Greater with Notion!

  • September 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have enjoyed very much to be able to customize the features to fit my needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I still find it difficult to understand the logic behind the databases. I understood you can have a master and then link this to other pages but I still encounter problems when I do this.
Not related but I dislike the error uploading the screenshot on this review.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management however the scale of it becomes so much easier when you can have everything in one place. I find this ideal not just for business purposes and teams communicating better but for personal project too.

Amazing !!!

What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful for me is that I can organize my whole contest preparation with an only tool ! It helps me getting focused, with deadlines and goal of achievement !
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe the only downsides would be the lack of easy change about writing, center text, justify, as a text app would provide. It's a bit complicated at first, but when you get the Notion power, you get addicted !
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My calendar is way more easy to understand and use ! My lessons are sorted and it's a joy to connect all lessons and materials to have a fluid and exhaustive ressource to learn.

Best Free Note Taking App for students

  • September 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1. Toggle list. Writing something in toggle list enables me to take detailed notes on some sub-topics, and hiding them in the toggle list will help us see the whole picture.
2. Sync Block. When managing projects/notes on different Notion pages, the sync block keeps you away from doing the same thing twice.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion's integration with latex is not good; it can't trigger the inline equation by "$" but "$$", and it deletes "_" when I copy the latex code from Mathpix. If I want to copy some sentences with an inline math equation from a textbook or slides in a latex form, I have to manually choose the equation code with "$" around to turn it into an inline math equation and sometimes add the missing "_" to the code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I like taking structured notes with inline math, Notion makes it possible.
Notion helped me establish my workflow, and keep track of projects I was working on.

I found my own customizable and practical library and notepad when I found Notion.

What do you like best about the product?
I love how you can do a lot of databases and formats in Notion. It is really the fluidity that captured my attention and of course, the integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not too much customizable. I wish I could have a whiteboard where I can put all ideas like a regular scratch board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Putting all operating procedures and references in one place. This way I can easily onboard new team members.

It can be a basic function to write a minute simultaneously. However, it's convenientin detail.
What do you dislike about the product?
Desktop app for Windows is not perfect. Sometimes the ratio or icons are not shown correctly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coworking with other UX researchers. And functions related to the access rights are so important to me.

No-code Database is powerful!

  • September 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to write markdowns, the ability to collaboratively edit in real time, and many other excellent features, but the ability to create and manage databases with no code is wonderful. You can use the database for various purposes such as task management, project management, Kanban, movie impressions of your hobbies, photos of fish you caught, etc.
Another exciting point is that you can set icons and cover photos for each page.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although security aspects have been enhanced recently, at one time there were no features such as operation logs or allowing partial publication of web pages. This has now been improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to use a collaboration tool, but it was only a text-based information sharing tool, and by switching to Notion, we can utilize the database and no longer need to use other services to manage each team's tasks and progress.

Best personal note app with superb functionalities and collaboration features

  • September 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Best of the best is the super flexible embedding capabilities that makes note organisation and referencing easy, thus it is great to put things into structures anywhere within the documents so you dont have to go back to find and add by copy and paste.
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing particular, but to make the best out of the tool you need to be willing to learn a little bit at the beginning so you can free yourself afterwards by leveraging the shortcuts, the drag and drop, the tables and the filters, after all, they are all still very basic and intuitive ones.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Information clipping and organisation in a more flexible way for personal and business users or a mix, saving me time to jump between excel and doc for cut and paste in google and able to use and display anything anywhere within the documents.

Great tool for documentation

  • September 06, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The customizability of documentation, and the ability to nest and link pages to each other.
Simultaneously editing makes it easy to collaborate with other team members remotely.
What do you dislike about the product?
When Guests who own pages on notion leave the workspace, pages become inaccessible to members.
Sharing pages with guests after recent updates may accidentally add them as members of the workspace due to the UI changes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are keeping documentation up to date and adding interactive elements to keep members engaged while reading lengthy documents.
Keeps our documentation organized instead of a folder of word docs.

Great tool for internal documentation

  • September 06, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There's a lot to like about Notion compared to most wikis I've dealt with:
* Great typography
* Easy to understand the version history
* Block formatting
* Solid media handling (especially like the SVG support)
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest pet peeve: You can easily nest pages inside each other, creating self-explanatory hierarchies, but there's no way to have it expand the sidebar to show where your current location.

I don't fully understand their data model, and sometimes it seems you need to. For example, you'll find you cannot delete a column from a table. I guess the tables are implemented as a database, and it picked that field as the primary identifer which you cannot delete. So you have to swap things around to get your actual identifer in that column and then delete the other column.

I wish they had a clear pattern for user-specific pages. For example, I can create a private page and manually add people to it, but it would be nice if each user had a page by default and could create children for specific topics.

There's some kind of glitchy behavior around the auto conversion from Markdown, especially if you paste in sections with code formatting. It tries to turn code blocks into inline code and makes a bit of mess.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses it for almost all of our architecture and planning docs. We can easily include screen shots, videos and architectural diagrams. The commenting features make it easy to discuss specific bits.
