The thing I love most about Coda is how I can organize information. I can seamlessly structure my thoughts in a way that's easy for me to navigate by leveraging docs, tables, and pages/sub pages. The endless ways I can view information makes Coda my favorite.
I don't like that I'm not as well versed in the formulas as I'd like to be. I'd also love more color flexibility at times.
Before Coda, I felt like I had notes and projects in 10 different programs. Coda allows me to bring everything into one place to better manage everything I'm working on. Coda also allows me to create unique interactive experiences for clients, like question generators, without needing to know how to code.
It's flexibility. It has so many usecases, from simple note-taking/knowledge bases through to invoice tracking and project planning. I have used Coda for all of the above.
There's very little not to like, except a few minor things such as lack of syntax highlighting in code blocks. The mobile app is also fairly lackluster beyond basic reading. The pricing can also be either very reasonable or a tad expensive depending on how you want to use it.
Coda has made collaboration and information gathering much easier, bringing together powerful tables and a canvas. Combined with their API I have used it to solve many problems.
Coda is great to import and transform data quickly. You can import from a CSV add some column with special functions and have a good overview of the data in no time. Convert the table to a chart and see even more. We are using coda to get a better overview on our invoices. We import monthly exports from Stripe and combine them with the manual invoices and with Coda we can pull any report we want out of this data.
Sometimes it feels as if Coda uses a lot of resources. Working with a lot of data also sometimes causes Chrome to freeze. Anyways, this is not a big problem as all data is always saved.
I can get data from a few different sources and show it to my team. Everyone sees where the data comes from and can add more information or do other transformations so that we all can get more insights.
Coda is incredibly malleable. You can create exactly what you need if you understand how it works. Our entire team runs on Coda, and more people throughout the company are incorporating it into their workflows. In addition, the packs and automation make this an unbeatable software!
The one thing I can think of is that, initially, it has a steep learning curve. Because it is so flexible and malleable, you have to spend a bit more time learning how to use it. But, once you do, the pay off is HUGE!
It is solving several problems. First of all, it is my personal organization central. Second, it's helping our team conduct more efficient and meaningful meetings. Third, it's helping us onboard new team members and have all the information they need in one beautiful Coda doc. Fourth, it's helping us with cross-functional project management; Coda houses processes that involve several teams across our organization. Finally, it functions as our knowledge hub.
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.
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.
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.
Flexibility to get present information in a variety of ways. It's been a very useful tool in collaborating with teammates, developing internal tracking mechanisms, and brainstorming new ideas.
I wish there was a find and replace feature. That would really help when we are updating the text of a document over and over again. That's my only gripe for CODA.
We are solving the problem of having to easily present data in a variety of forms on the same venue. We can put photos, charts, videos, documents, tables, etc. in the same document. It saves a lot of time.
I use Coda to encode our team's goals as behaviors that take place in a doc. Coda likes to call these "rituals," but they could be anything you or your team regularly do. Compared to Notion, I have a much more flexible formula language at my disposal. Sometimes I make a team member's ritual into a series of written steps (the documentation approach), or other times it's a full-blown app that they control. In either case, Coda is the first tool I look to use.
Unfortunately, Coda can't handle large amounts of data. If you have 10k+ rows in your doc or complicated formulas, then it can get slow to the point of being unusable. There are many workarounds, but that requires a lot more work and expertise, which some people can't handle. That said, it probably will only impact you if you are building something fairly complex or consequential, in which case it might be worth it.
I've built many tools which teams use for: 1. sharing information between teams 2. tracking licenses to make sure they don't expire 3. keeping track of meeting notes every week 4. tracking inventory 5. paying salaries 6. tracking home expenses and income 7. formatting and transforming CSVs 8. time tracking for hourly pay customers 9. issue queues for open tasks 10. conversation templates to enable better decision making 11. sending surveys It's a flexible tool
Very easy to use compared to other programs. Easy to use for collaboration purposes.
Some of the functions were difficult to figure out, such as, summing a column
Everyone is virtually and it has been difficult to collaborate between my colleagues and I. Coda allows us to work on files together, and it brings all of the MS functions into one program
It's simple to start, flexible to serve many scenarios, and powerful enough to be used by any business or individual.
Nothing! It's already great but keeps improving at a phenomenal pace.
Team management, project management, data analysis, personal goals, database, documentation, collaborative teamwork. I can make all of this under one seamless platform.
I have been using coda for years. I love the ability to have a document + database in one document. I love the inline formulas. I find it easy to use... and when I don't, the customer support is fantastic. : ) I use it daily to run my granola business.
None really. The formulas can be tricky but that is just me and my brain. The documentation and support is fantastic.
Coda allows me to organize everything in one app. Documents, spreadsheets, databases....all in one. Less time searching for what I need.
The best feature is adaptability and the power that it offers. That fresh start with the tables as a whole and packs holding up make it far superior to some other existing stage. I love involving it for straightforward docs, yet you can likewise fabricate custom applications and reports for your group to give them superpowers.
I think assuming I needed to pick a disadvantage. It would be the usefulness of the portable applications. I'm anticipating seeing those become better and work on over the long haul.
I've constructed a great deal of things with Coda. I constructed a bug tracker to assist with watching issues clients are confronting and furthermore use it to control our nonconcurrent work since our group is worldwide. It assists us with coming to settlements on how and when we push ahead collectively.
La gran variedad de opciones que ofrece para configurar una gestión documental personalizada que sea facil de registrar, procesar y analizar.
No poder asignar privilegios de usuario más variados, y no poder configurar algunas tablas para evitar errores de usuario voluntarios y no voluntarios.
Integración documental de la gestión estratégica, la opciones de visualización y combinación de la información que realmente es genial.
The functionality of being able to self contain all my notes and tables in the same doc
Would like a little more flexibility on the free features
I'm using it to document daily notes and currently creating a scavenger hunt for our team
Its absolute and endless ability to customize and meet any need. Seriously - you can really meet any need.
Not as much functionality on Mobile App version and docs can grow slow without detailed work on optimizing formulas and doc schema
Collecting data and meeting legal timelines for students with disabilities in public schools. The benefits have been mainly around never missing timelines thanks to automatic reminders and notifications, and automatic emailing to large amounts of people to collect data for student cases. Does much of my jobs redundant work automatically and gives me time to actually be with students.
The Coda templates are incredibly useful.
Coda is most useful when the company replaces other docs with Coda. Makes collaboration more seamless.
Much much better docs and spreadsheets, and can quickly spin up doc templates from proven successful use cases
The customization of tables, formulas and the integration with another tools, like Slack, Google Mail, Calendar, Drive, Spotify.
Heavy documents get some lag, but nothing critical to the workflow.
Tracking of multiple tasks, mostly repetitive. Follow up on coworkers' progress and visualization of status with Gantt. Performance has not increased, but it is a more organized workflow.
If you can dream it, you can do it. It's my go-to platform for building out my company's (and my family's) infrastructure. I live in Coda and it's saved me an absurd amount of time.
I'm not a coder, and I'm not super technically savvy (I get by). That said, there was a learning curve for the more advanced uses of Coda, and I had to choose to invest the time in learning those features. Once I did, it was game-changing. It unlocks a whole new level of functionality.
My entire business runs in Coda. 10/10 would cry if you took it away from me.
