Notion makes Cross-functional communication so easy - It's Seamless!
What do you like best about the product?
The simple, yet sophisticated UI helps cross-functional communication so easy to manage and track. The various customizations are an add-on!
What do you dislike about the product?
None that I can think of. Currently, Notion is one of the best investments our team made.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, I am using Notion to track cross-functional communication with the engineering and the product team, and also to manage Feature requests from Customers and customer renewal pipelines.
Sleek, minimalist design with great functionality. My favorite notetaking app.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's a very good-looking app. Unlike traditional tools (such as MS Word) where you constantly think about formatting and stuff, it takes zero effort for me to take notes in any shape or form and still have a sleek document. I can clip webpages, put gifs, videos, emojis, add photos of my pen and paper drawings, anything... And whatever I do, my document never looks like a mess.
You can also create a knowledge base that is very easy to navigate for others, thanks to the subpage functionality and linking/referencing pages.

What do you dislike about the product?
Well, Notion works for most of my needs. I'm mostly using Notion for notetaking and creating knowledge base/documentation for software and my team. I know that Notion have lots of other features that I don't use that often. And I know that some users feel frustrated when they try to use Notion in a certain way that suits their use cases. Although most people hate using too many different tools, I don't think there is or there will be a single app that could do everything (from notetaking to project management) elegantly.
Also, I hate that my colleagues don't use Notion as much as I do.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me to create a body of knowledge consisting of many different documents that are referencing each other. I am a business analyst and my job is to communicate complex things in a neat and well-organized way. Notion helps me present my work in a very welcoming way. I can communicate design documents with software developers and architects. Business units and managers can easily surf through the documents without feeling lost or overwhelmed just like browsing a website.
In contrast to the traditional way, where documents are dumped into a file server and most people never even dare to have a look at them (hence information becoming lost), Notion allows me to deliver crucial information efficiently and come to a shared understanding.

Easy to use, pricing is reasonable, encourages team collaboration
What do you dislike about the product?
Tables are not the easiest to use if you're used to Excel-Sheets
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for collecting customer feedback and project management. Also our talented developers create beautiful Notion based products such as Help Center. (we used to use support.io)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't hesitate to open a support ticket, they will get back to you in less than 24 hours. Also, don't hesitate to say 'this doesn't work' either. Another agent will step in and solve the issue.
Good but I wish it improves on mobile devices

The best planning organization tool with robust customization features
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love the fact that I can customize anything I want and use formulas to build my own self-calculating systems for productivity (and time-management). Notion is designed in such a way as to allow an almost infinite amount of possibilities for its use. I have severe ADHD and Notion in combination with medicine has helped me TREMENDOUSLY in organizing my life and staying on top of things. It's basically my second brain, which is something that only Notion has allowed me to do and I have tried numerous other apps like it. The fact that it's well connected to the cloud and anything I type on either my PC or phone is immediately accessible on either device is an underappreciated aspect of its performance (many other apps struggle with synchronization for some reason).
Also, there are numerous free (and paid) templates that one can use to start customizing their Notion or just use those templates as they are right out of the box.
In addition, as of writing this review, their free personal plan offers pretty much all of the features in the app, short of team-related stuff. It's mind-boggling to me that all of this is completely free and I hope they keep it free. Once I start hiring people for my business, I am definitely subscribing to the team plan, which is also very affordable, it seems.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there's not much I dislike about Notion, but there are things that need polishing. For instance, I would definitely love it if there was a way to automatically add items to relations (you can interconnect separate databases, but you can only add items to entries relations manually) and if they added a better way to use sums of columns in formulas, for example. It's the little things, but they still limit what I can do with Notion a bit. However, the app has very few weak spots, especially compared to its competitors. Most of them don't even come close, in terms of flexibility and robustness of functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it mainly for task management, notes and organizing my day. I have a robust system, which makes it so easy to add tasks without much hassle and assign dates, priorities and other properties to them. In addition to that, I love that you can customize the layout as much as you want, so I have everything connected and right where I need it. Basically it serves as my second brain, I store in it all that comes into my head before it dissipates away and it has helped me slowly build the freelance business I love and to stay on top of things despite my ADHD.
I write a lot of copy and content in Notion, as well. You might be surprised, but Notion is also extremely useful for writing in general, you have very easily usable tools for breaking up and organizing your texts, such as bullet points, toggles (so that it doesn't take up the whole page until you need it), you can put pictures in, embed links and videos and so much more. It's amazing for writers as well, is what I'm saying, essentially.

Best tool for creating company collaborative database
What do you like best about the product?
Bit of a learning curve, but they have helpful tutorials! Our company has used it to organize a very large, complex system database to help keep track of everything from HR processes to customer-facing copy! So many capabilities like to-do lists, images, sub pages, tags, comments, and more!
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be easy to accidentally move or delete something, especially on the mobile app. It's also finicky when you want to copy something and paste it into an external system, like a Google Calendar template.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have created a one-stop database rather than sifting through Slack messages or forgetting where we saved a Google doc or who we gave it access to.
One place to manage your knowledge base
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use clutter-free UI and UX that makes it so easy to create and store notes without worrying about anything else. Notion's block by block layout helps to reorganise the content if needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
In Notion, there is not most to dislike about previously it was their pricing that restricted new users to fully use the Notion before upgrading to a paid plan,
Now that problem is also gone with the introduction of a generous personal plan.

Managing the blog content,
The notion is the first place where what to write ideas are thrown and then with kanban view, they jump through their life cycle to complete blog post.
It helped to easily edit and manage the blogs and tag them with additional data using property fields.
