One of the best applications for managing your daily tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is an all-time destination for daily task management. It has everything you need to manage your daily work, note down things, attach links and documents, share it with people, and also you can work collaboratively with other people. It has checkboxes, lists, headers, sub-titles, and many more things that you need to make it useful for your daily needs. I've seen people converting notion pages to websites which can be done using 3rd party tools. It also has great integrations with other apps to import and export notes. They also have numerous templates for easy work start.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion has good features but they are in a way restricted in the way of placement. We don't get that freedom of placing our content in a way we want just like we do on open canvases. It has a weird placement of columns if we want to keep them side by side. It has limited options for custom icons for the pages. We cannot drag the cover image if we want it to be big.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion has increased productivity a lot. I've been using Notion for a while and I've seen myself increasing productivity and wasting less time. It has everything and anything that you want for your work. You can easily note down things in a way you like. The pre-built templates make it easier for users to start with their work. The integration of importing notes from other popular note-taking apps has become useful for users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Amazing one-stop destination for all your note-taking and building tools.
Notion : a life-changing tool
What do you like best about the product?
Notions' features make sense. They allow me to boost my creativity and thinking process by providing a way to organize my life and work more efficiently.
The support is super responsive and bugs are dealt with extremely fast.

What do you dislike about the product?
While the tool is very flexible, it might not be flexible enough just yet (mostly thinking about the databases which could use some improvements with the whole formulas and "calculate" fields)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly organizational problems as stated earlier. I like having things ordered to concentrate on the big picture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Notion can seem overwhelming at the beginning: take your time and try learning whilst having fun.
Great multifunctional tool
What do you like best about the product?
ability to create links, import data and tables. Also having a private space is great for just keeping personal notes
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes the functionality is hard to get to grips with but once you figure it out its easy
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
keeping track of client records in a way that's accessible for everyone, notion allows that to happen as you can allow everyone/specific people to have access to a page
Everyone needs to be on Notion
What do you like best about the product?
How revolutionary it is! It truly is one of the best pieces of software I have used in years. It has many different features rolled into one place - it's like having Excel, Word, OneNote, SharePoint, OneDrive and PowerPoint in one place. The Database functionality is fantastic (Excel take notes). It is like an avid user has built it with all the parts that Excel is missing. Also, having integrations with Zapier has been a life saver, the forms to Notion functionality has helped the adoption of Notion! We're hoping within a year, the whole company will be avid Notion users!
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't that much to fault, I would say the main improvement is the ability to have paragraphs and not for text to be broken into lines. Makes it easier when building templates into Notion and then copying them into emails for example! Also, I'd love to see a duplicate and move function instead of them being two separate functions as I do a lot of copying and moving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a business, everything was everywhere. Everyone worked slightly differently and it was hard to look at past work, we would start again at the start of every project. With Notion, we're able to build project templates for our employees to use again and again. It is easy to search for past projects to find examples of work. We're looking at Notion now as a library of information for the company!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it!! It's a leap of change but well worth it!
Nice tool that include all
What do you like best about the product?
The way of sharing with other colleges the pages and how is display
What do you dislike about the product?
Missing easy integration with other tools
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Expecting that since notion bought Cron, we can synchronize better the calendars in notion
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Integration should be more simple
Beautiful UI, really good tools, however many of my colleague give me feedback it's too hard to use.
What do you like best about the product?
The Board view, drag & drop experience between the different views of the same database. Strongly customised experience for every industry. The ability to share as a public page so I can hosted it on my website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Timeline view is not good enough. I like the gantt chart in Clickup more. Also and ability to sync with Google Calendar is really important, I've used Zapier or Automate.io, both have a very serious problem that you can only *create* but you cannot edit the event created on Google Calendar, that is really annoying. Also recurring task is important for to-do list database, I know I can use automate.io to create recurring task, but that feature is quite important to have in-built I guess.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The share as public website feature provide a simple CMS for my non-technical staff to update some news / jobboard on our website. This is really good. Also it act as a performance management tool for us to record all meeting minutes.
Notion is the best tool
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is very easy to use, and extremely flexible so you can build your workspace in the way it works best for you. I use it in my personal and professional life. It's a game changer to organize, document and manage tasks/projects. The product is always improving based on Customer Feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the professional workspace we have a difficulty related to shared permissions of diferent views of a database. We found an workaround, so It's not really a problem, but I dislike the need to use the workaround in order to have the right permission set.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The need to have all the information in only one platform. So instead of using a platform for documentation, another to manage task, another to build simple spreadsheets, we can have it all in one place.
And Notion has a lot of integrations that allow us to automize proccess, generate especific notifications and so much more.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are excelent communities to learn tips about Notion. I learned a lot on reddit. And so many people love Notion that it's really easy to find templates and people to talk about it!
love it, so much that you can do!
What do you like best about the product?
the versatility of everything. there's so much that you can do. like how you can pretty much run a company through it and it gives a professional looking place to communicate with clients
What do you dislike about the product?
some of the little bugs, but they're usually solvable with a reset. sometimes copy and pasting things to other apps, like slack, is a bit tricky but overall there's not much i dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
solving the problem of organization & communication. this benefits me because it makes things a lot easier to navigate, schedule, put in place, etc. and it's robust but easy enough to explain to new clients
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it can seem overwhelming at first but you'll slowly get used to it and find more and more uses each day/week
A competitive all-purpose beast that attacks all products at once
What do you like best about the product?
I have been working with this program since the early days (2016). I was able to implement all my needs there, somewhere crookedly and somewhere very organically. Notion is a really powerful combine for different types of tasks, whether it is a personal system with diary, calendar, notes, etc. or a working system with boards, databases and tables.
The technical details and interaction experience are to everyone's taste. From my point of view it is almost perfect. The basic stuff is intuitive and well served. There are difficulties with the more technical and complex ones, but everything is done so that it doesn't feel that way.
The technical support and the work with the community is beyond praise. I have never had a question that I couldn't find the answer to. This friendly business to customer atmosphere is rare these days. Thank you very much in person for that.

What do you dislike about the product?
The simple things here are implemented a head above the competition. The deeper technical things require a lot of work. But you wouldn't expect anything else with such a large volume of everything at once.
I'll start right away with a personal pain: the formula. When it comes to really complex constructions, the visual formula editor just doesn't do its job. We've already seen how it should be in Excel (brackets, error reporting, etc.). Need to do just as well, and I know the guys can do better. Just a little time.
Databases aren't perfect either. I've done some very complex stuff there, but their initial architecture makes it annoying to use annoying methods to implement what I have in mind. A special hello for the undisguised "Title" column in the database :)
Overall, its functionality is a major disadvantage in terms of optimization. It takes a lot of effort and time to keep such a set in order.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Notion both for personal purposes (writing articles, teaching, bookmarking, storing information) and for business (product, customer and purchase databases, supply calendar, task board, scheduling, etc.). I had to compromise in some places, but if you don't pay attention, Notion handles everything just fine.
No time is wasted switching between different programs. Everything has one ecosystem. My favorite principle.
Even this review is written in its godlike visual text editor. I haven't seen a better one yet.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
My friend absolutely did not like Notion, but when I explained to him personally all the advantages, it became one of the main tools. So don't be lazy to spend more time with him (or any product, for that matter). In the future he will probably recoup these costs in full.
Easy to use, adjust to ur needs
What do you like best about the product?
Exporting feature to pdf and html to then later use for Anki
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to draw on notion - notion should introduce this feature!!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Features that allow to make compatible with Anki cards by allowing me to export as html
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Organise folders and sub folders well
