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

Reasons for Switching to Quip

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.

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.

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.

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.
