The support staff are phenomenal! Questions about features or bugs are answered very quickly. I really enjoy using Coda for organizing my personal projects.
When trying to configure some of their more complex offerings, it can be difficult to tell if something is missing, if there is a bug, or if you are doing something wrong, and this can take some time to research before hitting up the Support button.
Seamlessly having all your dynamic information in one place without needing to context switch or having too many tabs open
It is simple, uncluttered, and totally versatile. I use it for everything, in fact, it's my go-to place for anything I want to document, save, share, and collaborate on.
I love building scripts and codes, but I find the language challenging to understand. Since I only build new functionalities once in a while, I have to re-learn how to do certain things which should be intuitive by now.
Coda has become my main business repository. It's where I keep my CRM, my product development research, analysis, marketing strategies, plans, writings, etc.. If I have the choice between putting it on scattered individual documents, or putting it in Coda, then 100% it goes into Coda.
For a small company, CODA is a very flexible tool for accounting and analyzing data, automating business processes. Easy enough to learn with no programming experience. With programming experience, you can do fantastic things. Of course, there are pitfalls, but the project is developing and this gives hope.
Not yet very friendly tools for printing documents or converting them to *.PDF (but they are there). At times updates break the familiar look and feel of documents without warning. Solvable, but not pleasant.
Business process automation for a small manufacturing company: accounting and management of orders, bill of materials, production cycles, sales and shipments.Without increasing management we manage more complex tasks
Coda is the most promising platform in the market for all things tracking, note-taking, project management, knowledge base and much more.
The only thing currently missing from Coda in my opinion are quick native ways to capture information, such as a fast Android widget.
Team dashboard, project management, task aggregator, knowledge base, information capture and much more.
The ability to build formula using text control within text is very useful
cannot put borders and color background around text boxes
by building formula using text control, I can build dynamic instructions for my work flow depending on the scale of the workflow
The formulas allow me to do just about anything I can imagine. Not just sums and averages, either. You can display information, even make your own charts from scratch, or set an item's value based on its distant parents' values.
A doc can get pretty slow if you have a lot of data plus a lot of formulas. There are ways to make your formulas more efficient, but I am not advanced enough to know that stuff.
Spreadsheets are too stiff and stale. But apps are too opinionated, unintentionally forcing a certain methodology by their very structure (eg, there are projects and tasks and that's it). But Coda allows you to make your own structure (eg, projects, tasks, questions, issues, anything you want). Other apps have a due date field. But you can make any number of date fields if you want (eg, due, start after, started on, try to get done before, hard due date, actually completed on, review again at). It's things like that that make Coda stand out. Infinite personalization is what I've needed, and Coda is the first to provide it for me.
No matter what items are part of your docs, if it's text, graphics, links, videos, tables - there is no better platform out there at the moment to integrate it all. Plus, the Coda online app looks as if I paid a developer 100 Grand to finish it for me. Great work, Team CODA!
I wish there was a way to have the doc search function on the mobile app. That's really a drawback. Besides that, I'd consider adding the option for custom domains, and custom SEO (like the link thumbnail when posted on social media. A payment gateway for monetizing docs would also be a fantastic idea!
It's an easy way to create complex structures of pages with submenus without needing to be a programmer. The ability to connect pages via cards is very useful, all links are dynamic, so even if I change a page's name it's not messing up the link. It's those little details that make Coda great!
The ability to communicate a significant amount of information effectively using multiple formats.
It takes a bit of time for new features to come out.
The central problem is making the spreadsheet a helpful communication tool.
One suite for most of the company's operations. CRM, operations, strat sessions, even communication among the team members. Also very affordable in comparison to its competitors. CODA has also made a lot of micro and macro level improvements over the last year.
It is hard to use the word "dislike" about Coda because it delivers on many fronts. So all shortcomings fall in the category of "requested features" like default support of UTF-8 characters.
I use Coda as a one-stop place for running my company's operations, sales, marketing efforts. Same for the strategic brainstorming sessions, and more and more - internal and external communication.
I love that not only can you link to other pages internally, Coda works with several tools like ClickUp.
I know there aren't any intentions of creating a desktop app, the Chrome shortcut closes fully when you try to close the window. It reloads and starts from the top each time it's opened and I forget where I was.
It's helping me manage projects and our production calendar.
