Notion is the best software that I discovered so far

  • February 17, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The thing that I like the best about Notion is its possibility of customization. With Notion you can create an habit tracker or a CRM fully adapted to your business. I think it's really awesome for small businesses.
What do you dislike about the product?
I won't say that I dislike it but maybe we should have a starting guide with more advice, especially with databases.
Another thing that could be nice is to lock a filter like when you have a shared tasks list that comes from the same database (make that not everyone could see your tasks).
One more thing could be a roll-up filter (like rollup when XX).
And the last thing, a database view widget for iPhone to show your tasks for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion allows me to centralize all of my company activities and to create a link with the different department. Also as it is fully customizable I can really adapt it to my activity.

Good and responsive documentation platform but very expensive in order to access security features

  • February 17, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to organise, contribute and access documentation in a live manner. In this it is better than platforms such as Google Drive that has similar features but as friendly as Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared with Google Drive, the security visibility and usage auditing of Notion is, unfortunately, remarkably lacking in lower/mid-range packages. To be on par with Google Drive, we would need to use the most expensive of plans on Notion which results in us doing a lot of work in Google instead. Might even be changing company policy to use Google drive instead of Notion because of this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documentation and collaboration of business processes. Notion is currently our primary document repository. We are also using it to share a few pages publicly but moving away from that feature due to security risks.

The Perfect Wiki

  • February 17, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
If you're looking to create a simple clean information-based website, you're not going to find a better solution. Additionally, the support team are extremely responsive should you run into trouble.
What do you dislike about the product?
I confused myself with the access permissions when trying to transfer ownership of a notion page (expecting the permissions to be exactly the same as Google Docs), there's a slight nuance between pages and workspaces which proves problematic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For us, Notion is a public repository which multiple team-members can easily updated. This allows us to present a highly functional website up-to-date.

Excelent tool for gathering information of any type

  • February 16, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Notion allows you to customize as many pages as you want because it's completely modular. That means you can recreate any information structure and expand it as needed. You can link and connect everything in your workspace. Its main strength is the use of databases to have hubs of related information together. I think it's perfect to gather and collect complex information and present it to clients or teams to establish a flow of work.
I use it as my Personal Knowledge Management platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once you have a lot of content in your workspace, it becomes a bit slower when you start it because everything is stored in the cloud. This also means you can't access the information if you are not connected because no local copies are stored, which is the biggest downside.
Also, the use of databases can be a downside because it could lead you to force some things into a specific structure you previously created.
And finally, due to it's impressive search function (one the best I've seen), they claim they can't use ent to end encryption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's been excellent for creating documents summarizing the client's needs for a project. The ability to create internal pages, different highlighting methods, and the links to other platforms (drive, youtube, lucidchart, github) allows you to have a compact page where you only see what you want and need to see. But you can still find any information related to that project, whether it's relevant bibliography, ideas, database with tasks for the project, or links to documents that update live. You can use Notion as a hub for all the information about the project without having to search in every platform individually.

I Really Appreciate Notion!

  • February 16, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I'm using it as a website for our nonprofit and it's SO easy to update and manage with our team. I really appreciate the ease of the platform and the ability to link to tasks and notes from other pages. It's been a great solution for our nonprofit.
What do you dislike about the product?
I appreciate the task management aspects of Notion. However, it lacks the "dashboard" effect that I'm used to with other systems like Asana, Redbooth, etc. I appreciate how everything interlinks, and I understand the value of that. But I prefer the dashboard. So I use Notion for our website and notes, and then use Asana for tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I actually use it as a full website for www.humanspaceprogram.org and it has served us really well. I also use it for notes for our organization, to share concepts and collaborate on ideas.

I love use Notion!

  • February 16, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Notion for everything for 2 years now. I manage my activities, plan my year, do career planning, manage projects and manage to customize practically everything, except the formulas that I still find complex. For me it's an excellent tool and I can't live without it.
What do you dislike about the product?
For sure, the formulas, I still can't use them because I don't always understand them. I also don't miss that database dependencies are not so simple and intuitive as you have to use a menu to find the functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me organize everything I need: my schedule, managing different projects, customizing, using templates, in short, everything. It helps me to have quick and easy information.

All-in-one app

  • February 16, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love using Notion! I use it for both my personal and professional life. Having a lot of applications on my phone both fills the memory and becomes confusing. Notion gives me an all-in-one experience. I prefer to use it as my calender, to do list, tracker, note book, journal and so on. It is very useful to reach all of them in one place, to divide them into categories, to set reminders and creating templates for later. To create a new page, you can add or edit templates created by others, or notion has many tutorial pages on their site, you can get inspiration from them too. It is very easy to reach from my phone and computer as I want. Also, the interface is very simple to use.

I also use it for my small business team, great for opening collaborative pages, assigning tasks, sending notifications and tracking their status. Very useful for tracking work when working with a team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I honestly do not like about Notion is that there are no widgets for Apple Watch and iPhone. They could be very useful and help me use the app more effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my small business team of two, we have to split most of the work, but sometimes the roles get mixed up. Thanks to Notion, we can see all the to-do lists, assign them according to our availability, and track deadlines easily. We can archive completed jobs, tasks or projects and see our current status. We can look at the archive to see how we managed a process before.

It is also a very nice to have both shared and personal pages. We can organize and monitor our personal and business taskst separately in one place.
