What do you like best about the product?

I like how Notion is flexible and code-able. You can tailor a page to fit whatever you can visualize - adjusting blocks, embedding links and media, formulas, etc. Everything is here - you can have word document, a database (sheet), a presentation, a CRM, sales tracker, literally anything you can think of, you can build it within notion. No need to switch between different apps/software.

What do you dislike about the product?

I don't like how you can't copy-and-paste paragraphs from other websites into notion 'cause it separates each line as a block. Prevents me from migrating documents efficiently.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem of having to switch between lots of software/apps for managing a project. No more using google docs, google sheets, google slides etc. You can do everything in one workspace where anyone can collaborate and comment. The updates on the top left corner helps the most.

What do you like best about the product?

As a chronic pen-and-paper notetaker, I was surprised how much I liked Notion. Having separate 'note' pages that I can easily navigate between, and templates for everyday/business use is already 10x better than any other software I've used before!

What do you dislike about the product?

For a beginner it's a bit difficult to understand from the get-go. It would be helpful to have a 'recently viewed' tab on the left-hand side of the screen to quickly switch between pages.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me keep all my personal notes, as well as company-related information all in one place. As my company has laid down protocols to follow and software that doesn't have tutorials online, anything and everything I need to know is stored here.

What do you like best about the product?

Here you can save any documents, it acts as a database here we can save any data and it is better than other apps here we can note our important dates and things, it also has calendar feature which helps us to remember important dates.

What do you dislike about the product?

It is sometimes not saved as I heard from other people also, that it can access our files and contacts from our mobile phone.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves my saving important data problem and remembering dates. It provides us with the features of saving data and the importance which would be required in future.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

yes, it is very easy to use. You should use it as it is very helpful.

What do you like best about the product?

A centralised platform to manage life. Yes, literally we can plan our life here.

What do you dislike about the product?

The mac application is not supporting Grammarly. I need to sign in to the web app to use Grammarly. That's the only disadvantage.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

You don't need to stumble upon multiple spreadsheets to record or analyse something. Be it for budget management or note-making, it is a complete app.

Notion is the perfect fit for organizing projects, drafting and planning content for my team.

What do you dislike about the product?

Integrations with Asana, Zoom and Google calendar might be improved.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organizing my documents in one place in a very clean way.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is a relational database which enables me to search and organize past information as well as view everything I'm working on in one place. I find this ability of notion to create customised pages to view the information in the database highly beneficial.

What do you dislike about the product?

In the beginning, it is a little difficult to understand how things are working on the notion and how to collaborate in the same workspace. Also, the text editor needs improvements.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being GDSC Lead, I have to assign work to my team members. Notion is the perfect platform through which I get the work done easily within the deadlines. Also, it has proved to be really flexible when multiple people had to collaborate on the same project. We were able to keep everything clear and organized which enabled us to function really smooth.

What do you like best about the product?

Love how Notion allows us to organize our entire company knowledge, documentation, and planning in one place - easily and flexibly. We've also used Notion as our external knowledge base which we've loved! So easy to use!!! Keep it up Notion team!

What do you dislike about the product?

Can't think of anything! They are constantly one step ahead of things I don't realize I need...

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Internal knowledge base, external knowledge base, to do lists, project management... the list goes on!

What do you like best about the product?

What I like best about Notion are the endless possibilities for organizing and how easy is to adapt it to your needs and your own style of planning. If you are new to Notion, I recommend you watch a tutorial covering the basics you are ready to go!

What do you dislike about the product?

The only thing I can say I don't like is that before start using it you should at least learn the basics so you don't feel lost and you can use Notion at full potential. If you are a person who just likes to use simple things and doesn't go over a process of learning, this might bother you. But all I can say is that the small process of learning the basics of Notion is worth it!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I handle an online store, design business and my personal life. Before Notion I was trying to keep track of everything but sometimes it was impossible! Notion give me all the tools and options to organize my entire professional and personal life in only 1 place and I love it!

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you are new to notion please watch a basic tutorial so you can know all the basics !

What do you like best about the product?

As someone who practically lives in Notion, the recent stuff has been less about minor tweaks and more about genuine game-changers. I feel like they finally hit the accelerator on making it a true all-in-one workspace, especially with how they're handling AI.

Here are the new things that I'm personally loving:

The Agent: It's Not Just AI Chat, It's an AI Teammate
The biggest shift is the move from "Notion AI" being a fancy text generator to what they call a Notion Agent. Seriously, it's like hiring a power-user intern for your workspace.

