Notion is my undisputed second brain
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is incredibly powerful to adapt to the different ways you wish to document and share information. The ability to connect notes and information to other information provides a rich context for your notes, wiki, directory, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
With that flexibility, there can be an investment in time to get everything set up to achieve the full efficiency that Notion can provide in your productivity workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I capture everything in Notion. Tasks, notes, receipts, sketches, articles - anything that I need to potentially recall or reference later. Notion's true strength is in the databases. Capturing information in a database allows me to associate data with other data which provides the ability to present and consume data in a variety of ways. For example, I can organize the same data in a traditional table format, a card format as a timeline, a list or a kanban and easily have all views saved, and sorted depending on the way I need to share or reference.
Great tool in progress
What do you like best about the product?
I like its design, it is super clean and clear.
It feels modern and provides a good experience to use (adding images, tables etc is super easy).
I like the flexibility to move the items in the layout, and the breadcrumbs that help navigation.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think there are some bits that could still be improved.
I faced issues when working with tables (app completely frozen when copy pasting items).
I like the favourite section, but maybe it would be nice to have some more ways of saving pages (maybe folders inside favorites?) to keep the pages that you use the most more organized.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is helping us to keep company information organized and accessible.

Notion is a great place to make sure all knowledge is centralised and easily accessible
What do you like best about the product?
The flexible nature of Notion makes it a great tool for our diverse team within the company. We use it for internal documentation, product roadmaps, and office information - and we can rely on the fact that everything is in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The flexibility of Notion is sometimes a problem as well. It'd be great if they offered a bit more built-in structure you can optionally rely on to make sure things are organised.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Replacing many different tools and sources of information, so employees don't have to worry where they should. The only thing is knowing where to look within Notion.
One Stop Solution for Managing Data, Documents & Various Business workflows
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is really an easy-to-use tool for a small startup like ours, We manage our Leads, prospects & Deals details on a CRM we have built from Notion templates. We have built a board containing boards for knowledge sharing & data management for new employees, customers & miscellaneous info.
What do you dislike about the product?
Synchronization, when two people are working on the same sheet, can be improved. This is the only thing that needs improvement, Apart from it we love using Notion for our business needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion has been solving our everyday business requirements from managing the data and bringing the teams to a common workplace to sharing content & info. Instead of using multiple saas tools for managing data, website pages, CRM, we manage it all on Notion.
The best tool to organize work logs
What do you like best about the product?
The best point of Notion is that in which I can organize various materials (text, pdf, code etc.) in one service by utilizing various databases.
For example, I record daily logs by a calendar, discussion logs by lists, and photos by a gallery.

What do you dislike about the product?
The service will be more valuable for me if it can provide a preview for MS Office files (.docx and .pptx) as it does so for pdfs and pictures.
In addition, as an importation tool of websites, Evernote is much better... designs of websites are corrupted when saved by Notion web importer tool.
I heavily use a web importer to save websites with tags ('Books to buy', 'Place to go', 'Must read' etc.) and it will be helpful if Notion web importer become better.

Connection of database is a great idea.
I connect a Daily log database in which I keep records of what I do in a day and a Student database in which I records who they are.
When I discussed with a student, I write discussion records in a Daily log database and linked the daily-log page with the student page so that I can track the discussion log by a student page.

Easy and useful
What do you like best about the product?
A fast learning curve, Its interface is intuitive and almost anyone can start creating personalized tools for personal use or team use. Once you understand how it works you can start building from a simple to-do list to a more complex system as a CRM, planning tool, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't really use relationships for its databases, so you always need to create many-to-many relations if you want to create more complex tools. Also, you can share views to specific users of your team or guests with a filter so they only can see what you want them to see from a certain database BUT you have to share also the full database so they can view it in their filtered view. This makes the filtered view useless because they will also be able to view the full database so they can see data that only certain users should be able to see. They need to fix this so the users only can see the views shared with each one without the need to give them access to the full database. Otherwise, you need to create a database or table for each user. This would be the weakest point of notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me with controlling tasks for my co-workers with a full system I'm implementing. Since we need to organize the tasks by client, project, area, etc. It's almost perfect for the job.
The perfect wiki and team collaboration platform for SMBs
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a powerful and easy-to-use collaborative wiki that will work well for small and medium-size teams.
The user experience is very modern and easy. That will facilitate the onboarding of most users.
The mobile app works also very well. All your data and teams' collaborative discussions are accessible everywhere.
It’s like having Microsoft Sharepoint or Atlassian Confluence but much easier to use, but without all the heavy « corporate » features and complications.
It fits well with an agile culture where flexibility and experimentation are the norms.
Notion manages text, images, documents and even videos pretty well.
It has API's that integrate well with many tools such as Zappier, Google Drive, Dropbox, Zoom, etc...
You can create very flexible tables, wiki links, see backlinks, and discuss with team members almost any piece of data.
Everything can be refactored easily as you go...

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't personally use Notion as a personal note-taking tool. I don't like that all my data and my files are hosted on a web app that I don't control and in a format that is not standard. I use Obsidian as my personal PKM system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion shine when you need to build collaboratively a shared knowledge space with an agile structure.
You NEED Notion
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is one of those tools that you can do so much with. You can use tables, calendars, columns...the sky is the limit! I used Notion at my previous company and when I interviewed for my current role I asked "Could we get Notion?"
It really is a tool that is so versatile and allows you to build up a space for SOPs - refraining from tribal knowledge becoming a problem.

What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't run into any dislikes during my two years using Notion. Sometimes I run into hangups when navigating around/trying to create a beautiful page, but I attribute most of that to user error.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving a huge problem in the workplace: poor organization. It allows our company to have google sheets, miro boards, google dogs, google slides, and SOPs all in one place.
The most amazing all in one app I´ve ever used
What do you like best about the product?
For several years I was using a bunch of tools to do different personal and work-related stuff such as project management, to-do list, keeping notes, etc. I used evernote, trello, Monday, one Note, you name it and I probably used it. That´s when I casually discover Notion while browsing a Q&A site for another app. Its simplicity made me curious and force me to dive deeper.
I felt in love with Notion because all of a sudden I was able to do all the things in just one app, so I immediately changed and started to learn more and more about it.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I really miss and would love to have in Notion is Mind Mapping. I can use some tricks and twists to achieve something similar, but I still prefer the look and feel of traditional mind mapping tools. If they can think of a way to make mind mapping efficient in Notion without losing its simplicity, that would be awesome!! 🤩
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It became my center of command for all my personal and work related stuff. It is my note taking tool, my project management tool, my processes and procedures repository. It is everything.
A Little Time Learning Opens a World of Possibilities with Notion
What do you like best about the product?
Databases are amazingly flexible. It's not full SQL, but miles ahead of using spreadsheets and tables.
The search is quite good.
Resources and templates are easy to find.

What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks an offline mode, which has been a recurring complaint for ages.
It has very little for page design - everything is managed through blocks of various types. This is both a strength AND a liability.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anything that I used to do in Evernote is much better and easier in Notion.
It is extremely flexible in what I can store and how.
It has become my primary repository for all information - my veritable "second brain"
