Versatile but Overwhelming for Beginners
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Notion is organized around a database, which suits my computer science background and makes it easy for me to understand. I enjoy the ability to view the same data from different parts like templates or views, and even link it from different pieces of data. This feature is not only interesting but also useful for keeping track of connections between different ideas. I also appreciate the way Notion allows me to store notes and access them later in an organized manner. Additionally, using AI-generated templates was interesting at first because it felt fun to give a command and have something built for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really find the AI features in Notion useful. The AI-generated templates initially felt fun and interesting, but from a long-term perspective, they don't seem necessary since most of my tracking systems and database organization remain consistent over time. I might need to make minor edits, but I don't need a fully powered AI to generate new templates constantly. Now, as for setting up Notion, I think it was difficult for me to figure out how to use the tool to improve my workflow. I was kinda faced with a blank canvas, which was a bit overwhelming. There are so many templates available, and while they look great, it requires a lot of effort to figure out what I actually need. There's a big gap between my workflow issues and making it into something usable in Notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to manage my daily routine and reduce information overwhelm, giving me a consistent view of ongoing projects and commitments while tracking timelines and frequencies.
Flexible Team Collaboration with Notion
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility and the multiple options that Notion provides. It's really good because anything we think of is pretty much possible inside the platform. Collaborating with team members is also good. I appreciate the options to put the deadlines on each project and define collaborators and main ownership, which are all really good definitions. I also like that I can link Google Drive, YouTube, and other external links, which are important parts of the project, and they're all easily linked in Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the priority which is decided as per the deadline or the timeline pretty much ends up there. I don't usually receive notifications whenever a task is due. The notifications are within Notion, but it would help if I would get notification, let's say, on my email or somewhere else on Slack. Something like that so that we are more aware of an approaching deadline and can act before time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for scheduling shared calendars, email and in-app marketing, messaging, and team collaboration, ensuring effective external communication.
Quick to Get Up and Running
What do you like best about the product?
It was quick to get up and running. There are useful easy to find YouTube videos to help.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were prompts after the basics are learned to recommend “next-level” skills, so it’s easier to use the tool more effectively and organize data better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everyone has access to the same thing, which makes it easy to stay on the same page.
Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I find the search really easy to use, and it can pull up information from one project or across many projects. I also appreciate using Notion AI to summarize information from past projects that I can use going forward and things like proposals or requests for information. If I'm on a call for a project, I can very quickly pull up answers to questions I might not otherwise know the answer to. I can also find relevant information to include in the discussion and afterwards, I use it to consolidate all of the information that I just shared on that call.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing major right now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion provides a centralized place for my project notes, structures data efficiently, and makes it easy to share collaboration pages. Its search feature quickly finds information, and Notion AI summarizes past projects for future use.
Straightforward, User-Friendly Experience
What do you like best about the product?
it is very straightforward and very user friendly
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is complex to have duplicate a page and I do not like the export function since does not give what i really want to see when I exported
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is very useful to see everything under one is place plus easy to navigate or edit a layers to create our own company templates, notion ai was incredibly helpful to create pages as well
Love the Experience, but Notification System Needs to be more effective
What do you like best about the product?
Good tool to collaborate across the team, scheduling shared calendars, and tracking progress of tasks where multiple contributors are involved. Its is easy to use and self-explanatory.
What do you dislike about the product?
A notification system, when deadlines are approaching or when tasks are overdue, I never get notified/ do not know how to set up notifications unless I open the app. The sub-projects are sometimes not seen easily while looking at an overview of projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as a project management tool within our marketing team. It does a good job with enough flexibility and options to create projects and link (drive/social etc) and assign roles to other team members.
AI-Powered Efficiency Booster for Work and Life
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion for everything, and I love the AI Writing assistant, which speeds up drafting and polishing emails and outreach without losing my style. The AI assistant is a game-changer, helping me build new functionality and speeding up the learning curve and production of databases and templates. I also appreciate the knowledge management and enterprise search features for quickly finding documents and information when I need it. Dashboards are another great feature, helping me visualize and centralize data points. I highly recommend Notion for both work and life, and with the AI helping to build, it's easier to set up now.
What do you dislike about the product?
A 'reverse' / undo feature would be helpful. I wish there was a function like in Word where you can 'undo' your last changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for managing, organizing, and capturing data. The AI Writing assistant speeds up drafting and learning, while dashboards help visualize and centralize data points. It's integrated with Gmail and other AI models for seamless functionality.
A Lifesaver for Note-Taking and Organization
What do you like best about the product?
I use Notion to record notes during conversations as a sales account executive which helps me stay organized. I find it super helpful that I don't have to take notes while on calls, allowing me to focus on listening. The way Notion organizes my notes is extremely helpful for keeping records. I love the feature for sharing notes with others, making it seamless to stay organized. Leveraging the AI to search within notes to find exactly the information I am looking for is helpful and saves me a ton of time so I don't have to relisten to calls. The initial setup was very easy, and the automatic pop-ups for recording during calls are extremely helpful. I rate Notion a 10 because it's the best tool I've used thus far.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think having a way to customize it to do exactly what I need, especially in terms of gathering information during a call, would be helpful. It would be helpful if the system could listen for certain questions I ask that pertain to my information gathering or what I'm currently selling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to record notes, which helps me stay organized and focus on listening during calls. It organizes my notes, offers great sharing features, and the AI search saves me time by laying out everything I need without relistening to calls.
Helpful AI Voice Notes and Meeting Summaries, but Navigation Could Be Clearer
What do you like best about the product?
AI voice note feature really useful for taking notes during meetings, great summary of meetings
What do you dislike about the product?
I still find the navigation not as straightforward as I’d like
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to summarise calls and instantly share with team
Intuitive and Versatile, Perfect for Knowledge Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like the intuitiveness and flexibility that Notion provides. It's not just a one-tool platform but has many possible uses, which I plan to make good use of. It was easy to set up and understand, offering a lot of connections and an API for creating connections when they're missing. Notion can be used as a knowledge base storage system, backlog storage/organizer, roadmap, and more. I would definitely recommend Notion to friends or colleagues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some more standard integrations, specifically into the Microsoft tools would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to manage a backlog with incomplete stories, making step-by-step changes easily. It's intuitive, flexible, and serves as a knowledge base, backlog organizer, roadmap, and more.
