Best workspace for our team

The Notion has easy-to-use various features.
Use can use those features simply by clicking/symbol and typing the feature as you want while taking notes.
I love it!

What do you dislike about the product?
It was a completely new platform for me. So I struggled a little at the beginning to get used to it. But this platform provides you with different tutorials, examples, ready to use templates so you can easily adapt your project and start using it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it's very easy to create, edit, and share internal documents with the team. You can also create database tables and put links to those files. It's an excellent feature to see all documents in one place and reach them with one click.
Best product for personal productivity
What do you like best about the product?
I cannot think of a better tool for productivity. Often in my work I see people misusing different tools such as Presentations to share detailed lists of tasks, or Text Sheets to enter tables and numbers. Notion succeeds in being a flexible tool for every marketing activity we want to do, from strategy considerations to to-do lists.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would prefer to have simpler sharing options for those who do not have an account in Notion and simplified file export for sending documents by email. So far we found some work around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I always had my to do list in an unintuitive and flexible excel file.
Notion allows me to keep my to do list updated according to individual tasks and according to deadlines with the calendar option. Notion for my team is a terrific tool for sharing and storing documentation on our projects and OKRs

What do you dislike about the product?
Missing workflow components (described in more detail recently also via chat in Notion to customer support)
- missing email, mailing list (can have web page but not email or mailing list), also with own domain - e.g. if coming with own domain as website - as most Notion account types are offering unlimited storage
- missing chat, webinar features (text, audio, video chat) with recording feature, also Gravatar support - basically similar feature set as in Telegram
- missing proper calendar app

- searching information

- storing websites for later reading, although that feature needs yet improvements

Notion: The Swiss Army Knife of Business Applications
What do you like best about the product?
The blank-slate canvas that notion provides is both very intimidating and promising. It has the ability to create databases that can be connected to other databases. It has very rich note-taking capabilities that even alow for a LaTex-like language as well as support for many programming languages.
Overall, I would highly recommend this tool especially if you hate using things like spreadsheets and wikis to document and track things.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is not the most out-of-the-box intuitive application. You can't just open it and know what you're doing. It requires either watching videos or spending a lot of time exploring. I would not recommend using it without going through those steps first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- A robust note-taking application for different math and development courses that I take.
- Keeping track of different personal or work projects that don't require interactions with developers.
- Managing personal databases of things that I want to keep track of like restaurants that I usually go to, or home renovation projects that I'm working on.

Notion is the place to organize and document your work or even life
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is linkable with @ tags you can reference any document, create reminders or tag teammate's
Beyond powerful no code workspace building and document editing notion ties everything together making it easy to search information across the organization, it even has a Omni search bar

What do you dislike about the product?
Notion could improve its document editing capabilities to better match excel , word and PowerPoint .
There are still times the office package is necessary for external presentation, complex spreadsheet databases or word documents

Notion is the HQ and hearth of a company.
You find all you need to get onboarded , it's your knowledge hub on projects, teams, and the org.
For smaller companies it can even be used for task management susbstituting a range of tools like the atlasian suite

Notion is by far the best organizational tool in my life.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to create different pages. I have so my on my plate, but it's easy for me to separate my personal and work life using Notion. I stay organized when all of this information is out of my head. I can think much more clearly and stay pretty calm without worrying if I am missing something.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not anything I dislike about Notion. However, one suggestion that I have is adding significantly more templates. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the idea of creating a new list or page. I'm not ever sure what the best way to go about it is. But using the templates, I find it easy and convenient just to plug in my info. So if there were more templates, I feel like I that would enhance my experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It keeps everyone in the company on the same page. While making calls, we can input a lot of information into Notion so that there is minimal need for back and forth, giving us more time to be productive.
I started using Notion and it changed me and those around me.
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the design of the Notion product itself.
It is easy to write things down about myself and my work, organize my mind, and clarify what I need to do now.
Each person who uses Notion has his or her own Notion, and it is a wonderful tool that also allows people to show each other their Notion screens and share their enjoyment.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have no complaints about the tool itself. In fact, I rave about it.
However, it is a tool that is strongly unsuitable for beginners.
One thing I would like to see Notion do better is to create a "tutorial" for new users.
While Notion is multifunctional and can do just about anything, those who are just starting out will find themselves in a state of "I don't know what to touch," and in the worst case scenario, they will dislike it and stop using it. This can be seen in the reactions on Twitter in Japan.
I would also like to see notifications in the tool when new features are updated.
The update information is very helpful for Notion users, but it is very confusing. At the very least, it would be nice if there was a pop-up window in the lower right corner of the Notion screen with the update information. on the bottom right of the Notion screen.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion has the advantage of helping you organize your mind and clarify what to do next.
In terms of work, it clarifies tasks that need to be done.
It also allows for manual creation and sharing, so you can write down what you want to write down and share your work.
It also has an embedding function, which is useful for embedding images - Google Map and all other aspects.
I think the advantage of Notion is that these can be done easily.

