Coda Reviews & Product Details

It's really easy to use and I love their pricing model, which I prefer over their main competitor, Notion. Pricing is based on doc makers and not on viewers, which I think is the appropriate way to go.

I can't think of anything at this time that I dislike about Coda.

Many of my clients are SMBs that don't have massive budgets to invest in work and operations-related technology. They also have a significant percentage of their workforce that work virtually, which often creates challenges with communication and engagement. Coda is cost-effective and highly efficient at enabling my clients to share information, engage with their employees and allow collaboration to happen in real-time.

Coda makes easy building complex docs to gather all the info you need in one place. Thanks to their tables, automations and easy to grasp interface, building everything that you need is extremely easy.

The main issue is that you cannot have infinite pages inside a Table element, unlike their competition. Apart from that it's got you covered in practically every way.

It is provinding a central piece to manage all my team's info in one place. From documentation to project management to manage my financials in one Doc. Coda is the tool we use for centralising everything.

I love how I can easily customize coda docs to however fits my needs. It makes managing any projects , note taking, and collaborating a breeze once you understand their language.

I would love to see improvements on a couple of things. 1: Locking specific cells in a table vs a page can help ensure that certain things do not get edited 2: Being able to drag (or double-click) on a cell and have it copy & paste whatever is in that cell to the next - this will make manual efforts more efficient with table making

Coda is solving our teams way of managing projects but it's also changing the game on how to take better more effective notes. It makes looking back on info much less chaotic and has a simple sophisticated user interface which we love!

Adaptable, scalable, flexible. Coda is a great incentive to do and learn all sorts of things. All the data you put in becomes executable in so many ways. You're always able to consider what you've already learned and how you can apply the content and/or methodology for future outcomes.

They've taken on quite a significant challenge so some of the expectations of app performance require a bit of patience. It's also disrupting most out-of-the-box solutions, so managing competition and staying true to their own product has sometimes been difficult.

Coda solves almost every productivity problem. But if I were an educator and wanted a way to introduce almost any student population to computational logic and design, I'd do it with Coda.

Phone application, types of organization

Offline possibility (on the phone at least)

Wikipedia/knowledge management, time planning, lists (movies, groceries)

Flexible tool that gives the opportunity type of powerful doc you can imagine.

So far, I have not found things I disliked.

Centralizing all the docs you could need in one place. Also enhancing collaboration.

- Real-time collaboration, great for brain storming ideas with the team - Packs that integrate the tools with other tools from our workflow (jira, google docs, slack, etc...) - Ease of use

search within the document, especially in large documents, seems like the feature was developed for small documents with just a few results

Knowledge base for our team. when we want to know about some feature of our product coda is the go-to place to get that info. Sometimes I use it as a kind of internal blog for our area. where I put posts, guides and how-tos on very technical issues.

First of all, if you look at coda as a place for internal documentation for your company - it looks nice. Typography works, pages look great and it's improve adoption for sure - people of your organization would not be afraid to use it. The second thing is the flexibility that the coda gave to you. We moved a couple of internal processes and organize them through coda and rely on them from now on. In addition to driving the adoption of new processes, we also set up a couple of automation that send messages to slack and emails so that everybody be on the same page on updates. I can say that coda is one of the most important tools in my daily routine these days.

As with all software, coda has its own limitations. We're still missing ability to have access to comments in automation (e.g. there is no way to set up reminders based on the absence of comments at the moment, while we need them). It's also require some understanding of data structures if you want to build the process on it (not just documentation). But overall anyway it's great.

Internal documentation storage and search; processes automation; internal communication archive; collaborative tool;

In my view, Coda has plenty of strong points, but I would pinpoint just these five: 1. Extremely powerful formula language, that goes well beyond that of competing apps. 2. Built-in automations, that do not depend on external services. 3. Extensible platform, by means of "Packs". The documentation and SDK used to build them are top-notch. 4. Straightforward way to create a personal maker profile, publish docs and packs, track their usage, and even monetize them easily. 5. Lively and helpful user community, hosted by Coda. To summarize, Coda is, in my opinion, an exceptionally versatile, well-thought platform, that put simply, is a joy to use.

Three aspects that I consider could be improved: 1. In my experience, performance in complex documents is slightly sluggish at times, but I acknowledge this is a common chore in many similar, cloud-based platforms. 2. Despite formulas and automations being extremely powerful and suitable to tackle a wealth of use-cases, the doc-based, compartmentalized philosophy of Coda perhaps makes it not so suitable in knowledge management scenarios. 3. The document manager is pretty basic and lacks some features that are often taken for granted, i.e. subfolders, different views, drag and drop UI...

I am using Coda to solve multi-user process workflows that require event-driven automations and rich user interfaces. Besides that, I find the built-in charting capabilities extremely useful to build reporting dashboards without relying on external services.

The connectivity/integrations between Coda and everything else we use.

The access permissions for the team folders were confusing but I believe that's just a plan limitation.

Streamline collaboration on internal projects, easy-to-build aesthetic documents to clients, easy to edit playbooks/wikis for company-wide communications
