Versatile Workspace Tool with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion to organize my daily tasks and manage my workflow. It solves my problem of arranging my schedule, taking notes, and collaborating with my team. I like that Notion allows me to do multiple things like managing tasks, and it assists with collaboration, where other apps fall short. The ability to share notes and documents with team members is very handy and useful. I find task management in Notion powerful because it offers flexibility and structure, letting me keep all tasks in one place with to-do lists, Kanban boards, calendars, and more. The templates reduce effort, allowing me to organize work in a way that suits my brain. Notion’s note-taking combines the best of Google Docs, Evernote, and Wiki, with rich content options, linked notes, and excellent search capabilities. For collaboration, real-time editing is crucial, as are features like task assignment and page sharing with varied permissions, ensuring all discussions and context stay attached to the work. This significantly reduces the friction of using multiple platforms like Google Docs and Slack.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion slows down with big databases, heavy dashboards, or lots of collaborators. It has weak offline mode where editing and syncing offline is unreliable. There's limited automation—no true recurring tasks or workflow rules, and minimal reminders. The database complexity with relations, rollups, and formulas is powerful but hard to learn. Permissions are clunky and managing access in a big workspace is confusing. The mobile app struggles with database editing, drag-and-drop, and navigation feeling heavy and awkward. Search can be slow or inaccurate in bigger workspaces and lacks advanced filtering. Limited exports and backups lose structure, and there's no local, full-fidelity backup option.

I use Notion to organize tasks like scheduling and note-taking and collaborate with my team. It combines task management flexibility, rich note-taking, and collaborative features, streamlining work and reducing friction by keeping everything in one ecosystem.

I like the fluidity of connection in Notion; you can make anything accessible from any page, which is great. It makes it easier to reference material from other classes and connect dots about conditions or treatments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the aesthetic customizability should be vastly improved. It's a little difficult, there's lots of limitations compared to most notetaking/writing software like docs, word, etc. So to get the page to look how I want is not really possible, and it took a while to understand that.

Notion helps me create practice tests like my exams and makes it easier to reference and connect material from different classes.

Customizable and Easy to Implement—A Game Changer for Our Team
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to customize each aspect of our database, as well as each page has been a game changer in our business. We have other software that we use, but Notion's ability to be customized (easily, and internally by our team, has been fantastic. It was also easy to implement, and took only a few days before we were fully up and running. We are using Notion on a daily basis now, by multiple members of our team.

Nothing significant at this time. I guess if there was a way to utilize other AI tools from within Notion, that would be a value add for us.

I wish we could have demos or 1:1 time scheduled with the Notion team to go over questions we may have. Some things were a bit confusing during the initial setup. I know you have some videos, but it would be helpful to chat with a live agent or do Zoom calls with them for 'tutorials'.

Flexible and Simplified Expense Tracking, Needs Better Currency Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I like Notion because it's really good for tracking my money expenses. Notion AI is really helpful in figuring out how to manage and simplify the columns and rows. It's also great for changing currencies, which is useful since I've moved to different countries. The flexibility of doing whatever you want in Notion is a big plus. Whether it's starting a new project, setting up a planner, or integrating a calendar, Notion makes it easy and helpful. I find the Notion calendar really helpful for tracking my time, and it's great to use with other supported apps. The initial setup was quick and easy when I was a student, so I had some knowledge of how to use it, making it even better.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion is not able to get the current exchange rate from a public source, which is a bit of a pain because I have to update the rate myself. It would be fantastic if Notion could automatically adjust the currency to whichever country I'm currently in. But currently, that's not supported, and I need to do it regularly to make sure it's up to date.
