"Great for getting the whole team organized"
What do you like best about Coda?

The best part of Coda is that there seems to be no real limits. I can create the docs that I need with a ton of information in different views. I can use templates to help better set up, and there's a world of options you can do with a doc. There are integrations that I use to pull in user feedback from another site and I can use a formula to group the information together. On another scale, I used Coda to create a full travel document with itinerary for one of our company conferences. Support is also very helpful, and they have great tutorial videos.

What do you dislike about Coda?

I think that Coda may not be something you can just start with right when signing up. It takes some tutorials to get the hang of it, especially if you need to use formulas to do what you need done. Support can definitely help if you get stuck, however. Another thing that has been a pain point is when I have large tables, I can't search the whole table that I can find. Something will only come up if I am loaded to that area of the table unlike spreadsheet programs. That has been an issue with some of our larger feedback tables we've needed.

What problems is Coda solving and how is that benefiting you?

Coda has helped me to have one place to record a lot of data for the different projects at my job. There's so many formulas that helps be aggregate and pull data. The variety of doc types I can make helps with many areas of our business. Before, we had multiple spreadsheets and docs in different areas. Now, we can have a combinations of these things in a project or even in the same doc.

"I live inside Coda and I'm not mad about it."
What do you like best about Coda?

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.

What do you dislike about Coda?

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.

What problems is Coda solving and how is that benefiting you?

My entire business runs in Coda. 10/10 would cry if you took it away from me.

"Highly Recommend for businesses! So much better than Google!"
What do you like best about Coda?

I love how customizable and unique CODA is yet similar to Google. It's customizable and almost identical to Google Drive and related apps. I love and appreciate as an Administration position that I can stay organized and have all the pros of Google along with more customizable options to have all types of documents together in one page!

What do you dislike about Coda?

I have issues with learning all the Google syncing packs, but other than that, I don't have issues with CODA. Given I am still learning the program but so far it's a great tool and asset to the company I work at.

What problems is Coda solving and how is that benefiting you?

The organization is vital in companies, and these are the benefits I learned to do because CODA makes it a seamless process! It helps keep communication straightforward and transparent since everything is located in its own main page.

"A Phenomenal Tool!"
What do you like best about Coda?

I love how adaptable it is. Coda can take advantage of all sorts of automations and unique workflows, so I feel like I'm building a legit applet without having to know how to code. The potential is huge.

What do you dislike about Coda?

More packs! Faster development! GOOGLE SHEETS!

What problems is Coda solving and how is that benefiting you?

Asset tracking, project management, tast lists. WE're working to create a centralized hub to track our entire team's work and resources.

"A highly flexible, adaptable environment for information processing & management"
What do you like best about Coda?

I LOVE how easy Coda makes it to combine various types of data: Freeform text, structured text (bullets, numbered times, etc, with Structured data in tables. We started 2 years ago using Coda for a few data management things, and it's gradually become THE HUB for most all our content creation, training planning, client management, and brainstorming activities. Nothing else I've found is quite so flexible and adapbtable.

What do you dislike about Coda?

In the past, our docs have steadily grown in size & volume and they's gotten slower to load. Coda has taken great strides, this past year, in speeding them up, though they can still be slow, with larger tables. And I've found that Safari loads them WAY quicker than Chrome. Besides that - our team LOVES it! We tried for 6 months to use it to replace Asana / Task management as well but found Asana better for distributed team tracking tasks across multiple projects with different task views. We use Coda for almost everything else though now.

What problems is Coda solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a complex data model, in our company, that really requires a dynamic relational database structure that cross references and filters different kinds of data fields in different ways, depending on the contextad instead of hiring a database engineer, we can just build & adapt it as we go with almost no tech skills.

"Excellent Documentation Software"
What do you like best about Coda?

There are many features I love about Coda. Not only is it a very intuitive software to use, but I can also access it from anywhere. I love the integrations it includes, I love the format of the software itself, it's visually appealing and lovely to look at and use, and I am able to do many different things with it. I also love the tools and features it has; it makes creating documents much more enjoyable and practical for a wide range of many scenarios.

What do you dislike about Coda?

What I am not the biggest fan of is the fact that the iPad version isn't as smooth and useful as the web browser version. When I am on my iPad, I just have to use the browser. In addition, the learning curve for learning some of the extra features is steep.

What problems is Coda solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have solved the issue of having one central location for all documentation for the products and projects we are working on. It is easy to create and easy to share with other people. It also helps that the formatting looks so much more engaging and makes reading documentation much easier and more enjoyable. We use Coda to present important documentation to our senior leadership at our company.

"Coda rocked our world! Great way to formulate and keep track of our strategy work"
What do you like best about Coda?

Coda has been an amazing tool for our product and strategy teams to keep things organized and centralized. We ended the collection of spreadsheets that got lost in our inboxes and started to document more what we're doing.

What do you dislike about Coda?

Some times we miss a couple of the things we're used to with spreadsheets,like cell based calculations. But it's about expectation the product is clear about the fact tables are not spreadsheet and that's ok. tables are powerful enough on its own

What problems is Coda solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use coda for things like pricing sheet and calculators, strategy documentation, project execution tracking, and briefs for new initiatives. We have benefit from how organized our information is now and the different type of structures we can add to it. Automation options like table calculations or integrations have also saved our time

"Coda changed the way I managed my projects and collaborate"
What do you like best about Coda?

Easiness to create a doc with plenty of integration (all Google apps, Github, and much more). It's very easy to collaborate and the latest release changed the way we built doc. We can now write note inside a cell, and basically write functions, create tables, show graphs, etc within a cell. It is literally amazing. Besides, that, Coda gives us the opportunity to write our own Pack in Javascript which means we can integrate the world into a single doc The team replies very quickly and the community is getting bigger and bigger so we can find any answer we want.

What do you dislike about Coda?

The graphs are not very advanced. It is basic graphs with very little possibility to customize it. Another thing I don't like is the lack of a search bar. There is one search bar on the top left of the doc but it is too small and yet super powerful. We can find every object using the search bar but they decided to hide it :/

What problems is Coda solving and how is that benefiting you?

Coda helps me to centralize all the information I collect on the internet: emails, highlights, newsletters, Meetings, bookmarks and the health data from Apple Watch. I also use it to bring all those information into a centralize project management system which push the recommended information when I need it the most. All of this is done in Coda. I also create doc to do company book keeping and also to collaborate on projects because it is super easy to use, and can seamlessly add notes, automate tasks etc

"Coda is the best app ✨"
What do you like best about Coda?

The most helpful part is the ability to create tables within a row and format the way information is inputted in your database. Coming from an excel background, Coda makes formulas so relaxing. They are colour coded, autofilled and I can name and reference information so easily. To me, they blow any other apps out of the water!

What do you dislike about Coda?

Only thing I dislike is with the scale feature where you can put stars or blue circles, there is a limit on how many can be inputted. Other than that, I always come to coda to make the doc that I need and use it for business.

What problems is Coda solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm solving the problem of procrastination with Coda. I have become so much more productive using Coda. Passed my licensing exam because Coda enabled me to visualize my progress with the in-depth features.

"The thing you didn’t know you needed"
What do you like best about Coda?

Coda is great for a lot of different uses! Whenever I had a question, the team was able to help me out quickly. I use it both personally and professionally.

What do you dislike about Coda?

Because Coda isn’t like programs I’ve used before, it takes some learning to see what problems it can solve. It’s a different way of thinking!

What problems is Coda solving and how is that benefiting you?

For my company, we have a number of specific timelines that customers need to return information to us. I was able to create a template that I can share with them to help them keep organized and set them up on the right foot.
