Can't live without it
What do you like best about the product?
I personally can't live without notion for my daily planning and always recommend it to friends, it's very flexible and amazing as a draft for my ideas and planning
What do you dislike about the product?
The only situation where I don't recommend notion is when planning tech projects. Because it's very easy to delete or edit something by mistake, which happened to me when I started working with a tech team that used notion and accidentally clicked on something and was truely panicked.. it ended up that I made a page from template although I didn't know what that means at that time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's like a repo for all my planning, ideas, learning, references.. literally everything in one place in a tidy and easy manner. No scattered plans on Word or Excel files everywhere that I would forget where I left a few days later.
The tool that does it all
What do you like best about the product?
I can run my whole personal and business life through it and it's so customisable, I can fit to whatever my needs are. Great on mobile also.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a steep learning curve to become a real ninja user and you have to enjoy creating systems and building things from scratch. Though it does make it easy to do that, it's more if you're brain is wired that way. If not you may want a simpler solution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It stops my overwhelm and makes me feel more in control of my life
Good software for almost everything in the company, but requires a lot of time to setup properly.
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility. It seems like we can adapt Notion to almost every project. We have been users for a few months; as a CEO, I found value in having updated data to create reports for my board. However, I am now in a situation where I need to hire someone to keep Notion in shape.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup. It took me 3-5 days (3 hours per day) to learn how to implement a basic dashboard for Project Management from videos and manuals. Then I learned there are templates available, but they still need personalisation which also took me an extra week. Perhaps a simple initial funnel to understand the user's needs and suggest the most popular template will make the initial process faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every month, I have to prepare a presentation with updates to the board. It is a simple standard format; however, the project tracking took me a lot of time. With Notion, I can create simple dashboards to tell me what's delayed, a Gantt chart for the whole company and the budgets. This is very convenient.
It is convenient to store unimportant information that you can return to later.
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to quickly outline a plan or a short article. The division into folders, subfolders, and categories.
The feature I like most is the toggle itself, especially toggle headers.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the editor doesn't listen to you.
And there is still a lack of support for exporting pdf in horizontal format and the wrapping of long lines in blocks of code during export.
It is also desirable to allow all pages to be displayed in full width in the profile settings.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I mentioned above, it helps me write small articles for users, or for me.
And I use it a little bit as a knowledge base.
Although not everything is comfortable for me in.

If Paper and Google Docs had a beautiful baby (including the growing pains)
What do you like best about the product?
I love the versatility in how you can format and present information. Notion is easy to use and customize the way you'd like and makes it simple to present information in an engaging way that also makes sense. It also has a robust data engine that allows you to reference other docs and build out formulas (something I'm not familiar with but have seen others leverage and it's super cool)
What do you dislike about the product?
Certain features I would use for collaborating don't work so well - like linking out to a section of the document to share is super buggy if the doc gets to a certain size. Also, being listed as a collaborator on a document can be a nightmare because you can't mute the notifications unless you remove yourself from the document. Support was responsive with this issue and I think they're working on it, but it's not up to par with a Paper or Google Doc in this area yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion gives me more freedom to visually present information the way I would like it, compared to Google Docs which is too rigid and without half the formatting capabilities. I've built launch plans and briefs with images and tables and it all around was simple and intuitive.
Excellent Project Management and Brainstorming Software
What do you like best about the product?
Excellently intuitive UI with a clean finish to the various workspace layouts you can have. Clear and concise instructions on how best to use the software to meet your individual needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was slightly daunting to begin with and we were presented with almost too many different ways of presenting our workspaces within the introduction/ quick guide tour. However, the helpful articles and templates allowed us to get our heads around it pretty quickly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for project tracking and company management within a small team. Having previously used a host of Google Suite products, Notion allowed us to consolidate this information into one central database that was much easier to navigate/ browse.
Also was a replacement for Monday.com when it came to project tracking.

Great tool to keep notes and documents structured in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Notion lets me share notes and documents with my team and provides the features to keep everything organized and easy to find. We were able to get rid of loose documents and bad file structuring.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are glitches sometimes that caused our data to be inaccessible for a while, this was solved with help from Notion's customer support. The iOS app also has a glitch where the app shifts around content or freezes when you reopen it from running the app in the background.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion solves the situation where our .txt files are all over the place. Meeting notes can be easily kept together with other project documentation. It is also the place where company policies and similar documents are kept and updated if necessary.
A frictionless experience for docs
What do you like best about the product?
Notion makes it very easy to write documentation and provides a distraction-free experience. It is the best tool which I have used till now for writing documents and also for small database which can be quickly linked with other documents within Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
As an org admin, there are currently no analytics about the usage of the product by other members. I also think they can work on their pricing by not charging for those users who are not using Notion just like Slack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping things documentation and readily available for search is something which Notion solves very well. Its really easy to make changes and mention people in Notion and by default it provides a very clean, readable experience for the content created within Notion
Speedy Support, Easy to Note-Take & Design, Easy to Access
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to share/create a single page such as a team wiki, while also keeping all the information together. There is no need to scroll through files to find documents because there is a quick search functionality. If you need help, the Notion Support team is available through live chat and responds promptly. At times, you get a newsletter email that is signed off by the CEO and feels personal. They're always releasing new features, which my team is able to efficiently utilize. Notion has a lot of possibilities ranging from building your own website, writing beautiful documentation, or project management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the Notion Support team misses the question you are asking and provides a canned response. It sometimes feels like going in a loop trying to solve your issue. There isn't an offline mode, therefore, some outages result in losing access to modifying to viewing your work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion allows my team to create a public help center, while also building internal documentation. As we organize documents in one single place, many members of the team can view them as they are being onboarded, and we can import data from other resources in a familiar interface.
Best Software for wiki purposes and to build a knowledge base
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the building block style structure of Notion. You can nest as many as pages you want. There are different elements you can add in notion. This makes notion so powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really like the project management features of notion. It takes some effort to build your workflow and take some effort to maintain it as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It serves as the wiki for our company. All our project details, vision, marketing, brainstorming, research, high-level roadmap, employee details, product specs lie on notion. I use it personally as well to build my knowledge base. Everything I read and listen to will go into notion creating a knowledge base that I use for my own writing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a place to build your knowledge base, notion is perfect. But if you are looking it for project management do some research and see if it fits your workflow. It not good for quick note taking as well. Use some other tools like apple notes or google keept to take quick notes.
