Pros

Our company likes the ability to share content with the entire team no matter where anyone is in the world. Simple secure login from any computer and poof instant content for all to read & share.
Basecamp is a professional software, but I like its simplicity. It is very very nice to connect with.
I like this app because it is user friendly which is important but most important is the pricing.

Pros

Quip has great integration, it's a great platform for project management and customer service is great.
Quip is a great tool to use for your team when quickly brainstorming and jotting down ideas. It strips itself of unnecessary formatting/UI options and provides you a clean slate to work smarter.
Beautiful UI design and user friendly. Import export functionalities are really good.

Cons

I believe the roll out of this new website and way of tracking our progress was poor and has cause a lot of frustration, discouragement and even loss of membership for our older members.
At times it can get confusing and files seem to get lost in the shuffle.
You know how you have to have check your email and phone regularly. You can just add Basecamp to the list, but it's worse, because at least you get notified of emails.

Cons

The only small complaint I have is that the text formatting controls are a bit limited. The other problem is how Quip doesn't work well with PDF's.
There is often latency issues that we run and some of the syncs are not done properly. It has some problem with commenting.
Some of the features can be hard to locate when switching over from other comparable platforms. Other than that there isn't too much to complain about.

Basecamp

Not as flashy but a great solution for a specific type of organization

Reviewed 5 years ago

Fantastic customer support. The pre loaded projects in Basecamp help you to wrap your head around what you can do with the platform. Very pleased, if it had offline functionality and native desktop apps we would have selected it instead of Quip.

Pros

There is a lot of care and attention paid to what features are added and which are omitted. The price is hard to beat as well. Most other software solutions of this type charge a per seat price so increased adoption comes at a cost, where Basecamp charges a single price regardless of the number of seats.

Cons

Basecamp is not intended for larger teams. It is difficult to scale to add several additional sub groups. A limited feature set for desktop apps and no offline functionality as well made it impossible for wide scale option for us.
