Best Business Tool !!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Notion is how flexible it is, letting me organize everything in one place, whether that’s class notes, assignments, or club projects, and customize it so it works exactly how I need. And I use it every day to keep track of my schedule and tasks. Even though the customer service is good, when I had issues, they helped me quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Notion is that it can be slow and overwhelming at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving the problem of having my notes, assignments, schedules, and club projects scattered across different apps by putting everything in one place, which saves me time, keeps me organized, and makes it easier to stay on top of my responsibilities.
The best knowledge management / knowledge search I've used.
What do you like best about the product?
During my company's onboarding, I was able to easily navigate and find all the answers I need. It doesn't overload you with too many features, instead it keeps things simple and easy to navigate. I use it frequently as a way to revisit our knowledge base and use their enterprise search feature to find exactly what I need to be effective and not have to distract someone else from what they are doing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Quite literally can't think of anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal training and knowledge share. The guides are where I need them, and the organization is simple. And when I can't think of what to search for, the AI bots are there to help me think.

Sometimes when running the app, it can slow down other functions on your operating system

Its a better way to store information, track projects and memorialize important information compared to G-suite
Easier for the work place
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has made it significantly easier to find information needed quickly! I love how it quickly takes me to relevant pages, posts, and links that I need so I no longer need to search through slack posts from my organization and multiple websites to find what I need! Having one go-to place for everything has been a game changer!
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly haven't come across any downsides yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Housing all information in one easy to use place
Perfect Productivity Tool for anything
What do you like best about the product?
The simple but effective features it come with is just awesome! like note taking or project tracking is made more easier and to build a dashboard completely based on my needs just makes it the best productivity app!
What do you dislike about the product?
May be more simple UI & better dashboard with more options to customise would make it even better,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to organize my work track my projects & productivity time daily. collaboartion is also a great feature replacing complex tools like Slack.
The best second brain and workspace
What do you like best about the product?
I love Notion for sorting information, Its great for business and my MBA studies. Team mates can easiy have access and the new AI options are awesome. It can make full templates out of prompts, add to data to charts and tables. It saves a lot of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
A small issue when lots of text is on one page. It gets very slow. But that doesn't happen often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem it solves is it puts everything in one place. Prior to that I used google docs and it was very messy and I lost data.
After moving to it from OneNote and having used Confluence in the past, Notion is by far the best

A very useful tool for overall management.
What do you like best about the product?
Perhaps the most appealing aspect is the wide variety of tools it offers. I started using Notion to write drafts for the books I was working on, but then I realized its versatility and started using it to manage my finances, keep notes/records of my university lectures, and maintain a personal record of what happens during my week, kind of like a journal.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I don't like is how many of the useful features are behind a paywall. After using the Plus plan for several months, I discovered the benefits of the education plan, so I switched to that using my university email address. Along with that change, I decided to add Notion AI to complement the education plan. However, when I tried to use features like AI meeting notes, they were limited because I'm on the education plan, which would require me to pay $24 per month instead of being able to access it through the Notion AI add-on. It's a bit disappointing, since it's a feature that would be very useful for my work. I could name other features, such as limited number of charts or elements to use in your page, but the one that disappointed me the most, was in regards to meeting notes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well, more than solving problems, I think it just optimizes the process behind the tasks I work on every day. It made it easier to track where my money goes, how to budget, and overall have a simpler experience when working with my finances. Same goes for note taking. It was a mess having documents over several folders for my class notes in my computer, and now everything is under a dropdown menu in one of my Notion pages.
Consistently useful AI writing capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is my organization's source of truth for a broad range of information, including competitive intelligence, messaging guidelines, marketing and sales collateral, and approved customer quotes.
I love that Notion helps us centralize information, and I love even more that we're able to combine that source of truth with Notion's AI writing capabilities. That combination is incredibly powerful when it comes to summarizing research and drafting content that's actually grounded in our previous work.
For example, we direct our sales team to use the "ask Notion AI" feature to get fast answers drawn from our own competitive research database. That means we can focus on adding competitive data and insights vs taking the time to summarize our research into short talking points for each vendor.
Our marketing team frequently uses Notion to derive new content from the messaging guides and assets we've already created and reviewed, especially short supporting content such as emails and social posts to promote the original work. The "improve writing" and "make shorter" options are also great shortcuts to help accelerate writing work.
I'm also a big fan of Notion databases in general! I use them all day, every day.

What do you dislike about the product?
FWIW, my answer here is long because I love the product and use it so heavily! With that in mind, these are all things I think could be more powerful.
One downside of Notion AI is that search results have declined in quality a bit, as is the case with a lot of AI-powered search these days. I expect this to improve again over time as the team continues to make improvements.
Very long or detailed pages can also start to lag, especially shared pages with lots of tables. I've had issues working with long documents in general - for example, let's say I want to use call transcripts to draft a case study. The good news is that Notion AI can do a great job of cleaning up a transcript for readability or even generating an initial case study draft. The bad news is that if the transcript doc is too long, I may not be able to paste all of it into one Notion page, and even if I'm able to upload it, Notion AI may not be able to process the entire document. To work around this, I typically sanitize transcripts in Google docs first and paste each call transcript into an individual Notion page.
Notion databases are already pretty powerful, but there's so much potential for small improvements that would add real business value. For example, wowww would we be able to get value out of improvements in database visualizations. Even just the ability to display a data base field's title within the card view alongside the field's content would help us get closer to turning our competitive database entries into sales battlecards.
I also **desperately** wish Notion allowed formatting within databases and tables (my kingdom for bullets within tables!!!), which would unlock so much value. I think Notion AI is also limited when it comes to generating content within tables, which is a shame. Currently tables are a much cleaner way to display information than databases, but they're obviously also more limited.

What do you like best about the product?
Notion is complex enough to create deep integrations and easy enough to get set up for simple use from our volunteers and new employees.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion isn't granular enough to limit certain editable rights for every level of employee and volunteer we have, which can be a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We replaced Salesforce with Notion. It now acts as the central source of truth for our entire organization. It is a CRM, knowledge base, data input (with forms), reporting, and several webpages.
