The Ultimate Hub for Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion as a daily hub for my staff to record meeting notes, track deadlines, and project progress, which really helps us keep everything in one location. I like how user-friendly and customizable it is, and the more I use it, the more useful features I discover. Notion helps us streamline processes, be more structured, and have better communication. I also like how easy it is to communicate with other team members who use it. We switched from Basecamp because Notion offers better customization. The initial setup was extremely easy. Overall, I think it's a great tool, which is why I'd rate it a perfect 10 out of 10.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is so much depth to Notion that I often feel like we are just scratching the surface with it. I wish there was a better demo upfront of the capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to keep everything centralized, preventing things from falling through the cracks. It streamlines processes, enhances structure, and improves communication, serving as a daily hub for my staff.
Perfect for Personal and Team Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like the global search in Notion. It's gotten way better over the years, although it's still not perfect, but I find it really easy to find stuff across different databases and whatnot. I also really like the way Notion has implemented database variations as one of the lowest level things. I think, for example, the list database is really underrated and useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search in Notion can always be better and faster. I find Notion AI particularly is not fantastic, especially for tasks like finding a document that mentions a specific thing. This would make things a lot more flexible AI-wise. It's also a little bit tough for people who don't habitually work with modern software to use. For example, when I use it for trip planning, most of my friends hate it, so maybe there's a way to make it more accessible to non-power users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to keep track of ongoing lists, manage small team projects, organize research freely, and take meeting notes. It's better than maintaining files, offering a searchable document web. Notion serves as a more reasonable database tool than Google Sheets.
Superfast Solution for Email and Prospecting
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion for writing emails and building out prospecting lists. It makes everything a lot faster, which I really appreciate. I particularly like how quick it is and the way it shows the term "noodling". I also use it together with Salesforce.
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion makes everything a lot faster, especially for writing emails and building out prospecting lists.
Notion Keeps Everything Organized in One Place with Powerful Databases & Search
What do you like best about the product?
Notion offers detailed organization and many features that let you keep everything in one place. It is easily searchable and very versatile. The database function and ability for it to integrate pdfs are two of my favorite features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do find there to be a bit of a learning curve. I wish there were an interactive, walk-through tutorial option that introduces you to all the features (maybe basic and advanced options). I still feel like I dont know how to use Notion to its full capacity. The only thing missing to make Notion complete for me is the ability to store PDFs and mark them up. I think Notion integrates with RemNote, but right now, uploading documents and lecture notes is pointless because I can't mark them up with notes. I also wish the calendar allowed you to make recurring events where they would all show up on the calendar, rather than a few days ahead or however it works. I can't remember what the issue is but there is something funky about the calendar in general.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me keep track of tasts and organize my notes very well
Fast, Easy Organization and Powerful Search
What do you like best about the product?
I like how quickly I can organize information and search for specific details.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are certain features that are not as intuitive as others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving several challenges with a remote working culture because it helps various teams stay in close contact and communicate more cohesively.
Create and Share Tasks, Projects, and Reports with Ease
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can create a lot of things. Tasks, Projects, To-do's, reports, etc. and share them with clients or 3rd parties.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that it took me a long time to get familiar with. It's a lot of information. It can be overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's solving me having my personal and corporate stuff organized within different projects.
Optimizes Project Management with Ease
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a great tool for my notes on projects, with calendars, tables, and databases all in one place. It makes collaboration with colleagues on the same data convenient and helps keep everything organized without needing multiple apps. I like how you can efficiently access different things in a project, enhancing capability. The simple and sweet UI ensures I never feel exhausted doing my work, and the tools provided are very useful. It's also very easy to set up, so much so that even an 8-year-old child could do it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search and navigation can be made better, sometimes it takes time to load when data is too much or heavy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion lets me keep all project notes, calendars, tables, and databases in one place, enhancing understanding and collaboration. It eliminates the need for multiple apps, enabling colleagues to access project details conveniently, improving productivity by reducing scattered data across platforms.
Notion’s Flexible, All-in-One Workspace for Organized, Real-Time Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Notion is very flexible and can be used for many different things—documentation, project tracking, a knowledge base, and meeting notes—all in one place. The ability to customize pages and databases to fit our team’s needs is especially helpful. It’s also easy to keep information organized with folders, tags, and links between pages, which makes it simple to find what I need quickly. The collaboration features are solid as well, since multiple people can edit and comment on the same page in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes Notion feels a bit slow, especially when loading pages with a lot of content or larger databases. The learning curve is also fairly steep for new users, and it can take time to understand how to set up databases, relations, and formulas correctly. The mobile app isn’t as smooth as the desktop version either, and trying to edit more complex pages on a phone can be frustrating. On top of that, offline mode is limited, so if your internet connection is unstable, it becomes difficult to access documents or get work done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps solve the problem of having information scattered across multiple tools. Previously, we kept documentation in Google Docs, tracked projects in spreadsheets, and stored meeting notes in various other places. Now everything is centralized in one platform, which makes information easier to find and reduces the time wasted searching across different apps. It also improves collaboration, since the team can access and update the same content in real time. On top of that, being able to create templates for recurring processes—such as project documentation or meeting notes—saves time and helps maintain consistency across the team.
Comprehensive Workspace, But Overwhelmed by Features
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate that Notion keeps everything together in one place, which is great for our work tasks and notes. The fact that there’s an entire ecosystem now, including the calendar and mail, being integrated into Notion databases makes it even more appealing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably most of the improvements just have to do with the newer features. Like, I think there's a lot of things in the mail that I feel like I'm missing. I don't know that I can necessarily articulate all of them, which isn't very helpful to you. But something's really small annoyance is that I can't right-click in my Notion mail but that's something really small. A lot of the AI features, I'm a little bit confused on, but I think I just need to use them a bit more to understand them better. There's just a lot of them. And so I'm a little bit overwhelmed. The labels also give me a hard time, especially with the AI labels and mail. I can't seem to figure out how to have it try again. I don't like the categories that it came up with initially. And when I first tried Notion Mail and had a free trial to the AI features, it created some auto categories. But then I stopped using it. And now that I have an upgraded account again, have Notion AI, and I've been using Notion mail for a little while I can't seem to create new labels that I think would better represent my inbox. I wish I could get the AI model to understand the labels I already have because I have a lot of labels. Or maybe I'm not using labels the way they're meant to be used. I don't know. This all might be a me problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to keep everything in one place for work. All our notes and tasks are organized together, consolidating what used to be spread across documents and spreadsheets.
Notion as a Centralized Source of Truth for Calendars, Leads, and AI Meeting Notes
What do you like best about the product?
I love Notion as my centralized source of truth, it allows me to have clear documented processes all in one place and share easily with coworkers. I'm able to keep my marketing calendar and podcast calendar updated in one place which flows through to any referenced place which reduces the chance for error. I've even built a custom lead generation board where I can track folks I meet and their action items get added to my to do list easily. The new AI note taking is transforming how I follow up from meetings, creating very clear action items I can complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is so customizable which can be overwhelming, it can easy to get into the asthetics of the layouts etc without actually accomplishing things. This is why I think having someone help you build or using templates is most effective.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m using Notion for both business and personal use, and it’s been amazing. On the business side, it’s taken things that were previously very decentralized and brought them into one home—a central place where I can find everything I need. It also helps me capture my to-dos and stay organized, so I can keep my business on track not only across my clients, but also alongside my personal life. I love that I can trust the Notion team to think of things that I didn't even know could improve my life!
