What do you like best about the product?

It is so fun and easy to use! I can not only reorganize tables of data but it's been very useful to move around text, from sentences to entire walls of paragraphs. It's syncing across devices has also not failed me yet, which I appreciate since I always have issues with other services not saving my most recent edits.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing so far. It has accomplished what I've needed and expected from it, for personal use anyway. I guess the only non-issue is the persistence and repeating of deleted pages in the bin, but that's not too bad.

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

Being able to reorganize tables, lists and paragraphs with ease. There's also a kind of dashboard where you can add cards of information, which is useful for studying purposes and has helped keep track with art commissions.

What do you like best about the product?

Databases are perfect for managing tasks and workflows, which in other software are less customizable. Another preferential factor is the ability to format the page as you want, with many elements, always with a view to having a tailor-made work environment.

What do you dislike about the product?

Having many different places to put tasks, but not being able to merge them into a single database.
Another thing that can be annoying is not knowing how much Notion can allow you to scale in terms of numbers and management; it would be nice to have a better view of what and how much you can do.

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

Notion offers a platform to manage a very particular workflow, which needs a lot of information to keep track of and allows the whole team to add their piece to the completion and progress of the task.
Indeed it makes it preferable to other platforms precisely because of the robust customization, from what is the insertion of properties to the use of formulas that create detailed data and do not require a passage on the spreadsheets, keeping all the data on a single platform.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is easy to get started and is seriously well documented, so for the most part you can usually find what you need to know on Youtube or other tutorials. It's easier to link databases together than you would think and there are some good templates out there.

What do you dislike about the product?

It's not so much the functionality, but to get the best out of Notion you really do need to understand the basics of databases. I'm not really a database expert so I often have to look things up.

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

As a small business owner and consultant I find most of the 'off the peg' systems are too feature rich and complicated for my requirements. I'm using Notion to fulfill a lot of the functions that I'd spread over multiple tools like timesheets, CRM and project management all within one environment.

What do you like best about the product?

A colleague turned me on to trying out Notion, and from that very seedling of a first page I edited, I've used Notion extensively and continued to bloom with it — even written the equivalent of a few novels in it. It's compiled features I've used in other tools, and made them a lot more elegant and streamlined.

Historically, I'd often get frustrated with how Google Docs, Zendesk, and others mangled my formatting, with unpleasant errors galore. By copypasting the same stuff into Notion, I could essentially clean up that detritus. And there's NO separate "publish" step, a page has live-editing! (You can always do a "staging/test" on a separate page, if need be.) Plus, making pages public or targeting shares is super-easy.

My business uses of Notion include project management for task tracking (via card columns), comprehensive user documentation (and the process of translating it from internal ➜ external consumption), and presenting ideas. On the home front, my wife and I also used it to write and edit our wedding vows, record proof of stuff needing repair, and so on. In short, there were times I was getting involved with another tool, then went — "Why, Notion can already do that! Just use Notion!" And one of my favorite uses of Notion is keeping track of my musical productions, serializing them with annotations, so I'm clear on what's almost done, what needs to be delivered, and what I might just be mucking around with.

I get excited at new Notion features adding value (tip: stay tuned to https://www.notion.so/releases !) and not overcomplicating the mix. I've seen other tools where the balance tipped a certain way and obfuscation got in the way of a good thing. So its growth trajectory over the years has been promising.

I like how I can drag audio files directly into Notion. I'm disappointed at what other tools (like Nuclino and Miro) to date still don't support us sound citizens.

The use of emojis, colors, and visual elements makes pages a lot more colorful and memorable — and dare I say, even fun!

Overall and importantly, Notion makes it easy for different departments to get involved, including team members that consider themselves "non-technical". It hasn't raised hackles like other tools with a jagged learning curve that are "unintuitive".

The backup feature is reassuring, something you don't think about going in, but you'll need it down the line if your data is even remotely precious to you.

Support has usually been quite helpful to me, and my many questions across time. Sometimes they'll overcomplicate matters by asking for unnecessary info on a small obvious thing... but I know it's just because they want to learn more. Better to err on the side of overcommunication, right? :D

What do you dislike about the product?

I wish we could add more custom styling — not going crazy, but custom colors with exact RGB values for text and solid background colors would make a big difference with matching branding. I know there are 3rd-party tools that aim to address these needs and things like custom domain names, but having it integrated seems really fundamental.

