What do you like best about the product?

My friend introduced me to notion in 2019. I could see how passionate he was about organising his life on notion pages and in data bases. So I decided to give it a try. After a month of playing around I realized how genius the platform is.

The platform is like combination of your paper note book, database management system, link storage and collaboration space.

Imagine having a desktop. Normally you can have shortcuts (little square logos) to word, excel, jpg files. But what if you can have a full size picture, a text next to it, underneath links to sources and a calendar, and somewhere on the side filtered data from the database? Sounds fantastic, I know. No other software can organize information in such a convenient way.

Since then I use it for everything, from daily task, to friends and family network management, to university notes, to building complex CRM & SRM systems.

What do you dislike about the product?

There are barely any glitches. If I compare it to Microsoft ecosystem, it's like black and white. Microsoft is growing fast but with loads of imperfections. Notion is growing slow but steadily. My only fear is that this service is so cool that they might charge at one point in the future more than I can afford. Their software is more than I could wish for, but there are no alternatives. Meaning, if I ever will be forced to leave, I have no idea how to extract all the data without getting lost in it. For now it is possible to extract in a form of a pdf or excel file. It is better than nothing, but if you have large set of data in various formats, it is a problem. I am so happy to have my life organized on notion, but it freaks me out if I won't have access to it or have to move to other service for whatever reason.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a unique software that combines various data formats (text, pictures, excel tables, links etc) in a convenient layout with a very user friendly interface. I had no previous experience working with database management, but now I organize everything there.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a digital marketer. And i use it as a dashboard for my project and each of my client have his own notion space.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is an all-time destination for daily task management. It has everything you need to manage your daily work, note down things, attach links and documents, share it with people, and also you can work collaboratively with other people. It has checkboxes, lists, headers, sub-titles, and many more things that you need to make it useful for your daily needs. I've seen people converting notion pages to websites which can be done using 3rd party tools. It also has great integrations with other apps to import and export notes. They also have numerous templates for easy work start.

What do you dislike about the product?

Notion has good features but they are in a way restricted in the way of placement. We don't get that freedom of placing our content in a way we want just like we do on open canvases. It has a weird placement of columns if we want to keep them side by side. It has limited options for custom icons for the pages. We cannot drag the cover image if we want it to be big.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion has increased productivity a lot. I've been using Notion for a while and I've seen myself increasing productivity and wasting less time. It has everything and anything that you want for your work. You can easily note down things in a way you like. The pre-built templates make it easier for users to start with their work. The integration of importing notes from other popular note-taking apps has become useful for users.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Amazing one-stop destination for all your note-taking and building tools.

What do you like best about the product?

How revolutionary it is! It truly is one of the best pieces of software I have used in years. It has many different features rolled into one place - it's like having Excel, Word, OneNote, SharePoint, OneDrive and PowerPoint in one place. The Database functionality is fantastic (Excel take notes). It is like an avid user has built it with all the parts that Excel is missing. Also, having integrations with Zapier has been a life saver, the forms to Notion functionality has helped the adoption of Notion! We're hoping within a year, the whole company will be avid Notion users!

What do you dislike about the product?

There isn't that much to fault, I would say the main improvement is the ability to have paragraphs and not for text to be broken into lines. Makes it easier when building templates into Notion and then copying them into emails for example! Also, I'd love to see a duplicate and move function instead of them being two separate functions as I do a lot of copying and moving.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a business, everything was everywhere. Everyone worked slightly differently and it was hard to look at past work, we would start again at the start of every project. With Notion, we're able to build project templates for our employees to use again and again. It is easy to search for past projects to find examples of work. We're looking at Notion now as a library of information for the company!

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Go for it!! It's a leap of change but well worth it!

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is very easy to use, and extremely flexible so you can build your workspace in the way it works best for you. I use it in my personal and professional life. It's a game changer to organize, document and manage tasks/projects. The product is always improving based on Customer Feedback.

What do you dislike about the product?

In the professional workspace we have a difficulty related to shared permissions of diferent views of a database. We found an workaround, so It's not really a problem, but I dislike the need to use the workaround in order to have the right permission set.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The need to have all the information in only one platform. So instead of using a platform for documentation, another to manage task, another to build simple spreadsheets, we can have it all in one place.
And Notion has a lot of integrations that allow us to automize proccess, generate especific notifications and so much more.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

There are excelent communities to learn tips about Notion. I learned a lot on reddit. And so many people love Notion that it's really easy to find templates and people to talk about it!

What do you like best about the product?

I like that Notion offers a great interface to collaborate with peers. It is easy to create pages that have a lot of content and peers can be tagged so that they may view information and comment directly. It's also more practical to use Notion when there is a lot of information as it is more readable and the load time is faster.

What do you dislike about the product?

The main issue with Notion is that it can quickly become a never ending suite of Notion pages that are embedded into each other. This makes navigating Notion a bit overwhelming at times.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion helps us have all documents in the same place and is easy to navigate. In addition, it is a great tool to share a great quantity of information with other teams as you can put an almost unlimited amount of info.

What do you like best about the product?

I am a business professional and I've tried every single app out there. I have to say, Notion is the best. It's easy to use, has all the features one needs and it looks great too! The best part is that it integrates with my other apps seamlessly, so I don't need to switch between different platforms when I work on a project.

Some specific features i like the most

- Dark Theme
- Quick Search
- Easy accessibility to all the features and tools with shortcuts
- Easy & beautiful layout
- All-in-one workspace

What do you dislike about the product?

