Powerful Centralized Tool with Custom Views, But Steep Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate having a central system that is utilized within and across teams to access common data, especially since we can all have our own unique view settings in databases.
I am expected to use Notion hourly (or more), but I have struggled to reach 100% adoption because I'm still anchored in Google Workspace.
Speaking of, there is some really strong Workspace integration that makes centralizing information more seamless than ever. If we can figure out the best practice (for us) in setting up pages and projects, we'll get to feel the full benefit of activation.
The interface is generally intuitive, at least to those familiar with similar tools, although there is a steep learning curve at the beginning. When you have a tool that can do as much as Notion can do, there's obviously going to be some time spent learning the sitemap.

What do you dislike about the product?
I find that some records are linked across projects or views in ambiguous ways. This is probably due to how we're using Notion, but it can become excruciating to track down the meaning behind files with similar names.
It would be very easy to accidentally share my private pages with my professional workspace teammates. This can become a problem when documenting sensitive information for HR, for example.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is used to centrally unify efforts across disparate teams nationwide in real-time. There are also frequent updates when edits are made to pages/databases - although these can be somewhat ambiguous ("Someone mentioned you in Meeting Notes" but then offers no clarity as to which meeting or project, if the notes file title doesn't include that information.)
Incredible Productivity System
What do you like best about the product?
It is an amazing all-in-one system for my projects, actions, document storage, etc... The AI deep integration and abilities are next level incredible. It reduces my time, is wildly easy to use, and helps with tasks that I hate doing. I use this virtually all day in my business efforts.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are so many features that the learning curve was a bit steep... but honestly, once I figure it out, it was very easy to use and integrate into my daily workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating Knowledge Bases, refining my writing, storing and retrieving documents, team collaboration.

variables, relations and collaboration between databases
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish there was more spreadsheet functionality in the databases

Timekeeping & project management at the same time
Notion is great, don't sleep on it
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is great at organization and building whatever you want to build to store information. It also integrates well into multiple programs.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Notion is that there are never enough features!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving our team's workflow and how things get submitted by the deadline. It is also great for organizing projects and deadlines, taking notes with AI meeting notes during meetings, and the ability to build a personalized Notion that works for you and your team.
Notion AI Makes Finding Documents Easy
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a big fan of the AI assistant. We have a lot of documentation bloat and it's not always organized neatly, so being able to ask questions in Notion AI (and connecting other apps) is really helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
It feels very easy for documents to get lost in Notion. There are nested sub-directories and I often have to use the AI tool to find a specific document.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One example is that we use a Notion database as our data dictionary. We upload a CSV from our tracking tool that contains all of our events and descriptions, and it's available to all team members.

Great for Organization, But Takes Time to Learn Features
What do you like best about the product?
Keeps me organized and provides a one stop shop for notes that my team can access. The AI features are also great to quickly search our database
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a bit confusing how to get started and there's a lot of cool features but it can be hard to find how to use these at times.

Streamlines Workflows Without Annoying AI—Excited for Future Growth

I haven’t ran too many dislikes. I am excited to see you increased growth in how Notion utilizes AI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creative Features Galore, But Needs More App Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the extensive selection of build-out features and AI options available. I enjoy exploring the creative possibilities for setting up various types of pages and accessing different features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like it if there were more options to integrate with other apps, such as Zoom.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool has really improved my note-taking experience. I subscribe to the AI transcript feature, and I find it much more helpful than the AI summary in Zoom. I enjoy seeing it transcribe and edit the audio for me. In contrast, I don't like the AI companion in Zoom because it tends to use its own language too much and doesn't provide a transcript, which I find more valuable. The excessive jargon often causes it to miss the key points.
Effortlessly Organized and Easy to Search
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to search for things and organize thoughts
What do you dislike about the product?
Code blocks aren't indented automatically
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing documentation, sharing files with people across the org
