Great Wiki for both personal and professional

  • June 02, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Mostly full autonomy on stylizing and formatting without the huge learning curve associated with teams at scale (as well as the ease of collaboration!)
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the functionalities for tables/charts can be a bit limiting. Personally, the emojis can also be a bit distracting
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With full autonomy comes a bit of issues with updating across teams. Luckily though, there is an activity log to view revisions.

What Evernote & G-Drive Should Been

  • May 22, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
OH MY GOD, THE PRICE. Notion should be charging way more for the value it provides. + the Fluidity of the platform and ease of rearranging information, pages, sections, and relating/connecting documents and pages. Goodbye to the nightmare of hyperlinking everything
What do you dislike about the product?
Some functionality is limited, i.e. PLEASE ADD CRM INTEGRATIONS WITH SALESFORCE EVEN IF ITS LIMITED. Additionally, if I have an excel sheet with data that needs to be added to an already existing table, I can download the notion table and merge it with the CSV but I CANNOT upload my CSV to the notion table it nor copy and paste the entire data set to it. I have to add the data field by field/one at a time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing customer research and simplified ability to collect, organize and gather the information that excel does not allow for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Literally, Notion will eliminate this scenario: 'that series of documents' held together by hyperlinks that you keep trying to get your team to refer back to because they 'forgot about the info in them' or 'don't know where x info can be found'

Great tool to gather all your important notes and work in one place

  • May 16, 2020

What do you like best about the product?
It's simple to use. It's a bundle of different tools at a very reasonable price. I think that's one of the best solutions when you're freelancer. You can use use it professionally as well as for the personal organization.
What I like in Notion in the freedom you have to create what you want the way you want. I use it for my OKR (work) as well as for my next christmas wishlist (personal).
One of the most important Notion features is a powerful note-taking. You can add a list, plain text, videos, sound, code snippets
You can personalize it by adding nice images.
You have nice templates you can use such as meeting notes, personal CRM, or project management.
What do you dislike about the product?
You really need your other colleagues to dive into Notion if you want to get the full potential of the tool. If some other colleagues prefer using tools like Trello, Google Agenda, or Confluence, you lose some benefits of the system.
I think the price gets a bit high when a whole team is onboarded into Notion. There should be a more reasonable price when there is big group of people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps you get organized. You can easily create agendas, to-do lists and organize your documents. You can link it to other tools such as Google Drive.
You gather everything in one place. I still using Google Agenda and Google Drive but it makes the hub between all my tools. You can link or import Google sheets or Google Docs as well as Trello projects.
The best feature I use is Projet Management for my personal blog. I write a lot and contrary to Google Docs, Notion helps me to gather all my notes, images and links in a clean and proper way. Combined with the project management system, I know what I need to write next, or what articles need to be reviewed.

Absolutely essential for any business

  • May 13, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's the single most important tool for any startup or business. You don't realise how much information there is flowing through a business until you see it all laid out in a wiki like Notion. It's a super flexible system and everybody we got on it loves using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes might be a little too complex for new people to get their heads round to how it works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing and organising company knowledge and projects.

Beyond note taking, possibilities are many!

  • April 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I switched from evernote and Notion was a refreshing, the layout, nesting notes and the elements within the notes. I've moved all my documentation and meeting notes here from paid Evernote. Now sharing notes with clients and my team is a breeze. I especially like the elements such as headers and intuitive tables that have things easy. I'm presently trying the wiki function.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's taking time to learn all the features, on-boarding could be better (even for clients as well)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documentation and note taking for my organizations and sharing notes to clients and team as well (meetings notes, plans etc)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can use it for your
1. Team wiki
2. Client process documentation
3. Client meeting notes
4. Client wiki

Notion has changed my expectations for all future documentation tools

  • April 03, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Being able to hand craft everything I'm needing at this current time, live in a document, with just my keyboard is a phenomenal experience. Being able to create a new dataset in a table, visualize it as a calendar, drill down by custom properties, and link that same database inside another document? Life changing features.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I'd say my number one benefit of Notion is keyboard controls, it struggles to provide the same comfort to regular users. People who aren't as keyboard savvy are often asking how to do things, and I show them via keyboard shortcut. It's not truly accessible to everyone in its current state.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're now using Notion for our entire project, aside from real time conversations in slack. We organize all our documentation, calendars, and project planning inside of Notion.

