Stable product with a valuable combination of structured text and databases

  • September 26, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use the application as a knowledge database to capture notes on different subjects.

What is most valuable?

The application's most valuable feature is the combination of structured text and databases.

What needs improvement?

It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems. We have to transfer the data or convert files into compatible formats for generating final reports.

They should include a feature for queries within text documents, including snippets of databases and formulas.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Notion for two years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable product. However, it works slowly for reloading large databases.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I use EverNote and OneNote. Both platforms don't have a concept of structured databases similar to Notion.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product's pricing depends on the usage plans. Currently, they offer a free plan for individual users with some limitations. I also have access to its educational plan, which is a bit more expensive. There are different plans with free versions. Further, we can subscribe to the paid versions depending on the use cases.

What other advice do I have?

There are plenty of products like Notion. For individual users, I recommend it because of the accessibility of the features. At the same time, I advise large organizations to compare a few different systems before making a purchase decision.

I rate Notion a nine out of ten.

Manage workspaces

  • September 08, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The possibility of designing a solution tailored to the needs of each one.A wiki can be managed as a knowledge repository. Manage both personal and work tasks. Manage budgets, costs, sales, clients. Manage learning processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is long, starting with an empty, white canvas is not easy. But it compensates with the possibilities it has. The points of improvement that I think it has are in the records of relationships between tables, I think that at that point it has to improve usability and help the user in the registration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to manage all the activities of my life, both personal, family and work. Everything in one place, segmented by workspaces. And within management implies the learning process, tasks and knowledge.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

A flexible tool that helps individuals and businesses organize their activities while ensuring that its users experience an increase in their productivity

  • September 04, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use Notion as a tool to organize my own activities and plans to help me with my productivity part. I help my company's clients to organize their business with Notion.

How has it helped my organization?

I work with many clients and keep juggling from one project to another. I have to use QuickBooks and Keeper for jotting down notes about the cases I encounter. With Notion, I can create different segments and specifically organize the details pertaining to each client. I don't really have to stress about remembering the details of each client separately since I can just organize the details concerning a particular client. All in all, I get to see an overview of everything I handle in Notion, and I can really get into the details, such as the details of my work on a particular day. In Notion, I see what tasks are coming up, along with their deadlines.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility. Notion is a tool that allows you to fit everything in the solution. Notion allows you to build the solution the way you want it.

What needs improvement?

The linked view of database, along with the sharing and permission settings, are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.

I would like to see Notion with more automation and exchange functionalities that can be used for databases so that I don't have to necessarily use some external integration platform to connect to other databases.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Notion for two to three years. I use the solution's online version without downloading its application.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have noticed that the solution crashes, especially when I was testing a few things, because of which I had to do everything again. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

I won't be able to comment on the solution's technical support since I can gather the information I want from social groups. The technical support is not really there at all.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Notion is easy. The solution helps you with basic things, but you can also use the solution similar to how I use it to deal regularly with complex stuff.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

What was our ROI?

I have experienced a return on investment with Notion since it helped my productivity go through the roof.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution's pricing can seem steep, especially when you work with a lot of people. If you are working on your own or for another business, the solution's price won't affect you much.

What other advice do I have?

Notion shared an update for the database, which allows you to share your database the same way you can do it on monday.com, making it one of the fantastic additions.

I would tell those planning to use the solution that they need not get scared or overwhelmed with what they see online since everybody started with the solution somewhere.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
