Coda has made our team's work so organized!
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about coda is you can have a hub for our entire team's workflow. It is so versatile and easy to use. We work in post production and there were a million documents circulating around. Rather than having a million bookmarks on our computer, we just have it all in 1 place now and it has saved us so much time and efficiency!
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the tables could be improved upon and more versatile like they are with notion
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has consolidated all of our teams information and workflow breakdowns into 1.
Coda is fantastic workspace for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Coda is an incredible tool to build dynamic tables, databases, and wiki pages to enable teams to collaboration. We use Coda every day for tracking roadmap items across dozens of teams and hundreds of stakeholders.
What do you dislike about the product?
Coda isn't the smoothest notetaking tool. While Coda is fantastic in generating and maintaining content across tables or wiki-like pages, it's missing some key note taking and automation features that some of its competitors have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coda is a fantastic tool for bringing visibility to project status and for tracking hundreds of iniatives in an asynchronus manner.
A no-code database for coders
What do you like best about the product?
Its flexibility and ability to implement complex workflows
What do you dislike about the product?
Backlinks (as done in Notion) are not there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The single source of truth problem has been directly tackled. We had many spreadsheets with duplicated information, and now they are all views of the same large database.
Two way linking (relations in db allow for a network in the knowledge base and not just a tree)

Great platform that helps keeps us organized and running
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it is easy to implement what I need in a matter of minutes. One of my favorite features is the ease of creating data tables that can link to each other - this helps us keep maintenance to a minimum and promotes a single source of truth. I also like how it can integrate to other products such as Slack and Jira, further helping us to centralize our data. I use it on a daily basis, it is my go-to for everything I do.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that it had better sharing capabilities on a per page basis rather than doc basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly keeping me and my team organized across our various projects and processes. We document a lot of our work as we need to reference all the decisions we make that affect our stakeholders.
CODA - aptly named as it is the end of my use of other products
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility to build out exactly what you need in each use case is what hooked me. Sometimes it is much closer to a standard word doc, and others have 15+ table views with more complex formulas to automate my work. Both are useful and have been able to cut the time needed to complete repeat and menial tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, what would help me in regards to CODA would be more people adopting it. So, the more folks that know about it the easier it will be to bring more of my projects into that eco-system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Too much of our organizational information was trapped in individual docs/spreadsheets created by people with different roles. This has helped us make a central location so that we can all access a single source of truth. In that way, when I make edits or changes, I don't need to ask my whole team to update individual docs, etc.
Coda for easy project management
What do you like best about the product?
Using the automation and rules features, we can create rules that will trigger notifications automatically when particular criteria are reached, such finishing a job or updating a particular document field. We can also link our Coda documents with other platforms we already use in our everyday workflow thanks to its extensive range of integrations with external platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no relevant complaints, it is a complete tool for our current needs, it is the kind of all-in-one platform that we like to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coda helps us by increasing our total productivity and efficiency, from workflow automation to data organization and interaction with other tools.
Great Tool - geared for automation and scalability
What do you like best about the product?
It scales very well to an the whole organization
What do you dislike about the product?
some integrations are missing (datadog, parabol). Also it's not easy to onboard on API integrations for non engineers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alignement on company priorities accross the different Product and Eng teams
Huge fan!! Im running all my core information processes via Coda these days
What do you like best about the product?
Think of all the times excel was not good enough and a native app or website was an overkill. That's where it comes in perfectly! I can build what is effectivly a small web-app just using tables and simple javascript-like functions. In other words, it is super easy to start and implement a new idea/ information system to get it up and running,
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance at scale. It notably starts to struggle with large data sets and many calculations put in place.
We've had to kill Coda docs that contain multiple thousands of somwhat simple entries (10 columns, one of which an image. No advanced calculations or functions), because they started to crash on load.
End-users often complain about the UI/UX of the system when its presented as an app. On pop-ups they ask where is save & close or go-back buttons and while there are workarounds for that they are all a bit ackward.
But people tend to forget that what they are looking at is a database table, for which the UI is absolutly amazing. Unfortunately that is not how people think, they expect an amazing and inuitive UI when I give them modular pop-up views to work with.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create transparency and commitment. Able to faciliate and lock in decisions, because they can be easily recorded with a button-press sign-off, reorded in a sub-table.
So it helps to organize and structure the most important busines topics like Goals, OKRs, Programs, Portfolio.

Amazing in general, nevertheless unintuitive with some basic features
What do you like best about the product?
I love the balance of easiness and complexity for implementing great pages that can suit any need we have had so far. It has great connectors like Google Maps help to create complex things very easily.
Customizations are easy to use with the formulas and allow to add a granular level of user experience that makes it feel very friendly for our everyday use.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some basic features feels unintuitive, for example the tables are pretty confusing, I had to check a lot of Coda tips videos to understand how to use it at the level desired, so it was hard to integrate in some documents I created.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allow us to have a single document that suits all neeeds for the different teams when working on huge global projects that require a huge level of documentation and collaboration. It really help us to integrate all of it an a single endpoint.
Great multi-purpose tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Coda is like LEGO. I can do most anything I want with it through a combination of formulas, relational databases, custom packs, and automations. The Coda support team is amazing and super helpful!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations in moving between rows from different tables not allowing you to go back to the previous row. Other than that, most inconveniences are minor or features that don't exist yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the issue of stale data and the spread of information.
