Our Documentation Lives in Notion and We Love IT!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to create databases and filter them and then creat filtered db views.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the AI features were free! At least to search the workspace.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use notion to basically store knowledge across many documents. Its basically a brain for our company. We store playbooks for all the different teams in our company to use.
A Clean & flexible platform for organizing your work
What do you like best about the product?
Notion replaces a lot of the Google suite tools, and because it's not made by Google, it's visually pleasant and user-friendly easy to to work with. It has advanced features but lightweight enough none of these are a barrier to using it immediately.
Notion is also good for collaboration -- each document has easy to understand, fine-grained permissions and it's easy to comment, link to or mention internal and external documents.

What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately, Notion has reached the point where it suffers from feature bloat. There are probably too many features at this point, and I'd rather they prune some of the ones that are distracting, and focus on performance / UX clarity.
The NotionAI pop up is pretty annoying, it's easy to trigger accidentally, and I've never used it because I can't think of any use case in which it would be helpful. If I need boilerplate copy I go to ChatGPT directly. The AI search is vaguely useful but I'd feel more confident in the results if I could get links to source documents. The task I have the most trouble with is using advanced database features, perhaps if Notion AI could suggest alternate ways to organize info (but only if its unobtrusive / happens when I ask -- we don't want a "Clippy" scenario).
For users who belong to multiple Notion workspaces, the dropdown toggle is a bit annoying. I wish I could have a homepage that let me pull from different workspaces, or keep global favorites in the sidebar (pulling from any workspace I belong to). I also wish it was easier to see when I have notifications in workspace A when I primarily spend time in workspace B.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a software engineer at a medium sized consultancy. Notion helps me collaboration with coworkers and external stakeholders , manage non-technical work (especially QA and Support tickets, surveys, etch), take notes at meetings, draft routine communications (although I wish the formatting was more consistent when I paste them into Gmail) and read company manuals.
Love Notion!
What do you like best about the product?
User friendly and buttery UX. Notion AI has been really good at creating databases / tables which has saved me so much time. I also use it to generate templates and doc skeletons for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating a database can be confusing. i wish i could add bullet points within the cell.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Generating templates and database tables!
Streamlining a single source of knowledge
What do you like best about the product?
I already loved Notion—I use it daily as a place to keep track of notes, todos, etc. I love the fact that I can have one single place that's so highly customized for just me, with all the knowledge I need, organized and readily accessible. It's freeform enough that I can make it work for any application I have as a designer, yet structured enough that I don't have to spend a ton of needless time fine tuning the system to work. Notion AI is so incredibly useful to me in managing my knowledge, and they keep updating it to do even more. The Meeting Notes block they just added has been immensely useful to me, and the fact that all of the answers Notion AI gives me is grounded in my workspace makes it so easy to find the information i'm looking for and to connect the dots across different domains.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the things that I wish Notion had is the ability to add handwritten notes—I'd love to quickly sketch out ideas or jot things down, especially since I'm a really visual person. I moved from Evernote, and that's one feature I really miss.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, one of the main problems Notion solves is reducing the friction in my workflow—I don't have to switch between a bunch of different apps (previously Slack, GDocs, ClickUp, and random spreadsheet trackers) and hunt down what I'm looking for when I need it. Notion has everything, all in one place, in a way that's customizable and easy to find. Notion AI makes that even better by being able to chat directly with everything that's relevant to my work life. It saves me a ton of time, and lets me stay in the flow when I'm working.
Great for company organization, but some features could be improved
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can create timelines and tasks to make sure the team is synced up on deliverables. It is easy to use and stay organized within the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike some features like creating tables - it would be really helpful if you could use function in the tables. Right now I do all my calculations in excel or google sheets and then copy and paste.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion makes communication within our company super accessible. Since we are spread among 3 cities, we need to document our work very well. The way we have set up Notion in our company makes it easy to track down projects/tasks and link other relevant information.
Notion is great and the AI features make it even better!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to get around the UI and search for data, especially with new features.
What do you dislike about the product?
We came from using slab which had better folder organization and in Notion since everything's a page it's a little harder to have a catalog of information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving the problem of information being hard to access for a bunch of our teams at my company. And the AI features make it very easy for people to search up information without having to dig through a bunch of different documents.
Notion AI rapidly accelerates collaboration and documentation workflows
What do you like best about the product?
Notion functions as our organization's intranet. Notion AI has taken it to the next level, making creating content and documentation faster than ever before. I have been impressed with the quality of content generated, even with very minor prompting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more proactive recommendations for content organization and better AI functionality within databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion AI is helping me develop internal documentation and project plans, quickly and intuitively. It is taking manual steps our of project management to focus on higher impact strategy building or content writing.
great for organziation
What do you like best about the product?
Super flexible. I can build pages, databases, to-do lists, and dashboards exactly how I want. Search feature works really well for documetrnation lookup.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be slow and clunky, especially on mobile.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onboarding, searching for knowledge within the company
Notion + Notion AI Review
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is amazing for having a place to dump and reorganize information. I love the customization and the ability to turn a page into exactly what I need. I use it most every day, and love the databases and the ease of customization with those. Also I love that I can have shared Notion pages with people and we can work on projects together.
What do you dislike about the product?
Downside is that when your systems are getting readjusted, there is a large readjustment curve to get things reorganized. Notion needs to be used long term and remain flexible in order to suit my needs and to be learned and used properly. Things can get easily lost or overcomplicated sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking progress on projects, having a central place for them to go. Logging ideas to come back to later and creating rating systems. Personal and professional use overlaps in the same software. Breaking down big goals into projects, and projects into tasks. Calendar and workplace integration. Tracking many moving pieces. Building projects from idea to execution.
