What do you like best about the product?

It's completely customizable and can flex to the needs of my projects and ideas. My managers also champion Notion so we all use it often.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes there are small things I try to do that feel unnecessarily challenging or complicated, such as features with the database or duplicating templates. I also wish there were a better to-do list function/database; something like Asana would be nice.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organizing and project management, transparency with my managers, goal setting in both near and short term.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion has continued to evolve into a reliable structure for organizing information across teams. Its flexibility in templates and layouts makes it easy to adapt to new workflows, and collaboration feels more seamless as we expand its use.

What do you dislike about the product?

The initial learning curve remains the main challenge, especially for new users. However, once familiar with the commands and navigation, the experience becomes intuitive and efficient.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collaboration across different projects. We work with multiple development projects simultaneously, which makes it hard to communicate both the current status and what is left to be done in each project. It is allowing us to manage multiple projects efficiently, with less room for miscommunication.

What do you like best about the product?

It feels like all the tools you'd use from other suites are available in just one cloud service. The options for content organization are limitless and the costumization of pages is flexible.

What do you dislike about the product?

The mobile app can be hard to handle if you have very complex pages. It's a learning curve to use it on another device, so it's all about being patient. Also, I'd recommend just using it on your browser because it's impossible to just have one Notion tab open at once.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

They're implementing a new side bar that should make it easier to switch between team and private pages. Seeing as I use Notion for work and personal reasons, this should prove helpful.

What do you like best about the product?

It is so fun and easy to use! I can not only reorganize tables of data but it's been very useful to move around text, from sentences to entire walls of paragraphs. It's syncing across devices has also not failed me yet, which I appreciate since I always have issues with other services not saving my most recent edits.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing so far. It has accomplished what I've needed and expected from it, for personal use anyway. I guess the only non-issue is the persistence and repeating of deleted pages in the bin, but that's not too bad.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to reorganize tables, lists and paragraphs with ease. There's also a kind of dashboard where you can add cards of information, which is useful for studying purposes and has helped keep track with art commissions.

What do you like best about the product?

Databases are perfect for managing tasks and workflows, which in other software are less customizable. Another preferential factor is the ability to format the page as you want, with many elements, always with a view to having a tailor-made work environment.

What do you dislike about the product?

Having many different places to put tasks, but not being able to merge them into a single database.
Another thing that can be annoying is not knowing how much Notion can allow you to scale in terms of numbers and management; it would be nice to have a better view of what and how much you can do.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion offers a platform to manage a very particular workflow, which needs a lot of information to keep track of and allows the whole team to add their piece to the completion and progress of the task.
Indeed it makes it preferable to other platforms precisely because of the robust customization, from what is the insertion of properties to the use of formulas that create detailed data and do not require a passage on the spreadsheets, keeping all the data on a single platform.

What do you like best about the product?

Product is solid, has a lots of templates to offer, it ia very easy and fun to use.
Usually writing documentation is a pain, that definitely does not happen with notion.
Also the tech support is always there for answering questions and receiving feedback.

What do you dislike about the product?

The only issue we are experiencing now is the slack integration on pages. When someone updates a page we receive to many notifications about it. We have already reported it, maybe throttling the notifications would be a good idea.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it for all the documentation of the different business units at our company, we also use it to have 1:1 meetings with team members. We completely replaced our wiki with notion

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is easy to get started and is seriously well documented, so for the most part you can usually find what you need to know on Youtube or other tutorials. It's easier to link databases together than you would think and there are some good templates out there.

What do you dislike about the product?

It's not so much the functionality, but to get the best out of Notion you really do need to understand the basics of databases. I'm not really a database expert so I often have to look things up.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a small business owner and consultant I find most of the 'off the peg' systems are too feature rich and complicated for my requirements. I'm using Notion to fulfill a lot of the functions that I'd spread over multiple tools like timesheets, CRM and project management all within one environment.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is very easy to use and very flexible in layout. You can put all your notes, ideas, and tasks to Notion and get organised. You can also share your Notion content with your family members and colleagues easily.

What do you dislike about the product?

It takes too much time to open Notion, you cannot take quick notes to it. There is no Chinese version and some of my Chinese colleagues find it difficult to use, especially when it comes to databases.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me to organise my work and manage our team projects. It really saves a lot of time from sending emails and making changes to various documents, also it helps a lot in collecting information and making notes for a small team.

