What do you like best about the product?

A colleague turned me on to trying out Notion, and from that very seedling of a first page I edited, I've used Notion extensively and continued to bloom with it — even written the equivalent of a few novels in it. It's compiled features I've used in other tools, and made them a lot more elegant and streamlined.

Historically, I'd often get frustrated with how Google Docs, Zendesk, and others mangled my formatting, with unpleasant errors galore. By copypasting the same stuff into Notion, I could essentially clean up that detritus. And there's NO separate "publish" step, a page has live-editing! (You can always do a "staging/test" on a separate page, if need be.) Plus, making pages public or targeting shares is super-easy.

My business uses of Notion include project management for task tracking (via card columns), comprehensive user documentation (and the process of translating it from internal ➜ external consumption), and presenting ideas. On the home front, my wife and I also used it to write and edit our wedding vows, record proof of stuff needing repair, and so on. In short, there were times I was getting involved with another tool, then went — "Why, Notion can already do that! Just use Notion!" And one of my favorite uses of Notion is keeping track of my musical productions, serializing them with annotations, so I'm clear on what's almost done, what needs to be delivered, and what I might just be mucking around with.

I get excited at new Notion features adding value (tip: stay tuned to https://www.notion.so/releases !) and not overcomplicating the mix. I've seen other tools where the balance tipped a certain way and obfuscation got in the way of a good thing. So its growth trajectory over the years has been promising.

I like how I can drag audio files directly into Notion. I'm disappointed at what other tools (like Nuclino and Miro) to date still don't support us sound citizens.

The use of emojis, colors, and visual elements makes pages a lot more colorful and memorable — and dare I say, even fun!

Overall and importantly, Notion makes it easy for different departments to get involved, including team members that consider themselves "non-technical". It hasn't raised hackles like other tools with a jagged learning curve that are "unintuitive".

The backup feature is reassuring, something you don't think about going in, but you'll need it down the line if your data is even remotely precious to you.

Support has usually been quite helpful to me, and my many questions across time. Sometimes they'll overcomplicate matters by asking for unnecessary info on a small obvious thing... but I know it's just because they want to learn more. Better to err on the side of overcommunication, right? :D

What do you dislike about the product?

I wish we could add more custom styling — not going crazy, but custom colors with exact RGB values for text and solid background colors would make a big difference with matching branding. I know there are 3rd-party tools that aim to address these needs and things like custom domain names, but having it integrated seems really fundamental.

Also, when I last checked, there wasn't a way to see original code used for IFRAMES, which seems terribly clunky, since it means I have to store that code somewhere else (like in a separate Notion page), or risk it being obfuscated. This matters for anyone using embeds like Bandcamp and SoundCloud widgets with custom parameters.

But on the whole, Notion has been awesome!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

See the "What do you like best?" section above, where I address that. To summarize, even though I've used it for many things (just about all the main advertised use cases!): at present, Notion helps me organize and retrieve loose pieces of data in an approachable and neat way, like turning various Slack messages into a fully-formed help article, and keeping my projects moving forward.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is a must productivity software for businesses or students. I use it as note-taking software for my study (Computer Science); the thing I love most is that you can create as many databases as you want, and it is possible to do a lot of operations with the data.

What do you dislike about the product?

The part I don't like is that it is not as famous as other productivity software that offers less. It doesn't have many features, but I am sure the developer will add them in the following months.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it as note-taking in my university path. I'm a computer science student, and it helps me to create tables with automatic functions and roadmaps for my projects

What do you like best about the product?

The UIX is really nice, and all the functionality makes it easy to merge and upgrade most of companies worklfow.

What do you dislike about the product?

There's still functionality that are missing but Notion team is working actively on adding requested features.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion helped us organize all our processes and files and allowed us to have a single place truth.

What do you like best about the product?

Everyone in our company putting together their piece of the puzzle to make the work easier and more effective for colleagues.

What do you dislike about the product?

