Excellent tool to organize information
What do you like best about the product?
Our department manages a large amount of information stored across multiple platforms. It has been challenging to maintain consistency, streamline workflows, and ensure that everyone has access to the resources they need. We've been actively searching for a centralized solution that meets all our needs: user-friendly, visually appealing, multifunctional, and sustainable for long-term use. Time and again, we find ourselves returning to Notion. Its intuitive interface, clean and customizable design, and flexibility to adapt to our evolving needs make it stand out. It has proven to be the one platform that consistently checks all our boxes, making it the ideal choice for our department's long-term information management strategy.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the most challenging aspects of using Notion is the initial learning curve. It requires an upfront investment of time and effort to understand how the platform works and how to best tailor it to your needs. For many on my team, the vast array of features and customization options felt overwhelming at first. However, once they took the time to explore its capabilities and move past that initial hurdle, the experience became much more intuitive and rewarding. With a bit of practice, everything starts to click. In short, the learning curve is real, but it's well worth the effort. Once you're over that first step, everything else flows naturally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our department has been actively searching for a centralized platform to store and manage all of our knowledge, resources, and documentation in one accessible place. With information previously spread across various tools and locations, it became clear that we needed a more streamlined and organized solution. Notion has been instrumental in helping us build out that centralized hub. Its flexibility allows us to create customized pages for everything from standard operating procedures and project plans to meeting notes and team resources. As we continue to build and refine our space, Notion has proven to be a powerful tool in bringing our knowledge together in a way that’s both structured and easy to navigate.
One of the best productivity tools on the PLANET
What do you like best about the product?
I spent years looking for the ONE tool that could be my "second brain". I went from using pen and paper to using 13 different applications, to using just Notion. I wanted one centralized place to manage notes, tasks, projects, goals, taily tracking, feedback, client meetings, ect and Notion fits the bill. Notion is simple and easy to use, there are dozens of free or cheap templates to suit their needs, and I use it every single day. The customer support is east to access and helpful, and I have virtually no complaints. On top of that, Notion AI makes it simple and easy to analyze my data and find things, and makes it easy for my team to do the same.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have virtually zero complaints. Once in a while there is some clunkiness (usually user error) and I also wish there was a way to use specific areas without internet access, but otherwise zero complaints
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps everything in all areas of my life and business in one place in an easy to access, search, and use fashion
Easy to use and beginner friendly!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how customisable Notion is for my needs. It’s flexible in design and isn’t limited by a certain layout. If I need to change how one page looks compared to another, I can, and I love that.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that some features aren’t as easy to understand, like the use of members. I also dislike the need to charge and pay for members individually—$12 is a LOT per person to make them a member.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is helping me centralise everything I have for a project in one location and it keeps it easy to find what I’m looking for.
Notion has been very user friendly and easily adaptable for a multitude of business settings
What do you like best about the product?
The use of the AI tool to help translate business content from English to French.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Notion could be more easily intertwined with Google Apps and tools
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Out of all the AI tools out there, as I work in a business that covers both Ontario and Quebec, the Notion AI has the best translations when going from English to French Canadian. Most tools translate to France French which is very different from French Canadian, and Notion is able to recognize the difference
Transformative AI Features Enhance Notion's Usability
What do you like best about the product?
I found that Notion quickly proved to be a much better tool compared to Evernote and OneNote thanks to its ease of setup and the ability to create tables, databases, and template views of notes. The AI capabilities of Notion are superior, making it fantastic at suggesting node structures and answering questions about online notes without the need for simple text searches. Getting started with Notion was easy and efficient due to helpful resources like YouTube videos and Notion guides. I particularly appreciate the simplicity of creating databases, tables, and notes, as well as linking them. This interconnected nature is further enhanced by Notion's AI-powered search functionality that allows for natural language queries, which is a game changer as I can store all my notes in one place and search them quickly and efficiently. The AI tools, such as creating a new database structure or notes, have significantly accelerated my efficiency. The ability to transcribe and summarize phone call notes is another huge advantage, simplifying how I manage interactions and brainstorming sessions. Overall, Notion's powerful AI features and its simple yet versatile database setup have been essential to my productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the pricing for the AI transcription to be a bit of a blocker. My company does not reimburse for it, which makes it challenging to justify the cost...especially when there are lots of other AI subscriptions I also pay for out of pocket.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to centralize my notes and databases effortlessly, enhancing productivity. Its AI capabilities simplify note-taking and quickly create database structures, making information retrieval efficient and saving time.
I can't live without Notion. Seriously!
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is my primary software for everything - business and life. I can't live without it. And with AI and being able to connect your Google Drive and other tools it is even better. And now AI will build the databases for you, just based on a brief description. It's unbelievable! Thank you Notion team.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't have offline usage, but it's very rare that's an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion gives me the flexibility to keep track of anything and everything I want to, exactly how I want to.
Work altering and streamlined my entire workflow.

What do you dislike about the product?
its busy and alot at times. not too much though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
knowledge sent to me rapidly to ensure business informed decisions
Notion does what all my other AI systems wont
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love that my AI can integrate and research and review all of my databases and workspace information, this is invaluable when I am quickly searching for info inside of a specific service we offer, and it can even read the contents of my documents and extract the specific phrase i am trying to clarify, like SOPs for my high net worth client consultancies.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont like the separation of AI access to file contents when working from a page.
For example, when building out a new page I want to hit "/" and give a command to fill a table with the info from the file on the page above, but the AI cannot read the contents. Instead, I have to go to the file itself and select its options to ask the AI to read its contents and produce a table from there. This little nuance is something I run into a lot.
The same effect happens with the overarching AI on the bottom right if the screen, vs when working with the AI on the page. The overarching AI does not have access to the page contents the same way the Page Specific AI function does when simply typing "/" and listing a commmand.

Quick knowledge acquisition, streamlines note taking in real time
And provides interactive database access on team and personal scales across the entire interface which is absolutely invaluable for our multi-leg organization.

Notion is a Quick Learner
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion in my freelance grant writing work. I increasingly use Notion AI to find information that may be buried in a page under subheadings. It understands my prompts and the more information I add, the more Notion AI learns and can better answer my questions. **Note: I submitted a screenshot of my personal account as I'm not authorized to disclose my business pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get a bit confusing sometimes because I tend to treat it like a Microsoft product when using menu items, and performing tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me compile information I need to perform my work. I write, and the AI function learns the material quickly then remembers it for later use.
Best organising system for work&life
What do you like best about the product?
I can have all of my projects on one same space, as well as my personal things. I literally organise my whole life on Notion, from new projects for work, to my personal appointments and calendar. I use it every single day.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the AI could be better, in the sense of having a chat with it, being able to continue with the questions, just like the chat in chat gpt. It's easier to give feedback that way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps me edit my writing, reate great translations, organise my workflow, keep my projects well organized and with good content
