A Flexible Second Brain, But Can Be Slow
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion like a second brain, dumping thoughts and tracking growth without feeling pressured for perfection. I love that it doesn't rush me or scream with notifications, just waits until I'm ready. Whether it's a busy day or a quiet day, I like that it's flexible and meets me where I am. If my brain feels organized, I can build clean systems. Overall, Notion gives my brain a place to rest, allowing me to write things down and not have to carry them around anymore.
What do you dislike about the product?
One big thing is speed. When my internet is slow or I just want to quickly jot something down, Notion can feel a bit heavy. Sometimes I don't want a powerful workspace, I just want instant writing and Notion is not always the fastest for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to offload ideas, tasks, and reminders from my mind, giving my brain a place to rest. It helps me track growth without focusing on perfection.
Intuitive, Versatile Tool for Note-Taking and More
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy Notion's easy-to-use interface and intuitive data structure. It's a great tool for organizing information, creating wikis, and tracking timelines. I also love the huge community of users that share best practices, which really helps in maximizing the platform's potential. The very easy initial setup, where we just needed to set up profiles before our usage evolved gradually, makes Notion stand out. Switching from Trello was a good move because Notion not only handles project management well but also adds impressive knowledge management and note-taking capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Notion could be improved with more tutorial videos and AI-driven recommendations about how to use the platform better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to organize information, create wikis, and track timelines, adding note-taking and knowledge management capabilities beyond what Trello offers.
Enhanced Daily Planning with Intuitive Scheduling
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how Notion makes it easier to plan my day without confusion. Scheduling tasks is one of the best things about it, as it reminds me of my work. Making lists, whether for groceries or anything else, is also very easy. The initial setup was very easy; I just followed the instructions given.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find Notion's UI a bit messy and think it could be smoother. It would be helpful if the features people use most were available on the home screen with bigger icons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to schedule daily tasks, plan my days, take notes, and set reminders. It makes planning easier and avoids confusion. Task scheduling helps remind me of my work, and making lists for groceries or anything is very easy.
User-Friendly Notetaking with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I find Notion very user-friendly and appreciate that it's consistently being updated. It's built by people who once had a need for the product themselves, which adds to its practicality. The initial setup of Notion was very easy for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s lots of integration with other apps but a more seamless user sign on experience for connecting those apps would help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for notetaking, organizing files, and checklists. It helps me keep different project files and notes in one place. We switched from Notepad to track and exchange notes and files more robustly.
Customizable Workspace That Works Like My Brain
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Notion allows me to make it work the way my brain works, which is so much better than other systems that force you into certain formats. It's amazing how I can open boards, pages, and databases, and link them all together seamlessly. The initial setup was very easy too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not fully versed in how to link across different boards to not have to duplicate information - like a reporting structure, but I wouldn't say it's a fault of Notion but more user error - maybe a full template for reporting would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to organize various department categories, tailor project management to my needs, and link boards, pages, and databases seamlessly.
Love the customizable nature
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Notion is totally customizable and that it connects to our suite of other tools, which makes it a great asset for managing my projects and aligning with my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I’d like a direct integration with Outlook where I can click a button in Outlook to create a project or task in Notion. I would love to be able to create a task or project based on an email directly in Notion rather than having to copy and paste the info/ask manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me keep reliable transcribed notes, manage tasks from meetings, prioritize my to-do list, track progress, and align task management across my team.
Versatile Productivity Hub with Templates
What do you like best about the product?
I like to use Notion for my daily productivity and creating databases for my daily life. I appreciate that I don’t have to recreate lists and can use Notion AI to evaluate items or add research to inform decision points. I enjoy the no frills design and chunking, and the aesthetics speak to me. Everything can be modular. The templates are valuable to me; the people that created them have often solved problems I hadn’t anticipated and are genuinely thoughtful. I also appreciate the deep integration set, although I have been using it mainly for personal productivity enhancement via centralization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The home screen can be customized but wasn’t intuitive to me. Setting it up took some time as organizing everything wasn't straightforward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to streamline daily productivity, manage to-dos, and create databases easily. I don't need to recreate lists, and the templates solve problems I hadn't anticipated. Its modular design enhances my productivity through centralization.
Versatile Organizational Tool, but Needs Improved Long Document Handling
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility of Notion. I like that it allows you to create a variety of different documents, and every document can be different. And I like that it allows you to create sort of a front page for each part of the company. So marketing can have a page link to all their different documents and everyone knows where to find things.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not the best for long ongoing work documents. We were trying to track a list of emails, and it got very unwieldy, and it was very hard to comment on things. The comment feature doesn't take you to where the comment is, and so it's hard to have sort of a big ongoing document in Notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps us organize all of our documents, notes, and operating procedures, making it easy for everyone to find, be included, and comment on things.
Versatile Tool with Integrated AI, but Setup Can Be Tricky
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everything is in one place and the AI can search through everything I have uploaded over time. It's useful that Notion can see it all, as other AI programs cannot look back through history.
What do you dislike about the product?
The AI assistant does not yet understand my voice and it feels more transactional than ChatGPT. The initial setup is a bit confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me track my marketing and curriculum for group programs. I like that everything is in one place, and the AI can search through everything I've uploaded over time. It can view the entire history, unlike other AI programs.
Streamlined Knowledge Management with Notion AI
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how Notion AI helps with knowledge management and project management. Its AI writing assistant is quite helpful, giving me the ability to create new support articles and write up new tasks and to-dos for myself and others. It allows me to speedily get through things, and I really appreciate the ease of use with Notion AI.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's been somewhat difficult for me to learn all the things I can do with Notion. It seems very powerful, but I'm entirely sure I'm not using it to its full capabilities. I will have to figure out how to learn more of how to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for knowledge management and project management. The AI writing assistant helps create support articles with minimal edits, integrates info from Jira, Slack, and our help center, and speeds up tasks.
