Notion - A Great Platform for Documenting Processes or Creating a Knowledgebase
What do you like best about the product?
I like how flexible it is to accommodate our needs, though it also can be a bit more work to understand how you want to configure what you are doing. However, regardless of how you set it up, the AI seems very capable of pulling all the information together to provide answers to queries on processes or information.
The AI portion is really the best feature to be honest. It is very easy to implement, just install and add your users, then you need to figure out how you want to use it and how to lay out your spaces and how to use them.
It is a great tool for my IT team to be able to document what each of use does so when we are away, others can find the information they need as backups.

What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like the templates are a little lacking in that they don't maybe offer enough details to help you understand the best way to do certain things. But perhaps watching more of the instructive videos would help much of this and I will be doing so to see if that shines more light in the areas I feel I am not 100%.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting IT processes and then being able to easily get that information in order to allow IT members to better be able to cover for someone in their absence.
Great for organising and prioritising daily work
What do you like best about the product?
The structure of the databases – we’re not talking to-do lists or tables: we’re talking flexible, searchable information organisers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Less of a Notion issue, but being able to connect to third party apps that are not permitted by my organisation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps me with structuring projects in a simple way with database entries that I can categorise as meetings, notes, planning, etc. and the ability to create timelines for work.
Cost-Effective Alternative with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Notion's ability to keep everything organized in one place, like notes, records, and information about personal interests, which helps me easily access important details when needed, such as at a doctor's appointment. The feature that allows me to save everything from text to PDF documents is incredibly useful. I also enjoy the visual customization options, like adding icons and header graphics to projects, which enhance the appearance of my workspace. I am learning to like the database functionality, which adds more depth to how I manage my tasks. Notion is cheaper than Evernote, which is one of the reasons I decided to continue using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the Notion interface not very intuitive, particularly with formatting. Initially, I was confused about highlighting text and adding bullets, which I expected to work similarly to other applications like Google Docs. The process felt clunky, and it took me some time, with external help like YouTube videos, to understand the shortcuts necessary for efficient formatting. Even now, I wish it was easier to perform typical formatting tasks I'm familiar with from Google Docs. Additionally, while Notion is beneficial for organizing notes and records, it hasn't yet been effective as a day-to-day, moment-to-moment to-do list. I'm still in the process of building a system within Notion that suits my needs, which indicates some ongoing usability challenges. And though I appreciate the AI feature for creating tables and databases, I have not found too much use for the AI feature yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to keep my notes and records organized in one place, simplifying access to important information like medical records and to-do lists, which helps reduce decision fatigue.
Essential for Life Organization, Needs Smarter AI
What do you like best about the product?
I love using Notion for organizing my life, whether for school, work, or managing multiple businesses, as it consolidates everything in one location, keeping me on track effortlessly. The user-friendly interface with features like databases and Kanban boards helps me stay organized and prioritize my tasks, eliminating the need to constantly plan my next steps. I discovered Notion's capability to integrate with various aspects of my life, thanks to influencers showcasing its customizable options, sparking a strong interest in utilizing its full potential. Overall, these features greatly enhance my productivity and organization skills.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the initial organization within Notion challenging. While it's user-friendly for small-scale tasks, getting databases linked correctly and creating dashboards that align with my conceptual vision took a significant learning curve and a lot of time watching different YouTube videos. Also, I'm not impressed with the AI features in Notion. They feel more like a glorified search engine for organizing existing content rather than offering insightful, external AI capabilities. Additionally, the experience with setup led to unexpected charges, which was frustrating, particularly when I just wanted some setup help from my nephew.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to organize my multifaceted life, helping me brain dump and prioritize tasks without overthinking my next steps, thereby simplifying and aligning everything in one location.
Perfect for AI organization of notes, ideas and prompts
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy ti implement and create new databases and views. I love the AI feature and the fact that it seamlessly finds, edits, and creates new entries and whole data sets too. The meeting note taker has been a complete game changer for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. There is a bit of a learning curve with all the advanced applications but to start, it's easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion every day for note taking when on a zoom call or when needing to take a voice note or transcribe a video. It solves having notes scattered everywhere and not easily searchable. With notion I push a button, have my meeting, and my meeting notes, transcript, and summary are all in my database and compleately searchable, and ACTIONABLE with the build in AI
Notion has replaced so many other systems for me
What do you like best about the product?
It is a powerhouse project management and notetaking tool. I used it to organize everything when I wrote my first book, from mood boards to interviews with other authors to the budget. I use it to organize everything for my podcast, and it keeps everything connected. I even use it in my personal life to keep track of those little things that I need to remember (like answers to secret questions to log into websites, and what everybody in my family likes to order from different restaurants). I like the Chrome extension for bookmarking sites that I need to refer back to. The addition of their AI tools makes it even better. It transcribes all of my meetings and summarizes them. I can use their most recent AI upgrade to have it build new pages for me. The internal search is outstanding. You can also connect it to many other platforms. I also use their Mail and Calendar, which also helps keep everything together in one place and connected. Their customer support is fast and helpful. They even provide some 1:1 live support. This is one of the first apps I open every day.
What do you dislike about the product?
It may not be suitable for everyone, as it is based on a database model. It takes a little while to get used to building new pages or customizing templates you have purchased or downloaded. You can't sketch or do any freeform activities (like make boxes, add arrows to things). It is limited in the fonts and colors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me organize everything in one place. Since everything is in one system, it is easy to find things, connect data, and avoid the need for or expense of multiple systems. Without Notion, I would need to copy and paste data from one system to another.
Strong, but still a bit wonky
What do you like best about the product?
I love the seamlessness of the Notion AI, many of the bugs have been sorted, and the ability to turn it into an "Agent" is nice ― however, I wouldn't quite yet call it an agent IMO. Perhaps I'm not using it in the best possible way yet, but I love the developments.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit clunky. Even with the context I've provided, it doesn't always interpret my commands as I would hope. Further, it needs more work with integrations.
Last thing, with meeting notes, I want it to auto-record zoom and google meet meetings and then put it in the right workspace area. Right now, it's not intuitive.

Meeting note transcription and email drafting from those meetings.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Speed & Performance
Sometimes it feels a bit slow to load large pages or databases, especially when you’re working with a lot of content.
2. Complexity for New Users
The flexibility can be overwhelming at first, there’s a steep learning curve before you get the hang of setting up workspaces and databases properly.
3. Offline Use
Notion’s offline functionality still isn’t great. If your internet drops, you can’t really work seamlessly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps us consolidate knowledge and workflows that were previously scattered across multiple tools. Instead of jumping between docs, task trackers, and shared drives, we now have one central place for project plans, meeting notes, and team documentation. The AI assistant helps speed up writing and summarising, while Enterprise Search means we can quickly find information without wasting time. The benefit is fewer silos, faster decision-making, and a big boost in team productivity.
The tool Ive dreamed of for my Company
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to upload all of my company's documentation, have AI analyze it to gain a deeper understanding of our business, and then use those insights to approach new prospects is something I have always wished for. Notion AI has finally made this a reality for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
The segmentation of database lines to prevent my clients from having full access to all data still feels a bit rough and unfinished. While the AI is quite powerful, it continues to produce some hallucinations that need to be addressed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion AI has made it much easier for me to handle prospecting, manage orders, and provide customer service, all in a seamless way.
