The result is far from satisfactory/satisfying/satisfaction.

Do all three words work for this sentence and is there any difference between them?

Thank you in advance.

.Far from satisfactory. is more commonly heard than 'far from satisfying'. There is no real difference in meaning. 'Far from satisfaction' is not used.
