Flexible But Hard to Master
What do you like best about the product?
I like how quick it is to put a page together with multimodal content. I can do extemporaneous notes, a table, and even insert a video. I can nest a page within a page and backlink. I like the utility. I like the presentation; it's clean, mostly linear, and text-based. It's not complicated by boxes, image-heavy pages, or design elements that require more setup and create visual noise.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is challenging, and I find that after building a variety of pages and databases, I often can't see where they are. There needs to be some sort of a global view beyond the existing search to give me an idea of what I have and where it is. I know it's not designed to be a nested file structure, but there's got to be an organizational spine that runs through it, so I'm not losing information, disconnecting chains of thought, or forgetting where I put stuff.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion as a central repository for ideas, notes, and projects, helping organize data from multiple sources. It's a flexible organizational structure serving as an intermediary between different data points.
User-Friendly, Flexible, and Beautifully Designed Organization Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love how user-friendly and visually pleasing Notion is. It is such a flexible organizational tool that helps me stay dynamic in managing my accounts and book of business, and it is super easy to implement, manipulate, and adjust!
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the sharing capabilities. I only use Notion for myself, but if I wnated to share it with one colleague, I would need to upgrade, and I have recieved confusion feedback and what can and cannot be viewed and shared in Notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping and maintaining a database of my accounts, each with tons of small details to manage. Notion is helping me stay super informed, flexible. I can easily filter through columns to get a quick insight into information. I manage all of my notetaking and account details with ease.
Notion’s use in project management
What do you like best about the product?
Integration of several different features that’s help support a second brain structure, such as links tables, pages, table of content, databases etc
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to further integrate apps we already use such as Google Sheets & be able to edit it all in the notion app. Of have an edit on Google Sheets be reflected in notion.
For example, if we already have financial sheets and budgets on Google Sheets , I would like it to be seamless to see changes in the budget calculation in a motion page which may be a summarize page of our finances.
I wish there was an easier way to have a template load for a page that has a full task database which is connected to the tasks listed under databases. I use databases with each page having its own tasks. But it’ll also be helpful to have the whole tasks checklist visible on the main page.

Databases help organize projects with their sub tasks. It also helps us organize clients we have by creating a profile of them with statuses of their membership to our facility
A True All-in-One Workspace: Flexible Databases, Notes, and Powerful AI
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Notion is a true 'all-in-one' workspace (since everything in our company is in Notion). The ability to combine complex databases with simple note-taking and powerful AI features makes it the most flexible tool I’ve used. It helps me brainstorm, summarise, and draft content directly within my workspace without switching tabs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that the mobile app experience isn't quite as fluid or intuitive as the desktop version, but I prefer using the desktop anyway. Sometimes, but very rare, the platform can occasionally feel slow to load when pages become very large or contain many databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a CSM, Notion solves the major problem of information silos. By syncing data from Linear and Slack, it acts as a single source of truth for all my product-related questions. Instead of wasting time hunting through endless Slack threads or technical tickets to answer a client, I can use Notion AI to quickly query that integrated data. This benefits me by dramatically reducing response times and allowing me to stay in one workspace to get the technical context I need to support my customers effectively.
Easy Setup, Great AI Tools, Needs Better Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion to keep track of my tasks and resources for the company, and I appreciate how easy it is to find the resources I need using the AI tool. It really solves my problems with time, organization, and efficiency. I like its simplicity and easy user interface, which didn't require any training. It just took me a day or two to fully understand the app by playing around with it. The best part is the AI functionality, which helps me find documents and tables quickly and even create schedules based on what I'm looking for.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would definitely see collaborating with different team members. It's not difficult, but it could definitely be more streamlined. Just collaboration with different teams being able to share different documents, making it easier. Yeah. Like, for example, if I find a document and I quickly wanna add my team member or, like, a certain group of people, I would wanna do that easily. Right now, it's not a streamline. So, yeah, that's what I would change.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me save time, solve organization problems, and increase efficiency.
Notion’s Linked Databases and API Made My Project Management System Click
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility to build exactly the project management system I need. I run 6+ active development projects with different collaborators, and Notion lets me create linked databases for Projects, Sprints, Tasks, OKRs, and Meeting Notes that all reference each other. The relation properties are incredibly powerful - I can see all tasks linked to a sprint, all sprints linked to a project, and track progress across everything. The API and MCP integration with Claude has been a game-changer for automating session logging.
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance can lag with large databases and complex views. When I have 50+ pages with multiple relations and rollups, switching between views takes noticeably longer. Also, the mobile app doesn't handle offline editing well - I've lost quick notes captured on my phone when sync failed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a solo developer managing multiple software projects simultaneously (trading platforms, game engines, coaching apps) with different collaborators on each. Before Notion, context was scattered across markdown files, GitHub issues, and my head. Now I have a single source of truth with linked Projects → Sprints → Tasks → Build Sessions. When I start a coding session, I can instantly see what I committed to, what's blocked, and what the priorities are. The searchable history means I never lose decisions or solutions from past sessions - I've recovered approaches from months ago that saved hours of re-work.
Streamlined Collaboration, Enhanced Documentation
What do you like best about the product?
I love the overall user experience of Notion, the ease of documentation, the comments features, and Notion AI. It makes it easier to document the product roadmap, consolidate all research in one place, facilitate team collaboration, and run sprints.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can easily become disorganized if many people are using it at once and there are no clear guidelines on how to use it best. This can be avoided with sharing templates on how teams should ideally use it and also building decluttering and cleanup features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for research documentation, product requirements, projects and tasks tracking, and meeting notes. It makes it easier to document product roadmaps, organize research, collaborate with the team, and run sprints.
AI Notetaker and Project Management Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion for multiple things like the AI notetaker during meetings, which I use to structure my ideas and thoughts. I love using Notion AI, especially because it can propose solutions and stay within the document, which is incredible. The AI notetaker is a huge help since it takes notes for me during meetings, allowing me to be more attentive and giving me something to fall back on later to revise my thoughts. I really enjoy Notion for project management, and it helps a lot with tool management for my team. The initial setup of Notion was extremely easy, which I really liked.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for its AI notetaker, which stops me from taking notes during meetings so I can be attentive and revise my thoughts later. It also aids my project management and structures my ideas. Notion AI, proposing solutions within documents, is incredible.
Terrific AI Transcription & Writing Assistant—Easy Across All Devices
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to use it easily across all devices, and the meeting transcription alongside the AI writing assistant is terrific. I use it daily multiple times, and would highly recommend to everyone working in any professional or personal level. It is incredibly easy to implement, and to integrate with the systems required, providing the organisational IT team support this.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I particularly dislike, although I have not managed to utilise it fully yet, such as the Knowledge Management , Project Management, and Enterprise Search functions, although I would love to learn these.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A one-stop shop for all my note-taking, and resource management needs. It will be even more effective at supporting with project management once I have delved into this aspect.
Highly Modular but Setup Intense
What do you like best about the product?
I like using Notion for task management because I can see everything on my plate, including the associated client, task details, priority, deadline, etc. I also like that it's very modular.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a lot of work to get it set up to work for our team. It requires a lot of maintenance or it gets messy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for task management because it lets me see everything I need, like client info, task details, priority, and deadlines. However, setting it up and maintaining it is time-consuming.
