Notion is a very flexible and powerful tool for organizing knowledge.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion shines on allowing their users to arrange and display data the way their business case warrants — instead of having to fit around an intended use case like most competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no Linux desktop version, and the mobile app is resource-heavy: not suitable for older devices. Additionally, the learning curve can be intimidating for less proficient users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion allowed us to centralize both our internal knowledge, project management and issue tracker in a single place. This reduced friction for our employees and allowed us to deliver quicker results.
Amazing tool for both business & personal life
What do you like best about the product?
Adaptability -- can be used for limitless case scenarios
What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting flexibility -- it would be great to have more formatting features, and to be able to set default formatting (e.g. small text & full width by default)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The risk/habit of multiple sources of information in multiple different places -- now all centralised in Notion, with links to external locations
An amazing platform!
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion for my personal and professional life. It's very versatile and easy to use. I use the tables and set different views when needed. I also love being able to connect different apps and synchronize them with Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a little getting use to at first, but we get use to it very quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps so much with organisation. Notions allows me to have everything in one same place. It's amazing that I can synchronize different apps with Notion and have my info all on Notion.
Great knowledge management and process centralization tool!
What do you like best about the product?
It's very user-friendly and intuitive especially for users coming over from another comparable product. I like how easily content can be added, rearranged, moved from page to page, and formatted. Page cover images, emoji icons, and a simplified UI are all perks that can be leveraged to make otherwise boring pages stand out and more engaging for employees.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you're a part of a smaller org that utilizes Notion, there is no implementation process so you have to figure it out as you go. This leads to misuse and mismanagement of the platform and the content within it. There are so many pages that employees have to fumble through and the search function isn't the greatest compared to other similar platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's our (only) central storage of all org-related knowledge, processes, onboarding checklists, etc...if something needs to be permanently housed for long-term use/reference, Notion is where our org puts it. Not the best solution, but an easy one to use at least.
Using Notion has helped me put a structure around thoughts
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that it is easy to use and I can collaborate with my team without the need for emails or any separate communication. The fact that i caninsert tables etc to give the document a structure is also great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think notion is an acquired taste as it took some time for me to muscle through the initial phase of usage. Maybe the onboarding could have been a bit more friendly.

Managing a data repository of all the process of the company
A Collaboration and Productivity Tool that meets all of my needs!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Notion is super customizable. There are tons of free templates for you to utilize to edit and make your own. I use Notion to not only track work tasks and my school work, but I also use it for my personal life. It's just an awesome tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to download the files and still be able to customize them or download them and edit them in something like Google Sheets as not everyone on my team uses the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to keep track of candidates in my pipeline as well as to track candidates I am coordinating interviews for that I am not the recruiter. I also use it to keep track of work, school, and personal tasks to get done. I like to keep personal metrics in there as well such as company hiring metrics and sourcing resources that help me on a daily.
Better than the rest, great for individuals, good for teams, developers love it
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has a great user experience for the individual user. It allows you to take notes in many different styles. The text formatting is intuitive and straightforward. The hotkeys/shortcuts are great for powerusers. Most of all it's built with use by engineers in mind. There are native code blocks and code formatting. I love the idea of "blocks", which limits the first cmd+A select to the block, then if you press it a few more times, it'll select the whole document. It has made my note-taking iteration so much faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some rough edges. Because of the unique block model, there can be frustrating experiences with it. Selecting multiple blocks with a cursor often seems to not work as expected. Formatting multiple blocks at a time doesn't work well.
Collaboration is the biggest aspect that I dislike and is worse than competing products. There are still many things that can be improved around commenting; navigating comments, dealing with resolved comments, etc.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For individuals, it is a note-taking management system. All the features make note-taking faster and more enjoyable to use. In the broader company, it is a knowledge base. The formatting and UX has made it easier to add, modify, and view documents. Since it's so dynamic, it's also easy to collaborate and iterate on the knowledge base.

- Very mouse-heavy. There are keyboard shortcuts but they're underpowered.
