Overall Satisfaction with Quip
Quip is being used across the entire organization. Sales, CS, leadership, engineering, everyone. This was a way for our company to replace Google Docs, because many had qualms with Google Docs and its capabilities and organization. This was a great way to categorize and include other team members in day to day data and logging of notes.
Pros
- Easy to search for docs (better than Google Docs)!
- Great for logging information (data, notes, etc.) and roping in the members of the team that need to see the notes/add comments or add points to the doc (very collaborative).
Cons
- Oddly - formatting was really difficult sometimes with Quip and it got frustrating.
- Wish it would segment teams better and only send me emails of things that were relevant to me, not what engineering was doing (I was in sales).
- Again, I was not the buyer so this is hard to say.
- What needs to be compared is Google Docs and Quip - if your company is looking to cut costs and uses Quip this seems like an easy choice. Yes, it's better, but you must figure out if the ROI is worth it.
Quip was much better. I often have difficulty formatting Google Docs the way I'd like and especially searching for what I need. Sometimes in Google Docs I'll search the exact title of something I'm searching for and it will not appear. That's not an issue with Quip.
