A tool to scale team organization & engagement
What do you like best about the product?
Notion's UI offers a sandbox for any organization to build upon. Our team was able to leverage the easy-to-use UI to rollout a shared library of knowledge docs, team information, and HR materials. Notion has enabled us to improve team, organization and client communications. It serves as our company's "homebase," making it easy for us to share announcements, manage onboarding, create a community, and keep track of deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting started with Notion is super easy but after you get your workspace built, there are some challenges in scaling. As an advanced user, there's fewer resources on how to maximize your instance to leverage database details or other features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is providing a "homebase" for our organization. We had no location to centrally hold announcements, onboarding materials, SOPs, etc. before we got Notion. Now the entire team has access to the documents they need to be successful.
Best internal documentation I've tried so far!
What do you like best about the product?
What I really like in Notion is the ability to create very quickly and easily nice and collaborative wiki pages. All our company data and knowledge is centralized in Notion and accessible for each team.
The database/view feature is also great and allows us to display one source of truth in different pages with different layout/presentations.

What do you dislike about the product?
On my opinion, the only missing thing within Notion is an internal analytics dashboard.
It would be very great to see which pages/sections are the most viewed or modified.
Also we cannot create a graph from a database, but some third-party (paying) plugins offer this feature.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we had before Notion was that our internal documentation and data were spread around multiple places (Dropbox, Google Drive, Confluence..), with no central access/directory.
Notion replaced all these apps we were using and now centralizes all our company knowledge and data in one place. Easily accessible/searchable for every team and with a simple access control feature.

Notion for work and for play
What do you like best about the product?
I love the flexibility and ease. I use a lot of applications for planning, tracking, scheduling, and completion of projects for home and work. I wanted a platform solution that was all in one, and while Notion is not there yet I do believe we are on track for me to offboard almost all of the other systems I use to monitor my life and work tasks, activities, and inventory. I love Notion so much, I quit Airtable and Clickup and have no intention of rejoining those platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to use formulas that are more complex and create recurring task lists and to reference other databases. This capability is not yet available, there are some discussions on future abilities and integrations I am excited to see where the app goes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Specifically for work, it holds the documents for project managing, how-to guides etc. I use it to track the progress of my teams through implementation and keep track of any issues and lessons I learn along the way.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing about Notion that i dislike, just there are a few minor issues which are worth noticing & i believe the amazing team at notion will work on them:
- Live Collaboration and Pages Synchronization can be improved as updates made offile sometimes donot get synced properly.
- Live Collaboration and Pages Synchronization can be improved as updates made offile sometimes donot get synced properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The notion is solving our workflow problems right from managing databases to managing content to even creating customer/Investor decks, We use the notion on daily basis for more than dozens of routine tasks. Instead of using multiple saas tools like Jira for managing tasks/logs of engineering team, CRM for sales & marketing team, We prefer to manage our most of the work on Notion by using various freely avialble templates.
Notion has changed the way I organise my life, personal and professional alike
What do you like best about the product?
What I love about Notion is how flexible it is to every single need of mine. Do I need to create a database of tasks? Check. Do I need to create a list to keep track of the books I'd like to read? Check. Do I simply need a place where I can dump information and notes for future reference? Notion does that too.
It's empowered me to centralise all my information and create a hub that I can use to manage my entire life. There's simply nothing like it.

