The best tool to organize work logs
What do you like best about the product?
The best point of Notion is that in which I can organize various materials (text, pdf, code etc.) in one service by utilizing various databases.
For example, I record daily logs by a calendar, discussion logs by lists, and photos by a gallery.

What do you dislike about the product?
The service will be more valuable for me if it can provide a preview for MS Office files (.docx and .pptx) as it does so for pdfs and pictures.
In addition, as an importation tool of websites, Evernote is much better... designs of websites are corrupted when saved by Notion web importer tool.
I heavily use a web importer to save websites with tags ('Books to buy', 'Place to go', 'Must read' etc.) and it will be helpful if Notion web importer become better.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connection of database is a great idea.
I connect a Daily log database in which I keep records of what I do in a day and a Student database in which I records who they are.
When I discussed with a student, I write discussion records in a Daily log database and linked the daily-log page with the student page so that I can track the discussion log by a student page.

Easy and useful
What do you like best about the product?
A fast learning curve, Its interface is intuitive and almost anyone can start creating personalized tools for personal use or team use. Once you understand how it works you can start building from a simple to-do list to a more complex system as a CRM, planning tool, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't really use relationships for its databases, so you always need to create many-to-many relations if you want to create more complex tools. Also, you can share views to specific users of your team or guests with a filter so they only can see what you want them to see from a certain database BUT you have to share also the full database so they can view it in their filtered view. This makes the filtered view useless because they will also be able to view the full database so they can see data that only certain users should be able to see. They need to fix this so the users only can see the views shared with each one without the need to give them access to the full database. Otherwise, you need to create a database or table for each user. This would be the weakest point of notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me with controlling tasks for my co-workers with a full system I'm implementing. Since we need to organize the tasks by client, project, area, etc. It's almost perfect for the job.
The perfect wiki and team collaboration platform for SMBs
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a powerful and easy-to-use collaborative wiki that will work well for small and medium-size teams.
The user experience is very modern and easy. That will facilitate the onboarding of most users.
The mobile app works also very well. All your data and teams' collaborative discussions are accessible everywhere.
It’s like having Microsoft Sharepoint or Atlassian Confluence but much easier to use, but without all the heavy « corporate » features and complications.
It fits well with an agile culture where flexibility and experimentation are the norms.
Notion manages text, images, documents and even videos pretty well.
It has API's that integrate well with many tools such as Zappier, Google Drive, Dropbox, Zoom, etc...
You can create very flexible tables, wiki links, see backlinks, and discuss with team members almost any piece of data.
Everything can be refactored easily as you go...

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't personally use Notion as a personal note-taking tool. I don't like that all my data and my files are hosted on a web app that I don't control and in a format that is not standard. I use Obsidian as my personal PKM system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion shine when you need to build collaboratively a shared knowledge space with an agile structure.
Fluid , flexible and straightforward sharable workspace
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to add and edit content. The fluid UI and the smooth additions and interactions make it a delight to work with the tool. In both mobile and web interfaces!
On top, the templates library with great ideas as well as the vast component possibilities make the tool very flexible and innovative in the hands of creative people :)

What do you dislike about the product?
We use the tool as part of our work environment, and the pricing for the team plan feels a bit too much for what we have to get out of it. To circumvent that we use a lot of guest invitations and fewer team members, which are billable.
I would really love to have the possibility to have something between the private full-fledged option and the team plan

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as both knowledge sharing wiki as well as a documentation center of our R&D department
I've found Notion to be a productive environment in which it's easy to create content/functionality.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to create content & functionality which you can share with colleagues very easily, even if they don't use Notion themselves (via web).
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that Notion displays dates in the backward American format (mm/dd/yyyy) and times using the 12-hour clock unless you reformat every instance yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion allows my team and me to share information easily amongst the team and even with customers who don't use Notion via web sharing, which saves us time compared with writing documents in Word/PDF format.
Very nice tool that has many capabilities that are easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
The nice user interface, and the databases are great. It's also good that this can be easily used by anyone in the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
I raised two tickets which were not really answered. One was about uploaded files which disappeared, and one about images. This reduced my trust a bit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documentation of the whole company, and easy prototyping of e.g. a internal ticketing system.
Easy-to-use tool for all occasions
What do you like best about the product?
That I can create different views when using databases, e.g. calendar or status. Also, so far I was able to use it on all private and professional occasions to create roadmaps, kanban boards or other updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I wish there were other tools integrations, such as google calendar integration or even Trello to check the status of my to-dos. Other integrations could be Slack (notifications) or Airtable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having all notes and views of different projects in one place. I often also create "colourful" overviews and structured layouts of how to use tools and how to go about a strategy.
Valuable LowCode Platform Gets Things Done
What do you like best about the product?
That I can quickly build comprehensive tables that carry relational data on to other parts of our Notion workspace.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Notion API limitations. The inability for binary data (images, specifically) to be posted to content blocks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's solving two at the moment:
- Documentation. Nobody wants to do it and it is never fun. Notion changes both.
- DB records with rich content.

The most flexible platform for organizing life! Just needs Google Cal sync and better mobile app.
What do you like best about the product?
It is hands down the best and most flexible task management, knowledge management, company wiki, second brain, and journal platform, all in one app. I can just use Notion for everything besides file management, and have everything that I need in one place!
What do you dislike about the product?
Google Calendar sync needs to happen real soon, I'm tired of having to input my schedule twice! Also needs a better mobile app experience: less sudden crashes, faster page loads, offline selected-pages support, less widget crashes, better widget selection(a calendar widget would be nice!)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It essentially replaced my to-do lists, my notes, my project management, my SOPs, my wikis, my journal, my calendar, all in one place. It helped me to stay more organized, more focused, and less cluttered, and thus making me more calm and productive.
The notion makes changing my team's workflow. Simple words make great data with Notion.
What do you like best about the product?
links everything. Being able to collect all types of data in one place is the best advantage. Also, the search function is great, so you don't have to worry about how to name your files anymore.
What do you dislike about the product?
I need a graph that can summarize some tables. It is difficult to export content to PDF. Often I have to copy content from Notion and rework it in MS Word to document it in the form I want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In startups, Notion is a powerful tool. I am using Notion to manage the project results. It is a big advantage for me that it can be easily attached regardless of the form of the data and that it is not necessary to separate the list and the repository of the data.