Also, when I last checked, there wasn't a way to see original code used for IFRAMES, which seems terribly clunky, since it means I have to store that code somewhere else (like in a separate Notion page), or risk it being obfuscated. This matters for anyone using embeds like Bandcamp and SoundCloud widgets with custom parameters.

But on the whole, Notion has been awesome!

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

See the "What do you like best?" section above, where I address that. To summarize, even though I've used it for many things (just about all the main advertised use cases!): at present, Notion helps me organize and retrieve loose pieces of data in an approachable and neat way, like turning various Slack messages into a fully-formed help article, and keeping my projects moving forward.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is a must productivity software for businesses or students. I use it as note-taking software for my study (Computer Science); the thing I love most is that you can create as many databases as you want, and it is possible to do a lot of operations with the data.

What do you dislike about the product?

The part I don't like is that it is not as famous as other productivity software that offers less. It doesn't have many features, but I am sure the developer will add them in the following months.

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

I use it as note-taking in my university path. I'm a computer science student, and it helps me to create tables with automatic functions and roadmaps for my projects

What do you like best about the product?

You can easily manage everything in one place to get more stuff done for personal matters an business. Notion really helps our team thrive with wiki's and internal documents as it is an easy to use application for web. Support is very helpful but could be improved.

What do you dislike about the product?

It can sometimes be complicated to use and not very user friendly as some people like it to be. SSO can be complex to setup however support helped us with this. Support could be a lot faster as it takes very long for them to respond to their highest plan customers.

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

It helps us collaborate on docs company documents. Notion really helps our team thrive with wiki's and internal documents as it is an easy to use application for web. Support is very helpful but could be improved.

What do you like best about the product?

It is so easy to share information with everyone around our business, which means in my operational role, people don't come to me all the time with questions. They can find out the answers for themselves! It also makes running projects very simple – the one-stop shop for all information.

What do you dislike about the product?

I don't like that moving different modules around the page can be quite tricky and that the number of options for customisation are quite limited. However, this may be my naievity.

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

Knowledge hub and project management.

It means that people aren't coming to me with lots of questions anymore, and they can all find all the information that they need. It also means we can more easily keep all of our policies up to date.

Project management before was a nightmare. There was no centralised place to store everything which meant a lot of back and forth between colleagues

What do you like best about the product?

Notion has to be by far the most versatile and useful tool that I know of in the "productivity tools" category. It has so many features and functions and combines all the best parts of Google Docs/Sheets, Airtable, and Apple Notes all in one well-designed app.

It's amazing for storing knowledge in so many different forms, and it's been a huge help in staying on top of projects, especially in creating videos & content. I also LOVE the fact that Notion just keeps on getting better with time - they really listen to their community and keep adding improvements all the time, way more than other apps I've used. The interface is nicely designed and everything just works well.

What do you dislike about the product?

Honestly, very few things come to mind. Up until recently, the one big advantage that other similar apps (like Roam & Obsidian) had going for them was their handy sidebar features, but Notion recently added that as well.

Bi-directional linking doesn't work quite as well as in Roam or Obsidian, that's probably the one big advantage these apps offer - though to be honest, I don't really miss it that much. You can easily link to other pages in Notion, and all of it's other advantages make it a far more useful and versatile tool in my mind.

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

I've started several businesses now and Notion has been integral to all of them. I use it to take notes (using toggle lists), store ideas (using databases), manage video & content creation (using kanban boards), and write newsletters, which I can easily copy/paste with formatting, as Notion uses markdown.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is by far the easiest way to get information presented on screen in a good looking and easy to manage format that allows for collaborative editing by multiple people at the same time.

It's very easy to drop different media types and links into your documents and have Notion simply auto transform it.

What do you dislike about the product?

There is no way to export audit logs to automatically for security visibility.

Working with databases and tables inside Notion is cumbersome and there also isn't any simple way to link different pages to each other.

Each page is completely stand-alone unlike some other platforms that allow interlinking with views.

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

Notion makes collaboration between multiple teams and persons very simple and straight forward in real-time while also making it look good quite simply.

We use it across the business as an Intranet of sorts, storing our processes, documentation and SOP's as well as IT self-help guides for easy user access.

External sharing also works really well.

What do you like best about the product?

Integration of AI into PRDs, documents, tasks have optimised a lot on time to complete and more to near perfection. Blends best of AI into your workflows

What do you dislike about the product?

No major dislikes yet. Notion suits perfect for small to large teams especially for hardware companies which requires strong product management tools

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

Task management
Goals Tracking
Template driven document and data management
