Coda vs. Miro

My organization considers Coda for a variety of business and organizational projects. Using Coda, my organization keeps a lot of data and different types of data in one place. The user interface of Coda is very fluid and easy to use. My organization has benefitted from using the efficient and effective operational functionality of Coda.

It is awesome for meetings that require collaboration and they are virtual. Brief meetings however it is not as well suited. I have used for presentations and it is neat but could have more options to help the presentation mode be smoother. Again more template options and flexible template usage would be awesome.

• Flexibility. It's easy to get started on a small scale, but add more complex organization strategies as needed.
• Integrations. It's simple to ingest data from sources like Zapier for time-saving automations.
• Useful components. View table data across different formats like cards or custom detail views.

Incentivized

• Flexible movement of projects and details on the digital whiteboard space.
• My manager and coworkers can easily view what I'm working on.
• Easy connection to the website, it loads pretty fast, and I can stay synced from wherever as long as I log in.

Incentivized

• It takes getting used to in terms of how the formulas per column is implemented, in contrast to how we build tables in Excel. For organization/team purchase, it would be worth considering having a training for the core team of users. Right now, we do a lot of self-learning.
• Inability to email charts or image without these objects being hosted on a third party. The community has been great in providing workarounds but it would be much more convenient to be able to have such ability natively.
• APAC Support. I'm based in Malaysia, due to timezone differences, even with a livechat implemented, the support for each step and conversation takes up to 24 hours per response. Having some hours covered in our timezone would greatly improve customer support experience.

Incentivized

• More Integrations with MS365, especially MS Powerpoint.
• I'd like to have the Company master slides and templates in Miro.
• The Miro Activities feature I find a bit hard to use.
• Integration with Business Objects and having data automatically refreshed and updated.

Coda is definitely something that has been proven to drive positive impact in our organization. We have many divisions that can benefit from this that we have yet to explore. It would definitely be worth renewing.

Miro is extremely simple to use. Its quick adoption as a whiteboard makes it a valuable tool in our technology stack. Google Jamboard worked for us but was clunky. Miro was a breath of fresh air. It allowed us to diagram complex ideas with its native tools instead of forcing Jamboard to do things it just wasn't designed for

Coda can seem either really useful or really useless. The extremes of both ends is driven by what our own understanding of what we want to implement. If we lack this understanding, it will be easy to misunderstand Coda's usability especially in the wrong context.

It's pretty easy to use. My gripes are with some small idiosyncrasies with selection behavior with objects and editing text. When I move an object, it automatically de-selects it when I am not done with it. I have to click to select again. Text control is challenging and could be improved. It could use a little more styling capability. It's also weird that it behaves differently in a shape then when using the text tool.

So far in the past year, we haven't had situations that Coda has gone down for us which is great.

I have never had a problem with the availability

We haven't done any integrations - the initial part of our experience we found that for docs with complex formulas, the page tends to load slowly but in recent months, Coda has improved and optimized the loading times in general and we generally don't find any problems in terms of speed anymore.

Incentivized

Most of the time pages load quickly but occasionally it does take time to point you to the area that you initially worked on.

Mainly due to timezone differences. I think Coda's support in general is well implemented and executed. They know their stuff and are helpful. But since I'm not in the same timezone, solution rates are slower for me, and that's not something I prefer. I work in customer service, too, and more often than not, time is important. Shortening the solution time would be a much greater experience.

I have personally not required support when something was broken but used the training slides provided to get more knowledge of the tool

Not applicable as never had in person training

Superb. very well explained videos. Really helps get the knowledge up on the product. The slides are divided into the topics of usage. I have enjoyed following and implementing all of these slides. The videos are well explained and it is easy to follow. There are tutorials that you can take yourself later. It would be nice however if more training modules were added.

I'm relatively inexperienced but this experience is meaningful. It would have been nice to have some guidance from Coda so that we understood more on Coda's purpose and potential.

My supervisor was the one that implemented it. In all honesty it was just dropped in my lap one day and I was expected to use it. I am fairly good with figuring these things out and Miro is super intuitive so I did not have any problems but there really wasn't much more than that.

While all of the products listed have great features and platforms, there was always one thing missing from them that I would need to get from another application. Coda was the first one we used that really combined some of the best parts of those products and allowed us to use it in one place. I also appreciate the flexibility of creating your own framework and workflow, unlike in other tools where you have to follow how they capture data and organize projects.

Miro has more variety of tools and functions, so it gives more possibilities to users for doing different tasks and has a lot of information organized. On the other hand, Figma works well only for simple ideation sessions where the team only has to have simple interactions and conversations that will have, as a result, simple content or information.

Incentivized

I think scalability is definitely good here since it's based on number of doc makers. Implementation into each dept becomes simpler. That being said, due to the nature of our work, we find it easier that we have a "super user" and then a team of other doc makers. This would make the doc creation and management more efficient.

The product is being used across the company and still no issues with the same.

Incentivized

• Increased insight for all stakeholders involved--both in terms of overview and details
• Better grip on issues and escalations--reduced friction, confusion, and higher clarity on status, next actions, and ownership.
• Reduced time required by those who need to maintain all information. Record (a detail) once and use multiple times.

Incentivized

• Improved productivity.
• Improved collaboration.
• Time-saving vs. using several other tools to accomplish similar outcomes i.e. using MS Project, Sharepoint, and waiting for people to return files after making updates. They get hung up on someone's desktop and everyone is waiting for their turn. This never happens with Miro!
