Best personal note app with superb functionalities and collaboration features
What do you like best about the product?
Best of the best is the super flexible embedding capabilities that makes note organisation and referencing easy, thus it is great to put things into structures anywhere within the documents so you dont have to go back to find and add by copy and paste.
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing particular, but to make the best out of the tool you need to be willing to learn a little bit at the beginning so you can free yourself afterwards by leveraging the shortcuts, the drag and drop, the tables and the filters, after all, they are all still very basic and intuitive ones.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Information clipping and organisation in a more flexible way for personal and business users or a mix, saving me time to jump between excel and doc for cut and paste in google and able to use and display anything anywhere within the documents.
My all in one genius tool
What do you like best about the product?
Databases. Configurability. Different views on the same data.
What do you dislike about the product?
No csv export. Complicated api. Visualisation limits
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Central knowledge base.
Notion functionality
What do you like best about the product?
I'm Brazilian. Here, Notion helped our team as the best platform for sharing goals and simultaneously tracking results. It has applicability in all sectors of our team. I recommend it to everyone who needs a good platform for sharing information, goals, results.
What do you dislike about the product?
In Brazil it is still not widespread because there is no option in Portuguese.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing metric results with team. Better team communication.
My Favorite Project Management Tool To Date!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been looking for a great solution to manage a $259k SBIR Phase I Grant we received this past June (2022), and I look at other products, but they didn't meet my needs. I luckily stumbled across Notion, and it's perfect for my needs. As a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) since 2004, I've managed numerous projects, from small projects to multi-million dollar IT projects for Newport News Shipbuilding. One of the biggest challenges is communication amongst the project team, and another is configuration management. Notion helped me solve both of those, easily.
It's very easy to use - when I first found it, I initially looked at consultants on Fiverr to help set it up. But I didn't go that route because as I started using it, I realized how simple it is. I even found a few YouTube videos that helped as well.
I'm actually presenting what I've done with Notion to my government program manager this week, to show him that we're managing a project in a new and different way than he's ever seen. Anxious to hear what he says.
I also LOVE that Notion offers help for startups, and doubles the offer for those who have participated in one of their recognized accelerator programs. My startup received a $1,000 credit through that, which has been extremely helpful!

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much - I have been able to do so much with it. That said, there are a few minor things.
1. I hate to see Notion send out emails telling people how to manage a book club, manage recipes (I use Paprika for that – it’s a great app and better suited for this function. Why? Because it auto loads website URLS that have recipes, and downloads the recipe, separating the ingredients list, directions, photos, etc. – Notion can’t do any of that) and so on when it can do so much more. I have seen similar issues with other apps that try to do the same thing, tell you how to use a PM app to manage your life, when most people don’t really need that.
2. I'd like to have a better way to have team members that can participate in the project, and be assigned to parts of it, but without giving them the ability to do anything inside it so that I can get everyone involved without having to pay a license for everyone. I already have 12, and I have 3 people that I would like to add for this.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As previously mentioned, a Project Manager's role is 90% communication. Notion not only enables a much better experience for that (even asynchronously), it also enables storytelling, which makes it much more memorable for the project team.
Like building things? Stickler for customisation? Notion is THE app for you
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is incredibly useful for building custom workflows and databases - whether you are a student, business owner, project manager, or lifelong learner, and whether you have any coding knowledge or not!
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion can be difficult to learn at first as there are so many features and database views to try out. However, starting out with templates can be a fantastic way to learn about the platform and figure out what works for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a student and researcher, I often have to manage multiple, complicated tasks that relate to one another or have to do with large amounts of data. Notion's relational databases make it easy to connect related databases and build efficient workflows. Additionally, project management features like the Calendar and Kanban views make it easy to see what needs to be done at a glance.
Using Notion increased our productivity!
What do you like best about the product?
It's super easy to keep things tidy and clear for everyone. And the templates are amazingly well-built for their purpose.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that comes to mind. We've been using it for almost two months now, but enough to assess whether it works or not. And it does work well for our team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to be organised and efficient. The user interface is also a plus, as it is simple and visually a pleasure to look at.
Amazing, sleek and modern
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a platform I find personally amazing — it significantly helps me at work and it also helps my company. I use notion for thinks like job boards and OKRs while personally using it to track tasks, todos and use notes. It's sleek and easy to use, taking up not much space on my PC too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything about notion. It's amazing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving problems such as losing paper notes, portable notes on my phone and more.
Great for team meeting agendas
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to keep track of KPIs and ongoing to-do's. The overall ease of use makes organizing notes and agendas much easier. Previously we were using Google sheets which did not have the carryover feature, requiring manual entry.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it were easier to paste text into a table from an excel spreadsheet. Instead of having to individually paste each cell, it would be great if it recognized they are separated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Weekly meeting agendas and notes. Keeping track of weekly, monthly and quarterly deliverables. This has lead to a more consistent view for leadership within my organization.
very good experience but some key feature is still missing
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use,
easy to read thanks to the customization of the colors,
I installed it for my team 5 months ago and we are still using it so we are quite satisfied.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. the mobile navigation for the "board view" is not practical.
2.I would like to have more events detectable in the Notion API like for example a category change ( in progress -> in review )
I coded my own python bot that every 5 seconds scans the notion page and see if a ticket has changed category to send a notification to all concerned employees.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
in Notion, project tracking, documentation and meeting notes are centralized in the same application.
My team got used to Notion very easily.
With Notion,
We now use only 3 applications to manage the project:
- Notion
- Google drive
-Discord

A one stop shop source of truth
What do you like best about the product?
Notion allows all relevant information to be grouped together on one page. The information can be interactive, wether it is by embedding existing links and documents or even images and videos and highly personalized.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, we cannot embed a specific Google slide. This means that when you embed a document, you will have to instruct the viewer to go to that specific slide or else, they could click on the hyperlink. This is probably my only pain point.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my opinion, Notion is wonderful for standardizing access to information in certain workplaces like mine. In addition, the search tool simplifies the time spent searching for said information.
