Super versatile tool for creating and sharing anything from call notes to project boards.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to organize information into a variety of formats (columns, tables, boards, etc.).
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the mechanics take a while to get used to (not immediately intuitive).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy way to keep track of call notes, company resources and info, visualizing projects and tickets within teams, etc.
Loved This More Than I Anticipated
What do you like best about the product?
So easy to create your own wiki and to coach other team members on how the software functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, truly wee have been using this software for some time now and everyone loves it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to complete project tracking, team information center, and communicate with each other through the software itself. You can @ someone from your team to bring attention to a page, comment, or edit you made in a specific section - it has been a huge help for us. Honestly, you can create your wiki to look how you want and form the pages to your layout desires and how you want your information stored. It's great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This was my first time creating my own wiki and Notion made it so incredibly easy. Not only do they have templates you can use, but you can search through their support center and figure out how to create your own templates. Do the trial and work through all the different sections to see how easy it is to create and how functional it can be for a team - especially if it is a team that collaborate on the same information, etc..
Good organizing platform
What do you like best about the product?
It's good to work with a team and the most valuable thing is that you can add all the information/images/files/links that you need in one project so it's easy to find in the future, and easy to work with everything together.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you edit something you can edit for everyone and all the projects at the same time. That's confusing. Some things have to technical names
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with content creation teams to make it easier and simple, You assign projects to people, give all the information necessary, and then you receive the final assets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For us, it's a good tool and makes things easier. We almost don't communicate through email thanks to this tool.
However, probably you will need another tool to complement it.
I'll add more templates or make it easier to arrange things under the project card, sometimes you move something and everything goes to different places. In general is good and I will recommend it.

Brain dump and note organization
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity and versatility of the solution, easy to add pages
Nice visual add on to create an environnement on each note (background and emoji) plus it selects it for me if i am to lazy or uninspired to do so.
There is web + a mobile app (iOS) that is good an i like to have a real bespoke desktop app too, this is my main way to input at the moment.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some UX bugs when you try to go to fast because of the way it was thought to be used only with keyboard
HTML based model doesn't allow you to have all the flexibility you would want when writing notes
Not sure how i will be able to export all my notes and data the day i want to move to a new system
could use an API to fetch external data (from google sheets for example)

Replaces evernote and offers me a lot more in terms of sharing, collaborating and other type of data i can put on.
Does not fully replace trello at the moment, but can substitute for light version on smaller projects
bit by bit, becoming my go to app for note taking and organisation

You need to try to see if it suits your needs because it is very versatile so hard to decide from marketing documents. (and free to try so no worries)
Love Notion as our wiki and for keeping track of notes
What do you like best about the product?
The organization of Notion is incredible and makes creating a document fun, easy and convenient for sharing within the organization. The table & task feature is super logical and transfers well across different document sets. Finally the design is incredible and they make constant updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one part notion needs a big improvement on is on their tables. Right now we still rely on airtable and excel for anything that's a little more sophisticated with numbers. This is unfortunate since I would love to use notion for tables as well. The formulas are basic and hard to use. I know they'll figure this out eventually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal wiki is the main one. We now have a central location where we keep track of all of our files and notes. We also use it to manage tasks since their tables make it easy to manage.
Great and versatile program for almost everything
What do you like best about the product?
If you get the hang of this program, you can do pretty much everything:
- note taking
- landing page building
- DB management
- agenda management
- calendar
you will be able to custom display your data or notes as well in different formations, such as table, lists, posts.

What do you dislike about the product?
one thing i found missing, is the fact that my needs for e-pen note taking (for my med school) are not supported using notion.
notion does not support pen input of sort, at least as far as im aware of.

All in one life&project management
What do you like best about the product?
It is like Trello, Tables, Evernote, all together and integrated. I don't need other tools with Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tables can provide more features for calculations or etc. Or outside of the table and in a page, we should be able to write a function that pulls the data from the table and show it a box or somewhere.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using Evernote for my notes. I switched to Notion and not only I am writing contents in it but also I am manage these projects with boards and following up with them with checklists. It helps me organize my ideas and projects.
great tool for organising ideas
What do you like best about the product?
I like best the vast number of things you can do inside Notion. It is also super flexible.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get very complicated and hard to get your head around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I organise my ideas and open wikis for other members of our organisation so that they can also contribute.
My Honest Review On Notion
What do you like best about the product?
1. Extremely powerful.
2. Is very easy to use, although to use it to its full potential, you need to learn more about it.
3. Great user interface, comes with built in light and dark mode.
4. Present in every platform whether it be browser, android or ios.
5. Great customer support.
6. Free with almost no restrictions. The major one is that you can't insert more than 5MB of files in free versions. But, for students, notion pro is free. Paid plans are very cheap.
5. Great tools for collaboration.
6. Great features, like page lock, insertion of tables or any media and much more.

Not only a note-taking app
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the fact that with Notion, now I can replace my note-taking app, todo app, calendar app and text editor and use just a one tool. Also as a developer I really like the fact that I can export my notes as .md file and use it a a readme file because I do not like to write readme in online interfaces. Last but definitely not least I love that Notion decided to get unlimited space to free users. Also "database" function is what I enjoy in my day to day basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really do not think of a single thig that I do not like about Notion. I was kind of scared when I installed mobile version (because of reviews on Google Play) but it is good experience overall and I use desktop version most of the time anyways.
The only thing is probably that there is a bit of learning curve to Notion but there always is with whatever piece of software when you want to become power-user and use all of the features.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I wrote in previous section that thing that I really like about Notion is the fact that I can use it as my note-taking application and also I have started it using as my primary to-do application. Also in my professional carrer I am using Notion to write readme-s,...
Also what I do enjoy is database function or feature. So I have started to use this feature as my reading list. Most of the time I use Notion as a note-taking application and bacuse I am a student I use it a lot.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Notion to anyone who is trying to find his or hers first note-taking application. One definitely can use apps like One Note, Evernote or even notepad, but Notion goes a extra mile and you can use it as todo application, write readmes and so much more so I would recommend to give it a shot.