What do you like best about the product?

A colleague turned me on to trying out Notion, and from that very seedling of a first page I edited, I've used Notion extensively and continued to bloom with it — even written the equivalent of a few novels in it. It's compiled features I've used in other tools, and made them a lot more elegant and streamlined.

Historically, I'd often get frustrated with how Google Docs, Zendesk, and others mangled my formatting, with unpleasant errors galore. By copypasting the same stuff into Notion, I could essentially clean up that detritus. And there's NO separate "publish" step, a page has live-editing! (You can always do a "staging/test" on a separate page, if need be.) Plus, making pages public or targeting shares is super-easy.

My business uses of Notion include project management for task tracking (via card columns), comprehensive user documentation (and the process of translating it from internal ➜ external consumption), and presenting ideas. On the home front, my wife and I also used it to write and edit our wedding vows, record proof of stuff needing repair, and so on. In short, there were times I was getting involved with another tool, then went — "Why, Notion can already do that! Just use Notion!" And one of my favorite uses of Notion is keeping track of my musical productions, serializing them with annotations, so I'm clear on what's almost done, what needs to be delivered, and what I might just be mucking around with.

I get excited at new Notion features adding value (tip: stay tuned to https://www.notion.so/releases !) and not overcomplicating the mix. I've seen other tools where the balance tipped a certain way and obfuscation got in the way of a good thing. So its growth trajectory over the years has been promising.

I like how I can drag audio files directly into Notion. I'm disappointed at what other tools (like Nuclino and Miro) to date still don't support us sound citizens.

The use of emojis, colors, and visual elements makes pages a lot more colorful and memorable — and dare I say, even fun!

Overall and importantly, Notion makes it easy for different departments to get involved, including team members that consider themselves "non-technical". It hasn't raised hackles like other tools with a jagged learning curve that are "unintuitive".

The backup feature is reassuring, something you don't think about going in, but you'll need it down the line if your data is even remotely precious to you.

Support has usually been quite helpful to me, and my many questions across time. Sometimes they'll overcomplicate matters by asking for unnecessary info on a small obvious thing... but I know it's just because they want to learn more. Better to err on the side of overcommunication, right? :D

What do you dislike about the product?

I wish we could add more custom styling — not going crazy, but custom colors with exact RGB values for text and solid background colors would make a big difference with matching branding. I know there are 3rd-party tools that aim to address these needs and things like custom domain names, but having it integrated seems really fundamental.

Also, when I last checked, there wasn't a way to see original code used for IFRAMES, which seems terribly clunky, since it means I have to store that code somewhere else (like in a separate Notion page), or risk it being obfuscated. This matters for anyone using embeds like Bandcamp and SoundCloud widgets with custom parameters.

But on the whole, Notion has been awesome!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

See the "What do you like best?" section above, where I address that. To summarize, even though I've used it for many things (just about all the main advertised use cases!): at present, Notion helps me organize and retrieve loose pieces of data in an approachable and neat way, like turning various Slack messages into a fully-formed help article, and keeping my projects moving forward.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion organises pretty much anything you can imagine. I can sync all my highlights from Kindle to collect all the best parts of books I read. I can organise multiple workflows, both personally and for my team.

We have 1:1 meeting agendas, sprint planning, monthly retrospectives, content creation calendars, marketing messages — The entire internal operating for the company happens in Notion. Before we were spread out across Google Docs, Monday & Shortcut. Notion is literally our home for everything now

The company I work for uses it as a database for all the company information, all the systems we have internally and onboarding for new team members

It is complex mind — or it can be. You need to properly dive head first into learning all the features and how best to use them, otherwise I think you can get a bit lost and not fully grasp the full capabilities of the programme.

Similar to Photoshop. There is a LOT to learn

What do you dislike about the product?

I'm not really that much of a fan of how notifications work — I often get a bit lost with what I'm being tagged in and changes within documents

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organisation — Workflow — Systems.

Systems are the best way to optimise a business and give it stability, we have so many systems: Paid media, content creation, creative process, onboarding, invoices, working with freelancers.. a lot.

Notion orgnaises everything and you are able to link docs together to help people get a full picture of everything.

As I've said, literally found no other alternative for this
