Great Tool for Managing Projects and Content
What do you like best about the product?
Terrific flexibility in terms of what yo
What do you dislike about the product?
Terrific flexibility in terms of what you can do with content: layout, arrangement and sharing. Really easy to use. I use it for all my client communication i.e. as a sort of landing page for tracking content and communications. It's also a great content tool in terms of arranging playbooks and the templates are excellent, eg I use the Wiki template for playbook content because it adds the menu automatically. . Brilliantly simple To-do management approach. This is where content management is headed and it's light project management without all the charts and complications. Terrific tool for a salesperson who needs to manage buyer content and interactions, which is my own main use. Also starting to use it as a publishing tool for playbooks and content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None really. Like all tools you have to get used to it, but that doesn't take long. Service response is excellent. Will be interesting to see if Notion allows users / companies to have their own domain / shorter URL. I hope they don't end up sacrificing the ease of use and flexibility on the altar of the enterprise market, which ruins so many products but apparently makes the vendor a lot more money.
Great User-Friendly Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Notion is a user-friendly platform. It's a great tool for companies to use as a knowledge management platform as there are a lot of features that are convenient to use (I especially like the Table of Contents feature!). I also like how quick the Notion team is to get back to me whenever I have any inquiries, and they also follow up to ensure that my issues have been resolved. Great customer service! I am still fairly new to using Notion so I still need to explore my other options to see how I can fully utilize it to its' full potential.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are only 2 features that I wish could be added to Notion that would be visible to users with Admin access:
1) Access to a list of all Notion pages created by users under our company's account, this would make it a lot easier for me to ensure that all company content on Notion is up-to-date. At the moment, I am just searching through what I can but having a list available would be very convenient.
2) The ability to see which user created a Notion page, rather than just the ability to see who was the last person to edit a page

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I currently use this tool to support the onboarding process of our New Hires. It's a great way to keep information tied together in one spot while easily giving them access to other relevant pages. I prefer to keep training content in one spot, as opposed to using multiple platforms which can get confusing.
I know that our management teams also like to use Notion for their team's individual growth plans to keep them on track with their performance month-by-month. It's a great tool for this task since you can customize the page exactly to how you want while sharing access with certain users, a great privacy feature.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool if you're looking to create information/content that needs to be shared with members of your team, especially since you can create private or public pages. Since it's fully customizable, you can be creative with how you use Notion and tailor it to your specific needs. I would recommend doing your research before using Notion to ensure you are maximizing on the benefits of using this platform.
One of the best KMS options in the game today
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a really spectacular piece of software, with a great level of flexibility. I've used it to organize tons of product planning documents in a rather complex hierarchy and have been delighted at how it rewards my resourcefulness. I'm not an engineer, but I have a background in coding and I want to be able to work with data intelligently. Notion isn't a traditional database, but you can use filters and formulas to interface with it like it is. I've tried a lot of other tools with similar goals - Craft, Almanac, Coda, Obsidian - and I think Notion has the best balance of flexibility, collaboration support, and customization. Really stellar.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion's one weakness is that it lacks some of the more data-oriented features that I'd want, things related to automations that I've been able to imitate with formulas but in ways that are unintuitive or clumsy to work with. Coda is the one KMS that has the comprehensive tools for working with tabled data that I'm looking for, such as buttons that can have formulas/behaviors associated with them. If Notion added that sort of functionality I would never look back.
Also, it's worth mentioning that the Notion desktop app is pretty useless. For whatever reason, it seems like a strictly slower version of the website while also lacking support for tabs. I think if Notion can figure out how to make a desktop app that really improves the experience I would be more inclined to keep it installed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I make dozens of documents for each monthly release, and they follow a specific hierarchy: one monthly release, with four or five weekly releases in it, and each of those releases has five or six events to plan. In addition, I plan out the needed art assets for each release, associate those individual assets with commissions, and then associate those commissions with the artists that make them. The templates make it effortless for me to spin up new instances of all of these things, and the relations between tables give me smart ways to consolidate all the information about the project and understand how much progress we've made.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There's a great community of Notion users out there, so see how others are using this tool and it will help you understand what it can do for you!
Makes organizing my notes and company pages a breeze. Especially with their mobile app.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of creating pages and variety of formatting options makes using Notion more desirable than the other tools I've used. Notion has made its pages look inviting and professional at the same time, so we've made internal and external resources with our Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
The colors are very pale and don't pop, making it harder (for myself) to quickly see areas I'd like to highlight. Also, editing Hyperlinks is challenging and takes some time to get used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating my company's internal and external resources is easy and aesthetically pleasing. Ultimately, I spend less time and money trying to find someone to build these pages bc I can quickly build them myself, which makes me more productive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take time to learn how Notion works and can best help you and your company's needs. Google templates people are making, and research shortcuts to using Notion to navigate the software seamlessly.
Amazing UI, great for documentation and project management.
What do you like best about the product?
The adaptability of the tool.
How easy is to build new dashboards.

The learning curve might not be the easiest for everybody.

Project management initiatives at my job.
Best note taking app for students
What do you like best about the product?
Easy and straightforward to use, allowing me to easily take down my university notes cleanly and understandably, while also being able to reference pages to other pages
What do you dislike about the product?
Now, this is a hard question as so far I have not found any downsides to using Notion at all. It is straightforward and simple to use maybe a even larger selection of templates could be cool but otherwise nothing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is helping me keep track of all my study and university notes, while automatically making a bibliography for all the work I am currently writing, helping me stay organized and ready to start my thesis
My operational brain
What do you like best about the product?
linking databases and notes in one place. Flexibility of me designing my own system.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. cluttered search. Since more pages are created, I would like to have - un-search in this page as a function. For example, I have Archive, where I can move my older projects.
2. When I onboard a team member - it takes some time ( a lot of time) to explain the notion and our operational principles

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing, sorting, and linking information of my operational brain.
Notion can be as simple and minimal or as expressive and powerful as you want it!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the expressiveness of what I can create depending on what I am writing. The notion is versatile for my lists, calendars, databases, linking, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the embeds with different external applications are laggy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion allows me to have everything I need in one place. I can link out for specific apps, since the embeds are not always the best or fast or optimized.
Notion is great
What do you like best about the product?
Powerful linked databases with different views, filters, sorts and hidden columns.
What do you dislike about the product?
1) Guest access should improve: I don't like it that anyone can see the list of names and emails of people with access to a shared page.
2) Custom domains should improve: I would like to use a full custom domain, and not.notion.so/

The new simple way to store thousands of artifacts.

Maybe not so obvious working with notifications. And work with permissions could be better.
