Feels Redundant At Times But Still Super Helpful If Needed
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a helpful tool for tracking notes and written information across many people. Think of it like a Google Doc within many Google Docs, so that you can bucket by client or project, allowing you to be able manage Docs as needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The design is bland and the UX is tight yet still too much. This is because if you need Notion, you have many clients/projects to manage, and high numbers of files or subfiles creates a convoluted process for finding exactly what you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traditionally, notes and anything written were spread out across many platforms or personal computers. Notion streamlines this, making communication and collaboration easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You need a team that leans in and fully uses it. From day one, expecting people to move out of wherever they were taking notes or sharing documents is a set up for failure. It takes time, and focused people using it daily, and in every meeting. The more it's used, the more people can't not use it. Once it's in use, it will replace other locations, like Google Docs, Word, Notes, email, etc.

Easy to use and interesting way to structure information
What do you like best about the product?
It's friendly to use and quite easy to get started with.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not very customizable and elements of UX are confusing (such as switching accounts).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped us create a basic knowledge base that we eventually transferred to Jira Service Desk. It was problematic in that the UI was too basic to use as a permanent knowledge base.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great to get started and free for students.
All around good software

Very easy to use
Flexible - you can make it your own as needed
Clean interface
Lots of integrations

What do you dislike about the product?
Online application only at the moment - offline mode would be useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping all my notes in one place, easy to find and organise everything for work. It allows me to dump my thoughts and scribbles in one place and move them around really easily later on - which is something you can't do very well on paper or with other software
Notion is a great tool for organization both professionally and personally.
What do you like best about the product?
It’s completely customizable while offering plenty of great templates to get you started. Notion is also incredibly affordable with free plans that have enough storage for many users.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s customization and flexibility make it easy to make unwanted changes that have to be cleaned up later. They also have no feature for web forms which would be an invaluable asset for project management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for project management across our staff and for personal organization. It was a great tool when I was a student for keeping track of assignments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot. It’s free tiers means there’s nothing to lose.
Great productivity tool

It's just better than trello, jira and google docs combined.
So easy to collaborate with my team on projects and create knowledge bases

Notion is great for documentation!
What do you like best about the product?
I like Notion. We use it in our company for documentation and note-taking
- You can easily share documents as they are publicly available to the company. You can also choose whom to share it to.
- The version control is strict. When there are changes, you will receive notifications in email.
- There are various formats and templates that you can choose from.

What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike Notion because:
- It is hard to track your work. It can get lost. It would be useful to have a directory list of documents made for a certain topic.
- The offline app is buggy. It hangs and loads slowly on my laptop.

Manage your knowledge base with Notion
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is my very first experience of an online knowledge base where there could be multiple contributors to a document. In my previous company we used a very old tool which just showed documents and policies but nobody was allowed to create anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion needs a directory to keep everything organized. There are a lot of documents in Notion that gets lost. There should also be better tracking on the documents. Sometimes I cannot tell what one person has edited into our documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Notion, we are able to collaborate on documents, policies, processes, and the like.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I find Notion difficult to use. I recommend trying other software before committing to this.
Notion is our policy making tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like how notion enables my workmates and I to collaborate on various draft making of policies and processes. There's also strict version control. When a collaborator makes a change, I am notified thru email. You can also see the various changes made by editors of the document.
What do you dislike about the product?
The problem with notion has been its search function. With the vast amounts of data written in our Notion, things are easily lost. Even documents I have written have gotten lost in this ocean of data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is for our corporate knowledge base needs and for note taking. It's easy for people to make notes on a single document at the same time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No recommendations at the moment.
CODA v EVERNOTE v SAVING GRACE
What do you like best about the product?
You can get to this app by web, phone, or desktop and it doesn't consume much space. You are free to do any design type you want or you can choose from a template the community has built or ones that Notion have built. The owner is very approachable to suggestions. Tons of YouTubes about how to use it, if you need that sort of thing. Very minimalistic. You can integrate everything into one space and make several mini accounts, I have a side for academics and aside for personal stuff.
What do you dislike about the product?
When the application first came out we had a scribble/drawing add-in feature and it is no longer there. And the phone app could be more in line with what we see on the internet and desktop interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having everything in one place so that when I sit down at a meeting, I don't have to say wait a minute let me find. I have the website, the notes I did, the file, everything all in front of me... with no lag!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give it a good month up against Evernote, because I am sure you are a die-hard fan because it came first. Notion has even made it easy to convert things over from Evernote, so really no excuse not to try it. Did I mention the free version is just as amazing as the paid? And if you are a student, its free with an upgrade.
