Stable product with a valuable combination of structured text and databases
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The application's most valuable feature is the combination of structured text and databases.
What needs improvement?
It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems. We have to transfer the data or convert files into compatible formats for generating final reports.
They should include a feature for queries within text documents, including snippets of databases and formulas.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Notion for two years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable product. However, it works slowly for reloading large databases.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I use EverNote and OneNote. Both platforms don't have a concept of structured databases similar to Notion.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product's pricing depends on the usage plans. Currently, they offer a free plan for individual users with some limitations. I also have access to its educational plan, which is a bit more expensive. There are different plans with free versions. Further, we can subscribe to the paid versions depending on the use cases.
What other advice do I have?
There are plenty of products like Notion. For individual users, I recommend it because of the accessibility of the features. At the same time, I advise large organizations to compare a few different systems before making a purchase decision.
I rate Notion a nine out of ten.

Notion is my life
What do you like best about the product?
I love everything about notion, and have been a devoted user personally and professionally for years. It has a wonderful UX design and provides so much flexibility that you can manage literally anything you need to effectively. I have linked together custom tables and useful views for our changelog, software requirements, taskboard, product roadmap, and development documentation that makes managing my engineering teams needs super easy. Notion provides wonderful tools and templates to build a collection of documentation for anything you can imagine.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love everything about it. I have historically had some bugs with their UX, but they have all been fixed and made super fluid by now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use notion for all of our company, and especially development documentation.
Notion makes it easy to flexibly create any collections of documentation we need, easily scale them to the amount of complexity or simplicity fits our need, and link everything together from business items through development items

Versatile productivity tool that requires commitment and a learning curve
What is our primary use case?
I primarily use it for managing tasks and collaborating with colleagues. When I encounter an issue or have a task to complete, I create a ticket and provide solutions. I also use Notion to schedule my work and coding tasks since it's a versatile tool that helps me stay organized. For instance, when I encounter hiccups in the morning, I can simply refer to my Notion workspace to see what tasks need to be addressed and then review them at the end of the day. Its flexibility allows me to customize the design to my liking, making it user-friendly.
How has it helped my organization?
My team often works remotely and Notion has become an integral part of our workflow, and it has greatly improved our productivity. We use it not only for providing services to our clients but also for keeping ourselves organized and on track with our daily tasks. This dual purpose has proven to be a valuable experience for us, both in terms of monitoring our progress and ensuring that we stay on top of our daily responsibilities.
What is most valuable?
I find the table feature in Notion to be incredibly valuable as it allows me to organize and manage data efficiently. The ability to structure data is one of the most essential functions of Notion. Also, the capability to link data between different parts of the business is a standout feature.
What needs improvement?
It would be great if Notion introduced a feature like network logs or simply expanded its color palette. Currently, the available color choices are somewhat limited, and I often receive requests from people for specific colors that are not available. Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Notion for around five months now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It provides excellent stability capabilities.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It has proven to be highly scalable and capable of accommodating thousands of contacts and extensive data without any issues.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have experience using both Asana and Notion and when it comes to choosing between the two, I find myself leaning more towards Notion. While Asana is undoubtedly a good tool, I have some reservations about its design and interface. Notion, on the other hand, has a great design and interface. Asana is effective for task management, but I didn't connect with it as much, since I didn't use it extensively. My experience with Notion has been different and I quickly grasped its capabilities and enjoyed the learning process. It encourages a more technical approach with features like formulas and the ability to create customized databases, which I appreciate. It allows users to bring their ideas to life without being limited by pre-defined structures.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing structure is quite reasonable, and the basic plan covers the most essential features. It is ideal for those who simply need to create and manage tasks or to-do lists.
What other advice do I have?
For companies considering adopting Notion as their organizational tool, I would recommend taking the time to thoroughly evaluate it, alongside other options like Asana. Different companies have varying levels of patience when it comes to learning and implementing new features, and Notion's extensive capabilities might make some hesitant. It requires an investment of time and effort because it offers a high degree of technical flexibility, akin to coding in some aspects. Therefore, if your organization is looking for a quick and simple solution to manage databases and CRMs, you might want to explore other product management platforms. If your company is willing to invest the time and effort into learning and implementing Notion effectively, it can greatly enhance productivity as it allows you to create a customized and user-friendly interface, tailored to your specific needs. I would rate it seven out of ten.
Make yourself home with Notion
What do you like best about the product?
The most usefull part about using Notion is I can manage and handle all of your daily tasks in one place so that it can help improve my management skill and more flexiability. And I can event add my friends and work together in one place whereas doing research or group projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Notion is really rare because I do not have even one of its downside or disadvantage. However it sometimes works slow on mobile devices. So I recommend using Notion on Desktop rather than using on mobile device.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I really had difficult time managing my daily tasks and gave me stress about remember all the things I had to be done by the deadline. Then I found an advertisment on the Internet about Notion and I give it a try to use it and changed my life and saved my life even up to this day.

What do you dislike about the product?
As it is so comprehensive it takes a good while for a novice to get a hang of it. Basics are pretty clear but it's power lies in its more unwieldy features. A quick start guide like how some tools have onboarding journeys would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is primarily helping in task management for my marketing team. We're a small team handling various activities and the todo lists keep on changing rapidly so we're majorly seeing notion as our saviour to keep tabs on things
Notion makes collaboration fun with family, friends and colleagues!
What do you like best about the product?
Notion works well for documents, tables, and images. Integration is simple. All-in-one project management tool. Works well like a digital notice board/ planning workspace for collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
The workspace can get messy and visually non-eye-catching. No colour options for the workspace, only 3 font options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps in team collaboration, easy to insert images as we add notes and tables.
Best Workspace to write you thoughts
What do you like best about the product?
I think this is the best workspace that is available. I really like the builtin template features and how easy they are to access and use and it also gives much more features like list, checkbox, tables, boxes, search, tags, sort. it is indeed a all at one work space. I really like the UI how simple and still full of feature it is.
What do you dislike about the product?
I use the app and web version both web version is great. Although I found some lagging in the app even if i am adding a simple list or checkbox. App version performance could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a new content creator i use it to manage my content ideas in a table and use tags which makes it ease and handy so i don't forget anything. Also i use it to write my project details of my work. Also write notes in docs feature.

mostly everything is in black and white colors in the web application.
if any color combinations are allowed -the app looks more attractive I believe.
apart from this - nothing to dislike .
