Project Management at it's finest and most aesthetic!
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Notion is the ease of notating items and creating tags for sorting, blocks for informational references, and links (either to websites or existing pages!).
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest downside to Notion is access functions. Notion allows you to "Leave" pages without warning, to the point where one misclick can kick you out of your own page. I had to wrangle customer support into my issue of giving me access back into my own page since it wasn't shared with anyone else and contained vital info.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is upping their sharing features that are vital for my team. Sharing pages through a built hierarchy of granted permission and page access leaves no room for confusion and allows for smooth communication across teams and supervisors.
Excellent tool to organize information
What do you like best about the product?
The multiple formatting features allow me to organize and distribute information in an easy-to-understand way. also you can add multiple types of data and embed it from other sources making it even better
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly is hard to find something that I dislike about Notion, the only thing I could mention is that sometimes when I share a page as a website the format brokes a bit
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping journals, organized knowledge in general, visualizing and processing information for your own use or sharing it with a team to keep a central source of information
Lifechanging!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how customizable Notion is. Depending on the project type, I can set up my tables in various formats. This flexibility allows me to use Notion in both my personal and professional life.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a slight learning curve when using Notion but I don't think that differs from any other platform - once you've watched a few tutorial videos, it is very straightforward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion keeps me organized and helps me track various projects and to-do lists across my personal life and in my small business. I use it as a second brain, a library, and a project manager.
My favorite platform for collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
For the prod-dev delivery team, Notion truly has it all: an intuitive UI, powerful integrations with other platforms like Jira and Figma, and a thriving community of Notion Nerds to help you build almost any page you can dream of. The databases are my bread and butter—they can be used in so many ways! The Notion support team is also helpful and quick to reply.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much—there are a few annoying quirks, like lack of an "upvote" functionality and the need to use an external form builder (Tally works well), and the mobile app is a bit lackluster—but overall the team is responsive to user needs and seems to listen to their community in terms of building and improving features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company uses Notion for documentation of all our projects, which we store as database records. We can then use these records to populate roadmap views for leadership meetings, as well as link other databases of features and teams to get visibility into where we're spending our resources.
The best app till date to declutter your mind

I like everything about notion , the ease of how we can create custom pages and how effectively it can be used in daily life , just amazing
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything about Notion as of now there customer feedback is very responsive and the updates are very promising,I am in Love with this app
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am an architect I use notion to run my companies management system where everything in the company is handled over there and it's ease of managing documents is impressive
Productivity Perfection
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to create large databases that can be a central source of truth. In addition, having varied views of this same database is a great way to break down information into digestible amounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's still missing some integration features that I would love to see - primarily with Slack. What's great about Notion is that they are always working to improve and drop updates frequently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For my team, we are using Notion for project management and task tracking. We just implemented a new "roadmap" today, and it will help us provide clarity on client accounts by using linked database views. We are also using it as a knowledge base for internal and external use.
The Best Tool For Students
What do you like best about the product?
Notion enables you to easily consolidate your notes into a central location and then organise them in tables. The app is very good for students wanting to collect notes, research or to write and then group all you work for a single class together with nicely presented notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion doesn't provide the best user experience as it lacks some of the features that similar products have, such as format painter on Microsoft Word or the ability to produce flowcharts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It enables me to put all my reading notes into a centralised location and them organise them based on book titles, themes and authors. It also enables me to plan for my University timetabling
Surprisingly a tool I can't live without
What do you like best about the product?
I can organize my thoughts, research and notes. I especially like that I can share notes with others.
I have used database tools which are very capable and advanced. I have other parts of my account, and the ability to have private and public notes and subjects are imperative to me. The Mac app, the iOS app and the web app work seamlessly and don't slow down my computer. I now have more research there than ever, and it is maintainable, scalable and sharable. It's also private, and I can trust Notion to keep my privacy intact and not mine or sell my data, unlike what we suspect with free services like Google Drive. I also reach out to Customer Service and they are prompt and helpful with any of my questions.

What do you dislike about the product?
I sometimes get confused about managing the users who are part of the account. And it's sometimes unclear to me about the billing, but customer service always answers my questions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is helping to maintain a research and note-taking notebook that is safe from being lost. With Notion, I feel confident that my ideas won't be lost or mistreated by myself or others. I will always have my thoughts, research and notes, which are most important compared to physical objects.
Notion is the future of docs
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is
- simple when you need it to be. No notion doc ever needs to be more complex than an Apple Notes note or a Word Doc
- flexible when you want it to be. Notion's different block types enable easy calendar creation & viewing data management, and even layout changes that make docs fun and easy to digest.

What do you dislike about the product?
Notion's biggest fault is that without widespread adoption, Google Docs is just a better competitor. Having my entire company switch over to a new Docs app is next to impossible.
While it's speedy, I do appreciate that some people prefer the bare-bones note taking experience that comes with things like Apple Notes.

Notion has been huge in
- planning
- creating documents with metadata (e.g. this doc is relevant from this date to this date or a doc with a completion status)
- replacing the absolutely terrible structure of Jira

Amazing knowledge repository but not up to scratch for project management
What do you like best about the product?
- the amount of customisations, immense
- different layout templates
- UI is nice
- better than Confluence when it comes to page building and customisation options

What do you dislike about the product?
- no out of box ability to display all my tasks across different projects and boards
- difficult to manage complex projects and keep visibility across multiple project streams resulting in chaos
- unable to share one task between multiple projects
- customisations are great but it takes a really long time to build relational databases to get a solid project board (it should be quick and straightforward, think Asana)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion solves the issue of transparency within an organisation bringing knowledge and projects under the same hood. It helps the team with visibility and handovers, but more work needs to be done to consider Notion a serious project management tool.
