What is Coda?
Coda is a doc that brings words, data, and teams together. It starts with a blinking cursor on a blank page and can grow as big as a team's ambition. Coda comes with a set of building blocksーlike pages for infinite depth, tables that talk to each other, and buttons that take action inside or outside the docーwhich users can combine to make a doc as powerful as an app. The vendor says people have made Coda docs that do everything from launch products, to scale small businesses, to help them study for tests.
Coda Features
- Supported: Pages: Every Coda doc starts with a page. And can grow into as many pages as desired, so users cannot outgrow the doc, no matter how big a team or idea.
- Supported: Tables & Views: A table in Coda can be as simple as a list or as deep as a database. And it can have customizable, connected views, so everyone can work off the same data, in their own preferred way.
- Supported: Controls: Controls—like buttons, select lists, and sliders—to make a doc feel more like an app for teams.
- Supported: Packs: Packs connect Coda doc to apps in use—communication tools, coding tools, and design tools.
- Supported: Formulas: Formulas can live anywhere in Codaーon the page or in a control or table. These are like the connective tissue between building blocks in Coda.
- Supported: Automations: Automation is the building block that puts repetitive yet important tasks on autopilot.
- Supported: Templates: Popular compositions of building blocks are offered as templates and made them available inside the doc.
- Supported: Forms: Collect inputs and data and synthesize using Coda's building blocks to view and filter data

We were using Coda in my previous workplace to collaborate within immediate as well as cross-functional teams and use one platform for managing all information instead of spreading work across word documents, presentations, excel sheets, and over areas. Coda provides a very intuitive and flexible platform to organise all information irrespective of the formats.
- Very intuitive to use
- Highly flexible- you dont need to think of formats
- Very agile and collaborative
- Integrations with internal tools are not great. You cannot read/write info to other tools of your choice easily.
- Managing scale can get clumsy.
- Onboarding/ initial learning curve is cumbersome for many users.
- One doc does everything
- Integrations with Drive and multiple other tools
- Collaborating and agility
- Has enhanced productivity a lot
- Has improved transparency and collaboration
- Better information management
- Atlassian Confluence, ClickUp and Notion
Coda is not as great as ClickUp or Notion in many ways, but it surely has a better user interface and pricing in my view and allows good collaboration. However, integrations work much better with other competitors as compared with Coda, and would prefer others if pricing was not a very big concern.

Coda Rocks!
Coda is allowing our quickly growing company to consolidate and track OKRs across many different departments and functions. We often have multiple programs, spreadsheets and communication streams floating around about the same topic with unique access to each. Coda has allowed us to bring all of this information together in a consolidated and clean format.
- Collaboration
- File sharing
- Knowledge consolidation
- Automated integration with other programs

Coda Is The Best By Far
Coda is used across the whole organization and it helps us stay unified as a team by having a resource we can all access. I feel that it makes it much easier to communicate with my team. By being collaborative it allows us to have the freedom to add or edit any docs we need.

Coda Is One in/for All!
We use Coda to create documents of all sorts -- text, sheets, anything -- and store them. First off, you can easily create any document type: report, to-do list, poll, spreadsheet, etc. You can add tables, images, voting, ranking... whatever comes to your mind. Then you can organize these documents with ease, creating directories with pages and subpages (also, you can add one of many interesting icons to make it all neat and funky). Finally, you can integrate it all with tools such as Gmail or Slack, which saves a ton of time!
- Document creation.
- Storing documents in a neat and organized manner.
- Integration with Gmail and Slack.
- Design can be improved. Sometimes it looks so 80s (font especially).
- It's not very intuitive.
- Pages and subpages neatly organized (with nice icons).
- Tables; table are more spreadsheet than tables.
- Integration with Gmail.
- It can be used as a source of truth -- all documents can be stored in one place.
- It makes onboarding of new hires longer.
- It makes creation of internal documents super easy.
I was not using anything similar to Coda.

Coda the Giant
Currently at my company we use Coda for all of our shared documents. It's essentially the "office" part of us while we're all working remote. It's a source where we keep company information and track and manage our internal processes, from onboarding to company information to track and manage budgets.
- Organization
- collaboration
- dark mode
- It's hard to know all the features or where to start on building a page
- It doesn't seem very intuitive
- collaboration
- accessibility
- This was one of the reasons someone left the company, she didn't know how to code a Coda doc as well as leadership would have liked.
I don't know why leadership choose Coda over Google, but I do see the value in the organization as well as diversity of what you can do with pages designs and integrations
