Notion for documentation and task list
What do you like best about the product?
Helps in documentation just like Google docs, can build task list and check task status, can make a reading list and journals
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't resize uploaded images, sometimes documents are not updated in realtime
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting important notes and help in project management
Useful tool for keeping track of all things at work
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration is simple and effective. Keeping track of things across different pages is possible. Ie. You can keep a data table and show different views at different pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
Files sometimes become unavilable! One time some of my files randomly disappeared. But the notion customer support team was helpful and got my files back in less than a week.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is helping my team and myself share all sorts of resources across teams. The free form of notion is helpful because you can create new asset types - which help us customize asset types for very specific use cases.
Practical but requires ramp up
What do you like best about the product?
I love the flexibility of the tool. The ability to customize it to your needs is priceless. It feels mostly intuitive, but of course to get full functionality, you'll need to learn how to use it for a moderate amount of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could be that I simply not aware of the functionality, but I wish there was automation logic so I could set into sequence some tasks based upon a single click of a button or the like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me keep track of complex projects with lots of tasks. I haven't utilized the collaborative functionality of it but I imagine that would be helpful as well.
Notion has been a great documention tool for me.
What do you like best about the product?
It's a digital filing system. You can store pages upon pages within a single document. Once I learned the functions, I could use Notion personally and professionally. I feel like there are endless possibilities with this platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
The notifications aren't great, especially when working on a team project. I would like them to be quicker, especially when information changes within a specific task or project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is excellent for databases for storing information. It's easily accessible, and the customizable formatting options are great for making a document personal.
Notion is a beautiful, powerful replacement for a typical wiki
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has an attractive and snappy UI. I appreciate the power of being able to define databases (tabular data that can be filtered, have related data, etc) defined right within the UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
With all of the power that Notion provides, there are inevitable complexities. Notion is the first wiki-style tool I've used where I felt that training was warranted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion replaces our self-hosted wiki, which means less effort spent by us as an org on managing a wiki, but also the UI is so much better than the wiki we had that more than just engineers can pitch in on documentation. Allowing non-engineers to be included is a huge lift.
Great software for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Flexible software that allows me to take notes and plan projects, also collaborate with coworkers across departments
What do you dislike about the product?
Databases are still a little basic, could have more excel-like functionality but it doesn't really get in the way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a place to keep everything that is searchable and flexible
Databases are the highlight, but finicky
What do you like best about the product?
The databases are great. It really is the leg up that Notion has, as well as the ability to create and utilize template pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
The databases are so finicky. Databases also don't always make sense to utilize, but the tables are so wildly basic that you are forced to use the databases when they may not be necessary. I also think that Notion feels extremely overwhelming to people because of "+" options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is wonderful for Product Requirement Documents. It solves my needs for internal Product, Design, and Engineering collaboration and documentation, but definitely feels too complex for non-technical teams (x-functional stakeholders) to utilize.
Notion is pretty okay
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to create simple pages and organise data in a nice looking way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Given that my profession is that of a software engineer when dealing with more versatile tools I am used to being able to do exactly what I want. In Notion you are somewhat locked into doing it exactly the way notion wants you to. Often this is enough, but many people give off the impression that you can use Notion to do "anything" or that it can solve all note taking or organisational issues but I don't think so. Also it strikes me as lame that we are forced to have a Name collumn in each database especially since it can just be left blank for all items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organisation of notes, writing, planning etc. Both work and personal projects.
A flexible, cost effective, well documented solution for all of your organisational leads
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is easy to get started and is seriously well documented, so for the most part you can usually find what you need to know on Youtube or other tutorials. It's easier to link databases together than you would think and there are some good templates out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not so much the functionality, but to get the best out of Notion you really do need to understand the basics of databases. I'm not really a database expert so I often have to look things up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a small business owner and consultant I find most of the 'off the peg' systems are too feature rich and complicated for my requirements. I'm using Notion to fulfill a lot of the functions that I'd spread over multiple tools like timesheets, CRM and project management all within one environment.
Just in love with databases!
What do you like best about the product?
I am a former programmer. Now in the startup COO and Co-Founder position, we needed some business "ERP" that would suit our needs. Well, here it is - you can connect and reference any data anywhere and never waste energy with searching and duplicates.
What do you dislike about the product?
As Notion is powerful to customize, this can also be a productivity issue. You have to be aware, if your are building a sustainable workspace that is bulletproof.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handling with business data and tasks.