We have a kanban style board with all our work, drilled down into several custom views for ease of use. Being able to browse projects by bugs, tasks, epics, assignee is awesome. Each user can also make a private page, and embed custom tables for themselves. They're now able to create personalized trello boards and micromanage their tasks in their own way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use color/icons a lot in notion. It will make you feel excited both to create a document, but also to own it. You really appreciate the things you create in Notion.

Best collaboration software!

What do you like best about the product?
Very helpful to keep everything you need in one place.You can keep track of all your work in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The load time of Notion is quite slow both in mobile and desktop application. It will almost take 30 seconds for the mobile app to load which is very frustrating. Faster app load time would make the user experience very smooth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing of day to day activities is very helpful using Notion features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Notion is the best application for managing, organising, planning all your activities. Don't think twice. Give it a try.

University student using notion for studying

What do you like best about the product?
The interface is user friendly and there is a clean and attractive design. I really enjoy the ease of adding pages and the intuitiveness of the program.
What do you dislike about the product?
No option for me to sort pages in notebooks, the grouping system can be advanced upon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using notion to organize different aspects of my life into one main hub, instead of having several notes on different activities scattered in different apps. I also use notion to study for exams through active recall.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep it organized and avoid cluttering your dashboard

Notion is the best tool for me to organize all internal team assets, notes, and project management!

  • November 27, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is for me to start a new document and use all of their available templates for me to go off of.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how there isn't a better guide for using their "shortcuts" for using templates and things like that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefits seem to be endless. I'm able to keep my notes neatly organized as well as complete projects on time with the help of Notion.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to really explore all of the available features and use Dark Mode!

Great if you use it properly!

What do you like best about the product?
With Notion’s minimalist approach, Notion takes home the win. In Notion, you can change your database to view the gallery, list, table and board view, even calendar view! They're all easy to read and fully customizable. Notion can fill in tons of gaps in your team’s organization. Where other platforms fall short, Notion has come up with a solution.

When it comes to collecting documents on Notion for further use, you have almost no limitations as to what type of document you can use. For notes and docs, you can upload documents from your Evernote, Word, Google Docs or Dropbox Paper, which means that you no longer will have to worry about scouring these programs individually to find a certain piece of information.

It doesn’t stop there though—you can embed tons of information from a wide rather of apps and programs, like Google Maps, Twitter, Typeform and Codepen, right into your Notion docs. Your team revolves around tasks and projects, so Notion has a great solution for integrating your other project management programs to help keep everything in one place.

For example, you can import your Trello boards or Asana’s team management tools into Notion to organize and manage all from one spot.

By integrating other powerful tools, you can fully harness Notion to manage, monitor and communicate with your team.

However, if you’re not already using a workflow or project management tool, Notion has its own unique system of creating and managing workflows. It can become the project management tool you always knew you needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I’d recommend people do their research into what features are the most suitable and whether Notion meets those needs. Whilst Notion can be used as a Trello, Todoist and Evernote replacement, it isn’t going to fulfill all the needs you and with these applications.

From my own opinions, it replaces Trello - due to the board nature and databases - but not fully Evernote and Todoist right now. To fully replace Evernote it does need a little more focus on note-taking, and with Todoist it needs a LOT more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For tasks and projects, you can choose from list-style templates like to-dos, checklists, and workflows, but you can also select templates with varying formattings like the calendar template or the roadmap template, which are both designed to help you organize and visualize upcoming tasks and projects.
