Just the best
What do you like best about the product?
It's so simple and easy to use. You can do anything on it. Notion AI is amazing
What do you dislike about the product?
The app seems to crash a lot, but the web version is amazing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping me be better at my job
Efficiency maximized utilizing Notion's AI Writing Assistant
What do you like best about the product?
I find particular benefit in Notions flexibility for being used a broad number of tasks as well as the built in AI assistance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The vast number of building blocks that make the software so flexible are also difficult to learn and therefore utilize to their maximum potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion has made my email drafting and response to technical requests for information far more efficient and clear. My number one use case is composing notes with my technical answers, expertise, and thoughts and then using the Ai writing assistance to format, compose, and grammatically fix my unstructured notes in order to issue formal response. Recently Notion has also solved many of my real time notetaking challenges during conference calls. Additionally, managing project tasks and time tracking has been made far simpler with the notion and notion calendar combo system. I am able to building out more accurately what I worked on throughout the day without breaking my workflow and then retroactively document my time in our companies software. My tasks and priorities are frequently changing throughout the day and Notion calendar makes is easy to adjust fluidly.
Strong internal tool and resource-rich "home-base"
What do you like best about the product?
The AI Writing Assistant and most AI functionality within Notion makes it extremely easy to create, edit, and find info I need. I use it every day and it's been very easy to learn and implement/integrate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much! The only thing I've come across is formatting can get a little wonky. If there was a toggle button to either choose my ability to keep the existing text format in a copy/paste scenario, or change the format to a default version, that'd be a helpful feature. I have not yet needed or tried using Customer Support to be able to speak on it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It consolidates all needed internal info in a perfectly organized manner and provides efficient tools like AI assistant to use the tool seamlessly.
Excellent all-purpose note tool
What do you like best about the product?
The smoothness of capturing/moving/highlighting text. The easy ability to organize text.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of universal tags/labels. Notion does have tags but only within databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have to do a lot of writing, months ahead of time, on multiple subjects, and it's like a giant super notebook that allows me to keep things in order.
Flexible, Customizable, and Researcher-Friendly: A Powerful e-Lab Notebook with Room to Grow
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has become the central hub for managing my research workflow. As an electronic lab notebook (e-LN), it’s highly adaptable—I use linked databases to track experiments, literature reviews, project milestones, and protocols, all in one place. The ability to create custom views (calendar, timeline, Kanban) and tag entries by type or status allows me to visualize my work dynamically. It’s especially powerful when combined with versioned file storage, cross-platform access, and the integration of structured templates. Unlike rigid ELN platforms, Notion gives me the flexibility to build a system that aligns exactly with how I think and work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion’s performance degrades when handling very large pages or embedded content-heavy databases. There’s also limited offline functionality, which can be disruptive in environments with unstable internet. While Notion excels at flexibility, it lacks native scientific features like experiment timers, chemical structure rendering, or protocol version control, which more specialized ELN platforms offer. Export options are also limited when it comes to generating clean, formatted lab reports or PDFs for compliance or archiving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion solves the fragmentation problem in academic and lab work. Before, I relied on separate tools for note-taking, task tracking, protocol management, and project planning. Now, everything lives in one unified system. I’ve built a modular, searchable electronic lab notebook that allows me to track experiments by date, tag literature by topic, log progress across multiple projects, and centralize protocols—all cross-linked and version-controlled. This has improved my ability to plan experiments, retrieve information quickly, and maintain reproducibility and traceability in my research. It’s also significantly reduced administrative overhead and cognitive load.

Notion for an early days start up
What do you like best about the product?
I like how many options there are for project management. It seems to have combined all the main project management apps in one place and integrates very well with current workflows. It has been great for managing the company and for planning.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are so many options which is great, but there also seems to be a very steep learning curve and a lot that you need to know how to do to be able to use 100% of it's potential. It would be great if there is better training/intro in the beginning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me keep all our records and planning in one place.
Easy to user and vision friendly
What do you like best about the product?
One thing i absolutely love about Notion is the easy of use and how it can be implemented into almost any team. It is a great way to collaborate and stay efficient. Moreover, I think the Notion AI integration has been great. Since I work in a software company, there is a lot of data and hard to navigate and find it sometimes - through the Notion AI, you can go ahead and quickly find the answers you are searching for. Definitely recommend it!
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be overcrowded sometimes but the Notion AI does help decrease that and make it more efficient.
