Quip vs Nifty: Which is a better fit?

Chris: Hi, I'm Chris. I'm a Content Strategist. I give Quip three out of five. For more reviews like this, click the link below. Before Quip, my team was largely using Outlook as a method of communication and collaboration. Quip's features helped us to improve our collaboration and working on projects at the same time. Some of the reasons why we chose Quip is because it works from the cloud. It allows us to add members to our team. We can assign permissions to them. We can collaborate in real time. We can also house internal documentation, such as style guides, all kinds of information that we want to keep within the team. Using Quip was very easy. Having worked with other applications, there was a lot of Quip's features that were very familiar to us. Being able to message with one another in chat, being able to share documents, being able to collaborate on those documents were all features that we enjoyed when we used Quip. For anyone considering Quip, I recommend making use of the documentation that Quip provides users so that you can better understand all of its features. One of the things that we discovered is that Quip has a lot of features to offer, and using that documentation that they provide made us aware of features that we wouldn't have known otherwise.

Aryana R.: Hi, I'm Aryana, the founder of a coaching and training company, and I give Nifty a four out of five. I was working in Basecamp, and I found it hard to navigate. When I was looking for something, I'd spend a lot of time trying to find that post or that document, and it was frustrating. I decided to go with Nifty. One, the pricing. It was better than anything else that I'd looked at. I also liked it was more intuitive, and it was like I was looking at a desktop, not just this blank screen. I was able to put my calendar in there, my team members, alert people easily. It had kind of this feeling of a dashboard that was modifiable. My team and I are still working on onboarding. I found that this is what I do as a business owner is I get my team to do, "How does this all work?" Then they teach me how to do it. I would say we really ran at it very quickly and we got some projects in there. I was really impressed as we were doing it. Then things got busy, so we started to go back to Google Docs. Interestingly, just yesterday, I was like, "I'm done Google docs. I'm done emails back and forth. I need to get us using Nifty again." I started to put some projects in, some task lists. There's something really satisfying about that, when you can be like, "Tick it off. I did it." If you're considering Nifty, I suggest doing their free trial, if they still have it, and really give it a robust, try. Get your team members working in it and put an entire project in. It's going to help you because you can still use the content if you decide not to continue with their trial, but that's one thing that I wished I'd done when I was researching is just give it a good solid test because then once you do commit to it, you're going to stick with it and you're going to use it fully.
