Good note taking

  • March 28, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Flawless syncing across devices, easy to format with enough depth to not be to simple. Commands make it much more powerful than someother products like onenote that are also freely available.
What do you dislike about the product?
No offline component is currently available, if you lose internet then it is not very pleasant to try and use. Formatting can be hard sometimes given how commands system is structured.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes it much easier to transfer my notes across devices and to carry on from where I was before, cloud sync is much smoother than using onedrive for a word document or a onenote file. The commands for subheadings, tables etc are very intuitive which is a stark contrast from word

Experienced Gtd practitioner uses notion for everything

  • March 28, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Second brain - Gtd use. I love that in the process of making your own workspace, you realize things about what you need. A lot of other tools force you into a workflow that might not be a good fit for you but notion helps you develop your own workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since the launch of AI, the speed of Notion has become concerningly slow, and Chuggie, and as your workspace fills, it also slows down quite a bit. Not having a great solution for archiving old pages so that they don't show up and search would also be a good improvement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have ADD and a very crazy job and ocean helps me take notes on things and then convert those notes into Project plans I use it for kanban boards it's basically how I live my entire job.

Shorten my working hours

  • March 28, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
several things
1. Web-based; I don't need to save in and carry some storage

3. Sharing; It's easy to share via web publishing; also versatile as I can use this for presentations or meeting
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, it is unstable.

It's inconvenient to change a font (too many clickings required)

The view is not consistent when with different monitor
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I archive all meeting logs in notino which saves my time and effort a lot. also AI assistant enables me to save those further, awesome!

Amazing help for a neurodivergent mind

  • March 28, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The AI feature is fantastic. It helps me organise my own thoughts, not only for work but also for giving shape to my ideas in a lot less time.
I used some other AI for writing, but Notion's structure gives you hints on how to ask for different things.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to upload content from PDF's is somewhat annoying
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Navigating the neurotypical world can be difficult, but Notion's AI has a useful feature called "Explain This." This feature is extremely helpful when trying to understand confusing neurotypical sentences. With this feature, I can tailor my answers to job applications and my own work, and even explain what I want to say when I can't find the right words. I can choose and tweak my explanations, making it a great tool for neurodivergents.

Notion's AI is like a walking stick, a screen reader, or even a wheelchair for those of us with invisible disabilities. With thousands of ideas streaming through my mind at once, Notion's AI helps me make sense of them in a way that I can express to others and be understood.

Remarkable AI writing assistant

  • March 28, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
For summarizing long documents: it does an amazing job, as well as pulling out action items. I have asked Notion ai to write outlines as well, very helpful!
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see citations: if Notion is pulling information from the internet at large, I would love to see where from.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily summarizing long documents and transcripts and pulling out action items, it is helping me to be more productive by speeding up tedious work.

EXCEPTIONAL TOOL for biomedical students

  • March 28, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use it to build notes and fill in holes from lectures quickly. Additionally, I use it to create individual abstracts of papers or more significant reading assignments. Finally, I use it for building review questions and practice tests.
What do you dislike about the product?
The questions it builds tend to be quite superficial, and I haven't figured out how to make them more reflective of the depth I need. I took a little while to learn how to ask for what I wanted from AI, not so much a negative, but more of a statement that there is a little learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to build a note database that is easily referenceable while studying, with expandable areas for active recall. AI has made a massive difference in quickly adding and building my notes.

Good online workspace

  • March 28, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create clean workspaces to explore ideas and work through projects. Able to embed things into pages, AI helps with mundane tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to manipulate the layout between pages (i.e., connections between pages) and the databases functions are a little finicky (have to be friendly with them).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AI is built into the workspace, makes it easy to have the AI review documents (PDFs and text files) or embed csv tables for the AI to draw from. AI makes lists from files and can read and perform summaries or identify themes, concepts, or people in the text.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that it had it's own built in spell check, but other than that it is great

Notion provides a place to organize all of my thoughts and also give me new ideas for writing

Notion AI: Future of productivity!

  • March 28, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that I don't have to go back and forth from other search engines to gather data. Notion AI incorporates this information into the very document that I'm already working on.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would prefer if it provided more than one major version to an answer. It also can't come up with mnemonic devices, which I understand is challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is enabling more productivity - less time wasted searching for and aggregating data. It also solves writer's block very efficiently. I don't use it to replace my writing, but more as sounding board.
