Amazing Productivity Software
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a must productivity software for businesses or students. I use it as note-taking software for my study (Computer Science); the thing I love most is that you can create as many databases as you want, and it is possible to do a lot of operations with the data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The part I don't like is that it is not as famous as other productivity software that offers less. It doesn't have many features, but I am sure the developer will add them in the following months.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it as note-taking in my university path. I'm a computer science student, and it helps me to create tables with automatic functions and roadmaps for my projects
Easy to use and helpful
What do you like best about the product?
You can easily manage everything in one place to get more stuff done for personal matters an business. Notion really helps our team thrive with wiki's and internal documents as it is an easy to use application for web. Support is very helpful but could be improved.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes be complicated to use and not very user friendly as some people like it to be. SSO can be complex to setup however support helped us with this. Support could be a lot faster as it takes very long for them to respond to their highest plan customers.

Notion has been improved knowledge sharing in our business exceptionally easy
What do you like best about the product?
It is so easy to share information with everyone around our business, which means in my operational role, people don't come to me all the time with questions. They can find out the answers for themselves! It also makes running projects very simple – the one-stop shop for all information.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that moving different modules around the page can be quite tricky and that the number of options for customisation are quite limited. However, this may be my naievity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Knowledge hub and project management.
It means that people aren't coming to me with lots of questions anymore, and they can all find all the information that they need. It also means we can more easily keep all of our policies up to date.
Project management before was a nightmare. There was no centralised place to store everything which meant a lot of back and forth between colleagues

Excellent tool for knowledge hubs, collaboration and task tracking
What do you like best about the product?
I love the freedom of Notion. You always start with a blank page and create whatever you want. Whatever you want to do, there is always a way to achieve it, and there is such a huge community of creators you can tap into to learn more about how you could use Notion to solve the problem you're thinking about.
What do you dislike about the product?
The blank page can be a little daunting when you start, and there's a lot to learn to fully utilise everything Notion's capable of. But there are loads of tools and helpbooks to help you learn if you're willing to have a go!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is our knowledge hub for our whole-company documents, including news, policies and employee directory. It's also a tool teams use to build their own collaborative working spaces and document storage, as well as individuals using it to structure their own tasks and documents.
Using Notion for work and personal use
What do you like best about the product?
I like the concept of databases and the possibility of their interlinks & setting different views for different pages. It's especially helpful for our work intranet, where we store all our legal data. Also, I like the no-code mechanism, which is pretty easy to learn to use and cool what you can build out of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Usually, I lack the following function: while creating a database with some amounts, I then tend to calculate a sum of such amounts (automatically, under the row); however, this sum cannot be used as a separate property, which would have been helpful for many calculations (without a need to create any separate database and put the sum there manually).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Instead of a task manager
- Instead of a notebook
- Instead of excel sheets
- Knowledge base (previously I used Trello for it, but with Notion databases it's much easier)

Notion, a flexible cloud-storage notebook/personal planner that I am most comfortable with.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion helps me take notes and create a personal planner.
My data gets saved on the Cloud Storage.
The best thing is that I get to use this for free using my school mail account (it also works for business Gmail accounts), so I have unli-cloud storage.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Notion Mobile is not compatible with two-column pages. I take down notes using the Cornell Note-Taking System which is two-columns.
- It would be better if there was an option to switch from Mobile View to Desktop View so that I can see the Desktop Version of the page on my phone.
2. Notion Desktop App Window Word Wrapping when the window is too small. When I shrink the Notion Desktop App, when it's too small, the words wrap and create a single column of letters per row, which makes it hard to read while taking notes.
- It would be better if there was an option to have marginless pages in Notion, the Full-Width Feature still has a margin, I mean marginless in the HTML Document.

Managing my career, when there are a lot of job opportunities, I save the jobs I want to do in a database.
I was able to take notes of who are the hiring managers, the history of the company, the careers needed, and the status of my hiring process (Pending, Hired, Cancelled).
"Notion" has made me more productive.
Yes, my performance has increased.

By far the best app for staying organized (and I've tested many!)
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has to be by far the most versatile and useful tool that I know of in the "productivity tools" category. It has so many features and functions and combines all the best parts of Google Docs/Sheets, Airtable, and Apple Notes all in one well-designed app.
It's amazing for storing knowledge in so many different forms, and it's been a huge help in staying on top of projects, especially in creating videos & content. I also LOVE the fact that Notion just keeps on getting better with time - they really listen to their community and keep adding improvements all the time, way more than other apps I've used. The interface is nicely designed and everything just works well.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, very few things come to mind. Up until recently, the one big advantage that other similar apps (like Roam & Obsidian) had going for them was their handy sidebar features, but Notion recently added that as well.
Bi-directional linking doesn't work quite as well as in Roam or Obsidian, that's probably the one big advantage these apps offer - though to be honest, I don't really miss it that much. You can easily link to other pages in Notion, and all of it's other advantages make it a far more useful and versatile tool in my mind.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've started several businesses now and Notion has been integral to all of them. I use it to take notes (using toggle lists), store ideas (using databases), manage video & content creation (using kanban boards), and write newsletters, which I can easily copy/paste with formatting, as Notion uses markdown.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The notion is to help us to solve documentation clutter issues across the team in the organisation. Our organisation-wide documentation/knowledge base was fragmented across all teams. Collaboration/Access/Sharing and keeping the logs of these were challenging for us.
We have used multiple documentation tools for managing and creating our documentation but due to a lack of features and complexity team were facing the issue. So most of the team members are using Notion for their personal purpose and everyone is very well versed with Notion so we took the decision to move our documentation stack to Notion. Due to this, we minimize the onboarding and training time on Notion and the feature richness allows us to do more creative things on Notion.

Good at what it does, still need some improvement
What do you like best about the product?
What i like best is the ability to build a Quick Brief for clients, based on previous template
Also tool is simple but you can create much more complex page including database, formula; it will compete with excel but again for fast and clear presentation, this is very handy
Is it a very nice tool for marketing overall

What do you dislike about the product?
1)You can't create Folder!!
Ask for this request many times, but it just seems to be an essential feature;
right now, we have only pages that could work potentially as a "folder," but the thing is, many pages for one marketing project will have different teams involved with different lvl of access, so you don't want to have all your pages regroup in one page only as sub pages (i can't go into detail but this will surely be an issue for you if, like me, you manage different teams with different permission) , you want a simple folder, and this will change so many things
2) Some features don't seems to be on point and/or logical
* the ability to create your own template
* When you duplicate a page and make changes, but it applies to both page
* when you charge an existing Database for one specific project, make some modification, and this applies to the original database as well!

The ability to share online with many teams a marketing strategy including different layers of access
Share draft easily among client
I save time compared to my previous way of work (which was via group channel & drive )

Very simple at times, but then also needlessly complex at others.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is by far the easiest way to get information presented on screen in a good looking and easy to manage format that allows for collaborative editing by multiple people at the same time.
It's very easy to drop different media types and links into your documents and have Notion simply auto transform it.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is no way to export audit logs to automatically for security visibility.
Working with databases and tables inside Notion is cumbersome and there also isn't any simple way to link different pages to each other.
Each page is completely stand-alone unlike some other platforms that allow interlinking with views.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion makes collaboration between multiple teams and persons very simple and straight forward in real-time while also making it look good quite simply.
We use it across the business as an Intranet of sorts, storing our processes, documentation and SOP's as well as IT self-help guides for easy user access.
External sharing also works really well.
