Notion is a very flexible and powerful tool for organizing knowledge.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion shines on allowing their users to arrange and display data the way their business case warrants — instead of having to fit around an intended use case like most competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no Linux desktop version, and the mobile app is resource-heavy: not suitable for older devices. Additionally, the learning curve can be intimidating for less proficient users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion allowed us to centralize both our internal knowledge, project management and issue tracker in a single place. This reduced friction for our employees and allowed us to deliver quicker results.
Amazing tool for both business & personal life
What do you like best about the product?
Adaptability -- can be used for limitless case scenarios
What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting flexibility -- it would be great to have more formatting features, and to be able to set default formatting (e.g. small text & full width by default)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The risk/habit of multiple sources of information in multiple different places -- now all centralised in Notion, with links to external locations
The alternative to office and to have a second brain
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility and options to create any task I need
What do you dislike about the product?
The bullet and tabs manipulation it's not so flexible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing a data repository of all the process of the company
Notion makes sharing information and having an overview of the different parts of the team very easy
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has a nice user interface and many different functionalities and views that make aggregating information and planning next steps easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not possible to connect certain lines in tables to different tables or to copy a line in a table to a different table
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is helping us solve the overview problem. Given that we plan lots of events throughout the year, it is important for us to be well organized and have all information nearly ordered.
Notion is Great!
What do you like best about the product?
It's fun to use with lots of aesthetic customizations, but also it does so many things. Project management, databases, wiki. It's all there. I looked a lot of competitors before settling on Notion, and it stood out as the most flexible and customizable option. After using it for my business, I bought a second account for my personal life.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some clunky features and desired quality of life improvements. For example, the emojis are set to a style that isn't very legible against the background colors the platform uses or you can't set defaults for database items (so you need to manually set the icon when adding a new database line.) Little things like that. I could go on, but it honestly doesn't matter because the people at Notion are aggressively updating the platform, and are extremely receptive to product feedback. I have full confidence any flaws are temporary at best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My goodness, as I've mentioned, they're aggressively updating the platform. Recently they improved the database features and interface. It's so much easier to use now and loads faster. I love it.

STRUCTURED AND UNSTRUCTURED CONTENT IN ONE
What do you like best about the product?
NOTION OFFERS YOU THE BLANK PAGE, READY TO BE FILLED EASILY - NO WORRIES ABOUT ORDERING YOUR CONTENT, AS THAT CAN EASILY HAPPEN AFTERWARDS: REORDER YOUR BLOCKS OF TEXT, YOUR PAGES, CHANGE THE NATURE OF YOUR BLOCKS, OR MAKE THEM ITEMS IN DATABASES - IT'S ABOUT THE SPEED OF CREATING CONTENT. ONCE YOU HAVE DISCOVERED REPEATING PATTERNS, USE THESE IN TEMPLATES TO HAVE YOUR CONTENT FORMED IN PREDEFINED STRUCTURES. EASILY COLLABORATE WITH TEAM MEMBERS, AND EASILY INVOLVE PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE THROUGH SHARING ONLY THIS PAGE TO THEM.
What do you dislike about the product?
THE NOTION WORKPLACE IS HIGHLY DYNAMIC - YOU NEED TO GET USED TO THAT. AND FURTHER TO THAT: OF COURSE YOU BUMP INTO THINGS THAT SHOULD BE DESIGNED BETTER, BUT THEN YOU ARE QUITE OFTEN SURPRISED BY HOW FAST NOTION EVOLVES AND ADDS NEW FEATURES AND BETTER ERGONOMICS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NOTION HELPS TEAMS TO EASILY COLLABORATE THROUGH EXISTING AND NEWLY TO BE MADE CONTENT; IT OFFERS A REALM OF PREDEFINED STRUCTURES TO DO THIS. TEAM KNOWLEDGE WORK IS ALL ABOUT 'DESIGNING' INFORMATION -- THAT'S NOTION'S NATURE.
As the AI assistant has been added since begin 2023, it really got some superpowers. It helps me translating, documenting, writing letters, summarizing, explaining...
I even use it as a kind of coach and co-sensemaker!

A fantastic and versatile note taking and organisation app
What do you like best about the product?
Can be tailored to any function that you choose - from note taking, organisation and planning, to even mind map ideas... It is suitable for anyone, not only students
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a steep learning curve, taking a couple hours to grasp the hang of different blocks and functionalities which Notion is capable of. On iPads using touch is difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion combines organisation and note taking into one - I struggled to find an app to suit me because I wanted a specific layout for my notes and To- Do list that I could design myself
Notion has completely changed the way I work
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the tool is super flexible. I can create so many different types of content within one page, pages within pages, spreadsheets, etc. - and organise it all in a way better way than any other tool that I have ever used.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cant customise the font, and colours are limited. You can't comment on cells on a database, and the text formatting is difficult in cells in a database (no bullets for example).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for knowledge management, project management, planning (etc.) and everyone in my team can collaborate on it. I like it because my engineer, my CEO, my community manager etc. can all use it with ease and there is a very small learning curve.
Best internal documentation I've tried so far!
What do you like best about the product?
What I really like in Notion is the ability to create very quickly and easily nice and collaborative wiki pages. All our company data and knowledge is centralized in Notion and accessible for each team.
The database/view feature is also great and allows us to display one source of truth in different pages with different layout/presentations.

What do you dislike about the product?
On my opinion, the only missing thing within Notion is an internal analytics dashboard.
It would be very great to see which pages/sections are the most viewed or modified.
Also we cannot create a graph from a database, but some third-party (paying) plugins offer this feature.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we had before Notion was that our internal documentation and data were spread around multiple places (Dropbox, Google Drive, Confluence..), with no central access/directory.
Notion replaced all these apps we were using and now centralizes all our company knowledge and data in one place. Easily accessible/searchable for every team and with a simple access control feature.
