Great for Team Task Management and Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Quite helpful in managing my schedule and prioritising tasks, along with my friends.
Adding friends to my group so that we can work on the project together, and managing updates regularly.

What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that I dislike is the poor mobile app experience and lagging issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've seen how messy it gets when team project information is scattered everywhere, making it hard to find what we need. Using a knowledge base solves this. It gives everyone one place to find the right answers.
Notion AI Impresses, But Auto-Save and Databases Need Work
What do you like best about the product?
I was skeptical at first, but it's really grown on me. I like that you can have one document and then share that into several different spaces, so that it can stay updated. The AI is top-of-the line and I really love it! I wish we'd taken more time to map out how we wanted our Notion to look, but that's on us.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do have trouble with the "auto-saving". I will go to creat something, click on the link, and there, it's saved. It's not easy to cancel or delete mistakes, and the databases are hard to understand (but Notion AI really helps).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm better able to sort my work and see it "all together" and that helps me prioritize. I mostly use it as a repository for my team, where I store announcements, work processes, technical and how-to documentation, and more.
Essential Tool for Organizing and Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Notion since 2020, and it has become an integral part of both my professional and personal life. I find its capabilities as my 'second brain' invaluable, using it for planning work streams, managing projects, and even executing tasks directly within its spaces. Notion's note-taking feature is crucial for me, helping to keep my thoughts and work organized across different areas of my life. The tool was very intuitive from the start, making it easy to use both for my startup and in the workplace. Notion serves as a powerful document management system, allowing me to store and organize notes despite my busy schedule. This is exceptionally helpful, especially when I need to revisit specific workstreams. It supports efficient collaboration, keeping teams focused and aligned, which is essential when managing projects and facilitating brainstorming sessions. I particularly appreciate the database functionalities that serve as a remarkable means of storage and organization, making it useful as a CRM for my client's startup. The structuring of pages facilitates a seamless transition from unstructured to structured thought processes. Additionally, it is indispensable as a meeting notes function, solving significant problems for me. Despite not personally paying for it, Notion's role as an incredible knowledge base in the age of AI underscores its value. It feels deeply ingrained in my daily activities to the point where I can't imagine functioning without it. Overall, I would recommend Notion with a score of 10 out of 10 due to its profound impact on my work and daily organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found that Notion could benefit from having more templates for creative individuals. While it works well for commercially oriented users, it lacks the structure that aligns with the creative thinking processes. For instance, my wife, who is a fashion designer, didn't stick with Notion because it wasn't structured in a way that complemented her creative workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to manage documents and notes, making it easy to stay organized and align my team. It helps me outsource brain organization, streamline collaboration, and structure thoughts effectively.
AI-Driven Organization and Seamless Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Notion integrates AI to significantly enhance my organizational capabilities. The AI helps me to quickly access complete information from my databases, which immensely improves efficiency. I find its power to organize and structure new blocks within various elements of my Notion pages very helpful, allowing me to clearly visualize daily information. The comprehensive tutorials offered are invaluable, especially when getting familiar with the blocks and setting up the system. I also appreciate Notion for the robust calendar integrations and widget tools which streamline task management and scheduling. It effortlessly connects with other tools I use, like Excel, Google Docs, and Asana, facilitating a smooth and cohesive workflow for tasks such as customer management and appointment scheduling.
What do you dislike about the product?
I initially found setting up Notion challenging due to its unfamiliarity. It required time to understand the blocks despite the comprehensive tutorial. I also wish Notion provided more template variety to enhance user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me organize information quickly with AI integration and structures my pages for daily clarity.
Great experience as a university student
What do you like best about the product?
Notion helps me to keep track of my deadlines and also my important dates like test day, group due date, ... Also, as a university student, Notion helps me to put every lesson's slides, notes,... into one place and helps me to keep track of my learning progress and to be better prepared. Overall I very much like Notion, with a decorative setting and some aesthetic vibe, everything can be imported to Notion Workspace.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the AI is slow, and also sometimes the setting lags. I think it's because my workspace has a lot of information to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me to keep track of my learning progress by various forms of command, and a lot of amenities to import to the main workspace. I can now see all my deadlines, important dates, ... in one place, thanks to Notion.
Effortless Organisation with Powerful Structuring
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to say organised. Being able to create and store pages within a page is a game changer, and allows me to keep everything centralised per project. The text formatting options are also great!
What do you dislike about the product?
Search can be tricky sometimes unless you know roughly where a file is or what it’s called. That said, the file organisation is much better, so I rarely need to rely on search.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Works much better than Google Docs. It's very easy for me to complete my synthesis and share it out to other members of the team or the wider org.
Great Organization, But Setup Is Challenging
What do you like best about the product?
Organization of notion is really good. But requires a good set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
It s really hard to set it up initially which makes it annoying to get started
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me turn my lecture notes into organized notes in one place.
Primary Source of Information for Company, Needs More Intuitive Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Due to the culture of Notion use at my company, Notion has become a really helpful tool for storing information. Notion AI has become such a game changer, what I used to dislike was the search functionality, but now I just leverage Notion AI.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times where Notion is not intuitive (for me) in terms of building out pages. I also wish it was a better collaboration tool so that I could exclusively use it vs also heavily relying on Google docs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing the need for an intranet and having a repository of information on teams/policies/work/etc.
Powerful Centralized Tool with Custom Views, But Steep Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate having a central system that is utilized within and across teams to access common data, especially since we can all have our own unique view settings in databases.
I am expected to use Notion hourly (or more), but I have struggled to reach 100% adoption because I'm still anchored in Google Workspace.
Speaking of, there is some really strong Workspace integration that makes centralizing information more seamless than ever. If we can figure out the best practice (for us) in setting up pages and projects, we'll get to feel the full benefit of activation.
The interface is generally intuitive, at least to those familiar with similar tools, although there is a steep learning curve at the beginning. When you have a tool that can do as much as Notion can do, there's obviously going to be some time spent learning the sitemap.

What do you dislike about the product?
I find that some records are linked across projects or views in ambiguous ways. This is probably due to how we're using Notion, but it can become excruciating to track down the meaning behind files with similar names.
It would be very easy to accidentally share my private pages with my professional workspace teammates. This can become a problem when documenting sensitive information for HR, for example.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is used to centrally unify efforts across disparate teams nationwide in real-time. There are also frequent updates when edits are made to pages/databases - although these can be somewhat ambiguous ("Someone mentioned you in Meeting Notes" but then offers no clarity as to which meeting or project, if the notes file title doesn't include that information.)
Incredible Productivity System
What do you like best about the product?
It is an amazing all-in-one system for my projects, actions, document storage, etc... The AI deep integration and abilities are next level incredible. It reduces my time, is wildly easy to use, and helps with tasks that I hate doing. I use this virtually all day in my business efforts.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are so many features that the learning curve was a bit steep... but honestly, once I figure it out, it was very easy to use and integrate into my daily workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating Knowledge Bases, refining my writing, storing and retrieving documents, team collaboration.