Putting together statistic. There are not enough automation solution, like how I want it to.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am working with statistic so i reached out to the notion support and they told me that they were working with a '+ button' that you could produce inside a table.

What do you like best about the product?

1. Elegant UIUX, Layout, Simplicity inflows and Structures
2. Necessary Templates
3. Efficient cross-team collaboration
4. Team Management
5. Billing System
6. Support

What do you dislike about the product?

1. No apple pencil support

4. No Grammer Check or Integration of any other grammar check application on desktop application

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The notion is to help us to solve documentation clutter issues across the team in the organisation. Our organisation-wide documentation/knowledge base was fragmented across all teams. Collaboration/Access/Sharing and keeping the logs of these were challenging for us.
We have used multiple documentation tools for managing and creating our documentation but due to a lack of features and complexity team were facing the issue. So most of the team members are using Notion for their personal purpose and everyone is very well versed with Notion so we took the decision to move our documentation stack to Notion. Due to this, we minimize the onboarding and training time on Notion and the feature richness allows us to do more creative things on Notion.

What do you like best about the product?

What i like best is the ability to build a Quick Brief for clients, based on previous template
Also tool is simple but you can create much more complex page including database, formula; it will compete with excel but again for fast and clear presentation, this is very handy
Is it a very nice tool for marketing overall

What do you dislike about the product?

1)You can't create Folder!!
Ask for this request many times, but it just seems to be an essential feature;
right now, we have only pages that could work potentially as a "folder," but the thing is, many pages for one marketing project will have different teams involved with different lvl of access, so you don't want to have all your pages regroup in one page only as sub pages (i can't go into detail but this will surely be an issue for you if, like me, you manage different teams with different permission) , you want a simple folder, and this will change so many things

2) Some features don't seems to be on point and/or logical
* the ability to create your own template
* When you duplicate a page and make changes, but it applies to both page
* when you charge an existing Database for one specific project, make some modification, and this applies to the original database as well!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to share online with many teams a marketing strategy including different layers of access
Share draft easily among client
I save time compared to my previous way of work (which was via group channel & drive )

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is by far the easiest way to get information presented on screen in a good looking and easy to manage format that allows for collaborative editing by multiple people at the same time.

It's very easy to drop different media types and links into your documents and have Notion simply auto transform it.

What do you dislike about the product?

There is no way to export audit logs to automatically for security visibility.

Working with databases and tables inside Notion is cumbersome and there also isn't any simple way to link different pages to each other.

Each page is completely stand-alone unlike some other platforms that allow interlinking with views.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion makes collaboration between multiple teams and persons very simple and straight forward in real-time while also making it look good quite simply.

We use it across the business as an Intranet of sorts, storing our processes, documentation and SOP's as well as IT self-help guides for easy user access.

External sharing also works really well.

What do you like best about the product?

The best is the flexibility of the tool! What I like is that I can start, build pages, without any idea of the structure or hierarchy. Then you can do anything you want, organize your content. And Notion is connected to all the most popular tools of the world!

What do you dislike about the product?

For me, it took a certain time to understand the logic of Notion, how to start with it. But after some trials and maybe particularly one good use case, I finally started to work on it and now I work on it with my teamates.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Team collaboration!
All needed content for projects are centralized
Access management, so I can isolate public knowledge base, but also use private pages for my clients

What do you like best about the product?

the flxibility to design a dashboard, a place which has the elements / objects that make me mroe productive (tasks, todos, diary, 'for today' etc).

What do you dislike about the product?

imability to create more spaces. 'workspace' and 'private' are simply not enough. inability to edit text font size inside a tabke.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion solves for designing pages that fit the needs of my team - flexibility. databases that can be designed in any way we need.

What do you like best about the product?

I like databases the best, they are strong enough to keep infos, and stylish to be good looking everyday

What do you dislike about the product?

The app can be really difficult to learn, I've spend some days / week to accommodate but once you're there, everything's logical

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