No-code Database is powerful!
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to write markdowns, the ability to collaboratively edit in real time, and many other excellent features, but the ability to create and manage databases with no code is wonderful. You can use the database for various purposes such as task management, project management, Kanban, movie impressions of your hobbies, photos of fish you caught, etc.
Another exciting point is that you can set icons and cover photos for each page.

What do you dislike about the product?
Although security aspects have been enhanced recently, at one time there were no features such as operation logs or allowing partial publication of web pages. This has now been improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to use a collaboration tool, but it was only a text-based information sharing tool, and by switching to Notion, we can utilize the database and no longer need to use other services to manage each team's tasks and progress.
Best personal note app with superb functionalities and collaboration features
What do you like best about the product?
Best of the best is the super flexible embedding capabilities that makes note organisation and referencing easy, thus it is great to put things into structures anywhere within the documents so you dont have to go back to find and add by copy and paste.
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing particular, but to make the best out of the tool you need to be willing to learn a little bit at the beginning so you can free yourself afterwards by leveraging the shortcuts, the drag and drop, the tables and the filters, after all, they are all still very basic and intuitive ones.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Information clipping and organisation in a more flexible way for personal and business users or a mix, saving me time to jump between excel and doc for cut and paste in google and able to use and display anything anywhere within the documents.
My Favorite Project Management Tool To Date!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been looking for a great solution to manage a $259k SBIR Phase I Grant we received this past June (2022), and I look at other products, but they didn't meet my needs. I luckily stumbled across Notion, and it's perfect for my needs. As a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) since 2004, I've managed numerous projects, from small projects to multi-million dollar IT projects for Newport News Shipbuilding. One of the biggest challenges is communication amongst the project team, and another is configuration management. Notion helped me solve both of those, easily.
It's very easy to use - when I first found it, I initially looked at consultants on Fiverr to help set it up. But I didn't go that route because as I started using it, I realized how simple it is. I even found a few YouTube videos that helped as well.
I'm actually presenting what I've done with Notion to my government program manager this week, to show him that we're managing a project in a new and different way than he's ever seen. Anxious to hear what he says.
I also LOVE that Notion offers help for startups, and doubles the offer for those who have participated in one of their recognized accelerator programs. My startup received a $1,000 credit through that, which has been extremely helpful!

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much - I have been able to do so much with it. That said, there are a few minor things.
1. I hate to see Notion send out emails telling people how to manage a book club, manage recipes (I use Paprika for that – it’s a great app and better suited for this function. Why? Because it auto loads website URLS that have recipes, and downloads the recipe, separating the ingredients list, directions, photos, etc. – Notion can’t do any of that) and so on when it can do so much more. I have seen similar issues with other apps that try to do the same thing, tell you how to use a PM app to manage your life, when most people don’t really need that.
2. I'd like to have a better way to have team members that can participate in the project, and be assigned to parts of it, but without giving them the ability to do anything inside it so that I can get everyone involved without having to pay a license for everyone. I already have 12, and I have 3 people that I would like to add for this.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As previously mentioned, a Project Manager's role is 90% communication. Notion not only enables a much better experience for that (even asynchronously), it also enables storytelling, which makes it much more memorable for the project team.
