.

Quip is like Google Docs combined with Apple Notes

Comments: A really great notetaking app. I can take notes on my android phone or iPhone and it syncs right to my mac. And it's very easy to keep organized. All the collaboration features are just cherry on top.

Pros:

Super easy to use like Apple notes. Easy to view at a glance. Unlike Google Docs which things tend to get lost in. Google docs' dashboard is just weird compared to apple notes.

Cons:

Running on windows the app seems to take a lot of RAM and my computer heats up quickly. Considering it's a notes app, it should be more lightweight.

A Step Up from Trello

Pros:

We were using Trello because it was so customizable and easy to use. But as our business grew, we needed more workflow options. Quip was just right for where we were at the time. It had documents and sheets built right into the platform, which saved time and kept us more organized. I especially loved the interface design.

Cons:

If you have a lot of different workflows, projects, clients, and team members, Quip might eventually begin to fall short. I'd graduate to ClickUp if I needed more customization options.

Review for Quip

Comments: I am enjoying this tool, and Quip has managed to stand out in this heavily competitive field of online collaboration.

Pros:

Quip UI is really smooth, and feels new! it has a good functionality to provide the revision history for the document, which I think is very useful. When multiple folks are simultaneously editing the same document, the revision history for each line provides a very nice view of who changed what. Additionally, Quip has a chat tool embedded in its UI. I use this often to communicate with other folks who are working on the same project.

Cons:

I dont have a strong dislike for any of the features, but perhaps one point was it takes significant time for a new guy to get to to speed with the tool and understand all the intricate details. Perhaps the on boarding proceed can be better

The idea is a great one (the execution is another story...)

Pros:

I like that Quip is all about getting teams united around content creation. It has some great features but overall it feels like it's missing something to make it easier for the content to go from within Quip to its final destination (webpage, for example).

Cons:

It has all these great features, but it getting it from Quip to wherever it needs to go seems like it was as well thought out. I also experience some situations where the version control goes a little haywire from time to time.

An amazing platform to track your ideas

Comments: We use quip to track our updates, design documents etc and it has proven to be a really powerful platform for the same.

Pros:

1. I love quip as its the only good version controlled platform for taking notes that I have found in my industry experience of over 5 years. 2. Its easy to create public/private versions. I could easily create documents that are public (i.e. outside the firm) and private to me. 3. It is so easy to mark your favorite folders and share it across teams. 4. Its fast. I have found Google Docs to be a bit slower than quip. 5. You could easily import the content into a wiki or a word document with all the formatting intact. 6. You can create an excel sheet (or multiple sheets) in quip itself. 7. Onboarding and gettting used to the platform is really easy.

Cons:

1. It behaves odd when creating tables and adding pictures (like indentation sometimes screws up). 2. If you are looking for a platform to create animated documents, quip might not be your friend. It supports basic data representation objects like tables, pictures, worksheets but if you want audio etc, you want to goto powerpoint.

Powerful collaboration tool

Comments: Productivity, Collaboration, Central repository.

Pros:

I use quip mainly to organize my work and collaborate with my team members in documenting feature requirements. Product feature requirements are dynamic - in that, they change often. The ability to have one central location from where all of us can access it makes this a huge time saver for all. It also prevents unnecessary emails as users can chat / comment directly on quip. It also has the ability to create private folders which I use to store work in progress ideas and the ability to restrict access to some files / folders to specific people.

Cons:

Quip requires the internet and often I forget that I have to be connected to save changes. Although it has the ability to add spreadsheets, I don't use it much. Also, have noticed when I copy paste code into code-blocks, the pasted content does not fit within the default page-width, but creates a horizontal scroll-bar within the code-block. It's a bit of an irritant to correct that every time.

Good tool

Pros:

It is a very versatile book, it is an effective tool for monitoring team work

Cons:

I haven't had any problems with Quip, I use it well

A fantastic collaboration tool for medium to large sized teams

Comments: Overall my experience has been very positive. Using quip makes the process of writing and sharing documentation a lot more painless and enjoyable. The sleek and responsive UI garners a much better feeling when using the product over others such as the Google suite. It's also fairly functional and I didn't feel like it was lacking any features that I needed.

Pros:

The ability to easily create and share different types of files such as documents, presentations, spreadsheets etc. and then collaborate on them with the team. The UI feels incredibly smooth and responsive and just feels pleasant to use. The preset formatting options makes life a lot easier when writing up larger documents as it makes documentation pleasant to look at. Able to export documents into their appropriate formats for local download if necessary. Finally, the fact that quip maintains a record of all changes, allowing you to go back to previous states is tremendously useful in case of mistakes etc.

Cons:

It would be nice if in addition to having preset formatting options, we had control over being able to completely customize formatting. Better control over editing photos that have been pasted into a document in quip would also be better. Currently, you cannot completely control the size or position. It would be better if I could place an image whereever I wanted and size it however I liked instead of in its current state where I can only place it in specific quadrants in the content body.

