Strong Product Management/Intranet Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is powerful, easy to use once you learn the / system, and can accomplish most tasks you might want to use it for
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion could use more call outs in the platform to educate people on how to use the different features. Note taking could be cleaner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps our team keep documents & Projects organized - it helps us by providing a simple, searchable system to hold important information.
Excellent multi-authoring tool, clean interface, but still full of great features
What do you like best about the product?
What brough tme to Notion was finding a multi-authoring tool, which my teammates and I could all work in at the same time. What caused me to quickly expand use from just my EA and I to the rest of my team, was it's extensive features set and great teamworking ability.
What do you dislike about the product?
The weakest part is the security. It does not have 2FA (well, only for G-Suite users). I was going to write an article in a major publication for lawyers, but this single feature caused me to hold back. My company doesn't have sensitive information stored in our Notion notes, so this is not a major issue, but it should be for many businesses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multi-user authoring and a really clean, but still powerful user interface.
A great and flexible app for taking notes and keeping track of things
What do you like best about the product?
The writing was a delight. There are several techniques to make pages aesthetically pleasing and logical. RDBMS is an excellent method to track the connections between several projects, individuals, and concepts. I cannot recommend it enough.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting new employees started and the high level of flexibility makes things hard for first-time users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion assists us in handling the challenge of gaining a broad perspective. Since we conduct several events yearly, we must be well-organized and have most of our information in order.
We consolidated from Trello & Monday.com to Notion and haven't looked back.
What do you like best about the product?
The most powerful thing about Notion is that you can pretty much do anything with it. We were able to consolidate Marketing, Customer success and the engineering team onto one platform using Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unable to have sequential numbering in a database to use as an ID.
No native way to create graphs for reporting.
Unable to choose which events or actions trigger a Slack notification. We have had to use a 3rd party application to manage this.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously we had multiple systems which had to be connected by applications like Zapier etc. Now we are able to manage everything in one platform, which increases productivity.
A fresh look on database organization.
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Notion in my current company, and it's the most intuitive database tool I've ever seen. Notion helps our team organize work and projects and it is great for brainstorming new ideas as well. There are so many different uses to it, I have only explored a small part of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The amount of pages that are created can be a tricky thing if teams don't know exactly how to track and organize them. At least Notion is creating new ways to organize groups and pages. One thing I don't like is the fact that some changes are sort of "imposed" like the new default split screen view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me brainstorm and keep track of new ideas. It also helps my team keep our database organized and easy to find.
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.
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.
