Great for Organization, Challenging Setup
What do you like best about the product?
As a ghostwriter, I like that Notion is easy to use. It helps me organize my thoughts and allows me to write as multiple agencies, which is really important for me. I use it to organize my emails, my website, and my ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating a comprehensive base structure for my overall Notion documents was difficult. There's a learning curve, and I often didn't know what I was doing. There's a lot I don't know, and many features that I haven't fully grasped yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me organize my thoughts and ideas, Notion also allowsme to work with a team.
Centralized and Customizable, But Setup Can Be Complex
What do you like best about the product?
I like Notion for its centralization of information and the flexibility of the platform to adapt it to anything I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because of its powerful flexibility, it also makes Notion rather complex to set up in an optimal way. It would be great if there were more quick-start ways for setting up different use cases. While templates are available, they're often overengineered and come from third-party sources. Setting up the databases is very complex.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion keeps all my information in one place, allowing me to chat with full context of my projects in a central location.
Flexible Tool with Stellar AI Assistance
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how flexible Notion is and love the AI assistant for helping with summarizing and organizing my ideas. The flexibility allows me to create online 'books' or collections of notes, which helps me organize my thoughts and big ideas. The summarizing feature of the AI assistant is also something I really like, as it often helps me summarize long documents for quick reference in the future. The initial setup was super easy, and I enjoyed learning the functionality by using examples from others to build my ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes some of the word processing features in Notion feel a bit clunky. I want it to work like Google Docs or Word. For example, I really wanted to be able to merge columns on a table, but found that wasn't a function.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to organize my notes for work and Spanish learning. It helps with organization and summarizing articles and notes, making it easy to refer back to them.
Notion Supercharged My Lead Generation Workflow and Bidding Efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to streamline workflows in Notion. I attended the Make with Notion conference this year in San Francisco and the demos opened my eyes to everything Notion is actually capable of. The AI features have drastically improved my business operations and given me back so much time to build custom software for my clients. Workload management has become a breeze with the tools I have built using Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much comes to mind, but the one limiting feature I would say is the ability to reference data between databases is complicated. I understand how to utilize relations and rollups, but there's a part of me that wishes Notion had some kind of spreadsheet functionality (cell references, etc) AS AN OPTION for building some specific tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion has streamlined and automated my lead generation process for my consulting business. I have built a workflow where I can analyze job listings that are automatically ingested into Notion database, Notion AI assistant will analyze the description and give the job a grade based on my custom instructions, then assign a "Apply", "Maybe", or "Skip" status. This saves me so much time and allows me to spend less time reading through listings and more time crafting bids. I also use the AI writing assistant to generate the templates of proposals for me to specific jobs, which also saves me tons of time. Overall it has been a great experience and become a process that my business can't live without.
The Backbone of Our GTM and AI-Native System
What do you like best about the product?
Notion finally gives us one place to think, plan, and actually get work done. It’s flexible enough to handle strategy documents, project workflows, meeting notes, GTM plans, basically everything we’d normally scatter across five different tools.
The biggest upside is how easily you can shape it around how your team actually works. Databases, linked views, templates, they let you build the exact system you need instead of forcing you into someone else’s structure. Once it clicks, it becomes the home base for the whole organisation.
It genuinely reduces noise. People stop asking “Where does this live?” because the answer is always in Notion.

What do you dislike about the product?
Notion’s superpower is its flexibility, but this is also the thing that trips people up the most. If you don’t put real structure behind it, it becomes messy fast: duplicate pages, random wikis, and everyone building their own version of the truth.
Large databases can get slow, permissions can be fiddly as the team grows, and someone does need to take ownership or it turns into a digital junk drawer. The mobile app also isn’t great for anything beyond quick checks.
None of this is a dealbreaker, but Notion isn’t a magic fix. It works brilliantly if you treat it like a system. If you don’t, it just becomes another place for clutter.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion has basically replaced a scattered mess of docs, slides, spreadsheets, Slack threads, and half-finished wikis. Before, every team had their own version of the truth and no one could find anything. Now we’ve got one central place for strategy, processes, GTM plans, meeting notes, onboarding, content, and documentation.
The big benefit is clarity. Everyone knows where things live, what’s up to date, and how work connects. Projects move faster, onboarding is easier, and cross-functional work stops breaking because people are finally working from the same system.
It also makes us far more organised around execution. Notion forces us to define workflows properly instead of hacking things together across random tools. For an AI-native setup, it’s become the backbone, our context, processes, and knowledge all sit there, which makes automation and alignment actually possible.

Best note app ever, good sync and integration, a lot of customization features
What do you dislike about the product?
The API and MCP can further improve, sometimes hard to achieve good automation using API, missing functions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m able to build fully automated bill tracker using notion, integrated gemini with gmail. However it took me a while to figure out how to successfully log everything through notion API

Quick and Effective for Structuring Ideas

Empowers Campaign Hubs with Seamless AI Assistance
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion to build hubs for our campaigns, and it makes it easier for my ambassadors to access campaign assets. I really like the AI assistant, as it actually helps me build! The initial setup was very simple, which is a big plus for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find exporting and sharing in Notion could be improved. I would love if it could be a one-step process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Highly Customizable, But Steep Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I like Notion because I can really customize it and do a lot of different things. I appreciate that it's not like a preset tool that I can only use in one way. It's very flexible, and I enjoy creating pages, blocks, charts, and graphs—even though there's a bit of a learning curve. It's great for keeping everything in one spot, so I don't have to bounce around different apps. The initial setup was very easy, which was nice since I was using an older account that I just went back to. I really like how Notion allows me to learn new ways to use it and tailor it to exactly what I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the biggest thing is it does have a pretty steep learning curve to be able to really maximize it. Unfortunately, I couldn't tie it into my Outlook.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to solve organization issues, keeping everything in one spot so I don't have to switch between different apps.
