The sky is the limit with Coda and what you can do. We use it as our source of truth for all things company-related outside of Jira and AirTable. Build it and they will use it because it's so logical, user-friendly, and ready to please. Microsoft, Jira and OneNote had a baby: CODA!
Really nothing - they are working hard on some integrations with Jira I want; otherwise they are responsive and eager to find new ways to help the customer.
We have migrated from GitBook and Google Docs to using Coda for both and have integrated with Jira to help manage the document and planning aspects of project and product management.
At the expense of a couple of coffee each month, Coda has enabled us to draw some operations details (inventories, clients, events) to a large online system. For several different purposes, it's amazing. The team was able to support me easily if I had a concern. Personally and technically, I use it.
Because Coda is different from the programs I used, you must learn how to find a solution to problems. This is another way of thinking. The main challenge facing us with Coda are the incomplete functions. There is no way to print pdf, for example (invoices). It will be a significant move forward for the system to automate this feature.
We have a certain number of time limits in my business for customers to return details to us. In order to encourage them to remain organized on the right foot, I should build a template that I can share with them. My objective is to get Coda to semi-automatically do all organizational work on its own and analyze the collected data. All without the costly company-level devices which are costly to buy, build and manage.
The possibility to have an unified source of truth withs docs, tables and integrations.
The formula option and automations could have some “visual development” feature.
The whole company can share docs that centralized all the project/team information. It’s great for transparency because makes easier to share data and results.
Coda is beautiful in its flexibility. It can be used to keep track of backlogs, roadmaps, OKRs, PRDs, notes, processes and more. If you are comfortable with the tool, you can bend it to whatever shape you want.
I personally love how adaptable Coda is, but given that it takes some time to learn, it can be a bit intimidating for some colleagues to pick up and run with.
Our Product Team uses Coda to communicate features, priorities, and requirements across several teams during these remote times. The ability to create multiple views of the same information for different stakeholders is a game changer. I love that I don't have to update information in 4 different places anymore.
the intuitive manner in which is helps you to manage and create your documentation and specifications
it doesn't interface well with Jira/Confluence
its a product that is closer to what our Product Managers expect in terms of ideation, documentation and organizing creative thoughts
I really like the formatting and organization in Coda, it's easy to use and the layout makes it easier to find information than on other platforms.
I don't like that my org limits doc maker capabilities due to the cost. I also do not like that tables automatically duplicate to create a 'view' of the other table. I'd rather that be an option I could select after pasting. Instead of 'duplicate data instead', it should auto duplicate the data and then offer 'create a view of data instead'.
Project management, I like being able to assign tasks to others.
The dynamic way in which all items can be placed
The free version has a character limit that impacts the organization. It could be limited by "projects", example: 2 projects for the free version.
Organization of several files for projects and clients at the same time.
I love this software as it has quite surprising solutions, according to the issue of document generation for a profit-making profit in political and economic senses, when said idealization is finally executed, this system is programmed for deep and intelligent management of projects, which one of my favorite points in relation to Coda, is that it provides data of great labor importance, for the effective development of prototypes or products that are finished later, being of a wonderful proportion, since It proposes to us to support in areas of high executive degree or in the necessary production fields for the operation of said business establishment.
Since it is a software that is involved in the management of projects of high importance at a general level throughout the organization, it would be extremely useful if it would integrate functions more adapted to the functions that this system maintains designed, since one option for use is the accessibility of video conferences on this same platform, in order to discuss all the didactic and idealized points that were created in a more comfortable way, being a great idea, for a greater performance.
We can make it known that we use this software in a large proportion, due to its wide variety of functions that are very useful in most of the different fields of work that we maintain, more than anything it is executed in the analytical and development areas , for the integral production of digital products, as this software provides us with a solid project management, with a prudent solution in massive generations of documents for the embodiment of these ideas based on templates for a more flexible work, which has been possible notice an understandable result from the beginning of its implementation in the digital platform that we acquired.
I like this software because it offers very relevant use options that allow a versatile usability of the system, since we can create documents based on very well formulated templates for a more adequate and coherent informative work, while allowing speed for the development of these formats, adapting to the needs of companies, since they can exercise all their labor management from this system, as long as they depend on these objective functionalities, for their enactments and frequent operations.
Although it is a software that supports a wide variety of cases, it does not proceed with the availability of certain functions, which would increase productivity from this system, in an extraordinary way, but this option of great use, is at a negative disadvantage, which is a problem, as it not only presents this feature in compatibility, but many more that could increase performance and collaboration in organizations, and guarantee one job at a time.
It allows us to create powerful documents, with relevant information extracted for our most favorable benefit, which was implemented in the center of our organization, since its way of use is versatile, because we even use it in the logistics and analytics department , to collect well-promoted data with an informative base, highlighting that it is easy to create and modify them with end-to-end security, underlining that it is very flexible in most of its basic and advanced operations, which guarantees us each function that we generate with this program.
This unique and independent document manager brings with it a stable programmatic disposition, which has the established guidelines to formalize the joint mobilization of files, where the task of assisted management of projects, tasks, works and notes is facilitated, including professional Presentation tools. , tracking collaboration, idea management and feasible planning of programmatic functionality to maintain and establish stable workflows.
