May 27, 2021 5.0 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. Alternatives considered [Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/)[Evernote Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/154969/Evernote-Business/) Reason for choosing Quip I got a year trial through app sumo and haven't looked back. Besides, it will be harder to leave now as I have so much content on the platform. Switched from [Evernote Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/154969/Evernote-Business/) More features. Price. Better security. Review Source KG Kreasan G. Jnr HR Business Partner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quip has it all. The benefits are endless." December 4, 2023 5.0 Quick integration and implementation. Very profound Services and smart results. I create documents and share them with ease and enjoyment. Pros Quip has a unique treatment that unites every department building a conclusively focused team fit to deliver on the goals and objectives of the company. I have been able to share documents and tasks while keeping communication at top notch. Furthermore, Quip is problem easiest to use software yet the capabilities are way beyond expectations. I am a happy user. Cons Quip is user friendly and reliable. It has helped us work as a team achieving goals faster and accurately. I have not experienced a single downside of it. Switched from [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/)[LibreOffice](https://www.capterra.com/p/158981/LibreOffice/)[Wrike](https://www.capterra.com/p/76113/Wrike/) Quip has incredible and incomparable features that places it on the lead.

Manager Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Look elsewhere, not the best doc management platform out there" June 26, 2025 2.0 It works sometimes, but not the best tool out there for collaborative editing. There are much more effective tools out there Pros It’s got decent collaborative editing features, and has good options for sharing and protecting and organizing docs Cons One of the most buggy basic features like spreadsheets, copying code in and out of the quip, image management etc Switched from [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) Forced to by the company. Not really needed to Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Chevron Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good integration with other tools." May 10, 2024 4.0 I develop and review engineering technical specifications, operations manuals and policy documents, ensuring they are up-to-date and accessible to everyone involved. Additionally, I use Quip to create and monitor project schedules, assign tasks and track progress. The personalized dashboards allow me to quickly see the status of various projects, I think I can finally say that it has been a favorable program on my team. Pros Quip allows my team and I to work simultaneously on the same document. This is crucial when we are developing technical specifications or planning projects, as it allows for instant synchronization and reduces misunderstandings or duplication of effort. The integration with other tools is very cool, we take advantage of it a lot at Chevron, we use several software applications for different purposes. Quip integrates well with other tools like Salesforce, allowing us to access and compile information efficiently without having to constantly switch platforms. Cons Although Quip is excellent for text collaboration, I sometimes find that the formatting and editing options are a little limited compared to other more robust document editing tools like Microsoft Word or Google Docs, I think this perhaps with a little more development from them would be great. Switched from [Zoho People](https://www.capterra.com/p/110931/Zoho-People/) It was too expensive, had many errors in billing and unforeseen charges. Review Source Aman Preet S. Developer Biotechnology Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pros and cons of Quip" February 17, 2023 4.0 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 Alternatives considered [Coda](https://www.capterra.com/p/193164/Coda/)[Dropbox Sign](https://www.capterra.com/p/144797/HelloSign/) Reason for choosing Quip Didn't meet the current requirements as we wanted in terms of task management and workflow management.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer VP, Community and Learning Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Seems to be intentionally limiting" April 30, 2024 1.0 From a collaboration perspective, its pretty smooth/easy - but the biggest challenges are the organization of all of these random documents and integration with working with other platforms (namely content from Microsoft apps) Pros The ability to quickly create new documents, add others, and collaborate is good. You can quickly tag/add users, and have a good trust in its access controls. Cons Quip's ability to work with data from other applications is my #1 biggest gripe. Like most normal humans, my workflows and processes don't exist in a single app... I work across applications. If you try to copy text from a powerpoint or from one-note to quip, it gets pasted in as an image. If you take that same text, and put it in a notepad document first, then paste it in, it pastes as text. It would appear that an intentional decision was made at quip with how they choose to interface with Microsoft platforms - which is beyond infuriating as a user. After much searching online, there appears to be no way to correct this from a settings perspective. Switched from [Confluence](https://www.capterra.com/p/136446/Confluence/) Wasn't my choice - my organization switched. Quip is far better than Confluence when it comes to access control and easily sharing documents, but is far worse when it comes to the organization of said documents (shared with others) and integration with other platforms Review Source Krishna L. Human Resources Generalist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "When using Salesforce, Quip is a great tool for working together" January 23, 2023 4.0 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. Switched from [Notion](https://www.capterra.com/p/186596/Notion/) Quip is a platform for coordinating business activities, such as sharing documents and organizing team workflows. I utilize it in place of a Google Doc or other centralized repository for data that might normally be in a file cabinet, inbox, or elsewhere. Review Source Amber S. Social Media Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Step Up from Trello" August 1, 2022 4.0 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. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) We were scaling our business and needed more customization options. It was an easier switch for employees because it used the same "board" view as Trello. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Engineer Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review for Quip" August 29, 2019 4.0 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 Switched from [Confluence](https://www.capterra.com/p/136446/Confluence/) As I mentioned before, the unique features of showing the line by line edit history, ability to chat real time, and the overall better UI as well as UX made it a no brainer to switch.

