You can combine text documents and tables in one space. No need to open separate documents. You can use various combinations of views and options and formulas to virtually create any kinds of documents from simple text to project management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are still some rooms to improve at the UI and UX part. It would be nice if users can navigate documents like they navigate files and folders using a file explorer. And for first-time users, there is a bit of learning curve to be able to use Coda optimally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been able thanks to coda to fully develop a complex nutritional app with many many features.
Developing the same project using the average path would have take me at least 50.000$ of developers, designers, marketers, ecc.
In some month i've builded the entire app by myself and in the next year i've made it the most versatile and one of the most complete nutritional app for pets in the market, creating innovation from nothing nearly free.
This innovation will follow my project in all his aspect, to give an example, it's from day one mobile friendly, so if coda update my app is updated in the same time!
And coda team is really open to listen to all different user cases in the community or by support chat Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What i do not like about coda is that they are a little bit too much business-oriented app-maker.
What do i mean is that because of this initial first phase out of the beta coda needed paying people, they have started preparing special features intended for those category of users, that in my opinion greatly limits the makers (who that makes app on coda) who are not managing their business but instead that have created their business in coda, giving them less update and less focused on the real app-building and more on integrations with various service to better manage your company (that it's surely nice for many people but not for pet's nutritionist) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I never learned to code seriously and since life is hectic and I am always pressed for time, I thought that the world of programming and app making would always be out of reach. I took a dip in Coda when it was still in beta and since then I am amazed at all the things I have managed to do.
I feel like I have a full stack developer working in the background making things work, connecting databases, services, doing magical things that I may never understand. All the while, I can create powerful little apps that meet my goals in very little time. Everything works surprisingly smoothly. And I still can't code outside of Coda.
To sum up, I think my favourite things are: speed and efficiency of developing new apps, ease of using and connecting multiple databases. This includes internal databases and external sources, e.g. Shopify, Gmail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes very complex databases and calculations can slow down a doc. But things have been getting faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like most about Coda is the rare combination of power and ease of use. Coda tables can do everything spreadsheets can do, but they hold your hand the whole way through and streamline the creation process. It's actually very difficult to make a mistake as you create. And for advanced users, Coda's formula language combined with controls on the canvas and data in your tables will not stop you from any custom solution you can think of. It is far more powerful than Notion, Coda's lookalike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Coda is pretty plain to look at. Most views of your data will be skinny grey separator lines, and the "details" view could use a makeover. There is little you can do to customize the look of it beyond changing a few colours (unless you are willing to get into the CSS).
Secondly, the app is simply a wrapper around the mobile web-app, which could definitely use some improvement for usability.
Thirdly, although Coda allows "locking" at the page-level (on Team subscription and upward), there is no easy way to set granular user permissions in a given doc. Only "view" or "edit". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That i could contact people to help me and they would answer right away! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dont have a comparison, of course coding stuff was a bit clumsy in the beginning but i am sure this was on me :D Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Coda centralizes the project management for projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Most engineers are used to and enjoy the functionality in google drive so adoption on the team has been slow for some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The platform offers a degree of personalization and connectivity that are essential for my daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the platform gets a little slow, but we have already received tips and guidance from the Coda support team on how to improve our document and navigability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The flexibility and ability to share content with different stakeholders in ways useful to them. It's easy to get people started by sharing a document you have been working on then your team is able to quickly pick it up and start creating things on their own. The next evolution of google sheets for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its a little pricey so you have to sell the rest of your team on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
