About Quip

Quip is a team collaboration solution which combines document and spreadsheet creation and editing with chat and commenting capabilities, to allow teams to communicate about tasks and projects directly while working on them.

Quip enables users to create and edit documents, spreadsheets, and checklists collaboratively in real time, through the ‘Smart Inbox’ interface, with the ability to filter and star documents to speed up searching. Document revisions are stored so users can track changes, and annotations can be added to spreadsheets and documents. Finished tasks can be checked off on the checklist, keeping all team members informed of which tasks have been completed.

Rather than communicating by email, users can chat directly within a document, with inbuilt 1:1 personal messaging and the ability to comment on any content. @mentions also allow users to direct teammates to individual spreadsheet cells, or insert items such as images and code into documents. User-controlled notifications keep team members updated on any messages or mentions.

Quip works across desktop and mobile, with native iOS and Android apps, and with offline functionality, users can work on documents on the go, with changes being updated whenever there is an internet connection.


Key benefits of Quip

  • Communicate directly within each document or spreadsheet, with direct messaging, commenting, and @mentions.

  • ‘Smart Inbox’ to manage documents, with folder for organizing content.

  • User permissions can be assigned at the group level, or for individual folders.

  • Mobile apps and offline functionality allow users to work on the go, with changes syncing whenever there is an internet connection.

  • Import from and export to Google Drive, Office, Evernote, and more.

    Overall, at work I often prefer Quip over the Sharepoint. The interface is easy to use and allows the largest amount of collaboration and sharing for what we need.

    Pros

    Quip has all the features we need to collaborate as a team, take quick notes, organize data into tables, charts, etc.

    Cons

    The font style feature changes the font for the entire page, so you can't change the font for separate words or sections.

    Quip is my one app to create, organize, and collaborate in almost all kinds of documents.

    Reviewed on 2018/05/25

    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.

    Great tool for quick notes and easy access but not a tool I'd recommend to use over Google Drive or Microsoft Office.

    Pros

    Quip is a great tool to use for your team when quickly brainstorming and jotting down ideas. It strips itself of unnecessary formatting/UI options and provides you a clean slate to work smarter.

    Cons

    While Quip is easy to use, using Quip as a main tool to create spreadsheets or documents is not something I recommend. Exporting a Quip spreadsheets to Excel will export all the information over but leaves you with a lot of manual formatting and editing and becomes unreliable when needing to export something on the fly. This could be fixed if the "Save to PDF" function worked properly, but alas, saving to a PDF does not allow you to format properly and will include the Header rows and columns into the PDF - thus not allowing you to send clean, concise information over to colleagues.

    I would recomend it to any company in which the strenght is speed and team working.

    Pros

    If you are in a team and you have a bunch of Excels, PDFs and so on, this is the right software for you.
    You can have multiple users that can view and modify (you can set up permissions for that) your work while you are working on it. Very easy to use.
    You can save your files offline too
    Tried the iOS application , it works like a charm, no bugs at all. Obviously if you have a larger file, it will be difficult to read the entire document in the smartphone

    Cons

    Sometimes the application crashed, but since the saves are frequent you don't lose your current work.

    We have increased the productivity of our employees and thus our core goal of high productivity is achieved.

    Pros

    We really like Quip the way it is built as the platform itself acts as a source to maintiain all the tools like docs, chat etc. in this single app itself. Quip is the best way to manage all the different tabs under one window. The major hike is with the single window system where all the needed plugins are added and can be managed. Quip is the one and only platform to simplify the user burden of maintaining multiple apps and multiple windows.

    Cons

    The UI is very hard to understand at the first time and for newcomers.
