Notion for Knowledge Management
What do you like best about the product?
Our company has been using Notion for as long as I can remember. It is our main mode of documenting processes and policies. I like how Notion lets me collaborate with other employees. It also tracks changes and in some instances, only some people can do those changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is easy for things to get lost in Notion. The search function is not too good and it becomes much more difficult if people have written about the same topic on several pages. The Notion app also gets buggy when there are several items listed on a page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Knowledge Management, Note-Taking, Gantt-Charting, project management, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are other Note-taking software out in the market which are easier to use. You might want to research on this first...

Super sweet note taking!
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to format text and organise all the different pages, personal and work related. I really like the ability to personalise all pages with header images and icons!
What do you dislike about the product?
Being used to InDesign, somethings are hard to get used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's more advanced than simple "Notes" so it's nice to be able to take notes and sub-notes and sub-sub-notes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to make use of all the ways you can format the copy, it makes your notes so much more legible. There are a lot of ways to divide your thoughts.
Notion for Documentation
What do you like best about the product?
Our company has been using Notion for over a year now. We use it to draft and maintain our policies. It is stored on the cloud and highly collaborative. Various members of the organization can comment on your Notion document. The software is also highly integrated with Notion, Slack, such that you receive updates when there are edits and comments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Things can easily get lost in Notion. The amount of documents our company has created as been staggering and you can just imagine how hard it is to keep track of all these.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Knowledge Management, note-taking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No recommendations as of the moment.
Notion is the best
What do you like best about the product?
Its so easy to use, great for collaborating
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish it integrated with Google calendar so my notifications went to my calendar
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration and project managemrnt
Tool for all of our needs
What do you like best about the product?
Notion's interface is adaptable for practically anything we need. Their team is super responsive and provide a ton of support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it's so customizable, Notion is hard to start using effectively as a team because you have to design each workflow that it'll be used for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for CRM with customers, investors, and general ecosystem tracking. It's also handy for project management, team management, and knowledge sharing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it.
The most flexible productivity software you'll ever use
What do you like best about the product?
I like the modular abilities of Notion. Previously I had to use a particular tool for a particular task, for example, kanbans would be best in Trello, to-do lists in Todoist or Google keep then I would keep my documents in docs and databases in Excel or Google Sheets. What Notion does is replaces all of them and makes me create a very customized layout so if I had to use a kanban + calendar + a few docs I can very easily do it. I can remix and re-create as per my needs so this was the winning feature that made me switch from other tools. A lot of productivity is to do with being in charge and control, this truly helps me take control and streamline my workflow under one roof.
What do you dislike about the product?
The API and data-oriented features are missing. I know these are getting built but how cool would it be if Notion could speak to all my apps maybe and provide zapier like automation. And also being able to pull data out of it so, maybe from my Fitbit daily steps or heart rate automatically gets fed in and then I could see and map it or even take action like emailing the report to my doctor whenever it gets absurdly high
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
-Reduction in number of apps related to achieving the same task
-Less stressful workflow management. Generally, after adding so many todos, etc it's really stressful but notions layout actually helps me get work done
-The cost saved that we were paying for many tools that are now inside notion.
- More clarity due to custom layouts: Just a todo list or a kanban would just give a certain level of insights with Notion I can create pages inside pages, different views link different mechanisms like kanban, calendar, to-dolist a database so I can gain any level of insight right in one app. That is powerful earlier I had to open certain things then comment there then text them elsewhere to reply me there. With notion that's a thing of the past.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It might seem hard to setup because there's just so many things you can do but once you figure that part out it's really easy and streamlined. Watch videos on youtube under the "Keep Productive" channel to get a heads up to what you can expect also consider using a template to get started.
Great alternative to Confluence
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to view, add and edit content. Very visual approach, light and accessible from anywhere since it's browser-based. Useful templates
What do you dislike about the product?
The to-do lists and Kanbans are not as complete as to replace Trello or Jira.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create a repository of useful information for employees.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try their templates before taking a decision. They are so well designed, they may already offer what you are looking for.
Use Notion for your Documentation Needs
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is my first experience of an advanced documentation tool. I used to work in traditional banking that had legacy systems especially for policies and other things. In this aspect, I like how Notion is, like most other apps, is completely run on the cloud. You will never lose your policies and documents unless you lost your account. Notion also brings a level of collaboration as you can add and tag certain company users into your document for editing or simply reading.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been struggling with Notion in terms of two things: 1) Version Control and 2) Search. I have collaborators who change and edit things that I write. While it is great that I am notified via email, this online collaboration has seemed to remove real life discussion. The search function can be improved on. I frequently lose documents once people have dumped heaps on me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps us with documentation and knowledge management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
None at the moment.
Make your policies with Notion!
What do you like best about the product?
We are using Notion as our policy and documentation tool. We type and store our policies and processes here. You can also use this for note taking. Moving on to the features I like, it is relatively easy to create a new Notion document and start typing, you can then choose whom to share it to in the organization. Notion also allows you to attach other file types and even pictures which makes this excellent for making documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our company has generated volumes of documents on Notion and it is shockingly hard to find some of them. If you are not using a certain Notion document often, it will get lost in oblivion and is hard to find via Notion's search function.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is a documentation tool. It is all online and enables collaboration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No recommendations at the moment. I am not aware of other tools in the market.
Notion is a well-layed out system for easily compiling and organizing documents for company use.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is easily organized with plenty of options for creating files to easily and effectively communicate ideas and information. The ability for multiple users to collaborate simultaneously on documents is especially beneficial to productivity. The change logging system is helping in knowing where you last left off on a multiple day project.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have minor annoyances with the interaction process within a note, such as trying to edit a commented upon section usually results in editing the comment instead, but overall, the system is effective and easy to use. There are times would like a potentially more simplified version of inserting object blocks within a document (i.e. inserting an image or placing a video clip)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion provides and excellent means of creating a database of files and logs for company access. A better option for storing information sources than a lumped-together dropbox.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Notion can be a complex and multilevel as you make it or retain a minimalistic simplicity. Explore all of its functions before deciding on a structure to more effectively utilize the tools at your disposal.
