Powerful Service with Incredible Tools
What do you like best about the product?
Though it's intimidating to get started with, the variety of tools and templates available make this one of the most powerful platforms out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
I want to love it, but the Notion Inbox isn't that great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
From note taking to tracking projects, I'm using Notion more and more.
Flexible, Scalable, but Needs Performance Optimization
What do you like best about the product?
I like Notion's flexibility and scalability, as it works just as well for simple workflows as it does for more structured team processes. The flexibility lets us tailor it to our specific process instead of changing how we work, and as we grow, it scales easily from simple task tracking to more structured systems without needing to switch tools. I appreciate how using Notion helps keep information centralized and reduces miscommunication by giving everyone a single source of truth. The initial setup was very easy and hassle-free.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that performance can slow down as workspaces grow, especially when working with large databases or pages with a lot of linked content, and it happens occasionally rather than all the time. Onboarding new team members also takes some time, and clearer templates, guided walkthroughs, and short in-app tips would make it easier for new team members to get started quickly.

Notion helps me keep information centralized and reduces miscommunication by providing a single source of truth. Its flexibility allows us to tailor our processes without changing how we work, and it scales easily from simple tasks to structured systems, making it invaluable.
Flexible Organizer with a Slight Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion to organize my daily tasks, store notes, and plan both work and personal projects. It helps me stay organized and keeps everything in one place instead of being spread across different apps. I like how clean and flexible it is. It adapts well to different workflows and grows with my needs. The block-based editor and database make a big difference. Being able to mix text, tasks, tables, and views on the same page lets me set things up in a way that fits how I work. The initial setup was very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The app can feel a bit heavy at times, and some features take effort to learn. It feels a little slow sometimes, and a few features aren't very intuitive at first.

Outstanding Experience with This Software
What do you like best about the product?
Notion stands out as an incredibly versatile and robust tool, capable of adapting to a wide range of workflows, whether for note-taking, knowledge management, project tracking, or documentation. The way it brings together databases, documents, and structured information in a single platform is truly remarkable. After getting the hang of its features, you may find it can take the place of several different tools, allowing you to build a workspace tailored precisely to your needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main challenge lies in the learning curve, particularly when dealing with databases. Although the platform's flexibility is a significant advantage, it also requires careful planning and time to create organized, efficient systems. If I don't use it consistently, I tend to miss out on its more advanced database capabilities, which has made me use it less frequently in my daily routine, even though I recognize its strong potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps consolidate complex information into structured databases, which is especially valuable for managing research notes and long-term projects. Instead of scattered documents and files, it provides a centralized system where information can be categorized, linked, and revisited over time. While I am not yet using it as consistently as I plan to, it is clearly well-suited for scalable knowledge management and future workflow expansion.
Effortless and Flexible—A Productivity Powerhouse

So far, I haven't discovered anything about Notion that would discourage me from using it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The centralization of information has greatly improved how we manage our project.
Fast Note Organization, But Editing Tools Need Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
The AI feature allows me to organize my notes very quickly. I use it every day and it helps me create useful pages quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The editing tools aren't as powerful as Confluence. Keeping revisoned pages is also hard. Theres no solid way of integrating into Jira and its tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving the problem of unappealing wiki based info systems and makes it appealing.
Notion is Great for Project Management and Life Organization
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is great in that it is very customizable for all my project management, notes, even helping me organize my personal life. The pages and databases are feature areas I use all the time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was on the first personal plan and had the AI addon. I was forced to join the business account which cost significantly more..... I feel this transition should have happened smoother over time so the sudden price shock wouldn't be as impactful.
Also, I have been asking Notion support to add this one feature for years now but they haven't: the feature is the ability to set the width to "Full Width" for all pages by default, via a toggle. Would be very easy to do, other Notion users have told me they want it, but Notion has not taken note.
The weakness for Notion is it doesn't handle photo and video galleries very well, its very clunky to manage photo libraries in Notion.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me design a project management area where I can sort different data, notes, etc... into different sections and then publish or share them to my colleagues.
Flexible and Visually Engaging, Easy to Set Up
What do you like best about the product?
It's very flexible and easy to set up in a multitude of ways to what works best with you!
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a small learning curve to get things set up if you're transitioning from another software, but I love how I can make this much more visually engaging!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion has allowed me to manage personal projects, share vital information with people who need and it collaborate with others easily! It's easy for me to find notes and move them around later to a better filing system too!
A place to keep everything in your life organized from notes to call transcripts to to-do lists and beyond
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Notion makes it easy and organized. The way it's set up and structured allows me to organize my notes on one page without it being just a jumbled mess. Even if I have a mess of notes, it can clean them up for me instantly. I appreciate that I can use it for writing journals and organizing different types of notes and interviews. At work, it helps me organize all my notes too. I find the templates for any type really useful, and the AI feature is awesome for organizing messy notes instantly. Notion's flexibility is amazing because it doesn't box me in, allowing me to keep everything in one place, be it my to-do list, notes, or personal stuff.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Notion could be a little bit more intuitive. It's kind of a learning curve at first. The templates are all kinda buried, and you don't realize how much Notion can do at the beginning. You have to really learn and dive in deep to figure out what it can do. Most of my team members don't use it just because they look at it and they don't see the value right away. So I think they could do a better job of providing the value of Notion and make it easier to get started and understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for work and personal tasks like note management, calls, and sourcing info. It organizes my notes, cleans up messy ones with AI, and helps keep everything on one page. It makes everything easy and organized, including a strong to-do list feature.
Powerful Knowledge Management with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the app and the website for Notion both seem to be just as powerful. I also appreciate the good options for formatting pages. It's important for our company because we have a ton of documents and resources, and it allows for people, especially new hires, to easily search for content.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think some features that are not available in our package, and have to be upgraded to should be basic features. I shouldn't have to purchase a higher plan in order to download a CSV of all my content. Currently, I'm only able to download a zip file and that's not the most helpful. This isn't a 'bell or whistle,' this is a very basic searching feature that you shouldn't gate based on price. Give me the feature and don't try to upsell me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion allows our employees to easily search for content, which is crucial for managing our huge document repository, especially for new hires. The app and website are equally powerful and offer good formatting options.
