What do you like best about the product?

Very flexible. There is always a way to organize work and information. Extremely useful for both personal and work activities.

What do you dislike about the product?

There is a learning curve. You don't know what you don't know. Users need to play with it to learn how it works. Users must also watch walkthroughs and tutorials to better understand Notion's different capabilities.

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

A lot of infermoation or actions have overlap with other areas of my life. Filters help simplify this. The information I need on the go, is on my phone. I can continue to work, build information and work areas from the PC version.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion can be used for a diversity of tasks and purposes! I use it in my professional life and that made me want to start using it in my personal life!
databases are my favorite because it makes anything easy to track and organize! from budget to workflows to tracking how much water I drink daily! When i first started using notion about 5 months ago, I had no prior experience, and now I use it every day and feel like a pro!

What do you dislike about the product?

i use a lot of automations in Notion which is super helpful! but i did notice that building the automations is not the most user friendly or intuitive. there is a way to work around that and learn how the system works, but it takes some time

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

trackability. Notion does wonders for tracking different types of workflows or even just tasks in my daily life! automations on my enterprise account are hugeee time saver and make everything super clear and concise. we have automations for meeting agendas and tasks. we also have automations for identifying types of data.

What do you like best about the product?

Easy navigation and search through the platform

What do you dislike about the product?

Currently no way to draw diagrams (I require a lof of design diagrams to be on my documentation and current use another tool and copy paste a screenshot)

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

One stop shop for an enterprise to read through documentation and have a knowledge transfer of tools/services

What do you like best about the product?

I like using Notion for building searchable databases with multiple views. I also think Notion has the best branding out there, but unfortunately the product doesn't live up to the branding for me.

What do you dislike about the product?

I hate how difficult it is to find tools in Notion. Things I can do in one click from the toolbar in Google docs takes me so many more steps in Notion — except for the few tasks I've done enough to figure out their hotkeys. I spend more time googling and asking ChatGPT if Notion can do things and how to then do those things than I spend on my actual content, and that feels like a dealbreaker. I find building and using tables and databases extremely frustrating as well. In theory, it seems like you can make those things more elegant and versatile than they are in Google sheets, but again, I spend more time trying to figure out how to build those things than I do on the things I'm building them for.

I've been using Notion daily for work for the last two years, and I still feel lost in there every time I have to make anything from scratch. Perhaps if I was making tables in there everyday, I'd feel more confident, but I'm not, and so while that's the one thing I especially like using in Notion, it's still a frustrating and confusing process everytime I go to make a new table or database in Notion and there's only been one instance where I've been completely happy with how all the fields turned out. In most cases I have fields or columns that feel like a major compromise.

I also don't like how limited it is on font sizes, styles and highlight colors. I know that makes documents look cleaner in the end, but I find it more difficult to flag things and mark things because of that. And even something as simple as choosing a text style feels confusing since the headline options are separate from the highlight options. I often feel like I'm fighting with Notion even when writing up a simple, straightforward document.

If I didn't have to use Notion for work, I wouldn't use it. It feels like it's style over substance, and I much prefer just using something simpler like Google Docs and Sheets, even if they aren't as fashionable.

And fwiw, I'm a video editor and producer. I can't code and sometimes can't figure out how to reset my wifi, but I use multiple editing platforms and generally find that I pick up software faster than most. I also love making spreadsheets and getting organized, but unfortunately something has never clicked with me and Notion, and I just feel lost, stupid and stuck when I have to create anything in there.

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

We use Notion as a knowledge base at my company. It is nice for that. But as I mentioned in my general feedback, it doesn't feel like it's worth it for how difficult it is to use.

What do you like best about the product?

I love of flexible and organized it is and how I can integrate it with the canvas software very easily.

What do you dislike about the product?

There is a steep learning curve with Notion, but I think it's necessary so there can be so many uses for it.

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

It organizes my schedule or notes and can turn those notes into flashcards.

What do you like best about the product?

• I love the organization of Notion and the sub-pages ability.
• I love the existing type styling
• The databases' properties that show up within an item's page is very useful
• The collaborative of Notion is great in comparison to some other documentation tools

What do you dislike about the product?

• I dislike how hard it is to use databases: the items within databases cannot be moved to another database, once it's a full page database it's not intuitive to change it to an inline-database
• Sometimes it Notion feels clunky (the UX interactions, e.g. moving 1 text chunk to a difference column)
• I wish Notion had more styling capabilities (e.g. being able to add bullet points or images into tables, being able to adjust cell padding when I add another column)
• I do not need AI in Notion, I find it quite upsetting and useless

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

• I often need a centralized place to store information and Notion is my first choice, then GSuite (the share function's UX is a lot nicer than Google Docs)
• Being able to upload PDFs, Figma links, preview various images is incredibly useful for meeting notes

What do you like best about the product?

The simplicity and cleanliness. It just looks much better than Google Docs.

What do you dislike about the product?

The lack of options sometimes kills me. For instance, I'd like to use my own fonts, but I can't.

also, the table element could be done in a much better way.

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

Notion for our company is solving the project of having our knowledge consolidated in one place.

Before, we used to use Google Docs, but that didn't soolve the problemn well.

What do you like best about the product?

I really love being able to make both private and public content in Notion. It's easy to see change history over time and revert previous versions. It's also really flexible in use with options to create a table of pages, integrate with other systems, and has a lot of really great out of the box functions like formatting and data types you can use.

We use Notion as our core document repository for product documentation and even use it for our own person use like task tracking and 1:1 notes.

What do you dislike about the product?

With our large volume of documentation in Notion, it can be hard to search for content at times. Optimizing titles is really important when there are 1000s of pages to search through.

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

Great knowledge base platform that is accessible to all users and allows for collaboration across teams

What do you like best about the product?

The comfort of knowing that majority of my ideas and those are in one location and i have the ability to use notion AI to help me expand and refine my ideas.

What do you dislike about the product?

I wish the automations were a little broader in use and more flexible.

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

Staying organized and informed

What do you like best about the product?

I like the organizational system with toggles that allow you to essentially capture and collapse various connected documents. It is vastly faster than migrating between documents, but essentially allows you to categorize and connect documents with ease.

What do you dislike about the product?

There is a bit of a learning curve on how to best use the system for organization.

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

The problem is capturing needed knowledge within a large multi product engineering organization.
