Amazon WorkDocs
Amazon WorkDocs is a fully managed, secure enterprise storage and sharing service with strong administrative controls and feedback capabilities that improve user productivity. Users can comment on files, send them to others for feedback, and upload new versions without having to resort to emailing multiple versions of their files as attachments. Users can take advantage of these capabilities wherever they are, using the device of their choice, including PCs, Macs, and tablets.

Quip
Quip changes the way teams work together. Real work gets done, faster, smarter. Owned by Salesforce and integrated with Salesforce

Amazon WorkDocs and Quip, though both valiantly attempting to tame the wild frontiers of cloud-based collaboration, go about it in very different ways, a bit like two distant cousins who’ve been invited to the same family reunion but don’t quite know what to talk about. WorkDocs is the sensible, no-nonsense one—offering document management for businesses, as if the universe needed another reminder that paperwork never really dies, it just migrates to the cloud. With its stern features like secure file storage, version control and permissions so granular they probably come with their own microscopes, it integrates seamlessly with AWS, because of course it does. After all, why leave the Amazon ecosystem when you can simply nestle further into it?

Quip, however, strides into the room with a bit more flair. It’s the platform that doesn’t just want to organize your documents; it wants to *organize your life.* Documents, spreadsheets, chat, project management—all mashed together like the contents of an overenthusiastic sandwich. It’s friendly, it’s real-time, it’s probably reminding you of a meeting you’re already late for. And it does all this with an interface so user-friendly that you almost forget it’s turning you into an ultra-efficient collaboration machine, accessible from your pocket-sized slab of glass wherever you happen to be.

So, in summary, WorkDocs is your buttoned-up business partner, perfectly aligned with AWS, while Quip is the energetic multitasker, ready to chat, plan and spreadsheet its way into your team’s heart—whether you asked for it or not.
