There's nothing else like it
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has a unique approach to note-taking, striking a perfect balance between depth and ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the simplicity of Notion holds you back when you need that extra inch of customization, for instance changing the font on a block of text.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Databases tend to be very inflexible in their structure. Notion adds that flexibility without adding complexity.
Notion Whiz and Process Queen
What do you like best about the product?
The upsides on using Notion is the ability to connect with teams/people - create a useful workspace and share information freely. I have a huge preference for Notion because it's highly customizable and feasible to create different pages and boards to share timelines and information.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish notifications had more robustness to it. If there were people tags in specific properties and any changes made to a ticket would notify the user it would be more preferred. Notifications in of itself is good, but there can be more functionality around this which would help work processes in our teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping us solve our processes for both product and project management. It's helping us organize our work for our distributed teams as our company is remote. I can easily track the work that is being completed with the new changes with Parent and Sub tasks as well as linking dependencies.
A great place to store and share most things in a company
What do you like best about the product?
Love the keyboard shortcuts. Once you get used to using Notion, it's lightning-fast to use compared to Google Docs.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would love to use Notion to replace Asana. You definitely can. But if you are frequently assigning tasks, Asana can be easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is a win for our whole team when it comes to SOP's. It's super simple to keep our SOP's updated and really fast to find things. The Notion Databases are also helping us to organize things such as props/wardrobe/contractors/equipment lists, etc.
Changed the way I manage my life
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility. It allows me to create whatever view I want - I particularly value the tables.
The ease of use. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once you learn how to use it it's super simple.
The community. The notion community is growing so fast meaning that there is a template for almost anything!

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the tables had more features. I have essentially replaced excel for most functions, but still some things are missing. Like for example I haven't found good ways to make nice graphs. I would also LOVE it if there's a better way to manage the calendar. It's currently a bit chunky.
I also know that there's a million different integrations but I'm not sure how to use them and it requires looking into specific options. It would be great if you could share tailored recommendations.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1 - centralizing information. I use notion for my own personal organizations, in addition to managing projects.
2 - note taking. What an incredibly powerful note taker! So simple to use when other note taking apps are just old school.
3 - database management. The ease of use of tables is so straightforward. The alternative used to me spreadsheets or documents and instead this is just a beautiful combination

I love using Notion as our main project management and knowledge hub with my team
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you can connect everything together and link tasks with different teams in each dashboard. This makes it easy for each department to have its own space but management can have a bird-eye view of everything in their own space.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love all the new updates come out but as the tool gets more complicated it gets harder to onboard new people and get them to the same level of usage/knowledge as the rest of the team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Notion, we were using the G-suite Sheets heavily but there was no way to set reminders and filter the data easily. Notion streamlines this process and lets us connect each database to eachother.
Your Internal Dashboard, Planner, Tracker, and Digital Company Productivity board
What do you like best about the product?
As a startup with a newly formed team, I had to find the right platform to get operationalized and migrate all knowledge and processes out of my head and into a system to create an intranet, place for collaboration, and manage projects and productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
it takes time to effectively build a workspace. I've had to put in a lot of effort and utilize a lot of templates to design the workspace for my organization. I would also like to see integration from Google and Microsoft, so it can interpret meetings, docs, etc, now that there is an AI component

Notion changed my life
What do you like best about the product?
It's the best personal organization tool there is. No competition gets close. It's neat, simple to start using, yet complete in features.
I like how everything can be connected, searched for, mentioned etc. The hierarchy structure is awesome too. One of the latest features I liked the most was the sub-item and parent-item in databases.

What do you dislike about the product?
1) Slow to load. It's getting better, but I'm used to faster apps on Windows and Android.
2) No offline access: there's no way to choose pages to keep offline on your phone. It's also getting better, but many apps already allow offline editing, saving, etc.
3) No automations. The first automation came very recently, with the recurring templates. But some IFs and THENs would be a great addition to the databases. In Trello that is very easy to do. ClickUp has been showing off that feature on their ads too. I think it's time for Notion to catch up with the features of its competitors.
4) Sometimes I experience bugs when writing fast on Android. I think Notion tries to sync everything in real time and then I experience some lagging issues. The last words disappear for no reason.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for everything in my life. Everything is there. Personal projects, notes, references, task list, documentation, catalogs...
It has solved every organization problem I had. Now I put all my notes in Notion and can easily find them. I can mention them in other pages, structure them in a database etc.
Every planning I have to do I do in Notion too.
Sometimes I need to use Google Sheets and Forms too, so I embed them in Notion, so I don't have to leave the platform at all.

Close to perfect intranet solution
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a tool that is easy to use to everyone. From experienced tech geeks to "normal" people who just want they software to work. Great and flexible tool to build almost everything you need. From knowledge base to task tracker. You can manage your product hypotheses, development tasks, customer relations log and many-many more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion is a great tool to access static information, but it still very hard to follow updates and discuss pieces of data inside Notion. We still use Basecamp for check-ins and Slack for discussing our work. We know that greatness is achieved step by step, but many people in our team hope that updates feed and better comments are next growth points for Notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Notion for almost everything. Business unit documentation, team updates, task management, employee database.
Notion are so much better than other tools we tried (including Atlassian Confluence). Not perfect. We still have to use other collaboration tools together with Notion. But it is definitely the central hub for our activities.

I believe Notion is a very effective project management tool for my small business
What do you like best about the product?
I like its look and feel. I love the use of unlimited databases and the ability to link them. I like the use of color and the ability to make pages look attractive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Definitely that it lacks a proper recurring task feature. The recurring template feature - a recent addition - falls very short of what I would expect from the most basic program. This is the only reason I can't give Notion a 10.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run a client-based business - each client represents a project and each project has multiple tasks - but not necessarily the same tasks - that need to be performed in order. I find Notion databases to be an excellent method of keeping track of each stage, as well as being flexible enough to handle curveballs. I also love that I can connect project and actions databases as well as clients and client files - I use the status property religiously to track what I have to do tomorrow, this week, this month etc. I also have a separate area where I keep track of all my finances, taxes etc. and another where I keep track of workflows and can capture notes on anything new that crosses my path but I don't have time to process at the moment.
Unrivalled all-in-one productivity platform for anyone
What do you like best about the product?
It makes creating, viewing and collaborating on content and tasks easy. It's like multiple platforms boiled into one, with a very generous free plan.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's so much you can do that it could become addictive and distract you from getting work done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work with several clients and use Notion as a knowledge hub and task planner. This helps me and my team act and respond fast, as nothing gets lost in email or Slack.
