Great for Dynamic Team Workspaces & Wikis
What do you like best about the product?
The learning curve on Notion is minimal, which makes it a great tool for teams. It's fairly quick (and the team is always focused on improving speeds, it seems), and there's a pretty dynamic range of features. Also works well across platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion lacks depth in database-adjacent functionality - you can't make graphs & charts, dashboards, etc. off of your data, without using limiting (and sometimes costly) third party integrations, which is a bummer. Formulas also feel like they get unnecessarily confusing on notion databases.
There's, consequently, sometimes a level of complex customization that you can't necessarily achieve with Notion.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion centralizes documentation & data for our team - having shared access that can be updated & reflected across the team is hugely helpful, especially as a remote org.
Notion is great for team notes and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to house and organize information in Notion. It's a great space to document workflows and procedures, company policies, etc. It's also very user friendly and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I can think of! It's easy to build documents and workspaces, and also easy to find what I need when I need it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is one intuitive space where our internal knowledge base lives. It's easy to keep things organized and ensures that our team always has access to documents and procedures when they need it.
Great app for product management, templates, and programs.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the customization of most features. The interactivity with a database is wonderful, and being able to create different views for each section is great. I like the sharing option so I can have a client view the work; however, it would be great if they could add their own opinions or fill in the data on a form and have it save on the backend for my use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could create folders for different pages and projects - like if I have a folder called Clients, I want to make another folder for the client name, then another for the type of content or database I'm building.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a platform where I could create living documents and tracking tools. I started using Notion when a real estate coach gave us access to a fantastic template she built. After utilizing and experimenting with other templates, I created several pieces that would benefit many.
Notion is a powerful program for a variety of uses and they are improving it all the time
What do you like best about the product?
I started with Notion a few years back. It works across my devices, and I can connect outside users in a team to share information on a project. It’s a powerful program, and I am not using nearly all the features/capabilities it offers. The Notion developers continue to add features. One example is that they have enabled a beta AI which is pretty interesting (regardless of where you stand on 'AI'). Also, I use a Notion clipper extension available for Chrome, which is great for quickly adding web page content that I want to review or keep.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve (which I have yet to master). I think that with a powerful app like Notion, you have to spend a bit of time to figure out how to make it work best for your purposes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to keep track of projects and events I am working on, including coordination across projects within an organization. My work involves multitudes of details, so having separate sets of notes within notes and creating filters and connecting them is invaluable. Also, it's just great for note-taking and keeping that type of thing organized.
I needed this—BADLY.
What do you like best about the product?
My friend told me about notion years ago but I didn't listen. It's because I didn't understand What notion was and how it works. But I decided this year that I would take the time to just understand it before I dismissed it. Best decision I could have made.
I used to use a million different apps at the same time to stay organized. I'd grab paper and pen, or open Notes app, or send myself a text whenever I needed to record a quick note. Then I'd have to file and sort it all out later.
Notion is so much more than a word processor. It is everything I need--whatever I need--in one place.
A habit tracker. A note-taker. A personal journal. A place where I make guidesfor students I help mentor. A place where I track college applications. A job tracker. A personalized career dashboard. A vision board. All in one. Many thanks to the notion team for your genius and labor.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's a few hiccups every now and then. Can't think of anything right now, but I'm really just grateful to have a tool like this available to me for free! What a blessing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was all over the place. Too many tools. Too many apps. Too many outlets. Now I just have one centralized tool.
Powerful, but can feel overwhelming
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can make anything in Notion my own! It's a powerful tool that can be used for ANYTHING! I use it to organize my business ideas, content calendar, and goals. I also use it to organize my life, make to-do lists, and habit tracking!
What do you dislike about the product?
The beauty of Notion is the ability to personalize everything, which can also feel overwhelming for someone who lacks time and creativity to build beautiful pages. I wish there were more templates. I found the app helpful and easy to access, but it slowed my computer down significantly. I only use the web app now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing all my business ideas and documents in one place.
Great organisation tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there are so many templates of pages with an aesthetic and pragmatic way of organising information. Also, it is a good way of keep all my assignments visible and the notes from my classes and projects all in the same space.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to have the possibility to create charts in Notion, since at the moment is only possible via external sources. Moreover, I feel like the users would appreciate more tutorials on how to use the software, as I feel that there are many things that I cannot understand, or do not even know that can be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organisation, keeping me up to date with my deadlines, keeping all my class notes in one place, habit tracking, job applications tracking, reading tracking, etc.
No better tool for knowledge management
What do you like best about the product?
Using it for documentation, task mgt, and collaboration in the company. Really enjoying new features, especially AI helper.
What do you dislike about the product?
For many people navigation is not very intuitive, takes time to find needed info. Search is not perfect.
Sharing outside of team can become messy with little control over who has access to what.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IT solves documenation sharing and task management at the same time. Great to have everything in one place with cross-linking etc.
Databases are a way better tool than Excel tables for certain needs.

Best Productivity App
What do you like best about the product?
1. Allows you to keep a track of your projects using Kanban boards.
2. A ton of customization possibilities to address your requirements.
3. The new AI feature also not only writes well but also does it in beautiful formats.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Calculations like excel are kinda tricky.
2. I would love to see how events on your kanban board or calendar view can be synced with Google Calendar
Other than that I love everything about Notion.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Progress Board: Notion allows me to get a sense of all the activities that are pending on me, broken down by departments and reminds me when I should take action.
Great looking and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The templates are a great tool - one can easily edit the content. Also, you can add external links and easily display them nicely. The timeline view is great.
The look is fresh and warm compared to others. The emojis are a nice touch.
I use it primarily for project management and time frames; it looks nice while keeping it compact.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can get confusing when linking another page within a page, especially when you want to edit something within the attached page. And when adding a deadline, it takes a few trials to get the correct date in; sometimes, one moves with the change of the other (end/start).
I also work a lot with sticky notes; it would be fantastic if we could have that without integrations.

Easy way to store information and follow up on project steps and timelines. I need something that I can easily manipulate that allows me to have a summarised version of all my ongoing projects as a front view but in the back of it all of the information from research deep dives.
