Compare Coda with other popular tools in the same category.
The mobile interface that you get out of the box with your Coda doc was a pleasant surprise. The best thing is the intuitiveness of creating formulas in your doc and leveraging the data that you have organized in your doc.
I wouldn't say I like that some basic doc layout capabilities are not there, e.g., column layouts for Pages.
No/Low-Code moble/web application prototypes, business dashboards, automated status tracking and email generation, large data tracking/splicing/analysis.
Coda is a one-stop shop to house anything important. You can add .docs, lists, spreadsheets, anything you like, and have them all one click away.
Can be a bit clunky if not managed appropriately.
When starting a new job virtually, I received a ton of information to process. I began drowning in .docs and spreadsheets, and had to remind myself where to access all of them. Coda, made that problem extremely easy. I can house all the aforementioned items in Coda and have them all be one click away.
My experience with coda has been awesome. It provides number of built-in template which help in project completion for example rating tables and to do list. Also it's community support is awesome.
I didn't find any major issue with coda. Since it is new product there is some frequent update in UI which is ok. And performance can also be improved. Except these points this is nice tool.
I used coda to create various types of documents related to project like test cases, requirement document, project progress report etc. It's built-in features provides flexibility to work with data which saves a lot of time.
The capacity to put together a ton of data and various organizations of information in one spot. They are shading coded, autofilled and I can name and reference data with such ease. Its outright and unending capacity to redo and address any issue.
A few highlights and conceivable outcomes are not exceptionally clear and instinctive. It's happened when you really want to confine some doc pages to others in your work area.
Coda has assisted me with having one spot to record a ton of information for the various activities at my particular employment. The assortment of doc types I can make assists with numerous region of our business.
It's intuitive to use, and it's easy to expand upon a doc using packs and other tools
The mobile experience doesn't match up to the desktop experience. Working with docs through the app seems a bit clunky.
I've been able to build docs for organization and even build out a few application specific docs.
I like the integrations that Coda provides through packs. There are so many ways to use packs to integrate with whatever platform your business is using.
Data transformation/visualization. It's very limited, unfortunately.
Information sharing/project management. It's really a great hub for all teams to centralize their data and make it accessible to the entire business.
I love the organization of the documents. Additionally, the power behind the linkage of tables, customization to create project management systems is very useful.
I just wish that there was a little more availability on the API integration side. Would love to automate more by linking to 3rd party tools.
Currently, project managing through Coda! The benefits are that it allows many spaces to get updated with a single sync keeping teams on the same page.
Easy to save and edit. Easy to add emojis and text formatting - which makes everything prettier. Amazing templates and tools are easily added by a simple slash. I love it!
it was hard until I could understand the connected tables - I had some problems until there hahah. Roadmap templates also gave me a bit stress, but it worth it.
Project documentation. I love the fact that I can have everything there and it's not a folder organization - I really don't need to leave anything to find another document.
Coda takes Google Sheets and Google Docs to the next level with full-on tables/databases/ views, the ability to filter them based on conditions, and support for formulas. More importantly, it allows you to build automation with integration. E.g., when a user clicks here, generate an email to notify the owner on slack. Or generate a weekly email showing the updates. The best part being this can all be done by non-technical users. For most users, using these documents is obvious on their very first try. Then with some experience (about an hour), they can gradually start getting more proficient at exploring the powers of Coda. Also has graphs/wordcloud to do analytics of your projects. It usually takes me 5 minutes to show to a complete beginner when I build a project for them, which would, as a programmer, take me at least a week to build using other tools. The number of possibilities with coda are deep, and every day I realize how little I know. I was hesitant and skeptic to try Coda out, and after first 30 minutes of using it, was a convert. Other things I like: (1) For paying users, there's a help chat button where a person can respond to your questions. If I can't find a solution, I reach out there and have both gotten answers, as well as filed feature requests. I am happy to say that a few issues I reported were solved and shipped in the main product. (2) Frequent product updates - they have made several performance improvements over the last 4 months. (3) The community and knowledge base - When I have a question, I just search on https://community.coda.io/ and someone usually has an answer. (4) When you make something unique, can you share it back with the community as a template.
(1) For long tables, you cannot do Ctrl+F in the browser to search (this is normal user behavior). You can solve this with an interactive filter to allow keyword search - which is cool, but when you keyword search, everyone on the document can see what you were searching, and it filters their view too. I am sure changing this behavior is on their roadmap. (2) If you start scrolling long tables fast, it will take some time before the rows render on screen.
Building a company wide site for employees to drop idea and then take these through the product planning cycles, informing everyone who supported these ideas along the way.
Easy onboarding, great support (live chat and community) and every week new valuable features to get rid of lots of other tools
