Notion is easy and reliable.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of navigation makes using the software really easy. The speed with which I can build structure and build on information is a valuable attribute. The endlessness of my ability to create pages and store and share information is meaningful to me. I also like the ability to customize with emojis for expression and, again, that navigation aspect. Lastly, I have found the Chrome plug-in very convenient.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not dabbled in the formulas capability as I do not intuitively understand how to build with it. Then again, I haven't had much need for calculations or macro-like functionality. I do not even use the template features. Still, that's one unintuitive factor of the software to call out as a Dislike. It would be great if the software worked with me 'old' iPhone 6. Maybe that's a sign I need to replace the hardware - definitely not the software!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Knowledge warehousing is important to me. Doing so in a database is unimportant; rather, collecting information and resources into sections and by categories helps me mentor others, store my own archives, and draft prose.
I've known about Notion for a while but I only just finally "got it"!
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is so simple to use and its possibilities are almost endless. I love that you can create as many documents as you like and quickly and easily style them and add to them. I love that you can use the different pages in multiple different ways, either as a journal, or to take notes, or as a repository for documentation about different workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love it if the free version offered a bit more features for collaboration, but I guess it's well worth it to just get the paid version if you're going to be using it with a team to collaborate on any conceivable project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me by being a quick and simple place that's accessible anywhere that I can use to track whatever I want, whether that's documentation for software that I use, or journal entries so I can see what I've done on a particular day.
Surprisingly a tool I can't live without
What do you like best about the product?
I can organize my thoughts, research and notes. I especially like that I can share notes with others.
I have used database tools which are very capable and advanced. I have other parts of my account, and the ability to have private and public notes and subjects are imperative to me. The Mac app, the iOS app and the web app work seamlessly and don't slow down my computer. I now have more research there than ever, and it is maintainable, scalable and sharable. It's also private, and I can trust Notion to keep my privacy intact and not mine or sell my data, unlike what we suspect with free services like Google Drive. I also reach out to Customer Service and they are prompt and helpful with any of my questions.

What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes get confused about managing the users who are part of the account. And it's sometimes unclear to me about the billing, but customer service always answers my questions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is helping to maintain a research and note-taking notebook that is safe from being lost. With Notion, I feel confident that my ideas won't be lost or mistreated by myself or others. I will always have my thoughts, research and notes, which are most important compared to physical objects.
Notion is the future of docs
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is
- simple when you need it to be. No notion doc ever needs to be more complex than an Apple Notes note or a Word Doc
- flexible when you want it to be. Notion's different block types enable easy calendar creation & viewing data management, and even layout changes that make docs fun and easy to digest.

What do you dislike about the product?
Notion's biggest fault is that without widespread adoption, Google Docs is just a better competitor. Having my entire company switch over to a new Docs app is next to impossible.
While it's speedy, I do appreciate that some people prefer the bare-bones note taking experience that comes with things like Apple Notes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion has been huge in
- planning
- creating documents with metadata (e.g. this doc is relevant from this date to this date or a doc with a completion status)
- replacing the absolutely terrible structure of Jira

Wonderful tool for organizing all sorts of projects
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has continued to evolve into a reliable structure for organizing information across teams. Its flexibility in templates and layouts makes it easy to adapt to new workflows, and collaboration feels more seamless as we expand its use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial learning curve remains the main challenge, especially for new users. However, once familiar with the commands and navigation, the experience becomes intuitive and efficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration across different projects. We work with multiple development projects simultaneously, which makes it hard to communicate both the current status and what is left to be done in each project. It is allowing us to manage multiple projects efficiently, with less room for miscommunication.
One of the best organization apps
What do you like best about the product?
It is so fun and easy to use! I can not only reorganize tables of data but it's been very useful to move around text, from sentences to entire walls of paragraphs. It's syncing across devices has also not failed me yet, which I appreciate since I always have issues with other services not saving my most recent edits.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. It has accomplished what I've needed and expected from it, for personal use anyway. I guess the only non-issue is the persistence and repeating of deleted pages in the bin, but that's not too bad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to reorganize tables, lists and paragraphs with ease. There's also a kind of dashboard where you can add cards of information, which is useful for studying purposes and has helped keep track with art commissions.
Dynamic and flexible platform for all needs and in continuous evolution
What do you like best about the product?
Databases are perfect for managing tasks and workflows, which in other software are less customizable. Another preferential factor is the ability to format the page as you want, with many elements, always with a view to having a tailor-made work environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having many different places to put tasks, but not being able to merge them into a single database.
Another thing that can be annoying is not knowing how much Notion can allow you to scale in terms of numbers and management; it would be nice to have a better view of what and how much you can do.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion offers a platform to manage a very particular workflow, which needs a lot of information to keep track of and allows the whole team to add their piece to the completion and progress of the task.
Indeed it makes it preferable to other platforms precisely because of the robust customization, from what is the insertion of properties to the use of formulas that create detailed data and do not require a passage on the spreadsheets, keeping all the data on a single platform.

Easy to use and helpful
What do you like best about the product?
You can easily manage everything in one place to get more stuff done for personal matters an business. Notion really helps our team thrive with wiki's and internal documents as it is an easy to use application for web. Support is very helpful but could be improved.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes be complicated to use and not very user friendly as some people like it to be. SSO can be complex to setup however support helped us with this. Support could be a lot faster as it takes very long for them to respond to their highest plan customers.

Notion has been improved knowledge sharing in our business exceptionally easy
What do you like best about the product?
It is so easy to share information with everyone around our business, which means in my operational role, people don't come to me all the time with questions. They can find out the answers for themselves! It also makes running projects very simple – the one-stop shop for all information.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that moving different modules around the page can be quite tricky and that the number of options for customisation are quite limited. However, this may be my naievity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Knowledge hub and project management.
It means that people aren't coming to me with lots of questions anymore, and they can all find all the information that they need. It also means we can more easily keep all of our policies up to date.
Project management before was a nightmare. There was no centralised place to store everything which meant a lot of back and forth between colleagues

By far the best app for staying organized (and I've tested many!)
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has to be by far the most versatile and useful tool that I know of in the "productivity tools" category. It has so many features and functions and combines all the best parts of Google Docs/Sheets, Airtable, and Apple Notes all in one well-designed app.
It's amazing for storing knowledge in so many different forms, and it's been a huge help in staying on top of projects, especially in creating videos & content. I also LOVE the fact that Notion just keeps on getting better with time - they really listen to their community and keep adding improvements all the time, way more than other apps I've used. The interface is nicely designed and everything just works well.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, very few things come to mind. Up until recently, the one big advantage that other similar apps (like Roam & Obsidian) had going for them was their handy sidebar features, but Notion recently added that as well.
Bi-directional linking doesn't work quite as well as in Roam or Obsidian, that's probably the one big advantage these apps offer - though to be honest, I don't really miss it that much. You can easily link to other pages in Notion, and all of it's other advantages make it a far more useful and versatile tool in my mind.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've started several businesses now and Notion has been integral to all of them. I use it to take notes (using toggle lists), store ideas (using databases), manage video & content creation (using kanban boards), and write newsletters, which I can easily copy/paste with formatting, as Notion uses markdown.
