User-Friendly and Visually Appealing
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion for creating recruiting processes, and I like that it serves as a hub for all recruiting forms, policies, and documents, making them easily accessible within our company. I appreciate that Notion is user-friendly, easy to navigate, and allows sharing in different communication forms. Its visual appeal is another aspect I enjoy. Additionally, when creating recruiting form job descriptions, the pages in Notion help in storing interviewer questions easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think organizing or moving certain databases isn't easy. When copying a database chart, it doesn't translate well to other documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion serves as a hub for all recruiting forms, policies, and documents, making them easily accessible. It helps store interviewer questions and job descriptions efficiently, and it's user-friendly, visually appealing, and easy to navigate and share information.
Highly Customizable, Easy Setup
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can customize Notion, which allows me to personalize it to fit my needs. The initial setup was very easy, making it simple to start using right away. It helps me keep my tasks organized in one place, which is really useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that we could remove certain headers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for organization, as it solves keeping my tasks in one place and allows me to customize and personalize it.
Amazing Accessibility and Smooth Tab Switching
What do you like best about the product?
Notion AI has amazing accessibility, and the tab switching is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific comes to mind. I do think the speed could be better at times, but it’s a relatively minor issue overall and doesn’t have a big impact.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m literally managing all my company’s priorities in Notion. It has tables, Slack integration, and a clear way to track things like product feature status, which makes it easy to keep everything organized in one place.
A Versatile Tool for Personal and Professional Organization
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can use Notion for both my personal and professional life. It's great for organizing things like a budget, managing bills, creating a vision board, and working with my clients. I'm able to learn new ways to use it daily for both personal and work purposes. It helps keep everything organized and allows me to maintain a seamless space for client access, making it easy for them to approve content and leave comments without sending separate emails. Switching from Google Sheets, Notion has become a seamless platform for us to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it could be a little bit easier to create different tasks within a content calendar, and to not have so many different view options show up every single time you create a new calendar. Although the list option is nice, it can get confusing. So I'd prefer that maybe that's an add-on option or something like that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion keeps everything organized and in one place, allowing for seamless client access and easy approvals, without needing separate emails.
Visually Pleasing but Steep Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Notion is aesthetically pleasing, which helps reduce stress when reading or creating documents. Creating documents is low friction, allowing me to spend more time thinking about ideas rather than structuring them on a platform. It also helps me structure my ideas in an organized fashion, and other teams are able to read through them quickly and ask about follow-ups.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is steep. It took a while to learn how to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me structure my ideas in an organized way, making it easy for other teams to understand and ask follow-up questions. It's aesthetically pleasing, reducing stress, and allows me to create documents with ease, letting me focus more on thinking about ideas.
Centralizes SOPs with Ease and Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I like Notion for its ease of use, which makes onboarding new team members simpler because there are fewer questions. I also value how many things can be integrated into it, as the integrations help different departments address their individual needs. The fun setup process, where there was a lot to learn, was enjoyable. Notion provides a central place to document our procedures, especially organizing our SOPs, and makes accessing everything easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe more discoverability on the different integrations that can be done
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to document procedures with ease, centralizing our SOPs, which simplifies access. The ease of use helps with onboarding, reducing questions, and the integrations cater to departmental needs.
Versatile, But Initial Complexity
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of Notion interacting with other tools like Slack and Linear. I can easily take a Slack message and turn it into a Notion doc or create a Linear ticket from Notion. The initial setup was pretty simple with the Google integration. It helps in storing and organizing meeting notes, serving as a central "sharepoint" for team updates, and acting as a repository for documents and knowledge shares.
What do you dislike about the product?
The overall general ease of use feels a bit complicated when you first begin using it, especially with using blocks and formats, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for storing and organizing meeting notes, acting as a central hub for team updates and document sharing. I can easily turn Slack messages into Notion docs or create Linear tickets, which streamlines my workflow across tools.
Great Search, but Steep Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I like the search feature in Notion to look for things I can find. The initial setup of Notion was also very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find Notion a bit hard to understand. I struggle with understanding note-taking software including Evernote and OneNote too. I feel like I'm not really using Notion to its full potential. I don't understand the whole database thing in Notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for recapping meetings and keeping track of information.
Ultimate Flexibility and Power to Build Exactly What You Need
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Notion is that it doesn't prescribe a way to manage what you're trying to manage. It provides you with the tools to build exactly what YOU need. Other softwares fall short because they try to put what you're doing into a box, or tell you how to do it. Notion gives you the ultimate flexibility and power to build what you're imagining. The company is also constantly iterating, which makes users feel hopeful that missing features aren't missing forever, and are probably coming soon.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion's integrations with other tools aren't awesome. It would be a much more powerful tool if it had better integrations with Microsoft applications like Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, etc. So many businesses are tied to these tools (whether they like it or not), and don't have the option to use things like Google Suite. There are also certain "glitchy" things about Notion that remain unfixed and hinder adoption. Notion could also benefit from better customer support for advanced users. Advanced users already understand what's possible with Notion, but often are looking for support from a Notion expert to achieve their goals. The availability of something like this is quite limited, which only limits what the user is able to build with the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion has been an amazing tool for centralizing information and collaborating between teams. We have also used it to build out prototypes of products that don't currently exist in our market. It allows us to spec out exactly what we're looking for and experiment with it in a sandbox-esque environment that's actually real. On several occasions, we have built something that is better than what's currently on the market, and used what we built in Notion instead.
Versatile and Effective, But Needs Database Enhancement
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how modular Notion is and how flexible the databases can be. It's very useful having different forms to use for ingesting data into databases, making data entry really easy. I also appreciate being able to create dashboards for different related purposes, which helps me manage all my lab-related work. It also allows the undergrads working with me to interact with the data in controlled ways due to permissions. The setup of Notion was pretty easy and straightforward, and I found it helpful to have a centralized hub for all my documentation, especially for managing grad school-related stuff and keeping track of notes. The AI meeting notes feature has been super useful for keeping track of discussions during meetings with my adviser or lab meetings.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel that Notion can be somewhat limiting when it comes to databases in their future. Coming from a coding background, I find the formulas powerful, but for more advanced use cases, they definitely feel limiting. There's not a lot of room for people with more programming knowledge to do more advanced things with databases. Also, using Notion as a task manager sometimes feels too bulky, with too much overhead, so I often default to using the Apple reminders app for task management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion as a centralized hub for all my documentation, managing grad school stuff like experimental metadata. The AI meeting notes help me keep track of discussions with advisors. It's great for organizing notes and databases efficiently.