Although it comes with many useful features, there is always room for improvement Notion is not easy to setup and does have a learning curve. However, once you get it set up, it has the potential for some really powerful features.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used to use different apps for things like to-do lists. But now, I don't need to switch between different programs and the entire project is right there in one place. As a result, it's easy to monitor everything and keep my priorities straight.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I've tried a number of different planning organization tools, but Notion is the best one. I'm able to customize it in any way I want and it's really easy to use. The other apps feel like they're too rigid and don't offer enough customization options. Notion is my favorite app!

What do you like best about the product?

As someone who practically lives in Notion, the recent stuff has been less about minor tweaks and more about genuine game-changers. I feel like they finally hit the accelerator on making it a true all-in-one workspace, especially with how they're handling AI.

Here are the new things that I'm personally loving:

The Agent: It's Not Just AI Chat, It's an AI Teammate
The biggest shift is the move from "Notion AI" being a fancy text generator to what they call a Notion Agent. Seriously, it's like hiring a power-user intern for your workspace.

Deep Context is Key: It doesn't just read the page you're on. Now, I can ask it, "Summarize the last two meetings I had with the design team and pull out all the action items assigned to me," and it'll search my calendar, meeting notes database, and even Slack messages (if connected) to give me a concise answer with citations. No more copy-pasting info just to prompt an AI.

Database Automation: My project tracker is finally a dream. I can tell the Agent to look at my raw customer feedback notes, automatically tag them with properties like 'Feature Request,' 'Bug Report,' and 'Priority: Medium,' and summarize the sentiment—all without me touching a single cell.

Notion Calendar is a Real Calendar Now
I used to keep my calendar separate because the integration was clunky. Not anymore.

The Meetings Tab: This new tab in the sidebar is genius. It syncs with my calendar and auto-creates a structured note for every meeting. No more scrambling to make a new page five minutes before a call. I just type /meet on any page, hit start, and the notes are perfectly filed away.

Calendar Searchable by Agent: I mentioned this above, but it's worth its own bullet point. I can ask the Agent, "When did I last meet with Sarah and what did we discuss about the budget?" The fact that it can search my calendar and past meeting notes together is a huge time-saver.

New Database Views
The database is the heart of Notion, and they keep making it more versatile.

Map View and Place Property: I'm a travel fanatic, and this is a gift. I can now add a Place property to my itinerary database, and it instantly shows all the locations on an actual map view. This is amazing for trip planning, or for a business tracking office locations or client sites.

Conditional Coloring with Formulas: This is a power-user feature, but I love it. I can now use formulas to set the background color of a row. For instance, my tasks turn bright red if the due date is today and the status isn't 'In Progress,' making those urgent items impossible to miss.

Basically, Notion used to be an incredible toolkit, but you had to build everything yourself. Now, the new AI and integration features feel like they are building things for you, which shifts the focus back to doing the work, not just setting up the workspace.

What do you dislike about the product?

Where Notion Needs a Serious Upgrade
Honestly, for how much I use and love Notion, the complaints boil down to three things. They've fixed a lot of the initial "steep learning curve" stuff with good templates and the AI Agent, but now the issues are more about core performance and missing power features.

1. Performance & The Mobile App (The Lag is Real)
This is the number one complaint. When your workspace gets big—hundreds of pages and complex databases—it starts to feel sluggish.

The Wait: Page load times, especially for complex dashboards with lots of linked databases, can still be painfully slow. It feels like the entire web-app structure is struggling to keep up with the complexity it allows.

Mobile is a Chore: The mobile app, despite improvements, still feels like a slow web-wrapper. Trying to quickly check a to-do list or jot a note on the go often involves a noticeable load time, which defeats the purpose of an "on-the-spot" capture tool.

2. Automation & Database Logic Gaps
They've come so far with the new Formulas and Automations, but there are still glaring holes that make workarounds necessary for power users.

Conditional Relations: I still can't build a simple automation like: "When I complete a task, automatically link it to the 'Weekly Review' page that has the most recent date." The automation logic isn't smart enough to handle conditional linking or complex filtering like Formulas can.

True Recurring Tasks: It's 2025 and setting up a simple recurring task (e.g., "Pay Rent on the 1st of every month") still requires a custom database template, an automation, and a lot of steps. It should be a native checkbox option.

3. Export & Data Ownership
Notion is a great digital brain, but what if you need the data outside of it?

PDF/Print Formatting: Exporting a page to a PDF for printing or sharing often breaks the layout. Complex columns, tables, and images get scrambled. There's no good way to add page breaks or control the formatting.

Proprietary Data: If you ever wanted to leave Notion (god forbid), getting your data out is clunky. You get a mass of HTML, CSV, and markdown files that require a lot of manual cleanup to import into a competitor. It's not a truly open standard like pure markdown would be, which always leaves me with a slight data-lock-in anxiety.

The short version: Notion is amazing at giving you a powerful, flexible canvas. Now, they need to focus on making that canvas load instantly and adding the finishing touches to its automations so you can stop being a workspace architect and just be a productive user.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was using OneNote from Microsoft to record every important information and keep data handy but when I saw the notion. I switched to notion immediately and maintained all my data on the notion.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

yes, I recommend everyone to use notion, it's not just a page full of information but it's a space for everything.

What do you like best about the product?

I like that the free version of Notion allows for plenty of records and the possibility of attachments. The interface is simple to use and I appreciate the mobile interface. I can also share between my computer, phone, tablet, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?

I have nothing to point out. I really like the tool.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Notion for personal organization. It allows many free records, attachments, and is simple to use. I love the mobile interface and the sharing capability between computer, mobile, and tablet.

What do you like best about the product?

Ease of use and set up and permissions can be set to allow for specific access to certain parts of the site.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing really, it works perfect for what our small company needs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy way to share information about our company in an easy to use format.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Give it a shot, it's perfect for communicating info across the org