What do you dislike about the product?
Notion is amazing for managing projects and for its flexibility, but there are a few things that I've encountered as a Team plan user. The learning curve is a bit steep for new users; it takes a lot of time to set up, even with templates; and the lack of recurring tasks is a great downside to anyone managing a repeated set of tasks over a long period of time. Database templates are a good workaround, but they're not perfect themselves.
While I think the former two items are a matter of personal taste and commitment, and I don't necessarily suffer because of those, I would really love to see recurring tasks sooner rather than later! It would change the way I use Notion completely, both at work and in my personal life.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is helping me optimise my workflow and get rid of repeated information across my WFH workspace. Being remote means that there's a lot of data that needs to be accessed all the time, and coordinating a team can become cumbersome. Notion is helping me and my colleagues get rid of all that, by making information easy to access and more streamlined across a range of different micro-teams. It's basically helping remove silos!
Notion has helped me organise my school, work, and life – all while making it more enjoyable!
What do you like best about the product?
I like best the way Notion works at the core, so just blank pages. The amount of flexibility that comes with that is inspiring and I use lots of custom pages daily which reflect that. Also, the support that Notion employees gave me when I had a bug report or product request was simply astonishing.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no downsides to using Notion. Over time the updates have reduced all kinks related to speed as my larger pages became a bit slower. At this time, there is nothing to add in my opinion, although I am sure they will think of ways to improve nonetheless!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving the problem that all types of information is stored in different places. Also it has no restrictions to what you can input, which makes it much better than other tools. No need to save / remember, its flawless and automatic!
Good software for almost everything in the company, but requires a lot of time to setup properly.
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility. It seems like we can adapt Notion to almost every project. We have been users for a few months; as a CEO, I found value in having updated data to create reports for my board. However, I am now in a situation where I need to hire someone to keep Notion in shape.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup. It took me 3-5 days (3 hours per day) to learn how to implement a basic dashboard for Project Management from videos and manuals. Then I learned there are templates available, but they still need personalisation which also took me an extra week. Perhaps a simple initial funnel to understand the user's needs and suggest the most popular template will make the initial process faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every month, I have to prepare a presentation with updates to the board. It is a simple standard format; however, the project tracking took me a lot of time. With Notion, I can create simple dashboards to tell me what's delayed, a Gantt chart for the whole company and the budgets. This is very convenient.
Notion is like Google services but so much better
What do you like best about the product?
My friend introduced me to notion in 2019. I could see how passionate he was about organising his life on notion pages and in data bases. So I decided to give it a try. After a month of playing around I realized how genius the platform is.
The platform is like combination of your paper note book, database management system, link storage and collaboration space.
Imagine having a desktop. Normally you can have shortcuts (little square logos) to word, excel, jpg files. But what if you can have a full size picture, a text next to it, underneath links to sources and a calendar, and somewhere on the side filtered data from the database? Sounds fantastic, I know. No other software can organize information in such a convenient way.
Since then I use it for everything, from daily task, to friends and family network management, to university notes, to building complex CRM & SRM systems.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are barely any glitches. If I compare it to Microsoft ecosystem, it's like black and white. Microsoft is growing fast but with loads of imperfections. Notion is growing slow but steadily. My only fear is that this service is so cool that they might charge at one point in the future more than I can afford. Their software is more than I could wish for, but there are no alternatives. Meaning, if I ever will be forced to leave, I have no idea how to extract all the data without getting lost in it. For now it is possible to extract in a form of a pdf or excel file. It is better than nothing, but if you have large set of data in various formats, it is a problem. I am so happy to have my life organized on notion, but it freaks me out if I won't have access to it or have to move to other service for whatever reason.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a unique software that combines various data formats (text, pictures, excel tables, links etc) in a convenient layout with a very user friendly interface. I had no previous experience working with database management, but now I organize everything there.
An All in One Tool
What do you like best about the product?
the new Ai Agent is really usefull, i use it a lot, to create new database but also to fill databses, to create content, ... i use also use a lot the meeting notes ai feature
What do you dislike about the product?
it would be great to have multiple ai agents with workflows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a digital marketer. And i use it as a dashboard for my project and each of my client have his own notion space.
Best Software for wiki purposes and to build a knowledge base
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the building block style structure of Notion. You can nest as many as pages you want. There are different elements you can add in notion. This makes notion so powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really like the project management features of notion. It takes some effort to build your workflow and take some effort to maintain it as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It serves as the wiki for our company. All our project details, vision, marketing, brainstorming, research, high-level roadmap, employee details, product specs lie on notion. I use it personally as well to build my knowledge base. Everything I read and listen to will go into notion creating a knowledge base that I use for my own writing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a place to build your knowledge base, notion is perfect. But if you are looking it for project management do some research and see if it fits your workflow. It not good for quick note taking as well. Use some other tools like apple notes or google keept to take quick notes.
