Versatile Tool for Comprehensive Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I love how flexible Notion is, allowing me to create different types of pages for various purposes. It is incredibly helpful for organizing my notes, managing big projects by breaking them into smaller tasks, and being able to easily track updates and take notes, which saves me time.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I first started using Notion, it felt overwhelming due to the vast number of features and customization options. It took me some time to adapt and understand the setup.

the most important thing about using motion is that it is really easy to use and it have numerous features and it is really helpful for small business owners.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's only one thing that is not upto the mark that if I am assignign the task to a person on my team, there is no option to give me a rating after the work is completed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problems that notion is solving is that:
1. I can easily collaborate with my teamates and even i can assign tasks to them
2. The task that are assigned to the teamates can also have a deadline so that you can see when the task have to be done.
3. You can set the task priority and its a great features for the business owners
Thats the main features of the software

Very useful
What do you like best about the product?
I love the lists that I can make for my diet plans, for my travel itinerary, for photo ops, I love that you can also copy pictures. And of course love the AI feature
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s a bit expensive and don’t end up using it as much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s a good to do list
Notion's ease wins in knowledge hubs; could focus more on personal and small-team use
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is generally ready to go out of the box for knowledge wiki as well as relational database work (the latter being where you can really dig into structuring your data). In general, I've mostly been an Airtable fan for its database side, but Notion is arguably better at more accessible knowledge management. It is simple and intuiive to link pages, notes, and databases into something that feels like my a knowledge hub without a ton of setup or background.
What do you dislike about the product?
Generally, I'd have to say (and Notion is by no means alone in this) the the biggest downside is the pricing, It ramps up fast for teams, much like Airtable and others have become: very enterprise focused. Free self-hosted options like Docmost or Affine can come close in features, but they require dealing with all the setup and maintenance headaches.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion solves the hassle of scattered notes and disconnected info especially in a world of (too many) options and platform sprawl. Ideas, tasks, and docs all link together which saves me time digging through files, emails, shares, etc and helps stay organized without overcomplicating things, especially compared to other more rigid setup tools or the maintenance grind and overhead of self-hosted tools.
Personal KMS
What do you like best about the product?
As a personal knowledge management system (PKMS) I am able to park several personal/family projects as well as plan my next professional steps. The addition of AI allows me to prioritize my days pulling from several different areas. It just continues to get better!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the databases acted more like spreadsheets but that’s not what this is built for. Besides, embedding G:Sheets is a breeze.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I never lose ideas, projects, tasks or deadlines because they all live in one workspace, both personal or professional.
A very useful tool for overall management.
What do you like best about the product?
Perhaps the most appealing aspect is the wide variety of tools it offers. I started using Notion to write drafts for the books I was working on, but then I realized its versatility and started using it to manage my finances, keep notes/records of my university lectures, and maintain a personal record of what happens during my week, kind of like a journal.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I don't like is how many of the useful features are behind a paywall. After using the Plus plan for several months, I discovered the benefits of the education plan, so I switched to that using my university email address. Along with that change, I decided to add Notion AI to complement the education plan. However, when I tried to use features like AI meeting notes, they were limited because I'm on the education plan, which would require me to pay $24 per month instead of being able to access it through the Notion AI add-on. It's a bit disappointing, since it's a feature that would be very useful for my work. I could name other features, such as limited number of charts or elements to use in your page, but the one that disappointed me the most, was in regards to meeting notes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well, more than solving problems, I think it just optimizes the process behind the tasks I work on every day. It made it easier to track where my money goes, how to budget, and overall have a simpler experience when working with my finances. Same goes for note taking. It was a mess having documents over several folders for my class notes in my computer, and now everything is under a dropdown menu in one of my Notion pages.
Consistently useful AI writing capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is my organization's source of truth for a broad range of information, including competitive intelligence, messaging guidelines, marketing and sales collateral, and approved customer quotes.
I love that Notion helps us centralize information, and I love even more that we're able to combine that source of truth with Notion's AI writing capabilities. That combination is incredibly powerful when it comes to summarizing research and drafting content that's actually grounded in our previous work.
For example, we direct our sales team to use the "ask Notion AI" feature to get fast answers drawn from our own competitive research database. That means we can focus on adding competitive data and insights vs taking the time to summarize our research into short talking points for each vendor.
Our marketing team frequently uses Notion to derive new content from the messaging guides and assets we've already created and reviewed, especially short supporting content such as emails and social posts to promote the original work. The "improve writing" and "make shorter" options are also great shortcuts to help accelerate writing work.
I'm also a big fan of Notion databases in general! I use them all day, every day.

What do you dislike about the product?
FWIW, my answer here is long because I love the product and use it so heavily! With that in mind, these are all things I think could be more powerful.
One downside of Notion AI is that search results have declined in quality a bit, as is the case with a lot of AI-powered search these days. I expect this to improve again over time as the team continues to make improvements.
Very long or detailed pages can also start to lag, especially shared pages with lots of tables. I've had issues working with long documents in general - for example, let's say I want to use call transcripts to draft a case study. The good news is that Notion AI can do a great job of cleaning up a transcript for readability or even generating an initial case study draft. The bad news is that if the transcript doc is too long, I may not be able to paste all of it into one Notion page, and even if I'm able to upload it, Notion AI may not be able to process the entire document. To work around this, I typically sanitize transcripts in Google docs first and paste each call transcript into an individual Notion page.
Notion databases are already pretty powerful, but there's so much potential for small improvements that would add real business value. For example, wowww would we be able to get value out of improvements in database visualizations. Even just the ability to display a data base field's title within the card view alongside the field's content would help us get closer to turning our competitive database entries into sales battlecards.
I also **desperately** wish Notion allowed formatting within databases and tables (my kingdom for bullets within tables!!!), which would unlock so much value. I think Notion AI is also limited when it comes to generating content within tables, which is a shame. Currently tables are a much cleaner way to display information than databases, but they're obviously also more limited.

Notion is the heart of our tech stack and we run our entire organization off of it.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is complex enough to create deep integrations and easy enough to get set up for simple use from our volunteers and new employees.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion isn't granular enough to limit certain editable rights for every level of employee and volunteer we have, which can be a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We replaced Salesforce with Notion. It now acts as the central source of truth for our entire organization. It is a CRM, knowledge base, data input (with forms), reporting, and several webpages.
