How would that work considering Salesforce already has Quip ?
- jasonv 6y agoI use Slack and Quip and they’re not the same thing.
- laurentb 6y agoreally? I thought they were pretty much a direct competitor except with a different take on the whole idea. What's the use case for Quip then ?
- jitl 6y agoQuip is a wiki. Use it to write and share documents. Slack is a communication tool. Use it to have conversations.
- noema 6y agoAt my job we use Quip strictly for collaborative design docs (i.e. architectural design, project scope, tutorials etc). Personally I don't think it can be a true wiki platform since it lacks robust indexing -- this is without doubt its biggest shortcoming.
- lobotryas 6y agoCorrect. Quip is not a wiki. I would call it an “opinionated and stripped-down version of GSuite with excellent collaboration support”. Quip also has chat stapled to it. Slack is missing doc management/creation. Quip is missing a good chat solution. It’s almost like PB&J.
- Slartie 6y agoA wiki? I thought it was an electric toothbrush!
- Irishsteve 6y agoWe used it as a google docs alternative
- nateburke 6y agoQuip competes with Office 365/Gsuite, not Microsoft Teams/Gchat.
- jitl 6y agoI think it would be great for both products if they were integrated tightly. The chat features in quip are barely used because they’re so anemic, and Slack is missing a document catalog UI, and, in a way, has gone to war with document catalogs because it wants chat to be the “center” of work. But this is often a mismatch for customers who view both as equally important.
