Flexible, Easy-to-Use, but Performance Could Improve
What do you like best about the product?
I like Notion because it's very easy to use and helps me keep all my notes, tasks, and documents in one place, which makes accessing them much quicker and easier. It is also quite flexible for personal planning. I also find it easier to scroll through all the documents and search for any specific information, which is very helpful for me and my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Yeah. So it can feel confusing at first and becomes slow if you have too many data or documents in that. So there, I feel that, the improvements can be made because it's a drawback in performance and usability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to keep all my SOPs, notes, tasks, and documents in one place, making it easy to access and manage. It's a very easy-to-use database that streamlines my tasks.
AI Features Shine and Make Work Smarter
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I like best is the artificial intelligence feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how you only need to click once to edit something.
This makes it easy to accidentally edit a page.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized company wide documentation and note taking.
Custom Database Views Make Notion a Powerful Hub for R&D Projects
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Notion is the ability to design specific database views for the work I’m doing. My team has a database that includes a lot of content. When I’m setting up R&D projects, I often create a new “hub” for the project that may include a few brief explanations, but I primarily use filtered views into the team’s database to share information with the R&D team and remove unrelated pages. This way, the broader team can stay aware of what we’re building through the main database, while the R&D team can quickly navigate to only the relevant information.
What do you dislike about the product?
I currently dislike how when I copy a synced block (usually as part of a longer copying operation), that it sometimes does not become a synced block when pasted into another place. This may be an issue with user error, though, because I see that it sometimes works as expected. I am also slightly frustrated by how comments are sometimes displayed in Notion. I have some design documents that receive extensive comments and the location of comments in the right hand sign of the Web Browser UI sometimes pushes comments far away from the original marked up location if there are many comments "nearby".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving the problems of: (1) Sharing technical research progress reports (often involving math formulas), (2) giving and receiving feedback on software design ideas, as well as (3) managing my own time every day at the office with a ranked To-Do list.
Notion: total flexibility to organize everything in one place
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Notion is the flexibility it has. It allows me to organize practically everything in one place: tasks, projects, notes, databases, and even financial planning or goal tracking. It doesn't feel limited to a single function, but I can adapt it exactly to the way I work.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I like least about Notion is that, although it is very powerful, it has a somewhat steep learning curve at the beginning. It can feel overwhelming to understand how to properly structure databases and take advantage of all the advanced features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to databases, Kanban boards, and calendars, I can clearly visualize the progress of my tasks and priorities. This reduces stress and allows me to make more organized decisions.
Intuitive Interface, Exceptional Flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
I love Notion for its pleasant-to-use interface. It's enjoyable to write things on it, even on topics that might cause friction depending on the data format. Also, Notion handles exporting and importing with other tools well, making the experience comfortable. I also appreciate the ability to segment spaces by team with the right level of permission, which facilitates team collaboration. This structuring allows me to manage my personal notes while sharing relevant information with the team. Moreover, the ability to capture information, structure it, and share it easily is a major asset. It makes note-taking and sharing very efficient, which saves time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's often not necessarily easy to integrate this with other tools, to have workflows that really work with other tools. For example, I think of our note-taker being able to properly consume information, it's not always that easy. And maybe that's not, it's more the Notion AI part that actually there's perhaps more of a discoverability issue today, it's something we use little even though there's a good source of richness in Notion that we don't exploit at all via Notion AI because it's too hidden, it's not necessarily easy to imagine the use cases to discover this and the
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to capture, structure, and share information, with team permissions and a personal space. Notion allows you to quickly take readable notes and share them easily, which is a considerable time saver.
Complex Setup, Powerful Features
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Notion is connected to my cloud through Anthropic and links with my ChatGPT, allowing these tools to either access information from Notion or write directly to it. This integration with AI tools is super helpful. It's like a better version of OneNote for me, with its database functions that store and organize things into pages in a superior way. The AI inside Notion is great for organizing a page although it requires a bit of a script to avoid issues like creating duplicates or deleting important items. Despite the learning curve, these AI features and connections to other AI tools are really valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm frustrated because the transcribe feature for meetings doesn't work on my Android phone, and I've missed two meetings by trying to record on my phone instead of my computer. It shows that it's recording but then transcribes and records nothing, which is utterly frustrating, especially during client meetings. The setup of Notion was quite difficult and not intuitive unless you're technical. It's not easy to set up for someone not technical, and I think that's the biggest barrier. It feels like giving someone a blank document to code on, and if you don't have the technical expertise, you just have no idea what to do with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion gives me a structured place to store my decisions, frameworks, skills, and content ideas, aiding in creating content like articles. I use it for note-taking in client meetings, sharing seminar information, and operating a separate business.
Structured and Essential for Workflow Management
What do you like best about the product?
What I love about Notion is that everything is arranged as you decide. You can organize it based on positions or roles, and then whenever you go into your role or position, you're gonna find all of the detailed information. It's really well structured.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it'd be a bit more intuitive. Sometimes, it can be kind of hard to find something. So you have to really look or search for the keywords. But I think that other than that, it works pretty well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to store all my job-related processes, one-pagers, and handbooks. It's my go-to for finding instructions and information when my manager isn't available. It serves as an intranet where everything I need is well organized and easily accessible.
Time-Saving Templates, Powerful Publish-to-Web, and Truly Helpful AI
What do you like best about the product?
Huge fan of the templates, they save so much time. Centralizing all our docs is great, but the "publish to web" feature is the real MVP for sharing specific pages externally. Also, the AI is actually useful for cleaning up messy notes or provide a really starting point for any document.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Jira integration is a bit of a letdown. It feels like they're trying to replace Jira entirely rather than just playing nice with it. It’s simply not robust enough to handle complex dev ticketing, so it ends up feeling clunky rather than helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It mostly solves the fragmentation chaos. Before, my PRDs were in GDocs, tickets in Jira, and random thoughts in Slack or Apple Notes. Notion centralizes everything so I have a single "brain" for the product. It stops me from wasting time hunting down that one spec sheet I wrote three weeks ago.
It also solves the friction of sharing. Instead of exporting PDFs or managing complex permissions for external stakeholders, I just flip a switch to make a roadmap or changelog public. It treats a document like a mini-website, which is huge for quick alignment.
Plus, the templates and AI cure "blank page syndrome".

Simple UI with Tackling Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I like Notion for its simple to use interface and the ability to link pages. It's also very easy to set up, which I find convenient for my team goals and strategy, as well as for taking notes during team meetings.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it difficult to make and edit tables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for team goals and strategy. It helps with repository and notes follow-ups.
Flexible, All-in-One Organization Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion for work to create documents for reference and update SOPs. It helps me organize notes and projects effectively. I love how flexible it is, allowing me to have everything like notes, documents, and projects in one place. The interface is clean, and the drag-and-drop feature makes it easy to format.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it can be overwhelming to set it up properly. More step-by-step guides or recommended layouts based on goals would help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me organize notes and projects, providing everything—notes, documents, projects—in one place for work. I use it for creating documents, updating SOPs, and it offers flexibility. The clean interface and easy drag-and-drop formatting make setup good.
