Notion is truly an all in one productivity tool for both personal and professional use

  • September 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love notion's powerful database -- you can create a variety of content and sync them so that updates in one area automatically reflect in all other areas where the blocks are synced. The tool's drag-and-drop interface, when combined with the ability to add different types of content, makes it super simple to incorporate into many workflows. I appreciate the flexibility the tool offers in terms of adding custom key words for tracking, adding team mates for collaboration, or setting due dates. Plus, I have full control over pages that I want to keep private /share with team or share with the whole org.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd appreciate auto-completion of sentences, much like what Google Doc currently offers. I'd also appreciate options to make edits /add suggestions to make this a tool that lends itself to marketing teams that are constantly editing copy.

Notion's search feature needs improvement. I'd also appreciate more templates and a robust mobile app experience -- I know the company has made strides when it comes to updating its mobile app, but there's definitely a ton of room for improvement on that front.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion serves as a singular source of truth for project management and timelines in the company -- I appreciate that information is accessible, transparent and easy to locate.

Great for Wiki and Team Notes

  • September 08, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We love the collaboration aspect of working with Notion. We use it on a daily basis to make sure we're all on the same page, which is crucial for a remote company like us at Mayan.
What do you dislike about the product?
One small feature is the fact that you can't right-click into a new tab, though you can through a keyboard shortcut. Some table features could also be improved to be more like Excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to work asynchronously and share meeting notes across the team. Some of the features are useful to aggregate notes and best represent our ideas and comments.

The best tool I've ever used

  • September 08, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility. Add properties, create views, move, drag and drop.

Templates. Kanban, documentations, relations and rollups.

Embeds. Aggregate new tools and include them anywhere. So useful, so good.
What do you dislike about the product?
No custom workspace-wide templates. It would be advantageous to have a way to share common templates.
It's hard to manage permissions.
No webhooks. API consumption limitations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication and flexibility to adapt, composing databases with new needs. It's clear how the flexibility aligned with the API consumption has made a big difference in how we integrate our whole ecosystem of information and flow of information.

Notion is theone-stop shop for team coordination and creativity.

  • September 08, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Full cross-departmental and cross-project integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would love to see Notion implement Google drive connectivity without Zapier or plugins.

We have a lot of databases that live in Google drive, it would be grand to be able to simply point to source data.

Additionally, would love to see the MERGE CSV functionality be able to remove duplicate entries.

All of the above apply.

Would also like to see AI as a native function rather than an upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross department coordination, including planning stages handing off to dev and execution teams.

Versatile and flexible tool for perfectionists

  • September 08, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Notion is you can create as many databases you want and create links to connect them. That's why you can create any kind of business application with Notion: CRM, Helpdesk, Knowledge Base and hundreds more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion is a bit complex to handle. I noticed people in my team had problems using Notion because of the vast amount of flexibility and possibilities Notion provides.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started using Notion for keeping track of my hobbies. Today I use it as CRM, run my client portals on it and track costs and Cloud Apps with Notion. I plan to run project management on Notion soon.

Notion is by far the best organizational tool in my life.

  • September 08, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to create different pages. I have so my on my plate, but it's easy for me to separate my personal and work life using Notion. I stay organized when all of this information is out of my head. I can think much more clearly and stay pretty calm without worrying if I am missing something.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not anything I dislike about Notion. However, one suggestion that I have is adding significantly more templates. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the idea of creating a new list or page. I'm not ever sure what the best way to go about it is. But using the templates, I find it easy and convenient just to plug in my info. So if there were more templates, I feel like I that would enhance my experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It keeps everyone in the company on the same page. While making calls, we can input a lot of information into Notion so that there is minimal need for back and forth, giving us more time to be productive.

I started using Notion and it changed me and those around me.

  • September 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like the design of the Notion product itself.
It is easy to write things down about myself and my work, organize my mind, and clarify what I need to do now.
Each person who uses Notion has his or her own Notion, and it is a wonderful tool that also allows people to show each other their Notion screens and share their enjoyment.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no complaints about the tool itself. In fact, I rave about it.
However, it is a tool that is strongly unsuitable for beginners.
One thing I would like to see Notion do better is to create a "tutorial" for new users.
While Notion is multifunctional and can do just about anything, those who are just starting out will find themselves in a state of "I don't know what to touch," and in the worst case scenario, they will dislike it and stop using it. This can be seen in the reactions on Twitter in Japan.
I would also like to see notifications in the tool when new features are updated.
The update information is very helpful for Notion users, but it is very confusing. At the very least, it would be nice if there was a pop-up window in the lower right corner of the Notion screen with the update information. on the bottom right of the Notion screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion has the advantage of helping you organize your mind and clarify what to do next.
In terms of work, it clarifies tasks that need to be done.
It also allows for manual creation and sharing, so you can write down what you want to write down and share your work.
It also has an embedding function, which is useful for embedding images - Google Map and all other aspects.
I think the advantage of Notion is that these can be done easily.

Notion helps me connect our team.

  • September 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Notion helps me connect our team, we work collaboratively with them, and all details are recorded and are essential. It is critical to manage an agile project.
It´s straightforward to use compared with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still nothing I don't like about Notion. The solution and the support team will meet all my needs until today.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Notion I can keep every detail of my project recorded in the best way, it is possible to use dozens of different ways to make a record and this makes the tool very adaptable to different teams and projects. It's the best agile project management tool I've ever worked with. I kept the team connected and focused on the project goals.

Best Free Note Taking App for students

  • September 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1. Toggle list. Writing something in toggle list enables me to take detailed notes on some sub-topics, and hiding them in the toggle list will help us see the whole picture.
2. Sync Block. When managing projects/notes on different Notion pages, the sync block keeps you away from doing the same thing twice.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion's integration with latex is not good; it can't trigger the inline equation by "$" but "$$", and it deletes "_" when I copy the latex code from Mathpix. If I want to copy some sentences with an inline math equation from a textbook or slides in a latex form, I have to manually choose the equation code with "$" around to turn it into an inline math equation and sometimes add the missing "_" to the code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I like taking structured notes with inline math, Notion makes it possible.
Notion helped me establish my workflow, and keep track of projects I was working on.

No-code Database is powerful!

  • September 07, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to write markdowns, the ability to collaboratively edit in real time, and many other excellent features, but the ability to create and manage databases with no code is wonderful. You can use the database for various purposes such as task management, project management, Kanban, movie impressions of your hobbies, photos of fish you caught, etc.
Another exciting point is that you can set icons and cover photos for each page.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although security aspects have been enhanced recently, at one time there were no features such as operation logs or allowing partial publication of web pages. This has now been improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to use a collaboration tool, but it was only a text-based information sharing tool, and by switching to Notion, we can utilize the database and no longer need to use other services to manage each team's tasks and progress.
