Essential Daily Tool for Startups
What do you like best about the product?
For a startup like ours, where change happens frequently, it's a great space to reference company standards, team standards, and training sessions. It's easy to navigate and quickly becomes a constant daily tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not everything is updated as often as it should be. This can be a problem when you rely on your team's Notion for SoP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion keeps our company on the same page by compiling all relevant standards and practices for the global team in one place.
Efficient Setup but Watch for Subscription Costs
What do you like best about the product?
I have used Notion to make a family hub for calendar, tasks, chores, meal planning, and another tool for career search and networking tracking. It helps me quickly build the databases and structure for inputs, so I can spend more time using the tool rather than creating it. It also allows for me to make a basic setup quickly and then customize it myself. I like the integration and connection it has to some external services. I can use my Gmail and Google Calendar and to-do to sync between Notion workspace and my other digital tools with Google.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was surprised and disappointed that I need a paid subscription for each workspace I would have. I don't understand the difference rather than keeping things separate instead of in one workspace.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me build databases quickly, so I can spend more time using it rather than setting it up. I also like that I can sync Notion with Gmail and Google Calendar, integrating my digital tools seamlessly.
Ultimate Flexibility: Build Your Workspace Like a Lego Set with Notion
What do you like best about the product?
It’s a Lego set for work
Notion is basically “pages + blocks + databases” that you can assemble into docs, wikis, project trackers, and more. That flexibility is the magic Docs + databases in one place (the “single source of truth” effect)
You can write the spec and track the tasks and link the research and publish the result—without everything living in separate apps. Notion explicitly positions itself for knowledge bases and projects in the same workspace.Notion has an integrations hub (Slack/Jira/GitHub/Asana etc.), plus Synced Databases so external systems can show live-ish data inside Notion.

And for custom work, the Notion API exists for building your own integrations/workflow

What do you dislike about the product?
It’s easy to build a “beautiful mess”
Notion’s flexibility can turn into:
12 dashboards
40 databases
0 clarity
Translation: you can accidentally create a productivity theme park that you maintain instead of using.Easy to start” ≠ “easy to master”
Basic pages are friendly. But databases, relations, rollups, permissions, and stable workflows have a learning curve (and teams often implement them inconsistently).
3) Support can be uneven depending on plan + issue type
Officially: Notion provides support channels like email and in-app chat, and there’s a large Help Center/Academy.

Reality: response time and depth can vary—especially for tricky bugs or account recovery (and enterprise tends to get priority). That variability is a planning risk if you’re running mission-critical ops in it.
4) Lock-in + exports
You can export, but complex database setups don’t always translate cleanly to other tools. If you go all-in, treat it like a platform choice.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems it solves
Fragmentation: notes in one place, tasks in another, “final” docs in 3 more.
Amnesia: you reinvent systems because old thinking isn’t captured.
Context switching: bouncing between apps kills momentum.
Unsearchable reality: you can’t find what you already wrote.
Benefits we actually get
A real operating system for the venture: knowledge + execution + publishing.
Faster creation loops via Notion AI (draft → refine → store → reuse).
Notion

Better retrieval when using AI connectors across tools (if you wire them up).
Notion
Integrations + API options to grow into automation later.

Intuitive, Collaborative, But Needs Reliable Transcription
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Notion is mobile phone-based and very intuitive, which really helps me with transcribing meeting notes. It's easy to collaborate with colleagues, making team projects more efficient. The setup process was simple and straightforward, which was great as a first-time user.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that Notion sometimes drops an entire transcription. I'm not sure what led to the situation, but I lost an entire day's worth of meeting notes in November.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me capture information and data that handwritten notes might miss. It's very intuitive on mobile and allows easy collaboration with colleagues.
Notion helps me level-up professionally
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it allows you to customize your organization in a way that works with your brain. I use it for life planning, professional growth and hobbies.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it had more color customization options. that's about it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me keep record of the many types of data I need to keep track of in my life in one place. In the past I've used multiple google docs, but those lack a dashboard feel and it's harder to toggle between content. With notion, everything is accessible. Finally the best creators in my field release their content on notion, so I feel like I'm a part of the group and can easily access info that has positively impacted my career growth.
AI-Driven Planning Powerhouse
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion for planning my entire life, both personally and professionally, and it really excels in organization, note-taking, brainstorming, task management, and project management. I particularly like their AI and AI Writing Assistant, which functions as a personal assistant within the environment. It helps me create, change, and transform information because it has access to the information I work with daily. Also, setting up Notion was very easy, which was great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Notion could improve by allowing the AI to interface with more integrations so it has access to a wider range of information. I'd like to see image creation, calendar access, and for the AI to have a dedicated app for iOS to help me stay on top of everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for organization, note-taking, brainstorming, task management, and project management. Its AI acts like a personal assistant, transforming information efficiently.
Flexible and Customizable Workflows with Notion Database
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the design of the Notion Database, as it offers users a great deal of flexibility to create workflows that suit their needs. The level of customization available is impressive and allows for a highly personalized experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion offers both a calendar and a mail application, but they don't feel truly integrated with the rest of Notion—they seem more like standalone apps. Additionally, Notion has a steep learning curve, especially when you try to share it with others. People are often reluctant to use it at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is a cloud-based application, so I don't have to manage data storage on my own. It helps me organize my information, and the quick search feature makes it easy to find the data I need.
Notion, a lifesaver for project and doc management
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is very userfriendly and has everything I need to keep track of certain documents and projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the time being, there is nothing that I dislike about Notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion has helped me manage the inventory of workstations I currently have in use.
Flexible Tool That Adapts to My Workflow
What do you like best about the product?
The AI note-taking feature is helpful. I also appreciate that I can use it not just as a notes app, but as a task manager, a wiki, a CRM, or even by combining all these functions together. What stands out to me is how it adapts to my way of thinking instead of forcing me into a rigid structure.
What do you dislike about the product?
The AI note-taking feature does not recognize or display the speaker's name.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This platform brings together notes, documents, tasks, databases, and wikis in a single system. The ability to link everything to each other keeps information interconnected, rather than isolated in separate areas.
The Ultimate Organizational Powerhouse
What do you like best about the product?
I love the creative freedom that Notion provides and the help from the AI assistant. The interface is super user-friendly, which makes it easy to navigate and get things done. I also appreciate the tables and charts, as they help me stay organized and track things I wasn’t tracking before. It's especially helpful for specific projects because I can keep everything in one place and build pages easily. The data tracking features keep me organized in life. Additionally, the initial setup was extremely easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Uploading documents has not been successful; I have to screenshot a document and add it as a picture instead. I'd like to be able to upload a document and view it on Notion rather than having it add a link that I have to click to open in a separate tab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to keep everything in one place, for organization, tracking, and to-do lists.
