Easy to look at and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The capabilities for managing different type of views in pages and the fact that there is a lot of content to learn how to use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the automation features don't meet the requirements for what we do. For example, in our meeting agendas, we want the meeting to be created a week earlier, so when a meeting happens, the agenda for next week should already be available. But there's no simple way of achieving this notion; I had to create a formula to set a date and use that as a reference.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is the tool we now use for all our internal documentation.
My external brain

What do you dislike about the product?
Does not work well with Apple Pencil when using it to write
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing knowledge, resources and tasks. It helps me to be more organised
Notion provides almost everything I need in terms of organization of my work
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create basic blocks - and hence easy to type nice-looking documents;
Readability of documents;
Great search tool across all documents helps find what I'm looking for easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think it is not necessarily clear how to make the most out of the available features. I know there are lots of them and I keep on learning how to use it, but I'm also sure there are a lot of things I'm not aware of.
The databases linking can be confusing.
One major issue is the copy/paste of images - sometimes it just doesn't work to copy an image from notion to a google docs for example or the other way around.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly tasks planning and notes taking.
We still rely on google docs for most of our proper documentation of projects though.

Notion reduces my cognitive load
What do you like best about the product?
The command centre, like page with all my pages linked is the best thing. I like how it takes away the cognitive load of finding, search and organising. I have a million things in my head and everything (atleast most) is there on one page.
I also love the different note types, tables, pages, toggle list, to do list. Its quite exhaustive

What do you dislike about the product?
Command centre is great but took me a while to discover. you actually have to spend time to use notion effeciently. Its not easy to discover the power of notion. I wish they thought of thinking a bit on discoverability of all the power of notion.
Also, some formatting is hard. Like going to next line within a cell of a table is not possible or atleast i havent discovered it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
organising my work and personal stuff.
I mentioned this before the command centre and different formats - pages, tables, toggles, all the power in one tool is unfound anywhere else so i love that.

Excellent space where you can think, write, and plan

Notion offers a unified space for organizing everything that matters. It provides a clean, open platform for thinking, writing, and planning. Customization is central, enabling users to create and arrange pages to suit their needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as of now, I like all the features and functionality personally
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintaining important process information, product details, creating playbooks, and providing updates.
One Stop Shop for Productivity and Organizing - From Travel Plans to Business Processes
What do you like best about the product?
For me, Notion is everything that MS Office lacks. It has integrated AI and serves as a one-stop shop for note-taking, travel planning, social media calendars, etc. I have set up my entire business processes through Notion.
What especially stands out to me is the page system. I am also very fond of the keyboard shortcuts (for bullets, headings, and color), which I learned specifically to increase my efficiency.
Overall, I have integrated Notion into my daily scheduling and note-taking, and I am very happy with it.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have two minor dislikes about Notion -
1. Exporting - Exporting should have more options. Even for PDFs, there should be options to edit how you want the PDF to look. Sometimes the PDF ends up not being formated as per the Notion page. It would be helpful to have editing options before exporting.
2. Table Cells - There is immense potential for notion to create better table cells. They should be easy to use, and have more intuitve formulas. There should be options to add formulas to individual cells.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I mentioned - for me notion is a one-stop shop for note-taking, travel planning, social media calendars, business plans, etc.
It is solving the problem of unproductivity for me through the following way - It is very convenient to have all features like embedded maps and websites, pages, tables, databases calendars etc in one application. It greatly increases productivity.

So much scope and so many integrations
What do you like best about the product?
I really love the breadth of integrations available with Notion - it's so easy to seamlessly incorporate resources and workstreams. There is seemingly endless scope for what you can do with the product, I've moved a lot of what used to be in Google docs or Sheets over to Notion. I also love that even in a business capacity, you have the option for your private pages and work spaces - and I'm also a huge fan of dark mode.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first I found it slightly difficult to get off the ground, it's intuitive once you know what you're doing, but some table views and project management features took a bit of getting used to, especially when not coming from a project management background. I'm sure tutorials / CSM Office Hours would have helped.

Notion's Document Locking Limits: A Frustration for Long-Time Users
What do you like best about the product?
One of the standout new features in Notion recently is the AI autofill and Q&A feature. It allows you to pull insights or summaries from your workspace without having to manually dig through every document.
What do you dislike about the product?
lack of edit access to older documents due to workspace limits remains a significant pain point—especially for users who’ve been loyal for years and now find key content locked behind paywalls or limits.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized hub for all project-related documents.
Notion, information at hand
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, there is nothing I dislike about Notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me stay informed about all the important information regarding my company and work. The operation of applications and all the management tasks that are used daily.
