Notion functionality
What do you like best about the product?
I'm Brazilian. Here, Notion helped our team as the best platform for sharing goals and simultaneously tracking results. It has applicability in all sectors of our team. I recommend it to everyone who needs a good platform for sharing information, goals, results.
What do you dislike about the product?
In Brazil it is still not widespread because there is no option in Portuguese.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing metric results with team. Better team communication.
I'm not an active promoter but Notion is a really worthwhile app
What do you like best about the product?
It's a MS Word on steroids. I can use Notion to create fancy pages for others to read: instructions, post mortems, rules, plans, lessons, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it messes up with Grammarly or other text browser extensions.
It also didn't work as a project management tool for our team. We use the Linear instead.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Notion, content creation became insanely fast. I use it for instructions for other people: team members or students.
It's the easiest way to focus on what matters
What do you like best about the product?
Thanks to the power of its databases, Notion allows me to quickly find any information, even if it's from a long time ago. This gives me peace of mind and allows me to move forward in other areas of my work without stress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Databases are currently very powerful, and having so many options can be overwhelming. It would be good if they could be simplified a bit without losing power and customization capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion saves my time when i need to search any important document of my company, also search personals documents, help me to organize my projects.
Also help me to manage inventory of products, manage important payments of services and be creative, increase the speed when writing my ideas.

Great
What do you like best about the product?
I can manage all things I need for work and for my personal life. We have almost all our company data in notion, for example, managing all tasks, backlogs, data about products, and customer support data (we collect it there, because then it goes in backlog).
What do you dislike about the product?
It usually falls down if I have opened a few pages of notion in the browser (chrome). For example, I need to plan tasks for a week for developers, and in one page, I open weekly planning, and on another kanban desk to orientate. And then one of them is freezing, and nothing helps.
Also, it became not handy to create kanban desks for four and more columns, I need to open settings and properties, and then I don't even remember, I have to open the answer video from your support.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything for my team in one place. Don't need to switch to different places to work. And it's easy to use. Don't need to pay for many services either. And also I can see everuthing my team does, because all pages are opened for everyone. Everybody knows everything what's going on
My Favorite Project Management Tool To Date!
What do you like best about the product?
I've been looking for a great solution to manage a $259k SBIR Phase I Grant we received this past June (2022), and I look at other products, but they didn't meet my needs. I luckily stumbled across Notion, and it's perfect for my needs. As a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) since 2004, I've managed numerous projects, from small projects to multi-million dollar IT projects for Newport News Shipbuilding. One of the biggest challenges is communication amongst the project team, and another is configuration management. Notion helped me solve both of those, easily.
It's very easy to use - when I first found it, I initially looked at consultants on Fiverr to help set it up. But I didn't go that route because as I started using it, I realized how simple it is. I even found a few YouTube videos that helped as well.
I'm actually presenting what I've done with Notion to my government program manager this week, to show him that we're managing a project in a new and different way than he's ever seen. Anxious to hear what he says.
I also LOVE that Notion offers help for startups, and doubles the offer for those who have participated in one of their recognized accelerator programs. My startup received a $1,000 credit through that, which has been extremely helpful!

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much - I have been able to do so much with it. That said, there are a few minor things.
1. I hate to see Notion send out emails telling people how to manage a book club, manage recipes (I use Paprika for that – it’s a great app and better suited for this function. Why? Because it auto loads website URLS that have recipes, and downloads the recipe, separating the ingredients list, directions, photos, etc. – Notion can’t do any of that) and so on when it can do so much more. I have seen similar issues with other apps that try to do the same thing, tell you how to use a PM app to manage your life, when most people don’t really need that.
2. I'd like to have a better way to have team members that can participate in the project, and be assigned to parts of it, but without giving them the ability to do anything inside it so that I can get everyone involved without having to pay a license for everyone. I already have 12, and I have 3 people that I would like to add for this.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As previously mentioned, a Project Manager's role is 90% communication. Notion not only enables a much better experience for that (even asynchronously), it also enables storytelling, which makes it much more memorable for the project team.
Like building things? Stickler for customisation? Notion is THE app for you
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is incredibly useful for building custom workflows and databases - whether you are a student, business owner, project manager, or lifelong learner, and whether you have any coding knowledge or not!
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion can be difficult to learn at first as there are so many features and database views to try out. However, starting out with templates can be a fantastic way to learn about the platform and figure out what works for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a student and researcher, I often have to manage multiple, complicated tasks that relate to one another or have to do with large amounts of data. Notion's relational databases make it easy to connect related databases and build efficient workflows. Additionally, project management features like the Calendar and Kanban views make it easy to see what needs to be done at a glance.
Using Notion increased our productivity!
What do you like best about the product?
It's super easy to keep things tidy and clear for everyone. And the templates are amazingly well-built for their purpose.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that comes to mind. We've been using it for almost two months now, but enough to assess whether it works or not. And it does work well for our team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us to be organised and efficient. The user interface is also a plus, as it is simple and visually a pleasure to look at.
Makes sharing documents and ideas very easy
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is the ease of sharing documents and getting a doc in shape with minimal effort. Since, I am a coder and the people that I share documents with are also coders, working with Notion feels very intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the way tables works in Notion. They look very nice and easy to use to but at the same time it feels like being stuck inside a walled garden. The tables are not flexible if you want to use them for some specific tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I did not like Google Docs and Word because there is a significant overhead associated with creating a new document and then formatting and everything. Notion provides very limited number of options in terms of formatting and the UI is overall nice so it's much easy to share your ideas with other people.
Strong Product Management/Intranet Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is powerful, easy to use once you learn the / system, and can accomplish most tasks you might want to use it for
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion could use more call outs in the platform to educate people on how to use the different features. Note taking could be cleaner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps our team keep documents & Projects organized - it helps us by providing a simple, searchable system to hold important information.
Amazing, sleek and modern
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a platform I find personally amazing — it significantly helps me at work and it also helps my company. I use notion for thinks like job boards and OKRs while personally using it to track tasks, todos and use notes. It's sleek and easy to use, taking up not much space on my PC too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything about notion. It's amazing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving problems such as losing paper notes, portable notes on my phone and more.
