Notion

What do you like best about the product?

I appreciate how Notion helps me keep a large amount of research and operational information organized in one place, especially while working in cyber security and threat intelligence. It reduces the need to switch between multiple tools and makes it quicker and easier to find previous research. This consistency in documentation and collaboration with the team is valuable. I like using Notion alongside other tools like Socrata and Kibana, where it acts as a central knowledge base. Notion provides a more flexible and centralized way to organize our research and project notes and documentation. It's an efficient tool for maintaining a shared documentation workspace across the team.

What do you dislike about the product?

Setting up database and templates properly can take some time larger pages can sometimes feel less responsive. overall these are minor issues compared with its flebility and usefulness

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Notion to keep my research organized, reducing the need for multiple tools. It helps me find previous research easily, maintain consistent documentation, and collaborate effectively with my team.

What do you like best about the product?

The customization is what keeps me coming back. Being able to shape a page into exactly what I need, instead of working inside someone else's template, means I've been able to build out little systems that work almost like mini apps for different parts of my workflow. That flexibility alone has sped up how quickly I can set something new up when a project needs it.

It's also just more intuitive than I expected going in. I came from Asana, which handles basic task tracking fine but gets rigid fast once your needs grow past that. Notion has a gentler learning curve even though it can do a lot more, so I didn't have to fight the tool to get it to work the way I think.

Having docs, databases, and tracking all live in one place has cut down on a lot of the manual copying and tab switching I used to deal with, which adds up to real time saved over a normal week.

What do you dislike about the product?

My biggest gripe is how limited the customization is when it comes to look and feel. You can build incredibly complex structures but you're stuck with the same handful of colors and themes, which feels backwards for a tool that's supposed to be flexible. I also wish pinning worked better with scrolling, on longer pages I lose my spot constantly and end up scrolling back up to find a section I was just looking at.

Performance is another thing. It's fine for smaller stuff, but once a workspace gets big, lots of linked databases, nested views, that kind of thing, pages start to lag and it's noticeable. Not a dealbreaker, just annoying when I'm trying to move fast.

The AI features are also just okay. Good for a quick summary or cleaning something up, but it doesn't feel like it actually knows my workspace, more bolted on than built in.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before I started using Notion, my work was scattered across a bunch of different tools and it was hard to keep track of what mattered. I struggled with having no single source of truth, so I'd waste time hunting down the right doc or tracker instead of actually working. Now everything lives in one place, and the page customization lets me build out little systems that work like mini apps instead of forcing me into someone else's template. That's sped up how quickly I can set up new workflows.

Compared to Asana, which I used before, Notion has a gentler learning curve even though it can do a lot more. Asana felt rigid once you got past the basics, while Notion flexes to whatever structure I actually need. Having docs, databases, and tracking all in one place instead of bouncing between tools has cut down on a lot of the busywork too.

What do you like best about the product?

I like the ability to structure page sections with the tab feature, it saves a lot of space.

What do you dislike about the product?

The blank-slate approach forces users to design their own productivity systems from scratch before they can even take a simple note.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Replaces separate apps for notes, docs, and light project management.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is an incredibly flexible and useful all-in-one workspace. I use it to manage my business, organise projects and products, collaborate with colleagues, and document processes, records, and other important information. The customisable building blocks make it easy to create a workspace that fits the way I work, so everything stays together in one organised place.

What do you dislike about the product?

The only real downside has been the time and effort it takes to migrate our information, files, and processes from our old systems into Notion. That said, this feels like an unavoidable part of switching to any new platform, rather than a criticism of Notion itself.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It saves our team time when we’re collaborating on tasks, making it easier to stay aligned and keep work moving.

What do you like best about the product?

the scalability of it. I think usability could be more intuitive though

What do you dislike about the product?

The usability of notion could be improved. It's not the most intuitive. Also leading with tables and copy/paste tables is hard. Have tried also notion AI to edit tables (delete columns/rows) and the result was not satisfatory

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organization of documents. Caching some user results. sharing and working in documents in parallel with collegues

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion solves the problem of keeping information, tasks, notes, and projects scattered across different apps. It benefits me by providing one organized, customizable workspace where I can easily manage everything, stay productive, and find information quickly.

What do you like best about the product?

I like using Notion for logging our system's bugs and issues, as it keeps everything intact and recorded, which helps us have a better workflow. I appreciate the logging format because it offers more ways of writing and customization. The feature that allows selecting details of a bug report and the use of paragraph fonts to segregate parts of the report is particularly valuable.

What do you dislike about the product?

I find the search feature unreliable because sometimes it doesn't provide the report upon searching. Maybe having the reports arranged per application could be a useful improvement.

I use Notion for logging system bugs and issues. It keeps everything intact and recorded, improving our workflow.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion doesn’t just tell me when something is wrong; it also helps me understand the problem and how to improve it, especially when I’m working on documentation.

What do you dislike about the product?

One thing I dislike about Notion is that it can sometimes feel distracting, especially when the formatting and layout change while I’m creating a document.

It finds mistakes in my documents and also gives me explanations for them.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion has a clean, flexible UI that makes organizing notes, projects, and tasks feel natural. I like the range of integrations and how quickly pages and databases load. The pricing offers good value for the amount of functionality included, and onboarding is straightforward with plenty of templates and resources. Its AI features are also useful for summarizing, organizing, and finding information without disrupting the overall workflow.

What do you dislike about the product?

Notion can feel a little overwhelming when you first start because there are so many customization options. Some integrations could be smoother, and larger workspaces can occasionally feel less responsive. The AI features are useful but can add to the overall cost, and I’d like to see more hands-on onboarding and support for new users.
