Notion is like Google services but so much better
What do you like best about the product?
My friend introduced me to notion in 2019. I could see how passionate he was about organising his life on notion pages and in data bases. So I decided to give it a try. After a month of playing around I realized how genius the platform is.
The platform is like combination of your paper note book, database management system, link storage and collaboration space.
Imagine having a desktop. Normally you can have shortcuts (little square logos) to word, excel, jpg files. But what if you can have a full size picture, a text next to it, underneath links to sources and a calendar, and somewhere on the side filtered data from the database? Sounds fantastic, I know. No other software can organize information in such a convenient way.
Since then I use it for everything, from daily task, to friends and family network management, to university notes, to building complex CRM & SRM systems.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are barely any glitches. If I compare it to Microsoft ecosystem, it's like black and white. Microsoft is growing fast but with loads of imperfections. Notion is growing slow but steadily. My only fear is that this service is so cool that they might charge at one point in the future more than I can afford. Their software is more than I could wish for, but there are no alternatives. Meaning, if I ever will be forced to leave, I have no idea how to extract all the data without getting lost in it. For now it is possible to extract in a form of a pdf or excel file. It is better than nothing, but if you have large set of data in various formats, it is a problem. I am so happy to have my life organized on notion, but it freaks me out if I won't have access to it or have to move to other service for whatever reason.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a unique software that combines various data formats (text, pictures, excel tables, links etc) in a convenient layout with a very user friendly interface. I had no previous experience working with database management, but now I organize everything there.
Great tool to keep notes and documents structured in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Notion lets me share notes and documents with my team and provides the features to keep everything organized and easy to find. We were able to get rid of loose documents and bad file structuring.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are glitches sometimes that caused our data to be inaccessible for a while, this was solved with help from Notion's customer support. The iOS app also has a glitch where the app shifts around content or freezes when you reopen it from running the app in the background.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion solves the situation where our .txt files are all over the place. Meeting notes can be easily kept together with other project documentation. It is also the place where company policies and similar documents are kept and updated if necessary.
Simple and extremely efficient organization tool
What do you like best about the product?
The vast possibility of views in the databases, and that allows you to organize things in your own way, either with tables or regular notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the beginning could be a little bit complicated to learn
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is helping me to organize my to-do lists, my meeting notes and to create and manage complex projects with different areas involved
Notion is affordable, free and very easy.
What do you like best about the product?
I like draft templates, it gives a lot of idea for creation of my own template in Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
When user create account in Notion, the documention about how to use it are sent to him or her.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion support team is very professional. They help me to solve one problem in short time.
All-in-one Personal and Work Management Tool that offers me everything I need
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the best is that it is so versatile - it offers me options to structure and manage information exactly as I want it. The best part is that it helps me structure information in a way that I structure things in my head so as a consequence I can find information much quicker.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that I'm missing a bit in Notion is a bit stronger task management - I would like to see options for managing projects that could be broken down into tasks and subtasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Above all Notion helps me store and organize all the information that I want to save and process for later use. It also helps me structure large plans and brake them down into smaller parts such as tasks which gives me clarity over my priorities.
Great tool for organising your work
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity and user-friendly design. It took me just a couple of days to become a rather confident user. Other great things are lots of organising fuctions and easy teamwork opportunities.
What do you dislike about the product?
1) Too many emails (every time my student edits a page I get a notification). I don't need that many and would like to be able to change the default setting.
2) Tables and databases are very easy to manipulate but hard to create, especially when it comes to more complex options (like 5-star ratings for instance).
3) Another thing, sometimes I get the error that the object is too large to copy to a given page, but other times the very same manipulation would go smoothly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I appreciated the "(1)" instead of "copy of" in the page title. Sync blocks are nice. The support team is wonderful, they managed to help me every time I had an issue. I am in two minds about the button "safe for everybody". It can be nice at times, but it takes some time to get used to. I would love to have the option to choose whether I actually want to have this button on a given page or not.
Very Convenient tool
What do you like best about the product?
Notion helps us to coordinate and work efficiently. It helps us keep track of the effort put in to complete each task and the status of the tasks, all in one place
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that comes to mind right now
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps us track the estimated effort, effort remaining, and status of different tasks.
I like it a lot. However getting started was hard and took a lot of time getting used to it.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how versatile and customizable everything is.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that all the settings are not always clear and I will have to ask a colleague or support on how to do something.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is our general wiki for our entire company. I love that everything is centralized with all user and the amount of integrations there are.
Notion is a great place to make documents in an aesthetically pleasing way.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, many options, modern blogging style. Ability to organize information in a visually pleasing way for the end viewer.
What do you dislike about the product?
When shared publicly, Notion does not have the option to password protect. A bit of a learning curve and takes getting used to. Could tell that it was designed for those who have familiarity with coding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company is using Notion for an online user manual for our product. Before, our user manual was a static document, but Notion makes it easy to edit. These edits are instantly viewable to users who have the link to our user manual.
Excellent method to share knowledge
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to use. It's better than most wiki software I've ever used, it's simple to get pages created and the base formatting looks good, and it's nice to see edit history inline.
What do you dislike about the product?
The editor can be finicky. Sometimes, when I try to select a single word it will select the entire paragraph and then won't let me unselect anything, so I have to refresh the whole page. That's the big one that drives me nuts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Notion, my teams and I would have to write things in Google Docs or in markdown files in the repo, both of which were deeply annoying. Now we have a single source of truth.
