Easy and flexible all-in-one tool for personal and business life
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to use, and extremely flexible to create use cases that pan from personal life management to business and team cooperation. It's then all delivered with what a modern software should offer: simple and intuitive UX, pleasing and not distressing UI, and large connectivity with other tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a dislike, but rather something that I feel it is missing. I believe at the moment visualization tools are very limited on Notion, and that's probably the biggest lack of features. It's true that they could potentially be integrated with third-party tools, but that makes the whole process a bit too tedious and also expensive. Basic visualization out of the box would be great to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me to organize projects in my life, but I also use it for team collaboration in my startup. This way I can use my learning of the tool for 2 quite different application and benefit from it. Regarding the use in a startup it's really important the flexibility, as the company evolves quite fast and need a toll that can evolve with it.
Notion is a powerful app but it can also be overwhelming
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Notion has a simple and clean interface and just the right amount of formatting, integrations, and structure to be an extremely powerful but flexible platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to create your own experience in Notion, which means someone basically has to architect your systems. They've gotten very good at creating standard options to choose from. Either use those or delegate one person on your team to be the architect of a certain page or set of pages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps us keep everything in one place - resources, projects, documentation, etc can all be stored in one place that's pretty discoverable and easy to find. There's also quite a bit of utility to solve specific problems like assigning tasks or tracking metrics.
Notion FTW
What do you like best about the product?
It's simple to jump right in but can be complex when needed. Everything feels natural. I also love the app integrations. We tried to use other services for project management but never used them for long because they were too strict. Notion is also good at handling multiple kinds of problems. Earlier, we had to use various services for different purposes, and now we can do everything in a single service.
What do you dislike about the product?
- All pages must have titles.
- When using tables, I cannot add a footer with different columns. Sometimes it's hard to make complex calculations and reports because I have to rewire my brain to stop thinking about tables like excel files and start thinking in Notion's way. I'm a relatively fresh user, so I hope this will change over time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First, we started with single-project management. Write PRD-s, handle ongoing tasks and gather helpful information about the related projects in one place. Since then, we have started using it for finance, CRM, vacation management and anything company related.
It is also good for taking notes :)

Notion and its use of databases are superb for organizing and sharing information
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to start using. It is a superb solution for organizing work information for personal productivity and sharing it with teams. It connects to third-party apps such as Google Docs. You can organize and embed individual files in Google Docs, making it easy to share and locate files to support your workflow. It is very versatile and can be used for document management, task management, project management, and product management, to name a few applications. There are lots of documentation, tutorials and templates to get you started. Notion is a database management platform. When you create a database in Notion (no coding required), there are numerous ways to organize and view the data: relational data, view calendars, Gantt charts and a kanban board. You can include most types of files and code in Notion.
Notion is constantly updating the product. If there is a missing feature, wait, it may get added soon.

What do you dislike about the product?
Notion is deceptively powerful. This "dislike" is not a criticism. You can use Notion quickly; however, there is a steep learning curve to use its best features, such as databases, effectively. Notion has lots of helpful documentation and video to help you learn. There is a lot of control over the look and feel, but I would like more. You have three fonts to choose from, but it would be great to have more. These are nits. There isn't anything I seriously dislike about Notion. But I know what I'm using it for. If you want to organize personal notes, there may be better options. If you are in a shared/team workspace, Notion is in a class by itself to create wikis, databases, tasks, and notes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing information with a team. Sharing information securely. We can include information created using Notion and add documents from other sources, including Google Workspace files, images, web links, videos, web pages, notes, meeting notes, contracts, document forms and more. The developers can create their workspaces, add code and connect to Jira and GitHub. We can also connect pages to Slack
We no longer use separate apps for project management, product management or notes.
Other benefits are fewer meetings, everyone is updated, communication is better, and we are completing projects more efficiently.

One of the best documentation tools out there
What do you like best about the product?
The way they structure the documents is amazing. Also, the databases are one of the most helpful things within Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
The performance of the tool has improved a lot over the last few years but it still isn't perfect. It would be awesome if the app performance could be improved soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to document game design documents. Previously, I had to deal with a lot of distinct documents in many google drive folders, and now I can make sure they're all organized.
Notion is a fabulous tool. It's highly personalised, scalable and helps create transparency
What do you like best about the product?
It's highly personalisable. It's like IKEA for productivity. A 'do it yourself (DIY) productivity tool. It gives me a sense of satisfaction working on Notion cause I can tailor to my way of working.
What do you dislike about the product?
The number of features being added is getting too much, and this might hinder increase complexity. Also, focus on improving the amount of integration would be better primarily slack and other startup digital tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving the problem of giving the user the power to solve their workspace problem proactively by letting them 100% control over UX design. No two users have the same Notion.
Amazing software for your agency!
What do you like best about the product?
The feature to manage multiple teams and have your team agenda's and briefs set for every team member plus have a kanban board for your team and projects progress is all in one solution which takes over all of the products we have used before.
What do you dislike about the product?
Until now i have not found anything which i dislike but anything which I have not used will deffo be used sooner or later within the timeline of us using the project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team management and Project management and progress of the reports.
The most complete tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the tool, extremely comprehensive, I use it A LOT in my daily life and I can't live without it anymore.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the template bank could be larger and better explored, other than that, it's sensational.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization both personal and professional and what is most relevant in the day
Great app for productivity management
What do you like best about the product?
The interface allows nesting of pages in multiple views (table, list, boards etc.) making for a streamlined way to save and organize data. Unlike some note organization apps where data feels scattered and cluttered, you can move information around in the most aesthetically pleasing way that works for your design and productivity sensibilities and preferences. It's a great app for work and life management.
What do you dislike about the product?
The app is sometimes slow to load and sometimes it looks as if some of your data has been lost. This happens rarely and only with small portions of data, but when it does, Notion customer service is great at helping to solve and recover anything lost, in my experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving the problems that come with the information age, an overload of data that seems overwhelming to organize and keep straight as you try to get work completed. By offering a simple and sleek interface to put in any type of data and the ability to sort it to your liking, you receive some relief from this excess.
Notion is the best tool to organize company docs, study notes and any kind of side project.
What do you like best about the product?
It's super easy and comfortable to structure your information with Notion's building blocks. Information ends up easy to read and easy to find, which is just what I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps the thing I dislike the most is the pdf export, since even though it works properly, it ends up quite ugly in my opinion. Still, a very minor thing that doesn't really change how awesome it is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly writing and maintaining business documentation. I started a business recently and I've used Notion to keep all of the information and ideas that I've gotten organized and stored.
