An excellent assistant from day-to-day, to business critical information
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use
Ability to adapt how you see fit
Databases! These are honestly one of the best implementations I have seen. I'm a big proponent of tools such as Confluence, but relational databases are crucial to my way of working. I can still integrate these with Confluence, JIRA, Linear etc, but Notion is the best way to keep information in my personal view.

What do you dislike about the product?
Modularised pricing and when you are mid-cycle, pricing annually can be well over 12 months.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Relational database tables - I've said it once and I'll say it again. These are a game changer, especially when you can get Notion AI to create the tables for you.
I can easily share information with the team as required, or guests. AI writing blocks (to summarise notes, create actions) are key as well.

Using Notion for All in 1 Data, Calendar, and Task Management for Business
What do you like best about the product?
I like the AI integration to help me create reports and find information throughout my pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
The calendar is not very easy to use and the survey functionality is not as good as I would like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping our teams tasks all together in one place, with detailed timelines that help keep us on track. It is also used as a central database for our over 3,000 employees to reference.
The most flexible and powerful productivity platform I’ve used.
What do you like best about the product?
What I love most about Notion is its incredible versatility—whether I need to keep things simple with a clean task list or build a complex database system for a client, Notion handles it all. The built-in AI assistant has become an essential part of my workflow, helping me brainstorm, summarize, and draft content quickly across both personal projects and client deliverables. I onboard every new client onto Notion, and the process is always smooth. They find it intuitive and enjoy the ability to collaborate in real-time with all documentation and processes centralized in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I appreciate the vast capabilities, the flexibility can be a double-edged sword—new users can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the open-ended nature of the platform without guidance or templates. I would love for there to be an offline mode - enabling me to edit . Lastly, I’d love to see even deeper integrations with external tools like Google Drive, Slack, and QuickBooks without needing workarounds or third-party automation tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving a major problem I’ve faced for years—scattered tools and fragmented information. Instead of jumping between separate apps for project management, documentation, note-taking, CRM, and content planning, I now manage everything within a single, unified workspace. This has significantly improved my operational efficiency, reduced context-switching, and helped me stay organized both personally and professionally. For my clients, it streamlines onboarding, centralizes SOPs and assets, and enables transparent collaboration. The ability to customize every workspace to match the client’s needs—whether for marketing, operations, or creative workflows—adds tremendous value. The AI tools enhance this further by saving time on writing, summarizing meetings, and creating content drafts, allowing me to focus more on high-impact work.
It was the best of apps, it was the worst of apps: why Notion is the blorst
What do you like best about the product?
Notion should be thought of as a "no-code IDE" and from this frame, it is unmatched. I don't know of any other app that gives you databases and markdown to play with in such a freestyle way. For applications like building a "life OS" or bespoke project management dashboard, Notion's flexibility and framework agnosticism are appealing.
I've used Notion to run almost every aspect of my life for several years, it's excellent for my (very specific) needs. Honestly it has changed my life.

What do you dislike about the product?
Notion is hard to recommend across the board because there are big pros and big cons.
In the latter column: I don't see Notion's vision of a single, integrated app reflected in this product. Even its companion apps (Calendar and Mail) are very poorly integrated.
The main complaint I see from other people online is that Notion can come with a huge cost in setup time and learning curve, and I agree that this is a risk. Notion gives you an empty workspace, which is its biggest pro and biggest con, depending on your use case. If you want a team project management app that is ready to go, Monday or ClickUp might be better.
And the lack of an offline mode is almost unforgivable.

Notion AI: Is it finally worth the upgrade?
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Notion for about three years, across my personal life as a second brain and also to run my language school remotely. Once you get to grips with how Notion works, it really allows you to take down the silos and see connections and also share information easily in an organisation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Up until recently, I didn't really like the sort of tacked-on AI. It wasn't really bringing any benefit, but that's now starting to change with the recent update that allows you to search, research your files and transcribe meetings. I think the value proposition has increased and I like how it's embedded in the business tier which I was looking to upgrade to. So now that that's embedded in, I will be upgrading to take full advantage of these new AI features.
As for further things I don't like, I definitely would prefer granular permissions. I think that would be a big step to making this a complete tool that could be used in bigger organizations or even make things easier with the sharing of databases within organizations like my own which has 10 staff.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, Notion gave me a solution to run my business remotely. Previously, I had a tape-togethered system of a variety of tools. While Notion allowed me to centralize all my operations and management of my school in one place. In some ways, because I was previously on the ground running the business in Thailand for eight years, I think since we've moved our system to Notion and we're running the school remotely, it actually runs better from a management perspective.
The solution allowed me to break down a lot of silos and updating and sharing information with teachers and combining our customer relationship manager all under the one roof. I like the flexibility of how a no-code tool. It allows me to build the system myself, update it, refresh it, and improve on it without needinga technical expert.

My general review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexible features to create what I want (lists, tables, buttons, etc.).
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike not being able to add bullet lists inside table cells.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business-wise, Notion solved a problem of summarizing documents that I write. Previously I would have to reread a document, which could take a long time, but now Notion AI can summarize it for me rather accurately.
Personal-wise, Notion solved my life organization problems. Because of it's flexibility and other features like the iPhone app widget, I'm able to have my "second brain" on Notion and easily find what I'm looking for.

A Game-Changer for Modern HR Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion every day in my HR role, and it’s truly transformed how I organize, document, and collaborate. The flexibility of the platform makes it easy to create living documents, workflows, and knowledge bases that my team can actually use—not just reference once and forget.
The real standout recently has been Notion’s AI features. I rely on it for summarizing lengthy policy drafts, rewriting content in a more human tone, and even generating first drafts of job descriptions or onboarding plans. It’s like having an extra teammate who’s always ready to help me think and write faster.

What do you dislike about the product?
Permissions can be a bit tricky, especially when you're trying to share a single page without giving access to the full workspace or when collaborating across teams with different levels of visibility. I’ve also noticed performance can lag a bit in large, complex workspaces or when there are lots of embedded databases on a single page. And while the AI is great for drafting and summarizing, it’s still learning—sometimes the rewrites feel too generic or miss the tone I’m going for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s also helping solve the “blank page” problem with AI. Whether I’m drafting a new policy, writing a performance improvement plan, or rewording a handbook section, Notion AI helps me move from idea to first draft faster. That means I spend more time thinking strategically and less time formatting or copy-pasting between tools.
