Coda by Grammarly vs. Zenhub

Coda is great to build a place for your users to go to and see information. It is easy to navigate through and the variety of content creation is great. However, it is not always easy to create what you want and there is a lot of playing around and learning. Coda also sometimes misses some functionality which is expected. For example, downloading a list of users that have access to the platform. Being able to send push notifications when a new page has been created etc. Overall it is a good tool to use just be prepared to invest time!

Zenhub is incredible for the below areas: Burndown Charts, Release Reports, Velocity Tracking, Control Points Charts, Cumulative Flow Diagrams And if there is a bottleneck in your workflow, ZenHub identifies it. The most important aspect is serving as a collaboration tool for areas that are impeding implementation projects. For example when working with non-standard ERPs and having to document ERP integrations this tool is very helpful

• One source of truth: It's incredibly easy to keep everything organized and easy to find.
• Being able to show different views of the same information throughout your doc makes it really easy to customize the information.
• In general, I love the "coding" aspect of it, and being able to do advanced functions has helped us create some really interesting automation and streamline our process.

• ZenHub continually adds to its reporting suite-- that truly allows you to track forward motion and see what issues may be the cause of any delays.
• Both our technical and non-technical staff can understand and use the functionality.
• We like the flexibility of being able to provide labels to our stories that can be customized to the way our company does things--- such as knowing if an epic is part of a module or a stream.
• We also like the flexibility of the number and labeling of the pipelines--- again, very adaptable to our organization.
• The filtering is very useful--- with and/or conditions, and allows people on different projects, doing different functions, an easy way to view what is important to them.

• "Barrier of entry" is a little high for those who do not have any database experience.
• More out-of-the-box integrations with other applications would be nice.
• Performance for very heavy loaded/traffic documents could be improved.
• Scalability for enterprise level customers and doc loads could be improved.

• Sometimes, updates to a GitHub project can get lost if they're made through ZenHub. You do need to open the GitHub project occasionally, as you don't have exactly the same ability to modify issues and milestones from within ZenHub.
• It's great to be able to see your projects from within ZenHub, but sometimes you'll need to check in on the GitHub project itself, as well.
• I've run into some problems with updates getting lost on occasion. I think this happens when you do the update from within ZenHub instead of from GitHub itself. I also don't have quite as much control over my issues or milestones from within ZenHub.

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.

There is a little bit of a learning curve on where to point and click to add in different elements and make edits. But it is still very manageable once you get the hang of it. I do still have some issues with some of my connected pages updating each other when I don't want them to sync. So I'll end up editing one page, and it will make the same edits on another page.

Once it's up and running it's easy to use. It needs a little consideration to get set up perfectly for your own needs, but that is the same for any feature-rich software.

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

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.

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.

Support is good, but quite honestly, I haven't needed any support since 2015. As I remember, I was required to open a ticket and had to wait a few days for resolution. I give it a rating of 8 because of the lag in getting a solid resolution, but it was resolved adequately.

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.

For general use cases, Google Docs or Airtable are often a better starting place. But if things get complex or you're constantly pairing the two together, consider graduating to Coda to save yourself long-term headaches. Notion is great for personal use, but the powerful automation and collaboration features in Coda make it a better fit for teams in my experience so far.

Way better than competition if you use github because it seamlessly integrates without doing anything. You don't need to duplicate your issues, etc. As long as your devs already use github and github issues this will be a no brainer and simple to implement. With JIRA or Trello we were doing everything twice, things got dropped, etc.

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.

• 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.

• We are now able to determine output potential from our development resources based on points assignment.
• We were able to successfully implement an Agile methodology in our department.
• We have been able to better track tasks.
• We have used the releases feature to group our task to business release expections and easily filter.
