All-in-One Flexibility That Replaces Multiple Apps
What do you like best about the product?
I like its all-in-one flexibility, it replaces multiple apps by housing notes, tasks and project trackers in one clean, centralised space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion can feel slow when you're working with large workspace, which is quite frustrating when you are in the middle of focused work
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Notion I struggled with having notes in one app, tasks in another and documents scattered everywhere, now I manage everything in one place which saves me at least 30 min a day
Master Collaboration Tool with Robust Tagging & helpful AI writing assistant
What do you like best about the product?
I love the tagging feature in Notion as it helps me compile lists of key projects and break them down into subheadings, checklists, and tasks for others to be tagged in. The ability to have one main board and link loads of other mini Notion boards to it is great because it allows me to create a master deck. I also really enjoy being able to work coherently alongside my team. The transcription feature is one of my favorite things, as it transcribes everything going on during calls and provides a checklist of actions and follow-ups for the next call. I like how expansive Notion is; you can basically do everything on it. The checklist feature is a massive plus since I'm big on making lists. The initial setup was really easy, thanks to a team walkthrough that showed us things we didn't even know could be done with Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes find the website itself easier to use than the app. But I am usually using it on my browser anyway. It's just when I'm using Notion on the go on my phone or on my desktop application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to organize projects with lists, checklists, and tagging for team collaboration. The linking of mini boards to a master board enhances project management. Its transcription feature is great for capturing meeting notes and actions, keeping my team cohesive.
Beautiful Note Creation, Needs Smoother UI
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion to store my notes and create them with AI. It helps me save time and offers solutions to problems I encounter. I particularly like how it creates beautiful notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its UI is not smooth and very buggy. It gets stuck when there is a lot of information on the screen. The initial setup was confusing, though it became easier once I got the hang of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to save time by storing and creating beautifully formatted notes with AI assistance, providing solutions to my problems.
Intuitive Interface, Effective for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like Notion's clean and intuitive GUI, which saves time and lowers barriers to adoption.
What do you dislike about the product?
On onboarding to Notion I felt a bit lost when navigating through the Notion groups or teams. It took me around 30 minutes to understand the environment and setting up. However, still today I have the feeling that Notion can be fine-tuned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to keep up with projects involving external teams and track the most recent version. The clean and intuitive GUI saves time and lowers barriers to adoption.
Effortless Project Management, Needs More How-To Guides
What do you like best about the product?
I find Notion incredibly easy to use, especially when it comes to creating tasks, linking things, and providing summaries. It's very helpful for organizing my work projects, and I appreciate how easy it is to edit. The initial setup of Notion was super easy, which made getting started a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm still new to Notion and learning, but maybe more training videos. How-to videos on useful or common processes would be beneficial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for project management, organization, and synthesis. It helps us keep track of multiple projects and is easy to edit, allowing us to create tasks, link information, and provide summaries effortlessly.
AI-Powered Notion Simplifies Documentation with Minor MCP Hiccups
What do you like best about the product?
I mainly use Notion for documenting my solutions, RCA, and TRDs. I like that we can search the documents efficiently in one place. It provides MCP, which is useful for integrations with other systems. I really appreciate its AI chat facility, where we can ask questions from documents rather than going in and searching manually. This feature simplifies big document content into meaningful notes. Also, the initial setup was quite simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Whenever I try to update something via MCP, it doesn't allow me most of the time, and if I just import the updated document, comments get lost. MCP support for proper updation without data loss or overriding the full existing document would be an improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Notion helps me search documents efficiently in one place and its MCP is great for integrating with other systems. The AI chat simplifies document content into meaningful notes, so I don't have to go through the whole document.
Versatile for Work and Study, Needs Better Chart Customization
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way it is easy to connect to Notion using the API, which includes CRUD operations to the Notion databases. I also use the Notion charts a lot. The shortcuts for tasks in markdown set it apart compared to other competitors. For the API, I use it to automate the pushing of data into Notion from other data sources, then use Notion charts to visualize. Markdown shortcuts make it easy to use '\\' to call specific sections like Header 1 or database, etc. The initial setup was very easy for me since I had worked in a company that used it before.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion charts need to be better as compared to other providers as it has limitations around how you configure it. It should be more configurable and customizable in terms of the features. Also, more types of charts should be made available, like a date toggle across the dashboard, which isn't available right now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for time management and prioritizing tasks at school and work.
Notion as a Powerful, Customisable Second Brain
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is wonderful for organising my life and work all in the same place. It’s endlessly customisable and really feels like a space I can use as a second brain. That said, the learning curve isn’t fun.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion isn’t user-friendly enough, and the support is awful. I ended up losing $60 on my subscription, and they didn’t even get back to me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Knowledge management is what Notion helps me with. As a researcher and medical student, I have a lot of work and information that I come across and need to return to later for reference. It also helps me keep track of research questions as they come up, along with my general life admin.
Notion’s Flexibility and Linked Databases Keep Everything Organized
What do you like best about the product?
Notion's flexibility is its biggest strength. As a developer and entrepreneur managing my EdTech SaaS, I use it to organize everything from product roadmaps to meeting notes and client documentation. The block-based editor makes it incredibly easy to structure information, and the database views (table, kanban, calendar) let me track tasks and projects in one place. The ability to link databases together and create relational structures is something I haven't found as elegantly done elsewhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
The performance can be sluggish, especially with large databases or complex pages that have many embedded blocks. Loading times on mobile are noticeably slow. The offline mode is also quite limited, which is frustrating when working without a stable internet connection. Additionally, the pricing model becomes expensive when adding team members, which is a pain point for small startups. A more affordable team tier would be very welcome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using Notion, I was juggling multiple tools — spreadsheets for tracking tasks, Word docs for documentation, and sticky notes for ideas. Everything was scattered. Notion consolidated all of this into one workspace. Now I manage my entire product development lifecycle, from feature planning to sprint tracking and technical documentation, in one place. It has saved me several hours per week and improved collaboration with my team significantly.