Quip - a super nice collaboration tool

Comments: To be simple, we really like this easy to use collaboration tool.

Pros:

So easy to collaboration with colleagues, and for family. Get everything together rather than individual files everywhere. "Word", "Excel", "Powerpoint" lite versions, so easy to use, whatever you want. With google account integration. No hassle for account management. You certainly don't expect it to be super powerful, but it is good enough for our purpose.

Cons:

Logic of files arrangement a bit confusing. If you are coming from traditional file system. You may need sometime to get used to it. Moving files around is not that easy, especially if you want to manage multiple files at the same time. It used to be annoying that recent editing panel shows up every time you open the application. Recent updates fix this problem.

Best docu-sharing tool for a team

Comments: I would highly recommend Quip to any team needing to collaborate on a lot of documents. It keeps us extremely organized, we love the workflow features, and communication tools. We have tried using Google Drive in the past and have STRUGGLED with the shotty navigation and lack of tagging/communication options. Quip is exponentially better than any other docu-sharing tool we've used!

Pros:

Simple user interface and easy to onboard my employees. Quip keeps us very organized and is great for tagging each other in comments and collaborating in single documents. They have a number of workflow features that we've used several times to help manage project timelines, etc. I also love that I can share links to documents so clients can pop in and review without having to be added as a full user. We've reached out to customer support several times, especially during the onboarding process, and they have always been extremely helpful.

Cons:

Notifications are a little overwhelming and difficult to manage. Very rarely we've had issues with pages not updating or saving, especially when there is a lot of text that has been copy/pasted.

Google Docs on Steroids

Comments: 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.

Quip a good alternative to Google product offerings

Comments: For collaborative document sharing, editing and creation, Quip is a solid choice especially if you rely on integration with Salesforce data.

Pros:

My favorite feature of Quip is the tight integration with Salesforce CRM, allowing easy importing and viewing of Salesforce data directly in your Quip documents and sheets.

Cons:

Quip seems like a work-in-progress, with many new versions being released on a weekly basis, always playing catch-up with Google Docs/Sheets and Microsoft Office 365.

Fantastic for Small Project Management and Collaboration

Comments: 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

All in One Office Suite with Focus on Collaboration

Pros:

Quip provides you to create many kinds of documents under one roof. Not only text document, but also everything else from spreadsheets to presentation slides, and more. It also supports collaboration with others.

Cons:

It requires more than one step just to access your folders. It might be a design decision, but it's not a friendly one.

Very useful product for documentation

Pros:

I love that you can share documentation with friends easily. You can make any type of document in quip. The function that i like most is freezing column and rows.

Cons:

Sometimes it is hard to undo your action for example by mistake if you delete anything in a doc, the normal undo command does not work.

Real-time collaborative writing tool

Comments: I used to have to switch between a lot of different programs to work on documents, but now I can do it all with Quip. I used to have to switch between a lot of different programs to work on documents, but now I can do it all with Quip.

Pros:

I have used many different tools to complete my work and Quip is one of the best. I use Quip to write documents, spreadsheets, and conduct my research. I use Quip's chat feature to communicate with my coworkers and clients. Quip's collaboration feature is great! It allows me to easily share my documents with my clients and teammates.

Cons:

I have nothing to complain about using this product.

Quip in a warehouse

Pros:

Very easy to work with, great for collaboration

Cons:

I know I don't use everything it can do, would like to learn more and implement more features for the team

Quip is a great tool to create and edit documents online.

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.

BEST toothbrush out there!

Pros:

I love that they mail the new battery and brush head to me every 3 months, so easy to keep up with and make sure that I have a clean, functioning toothbrush.

Cons:

The toothbrush head is sometimes hard to pull off, but not too bad. Once I figured it out it was pretty easy to do.

Quip Review

Comments: I prefer other collaboration tools, but if you just need to share a large file or collaborate with a few other people, it does the job.

Pros:

It's great for real-time editing, you can see the history of the document edits and who made each change, and it's easy to organize in folders and share with a specific group of people with specified permissions. Since it's cloud-based, I like using it for collaboration and sharing large files.

Cons:

Quip is not easy to navigate. I think the UI is missing basic functionality. It is hard to revert to an old version or it can get slow if too many people are using it at once. I prefer Google Docs.

Quip - what is it good for?

Comments: Meh - add it to the growing list of tools that sort of replace other tools, but not in any "wow" kind of way.

Pros:

I like that you can do a lot with this software - track spreadsheets, documents, share notes/comments and other collaboration.

Cons:

It's hard to find things - even when I favorite things it is hard to find where your favorites are listed. Also, the collaboration is a little tricky; and how should we use this? Replace google docs, or MS Excel/Word?
