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 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 SM Shreyash M. 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 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. Switched from [Vim](https://www.capterra.com/p/10002336/Vim/)[monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Didn't meet the current requirements as we wanted in terms of task management and workflow management.

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 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 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 DT Danny T. Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Decent for some use cases but lacking for others" November 14, 2024 3.0 Quip is a decent application for getting ideas out quickly, but it was lacking in terms of our use cases and the problems it was brought in to solve, such as documentation repositories, project plans, project briefs, etc. Once you have a lot of content, it just becomes difficult to manage, and adoption was difficult with the team, and applications like Confluence and Asana were preferred. Pros It's quick to use for taking notes and perhaps writing some documentation. Mainly to get ideas from concept to "on paper." Cons It does too many things but not overall overall in terms of the features' design. It is too "freeform" over structure where it can be a solid application for various applications, but it will depend on the use case. The bottom line is that it can address some use cases, but I found it not to be as streamlined as advertised. 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 VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Covers your needs for software development" October 12, 2020 5.0 I like working with Quip, because of the fuss-free UI, it's just a simple slate where you can integrate tasks, spreadsheets, code snippets and many more. You can add comments and have version control. You can have all these capabilities separately from different products, but Quip is special in the sense that you can find all these capabilities in a single product which streamlines your work and saves you time. Pros What I like most about this is the code block formatting. I tried different extensions with other similar tools, but the result was never as good as Quip. Quip provides formatting, indenting, etc for multiple languages. If you want to share a code snippet, that's really nice and I haven't seen another product come close. You also have to-do tasks, can set the task owners and the deadlines, which is great for collaboration. You can add spreadsheets for metrics. Another feature I find useful is the access settings. Only the people / group you specify can view the file. Cons I think Quip has a lot of room to grow in terms of spreadsheet functionalities. It is enough for me for standard operations, but I'm guessing people who work with Excel / Google Sheets on a daily basis would find it hard to migrate to Quip completely. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate Director Employer Success Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quip is fantastic collaboration tool" October 7, 2022 5.0 It was fantastic and very efficient to create and share files and add task owners with version control. Pros Ever added an excel sheet and image and even gifs in a document seamlessly? Use Quip and you will be blown away by the easy formatting options available in Quip. Cons I least liked that Quip was costly and that not sufficient font quality and UI was not appealing enough.

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. Review Source LB Lisa B. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best docu-sharing tool for a team" March 20, 2019 4.0 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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer International Development Manager Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Google Docs on Steroids" September 4, 2018 4.0 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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quip a good alternative to Google product offerings" February 9, 2020 5.0 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. Review Source YO Yana O. Healthcare Analyst Market Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic for Small Project Management and Collaboration" February 22, 2017 5.0 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 Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Specification Writer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I built a custom reporting tool without being a programmer. " May 4, 2018 5.0 I was up to produce a highly functional spreadsheet to use as a reporting tool for my upstream management. Pros The interface is clean and user-friendly. A novice can create a robust reporting tool for your internal use in less than a week. Cons The embedded spreadsheet application has many advanced features. The Quip spreadsheet has more bells and whistles than I could figure out in one sitting. Quip's tutorals and customer service staff guided and coached me through the rough spots. Review Source Ezechiel Narcisse A. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Real-time collaborative writing tool " August 4, 2022 4.0 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. 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.