Deep Context is Key: It doesn't just read the page you're on. Now, I can ask it, "Summarize the last two meetings I had with the design team and pull out all the action items assigned to me," and it'll search my calendar, meeting notes database, and even Slack messages (if connected) to give me a concise answer with citations. No more copy-pasting info just to prompt an AI.

Database Automation: My project tracker is finally a dream. I can tell the Agent to look at my raw customer feedback notes, automatically tag them with properties like 'Feature Request,' 'Bug Report,' and 'Priority: Medium,' and summarize the sentiment—all without me touching a single cell.

Notion Calendar is a Real Calendar Now
I used to keep my calendar separate because the integration was clunky. Not anymore.

The Meetings Tab: This new tab in the sidebar is genius. It syncs with my calendar and auto-creates a structured note for every meeting. No more scrambling to make a new page five minutes before a call. I just type /meet on any page, hit start, and the notes are perfectly filed away.

Calendar Searchable by Agent: I mentioned this above, but it's worth its own bullet point. I can ask the Agent, "When did I last meet with Sarah and what did we discuss about the budget?" The fact that it can search my calendar and past meeting notes together is a huge time-saver.

New Database Views
The database is the heart of Notion, and they keep making it more versatile.

Map View and Place Property: I'm a travel fanatic, and this is a gift. I can now add a Place property to my itinerary database, and it instantly shows all the locations on an actual map view. This is amazing for trip planning, or for a business tracking office locations or client sites.

Conditional Coloring with Formulas: This is a power-user feature, but I love it. I can now use formulas to set the background color of a row. For instance, my tasks turn bright red if the due date is today and the status isn't 'In Progress,' making those urgent items impossible to miss.

Basically, Notion used to be an incredible toolkit, but you had to build everything yourself. Now, the new AI and integration features feel like they are building things for you, which shifts the focus back to doing the work, not just setting up the workspace.

What do you dislike about the product?

Where Notion Needs a Serious Upgrade
Honestly, for how much I use and love Notion, the complaints boil down to three things. They've fixed a lot of the initial "steep learning curve" stuff with good templates and the AI Agent, but now the issues are more about core performance and missing power features.

1. Performance & The Mobile App (The Lag is Real)
This is the number one complaint. When your workspace gets big—hundreds of pages and complex databases—it starts to feel sluggish.

The Wait: Page load times, especially for complex dashboards with lots of linked databases, can still be painfully slow. It feels like the entire web-app structure is struggling to keep up with the complexity it allows.

Mobile is a Chore: The mobile app, despite improvements, still feels like a slow web-wrapper. Trying to quickly check a to-do list or jot a note on the go often involves a noticeable load time, which defeats the purpose of an "on-the-spot" capture tool.

2. Automation & Database Logic Gaps
They've come so far with the new Formulas and Automations, but there are still glaring holes that make workarounds necessary for power users.

Conditional Relations: I still can't build a simple automation like: "When I complete a task, automatically link it to the 'Weekly Review' page that has the most recent date." The automation logic isn't smart enough to handle conditional linking or complex filtering like Formulas can.

True Recurring Tasks: It's 2025 and setting up a simple recurring task (e.g., "Pay Rent on the 1st of every month") still requires a custom database template, an automation, and a lot of steps. It should be a native checkbox option.

3. Export & Data Ownership
Notion is a great digital brain, but what if you need the data outside of it?

PDF/Print Formatting: Exporting a page to a PDF for printing or sharing often breaks the layout. Complex columns, tables, and images get scrambled. There's no good way to add page breaks or control the formatting.

Proprietary Data: If you ever wanted to leave Notion (god forbid), getting your data out is clunky. You get a mass of HTML, CSV, and markdown files that require a lot of manual cleanup to import into a competitor. It's not a truly open standard like pure markdown would be, which always leaves me with a slight data-lock-in anxiety.

The short version: Notion is amazing at giving you a powerful, flexible canvas. Now, they need to focus on making that canvas load instantly and adding the finishing touches to its automations so you can stop being a workspace architect and just be a productive user.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was using OneNote from Microsoft to record every important information and keep data handy but when I saw the notion. I switched to notion immediately and maintained all my data on the notion.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

yes, I recommend everyone to use notion, it's not just a page full of information but it's a space for everything.
