What do you like best about the product?

The ability to drop in notes about anything in any format quickly, then easily go back and organize. Plus the shared nature of Notion leads to easier shared knowledge around the organization.

What do you dislike about the product?

It can get pretty busy in there, so you have to make time to organize. Plus waiting for more and more sync'd blocks, which will make a big difference when working across multiple apps.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shared organizational knowledge is the biggest. Having team members keep track of the different specific processes they do in their roles makes it much easier to accomplish my goals without having to constantly ask questions.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is simple, lightweight and extremely flexible.

What do you dislike about the product?

Not a fan of the mobile experience. It's a bit clunky and unintuitive.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion helps me document both on a personal and professional level. It has helped me build a documentation culture.

What do you like best about the product?

The customization opportunities are the most appealing feature of Notion.

What do you dislike about the product?

The "blank canvas" that provides customization opportunities also comes with the chance to overcomplicate pages - but that is a user error, not a fault of Notion.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion is the tool I used to take notes, manage projects, and create playbooks for our teams.

What do you like best about the product?

I like best, that you can customize everything. Especially the databases are awesome. Also, their customer service is really great.

What do you dislike about the product?

I dislike how slow the mobile app is. That actually reduces how much I use Notion when not working.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the issue of where to store information related to tasks or projects, as I can simply link and store them in notion with the tasks.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is easy to get started and is seriously well documented, so for the most part you can usually find what you need to know on Youtube or other tutorials. It's easier to link databases together than you would think and there are some good templates out there.

What do you dislike about the product?

It's not so much the functionality, but to get the best out of Notion you really do need to understand the basics of databases. I'm not really a database expert so I often have to look things up.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a small business owner and consultant I find most of the 'off the peg' systems are too feature rich and complicated for my requirements. I'm using Notion to fulfill a lot of the functions that I'd spread over multiple tools like timesheets, CRM and project management all within one environment.

What do you like best about the product?

I am a former programmer. Now in the startup COO and Co-Founder position, we needed some business "ERP" that would suit our needs. Well, here it is - you can connect and reference any data anywhere and never waste energy with searching and duplicates.

What do you dislike about the product?

As Notion is powerful to customize, this can also be a productivity issue. You have to be aware, if your are building a sustainable workspace that is bulletproof.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Handling with business data and tasks.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is an extremely powerful piece of software. The customization options are almost endless and it can be modified to fit your exact need.

What do you dislike about the product?

The flip side is that creating a process in Notion can feel complex. You really have to have your objective and intentions well thought out before beginning to build in Notion.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We utilize Notion as a CRM and project management software.

What do you like best about the product?

The fact that it is so incredibly easy for people to use, but I can create powerful features in databases like relations.

What do you dislike about the product?

I wish Notion had better support for embedded pdf documents and potentially supported recurring reminders.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion is incredibly useful when tracking multiple complex projects with different deadlines.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is very easy to use and very flexible in layout. You can put all your notes, ideas, and tasks to Notion and get organised. You can also share your Notion content with your family members and colleagues easily.

What do you dislike about the product?

It takes too much time to open Notion, you cannot take quick notes to it. There is no Chinese version and some of my Chinese colleagues find it difficult to use, especially when it comes to databases.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me to organise my work and manage our team projects. It really saves a lot of time from sending emails and making changes to various documents, also it helps a lot in collecting information and making notes for a small team.

What do you like best about the product?

A colleague turned me on to trying out Notion, and from that very seedling of a first page I edited, I've used Notion extensively and continued to bloom with it — even written the equivalent of a few novels in it. It's compiled features I've used in other tools, and made them a lot more elegant and streamlined.

Historically, I'd often get frustrated with how Google Docs, Zendesk, and others mangled my formatting, with unpleasant errors galore. By copypasting the same stuff into Notion, I could essentially clean up that detritus. And there's NO separate "publish" step, a page has live-editing! (You can always do a "staging/test" on a separate page, if need be.) Plus, making pages public or targeting shares is super-easy.

My business uses of Notion include project management for task tracking (via card columns), comprehensive user documentation (and the process of translating it from internal ➜ external consumption), and presenting ideas. On the home front, my wife and I also used it to write and edit our wedding vows, record proof of stuff needing repair, and so on. In short, there were times I was getting involved with another tool, then went — "Why, Notion can already do that! Just use Notion!" And one of my favorite uses of Notion is keeping track of my musical productions, serializing them with annotations, so I'm clear on what's almost done, what needs to be delivered, and what I might just be mucking around with.

I get excited at new Notion features adding value (tip: stay tuned to https://www.notion.so/releases !) and not overcomplicating the mix. I've seen other tools where the balance tipped a certain way and obfuscation got in the way of a good thing. So its growth trajectory over the years has been promising.

I like how I can drag audio files directly into Notion. I'm disappointed at what other tools (like Nuclino and Miro) to date still don't support us sound citizens.

The use of emojis, colors, and visual elements makes pages a lot more colorful and memorable — and dare I say, even fun!

Overall and importantly, Notion makes it easy for different departments to get involved, including team members that consider themselves "non-technical". It hasn't raised hackles like other tools with a jagged learning curve that are "unintuitive".

The backup feature is reassuring, something you don't think about going in, but you'll need it down the line if your data is even remotely precious to you.

Support has usually been quite helpful to me, and my many questions across time. Sometimes they'll overcomplicate matters by asking for unnecessary info on a small obvious thing... but I know it's just because they want to learn more. Better to err on the side of overcommunication, right? :D

What do you dislike about the product?

I wish we could add more custom styling — not going crazy, but custom colors with exact RGB values for text and solid background colors would make a big difference with matching branding. I know there are 3rd-party tools that aim to address these needs and things like custom domain names, but having it integrated seems really fundamental.

Also, when I last checked, there wasn't a way to see original code used for IFRAMES, which seems terribly clunky, since it means I have to store that code somewhere else (like in a separate Notion page), or risk it being obfuscated. This matters for anyone using embeds like Bandcamp and SoundCloud widgets with custom parameters.

But on the whole, Notion has been awesome!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

See the "What do you like best?" section above, where I address that. To summarize, even though I've used it for many things (just about all the main advertised use cases!): at present, Notion helps me organize and retrieve loose pieces of data in an approachable and neat way, like turning various Slack messages into a fully-formed help article, and keeping my projects moving forward.