The part of the data emptying system is affected due to the fact that its real-time edition has tool connectivity problems, where these methods fail to impose their task execution methodologies correctly, which makes it more complex to develop An acceptable variability results for the company, this being a considerable aspect that should be corrected as soon as possible for errors in the company system.
Coda is used by my company to establish an objective resolution of problems, managing to structure the execution of a functional task in a high percentage, carrying out a particular document management, where its content is analyzed perfectly for the quality of its software. , allowing content management, inclusion of methods and ease of operational safeguard, being a powerful application for information configuration and presentation molding that has generated considerable progress for my company.
I like Coda in great quantity, because it integrates several of its functions in a single tool, as this guarantees a more controversial and versatile workflow at the same time, being totally effective, since it combines essential powers according to its Template-based document generation programming, as it adds the flexibility of a document, the hierarchy of a spreadsheet and the extensive utility of applications that operate on the system on a single new canvas, that is, it allows you to create files as powerful as an application, assimilating that I love for its design innovation in every aspect.
We can mention that it does not contain an adequate content management to carry out its great work, being a problem of great magnitude, since it does not maintain an update in this sector of the software, in order to improve its use, in terms of flexibility mainly, this tool allows to maintain an adequate control within the application, which it does not acquire in availability, misinterpreting all its design in general in a critical way.
We use Coda in our organization, mainly for its powerful functions of document creation, guaranteeing us quite successful presentations when viewed, it offers us tools for the elaboration of these formats, in a safe and effective way, it provides our teams with the tasks necessary to prosper the constant work of these individuals and the company, since from this generator we capture the main most beneficial projects that we acquire and we tend to carry out.
I like Coda immensely because it combines flexibility in its various essential functionalities of its design, such as the integration of a document, the power of a spreadsheet adapted to the company and the usefulness of the various applications in a just a new digital canvas, which allows making a note as powerful as a web application, highlighting that it has real-time editing tools in case an update of said transcribed text is needed.
It does not contain adequate content management, to imply precisely its primary functionality, including that its user interface likewise suffers from this design flaw in its main platform where there is more traffic flow from potential clients of the software, being confusing when offering its service, that is, it has little information, without excluding that it does not have the service version control tool available, being a problem frequently mentioned by Coda operators.
It is frequently used in my company for its main functionalities such as document and project management, since with this we can have a better initiative in terms of any idea formulated by our clients, it allows us to have quite considerable flexibility in relation to their fundamental applications providing us with ease of use in our platform in order to acquire a better movement of new users close to the fundamental function of our organization by offering them effective work.
Ability to automate task through the hole company with a single source of truth.
Custom scripting is not (yet) supported. This works increase the possibilities a lot
A single source of data through the hole company that help us in making better business decisions
Coda makes it super simple to go from a table (similar to a spreadsheet, but more intuitive) to a functional, communicative interface that contains other views, contextual text, and a number of powerful other tools. The community is incredibly helpful and the ability to make feature requests empowers users to really guide the direction that Coda takes.
Sometimes, it feels like the Coda team prioritizes features that make things easier for doc readers rather than document creators. The lack of one specific feature has made it almost impossible for me to do a number of things.
Resource allocation and scheduling for work, personal vacation planning with family and friends, CRM, etc. Coda empowers users to solve many problems with one tool.
The flexibility - you can do everything from planning, note-taking, journaling to product sprints on Coda.
Some features that product management tools provide like Asana are missing (e.g. adding followers to a task) and most importantly a good mobile app.
Personal planning, product planning, sprint tasks
The flexibility of the docs and the constant development the team puts into it.
If I want to do something a little more advanced it is a tat too difficult to figure out. The support team does, however, prove helpful.
I can control complex projects relatively easily, and get a better overview
We like the connectivity to various services which we already use. And the regular updates to help improve and partner with other 3rd party services. We are able to custom design a system which specifically suits our sales and ordering process.
We use numerous documents which serve different purposes within our business. At times it becomes frustrating to have to refresh or wait an hour for information from a different document to sync. A faster sync time would be preferred.
We are able to utilize both the desktop and mobile version for our employees who work remotely. They are able to use Coda to record their time sheets, send out invoices and automatically have their hours incorporated into our costing reports.
The inerconnectedness of documents - easy to update multiple docs in one stroke. Many options for automation allow for quicker work and outputs Many different viewing capabilities help to display data back to stakeholders in a structured way.
Some features are little too robust - make it more complicated to set up a framework with no bells and whistles.
Being able to track multiple projects with many stakeholders in a easy to follow manner
I really like how comprehensive the feature offering in coda is. In the beginning I was skeptical given all kinds of notebook app all comes out together in a short sprint but eventually realized that coda is fully functional, has extensive support and solves lots of real problem in workspaces. One example is that I've been using it as a collaborative knowledge base that allow everyone in the company to conbribute too. Spending time learing coda really can speed up some misc daily tasks.
Some of the features need more simplification, like when I simply try to create a table to organize my ideas, I always have trouble.
- Collaborate note taking. - Easily setup a public code base that allow peoplo to contribute to. - Many integration options available.
