Software Development Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/5/2023 "One of the best and unknown online text editors out there" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Etherpad? The best has to be real-time collaboration. This makes it a valuable tool, especially for teams that work remotely and want to collaborate on a doc. It's lighter compared to Quip. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Etherpad? The fact that it doesn't have version history and you can't roll back to a previous version. That's where Quip has a much richer feature set and Etherpad falls short. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Etherpad solving and how is that benefiting you? We're using it for online collaboration with other teammates. It helps to get real-time collaboration and feedback on documents. It's also lightweight and open-source which makes it very trustworthy.