RevOps Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good sync w/ SFDC but not as comprehensive as other products" May 5, 2025 4.0 Quip is great because it's owned by Salesforce and has integrations. However, features are less than other similar platforms. Pros Quip is great for knowledge sharing and can integrate with Salesforce, which our sales team lives in. Login to Quip can also be setup w/ SSA. Cons Quip's knowledge sharing features are limited compared to Box or Google Drive. The formatting abilities and aesthetics are also limited compared to other options. Review Source CG Cesar G. Sr. QA Automation Engineer Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great tool to manage all kind of work processes" November 4, 2024 5.0 A great tool to manage all kind of work processes Pros its easy way to create and edit documents across big size teams. Cons Its internal spreadsheet is still missing some excel functions which would be great to have Review Source NS Nathan S. Digital Marketing Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Quip's An Alternative to Google Docs and Slack" July 18, 2019 4.0 I tested Quip as part of a team effort to find a collaborative tool that we could incorporate across the board. Over the 6 month period that I tested it, I found that while it was functional for the most part as a lot of things, it failed in key areas that we would need it to work including handling large spreadsheets, edit history and connectivity issues. However the price and slow functionality when it comes to bigger documents/spreadsheets leaves much to be desired and as such, it may not be ideal for anyone but bigger organizations that want to cut off multiple communication channels and document tools. Overall Quip is a good alternative to Slack & Google Apps. However it leaves some things to be desired in the looks and function department. Pros Quip is a great collaboration tool that is something similar to Slack, Google Docs and Google Sheets all wrapped up into one. My favorite feature is the collaboration tool which allows you to edit documents and discuss them in real time with other users. You can send messages to other users and Quip has a nice way of letting you know whether a user is online or offline. The messages can be sent to individuals and within a group chat setting. When commenting on spreadsheets, you can annotate cell by cell which is something helpful especially if you are reviewing spreadsheets with a lot of information. File management is a charm. You can easily upload shared documents to folders and limit who can see the documents as well as who can edit/view the documents. One gripe about collaboration apps that I have had in the past is the amount of notifications you get if you have multiple people working on documents/projects etc. Quip solves this by giving you the option to prioritize the notifications you want to this. You can also @ specific people which makes communication easier. Similar to Slack, there is an option to notify everyone with an @everyone option to send messages to a whole team. Quip integrates well with Salesforce, so if you are using Salesforce, this is a good option. Cons If you want to test Quip before deciding, you may not like the requirement for a work email. You need constant internet connectivity to make Quip work, if you find yourself in a place where there is no internet, you may be out of luck to use Quip. While Quip is good for communication, editing and collaborating on big spreadsheets slows the app down and you can find it slows down performance. You are better doing light to medium size documents/spreadsheets. When collaborating documents, versioning and edit history are important. It gets hard to revert to an older copy of a document and it can create some confusion if there are a lot of people looking at the same document. Review Source PG Paulo G. Sr. QA Automation Engineer Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great communication and Integration tool" September 3, 2024 5.0 Completelly satisfied with Quip and all integrated tools it has Pros Its easy integration and interaction with all team members. Cons Internal chat capabilities could be better Review Source GM Giacomo M. Communications Manager Facilities Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Reliable Document Management Solution for Us" April 15, 2024 5.0 Pros I have an incredible experience with Quip because it is an easy to use document management solution. Quip is highly reliable. Cons Quip has great features. I do not have dislikes about Quip. Review Source TD Tracy D. Marketing Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use, great for collaborating, aimed at younger professionals" December 12, 2017 4.0 Collaboration, simple cloud-based tool, integration with Salesforce Pros It's super easy to start using and is great for shared documents where you need to have multiple people providing input and updates. I like that two people can be simultaneously working on a document without a problem. Cons My annoyances with this software stem from the features - what is there and what is not there. One of my biggest gripes is that Quip believes it is "distracting and not necessary" (their words) to have the option of changing the color of the text. I disagree. As a business professional for the past 25 years, I can tell you there are instances where you need to color code text. I recently had a huge, very collaborative project that I wanted to base out of Quip and THE ONLY REASON I couldn't use Quip was because it had to be color coded and Quip doesn't do that. I've tried appealing to them but so far, no luck. Yet, one apparently "necessary" feature is that you can add an emoji or animated meme to your comments within a document. Really? And that is more important for business communications? I'm guessing this software is being created by a bunch of millennials. I don't begrudge millenials or the "fun" elements that are included, but give me the useful business functionality we have all become accustomed to over the past couple of decades if you truly want to compete for our word processing and spreadsheet needs. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Tutor E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for smaller groups." December 17, 2018 5.0 Pros I love how Quip allows you to create both shared and private documents. The language feature is really great (i.e. it is completely functional in Spanish). The folder system is really helpful and is easy to be organized, even with different groups. You can comment on the documents, tag people, and even comment on photos. All changes are tracked. Cons Once we got to be a much bigger group, it became less functional because you cannot directly access Google Suite with it. We needed to expand more, and Quip didn't allow for that. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer iTunes Promotions Producer Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Quip review" September 10, 2018 4.0 In my experience, I've really enjoyed using Quip to easily house documents and spreadsheets with a friendly and easy to use interface. Pros Quip is a great tool to use for collaborative work. Often times, my team would have to share multiple versions of the same spreadsheet, but with Quip, you can see real-time updates from colleagues and communicate all within the app. Cons While it is great for collaboration, the tool becomes glitchy when it contains a large amount of data. There have been instances of lost work due to inability to save changes. If you are working with large spreadsheets with multiple tabs, it could become too much for the tool to handle. Review Source lM leslie M. business analyst Law Enforcement Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Why, Why and Why?" May 8, 2019 3.0 I am continuously asking 'why does it do that'? The UI does not behave as expected, it is inconsistent and much of what I produce is achieved through trial-and-error (admittedly, I have not had training in Quip, maybe a training course might help to explain some of my Whys). Examples: Selecting text bottom up produces a different result to selecting text from the top down. Only 1 comment per sentence, even though I can select parts of the sentence. Impossible to figure out what is going on with columns on a page. (Why is there a blue line that extends for 50% of the column?) Why is the folder name listed AFTER the page name? All other applications list a folder structure as Parent folder followed by Child content. And finally, why are the predefined formats so inappropriate and not customizable. Their website states "Quip's emphasis on simplicity and on enabling you to create documents that look beautiful and consistent on any device" Sorry to say that it fails. Bullet points and numbered lists that fill 25% of my column with (yet more) white-space are not beautiful. " Pros Short learning curve. Easy to enter text and pictures. Keeps a history of changes. Organize content by folders. You can chat! Cons Very few features. UI is missing standard functionality. So much wasted white-space. Difficult to navigate and organize because there is no folder structure view. Chat feature does not appear to be related to Quip. (If I want to chat in Quip, I want it to be about specific content, not about the weather or some other totally unrelated topic.) Review Source JI Joby I. CEO Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great way to collaborate " May 10, 2018 5.0 Pros Very easy document creation that live updates to all users as you create them. No more messing around uploading and downloading documents. Documents have lots of options like spreadsheets tables charts, images and other apps that can be inserted into any doc. You can also manage folders and share them with specific groups of people, so you might have a folder for employees which has all your procedures on it and a separate knowledge base for customers. For free its hard to find a better product Cons I would like to see the ability to copy documents between different quip accounts. I'd also like to see direct connections to excel of numbers, to give some more power to some of the features Review Source CE Ciedelle E. IT Support Associate II Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Equipped with Quip!" March 17, 2020 5.0 We use quip to share files among members and teams in our organization and I love how we could easily update and access them from anywhere especially on the mobile as well, it makes collaboration way too easy. Pros The design and layout is superb, I specifically love how you can folders visually and it is attractive. Being able to color code them makes organizing files and projects shared across teams more effective. Cons Not all file types are supported like scripts, I would have to just upload it as a textfile with the scripts if I wanted it on quip. Review Source DS Desirae S. Data Quality Professional Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quip and Quip for Salesforce" July 19, 2018 5.0 Quip is a great addition for any company with its easy to use style of collaboration and flexibility in security and structure. I'd like to see a lot more training videos on how to leverage Quip for things like Project Management to plant those seeds and help companies grow and realize the full potential of this application. Pros Salesforce recently added Quip to it's suite of products and we couldn't be happier. We have been searching for a project management application as well as a solution for sharing documents and data while not housing inside our Salesforce org, due to storage limitations. We see Quip as being that all in one application that can solve many of these needs in our organization. It is powerful, flexible, offers free and paid apps like a project management app and allows for flexibility with security of files and folders. Not to mention the live chat and collaboration features it offers. A great all around solution for anything you can't already solve in your standard Salesforce Org. Cons I have requested several specific demos from our sales team so that we can more fully realize what Quip can do to meet some of our more basic needs. We've been given links to sales demos which don't address our specific needs. Once we get an idea on what we can do with it and how, it will drive more ideas and creativity for our team, we're just having a hard time getting started.

We use the workdoc to share ideas and collaborate Pros Best thing about this app is that it has a dark interface that allows flawless viewing also it supports all platforms Cons There is often latency issues that we run and some of the syncs are not done properly. It has some problem with commenting. Review Source IP Istvan P.
