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.
A Collaboration and Productivity Tool that meets all of my needs!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Notion is super customizable. There are tons of free templates for you to utilize to edit and make your own. I use Notion to not only track work tasks and my school work, but I also use it for my personal life. It's just an awesome tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to download the files and still be able to customize them or download them and edit them in something like Google Sheets as not everyone on my team uses the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to keep track of candidates in my pipeline as well as to track candidates I am coordinating interviews for that I am not the recruiter. I also use it to keep track of work, school, and personal tasks to get done. I like to keep personal metrics in there as well such as company hiring metrics and sourcing resources that help me on a daily.
Better than the rest, great for individuals, good for teams, developers love it
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has a great user experience for the individual user. It allows you to take notes in many different styles. The text formatting is intuitive and straightforward. The hotkeys/shortcuts are great for powerusers. Most of all it's built with use by engineers in mind. There are native code blocks and code formatting. I love the idea of "blocks", which limits the first cmd+A select to the block, then if you press it a few more times, it'll select the whole document. It has made my note-taking iteration so much faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some rough edges. Because of the unique block model, there can be frustrating experiences with it. Selecting multiple blocks with a cursor often seems to not work as expected. Formatting multiple blocks at a time doesn't work well.
Collaboration is the biggest aspect that I dislike and is worse than competing products. There are still many things that can be improved around commenting; navigating comments, dealing with resolved comments, etc.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For individuals, it is a note-taking management system. All the features make note-taking faster and more enjoyable to use. In the broader company, it is a knowledge base. The formatting and UX has made it easier to add, modify, and view documents. Since it's so dynamic, it's also easy to collaborate and iterate on the knowledge base.
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.
Flexible and easy to use for non-techy members
What do you like best about the product?
This is basically a wiki-ish product where all the information from something development-related documents or a sprint planning board to the HR or general affaire team to communicate with workers around their recent corporate-wide update topics.
It has the basic functionalities to document any type of information with the simple mark-down capabilities without using a mouse or a tracpad and this makes things simple and efficient.

What do you dislike about the product?
Its search capability is not strong enough. It would be great if we could search documents, pages, and contents with more criteria such as relevancies and filters.
I have found that the capability of google calendar integration is weak.
Notion's calendar (database) view should have more capabilities in its visibility other than "monthly", such as weekly or quarterly.

Sorting out issues around any kind of workstream using a board view in its database feature, collecting terminologies and creating a dictionary for newcomers to understand all the jargon across the company.
Our HR team is building pages for internal rules and regulations, and the employee engagement team is publishing internal newsletters on Notion for company-wide communication.

Easy-to-use, intuitive system for groups and individuals that also features AI
What do you like best about the product?
The cool new AI features are fun. Some of the features and abilities of Notion were hard to grasp, and the AI tool makes it super easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the "onboarding" to Notion could be better, like showing people what they can do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's really helping me with tracking everything that I have to do across teams, including individual actions. Entering things that I have to do only takes seconds, so I can easily input everything, including small things like responding to an email. I have only used this as an individual, so my team hasn't experienced direct benefits besides my own performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd also look into other project management options for teams.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have implemented my daily report in notion, I can easily add links and notes, Also, when I learn something about work or special life, I took notes on Notion and then come back to check my notes
Best app for organising notes
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is more smooth now and alot of new features are also introduced. Also with the addition of the Notion AI using notion has become much more simple and helpful. The AI can translate complete pages, analyze your notes, give insights on your data, help to create data and much more. I cannot suggest a much better notes keeping and sharing tool than notion. Recently I have planned a trip so I have noted everything down and using the AI also improved that alot and then shared the link to my friends so that they can also see the itinerary and they were impressed with the clean design and how easy it is to share there type of notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am still not sure on that. Like the needs that I have it fulfills those there is noting extra I need from that. So I dont have anything that notion can improve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that notion solves for me is the ease of taking notes and managing them. It maintains and keeps the notes in a very organized way which saves a lot of time and we can access them anywhere anytime.
Great Design, Basically Unusable Due to Extreme Lag Across All Apps and Web
What do you like best about the product?
The modular, elegant design makes it not only a note-taking tool to best the traditional players like Evernote, but a powerful all-in-one work management tool for things like project management, documentation, meeting agendas, and much more. The fact that everything is a page and you can create databases of pages with relationships to each other (e.g. database of clients with relationship to a tasks database, so you can tie a client-specific task to that client) makes it one of the most powerful no-code solutions for creating a digital business's workspace.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be slow when you have complex pages with lots of different blocks, references to databases, and/or synced blocks. They've been improving speed issues progressively and lately I've only experienced this in rare cases, and when page setups may just simply be too complex and in need of re-architecting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workflows like newsletter and blog production, meeting agendas, notebooks, databases of various things we want to save e.g. ideas for future newsletters or sources of inspiration, newsletter and blog writing with the help of the built-in AI assistant.
