There was a pre- and post-Notion way of working
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to take notes, but I especially like the fact that you can easily link documents and tables from different pages, so you're not limited to a linear way of storing your notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion doesn't replace your "to-do" list and it takes a bit to become fully familiar with all the different functions Notion has. Other than that, I can definitely recommend it. The support in general is very helpful in case something happened
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing and reviewing information in a business setting is always important. Notion plays a large part in the way we collaborate in our remote company.
A lot more than a simple OneNote clone

It allows my team to efficently coordinate
Notion is theone-stop shop for team coordination and creativity.
What do you like best about the product?
Full cross-departmental and cross-project integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would love to see Notion implement Google drive connectivity without Zapier or plugins.
We have a lot of databases that live in Google drive, it would be grand to be able to simply point to source data.
Additionally, would love to see the MERGE CSV functionality be able to remove duplicate entries.
All of the above apply.
Would also like to see AI as a native function rather than an upgrade.

Cross department coordination, including planning stages handing off to dev and execution teams.
super versatile platform, with a strong support team
What do you like best about the product?
you can start with a blank page, or use a template. they're always rolling out updates. it's a platform that works for any team or task. it has extensive integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
while there are a wide range of features, a lot of them are half finished. e.g. relations and rollups lack enough functionality to actually be useful. no offline mode.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it's acting as a project management platform for engineering. it maintains our action items, meeting minutes, order tracking, reference guides, and more. It's nice having it all on one service rather than spread across 5

Essential items for organizing and sharing work!
What do you like best about the product?

It is an essential solution that can be quickly expanded to work as simple contents initially written are organized.

For first-time users, it may be difficult to expand and use various functions. It takes time to get used to. But once you get used to it, it is an indispensable item.

Greater with Notion!
What do you like best about the product?
I have enjoyed very much to be able to customize the features to fit my needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I still find it difficult to understand the logic behind the databases. I understood you can have a master and then link this to other pages but I still encounter problems when I do this.
Not related but I dislike the error uploading the screenshot on this review.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management however the scale of it becomes so much easier when you can have everything in one place. I find this ideal not just for business purposes and teams communicating better but for personal project too.
Great tool for documentation
What do you like best about the product?
The customizability of documentation, and the ability to nest and link pages to each other.
Simultaneously editing makes it easy to collaborate with other team members remotely.

What do you dislike about the product?
When Guests who own pages on notion leave the workspace, pages become inaccessible to members.
Sharing pages with guests after recent updates may accidentally add them as members of the workspace due to the UI changes

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are keeping documentation up to date and adding interactive elements to keep members engaged while reading lengthy documents.
Keeps our documentation organized instead of a folder of word docs.

Great tool for internal documentation
What do you like best about the product?
There's a lot to like about Notion compared to most wikis I've dealt with:
* Great typography
* Easy to understand the version history
* Block formatting
* Solid media handling (especially like the SVG support)

What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest pet peeve: You can easily nest pages inside each other, creating self-explanatory hierarchies, but there's no way to have it expand the sidebar to show where your current location.
I don't fully understand their data model, and sometimes it seems you need to. For example, you'll find you cannot delete a column from a table. I guess the tables are implemented as a database, and it picked that field as the primary identifer which you cannot delete. So you have to swap things around to get your actual identifer in that column and then delete the other column.
I wish they had a clear pattern for user-specific pages. For example, I can create a private page and manually add people to it, but it would be nice if each user had a page by default and could create children for specific topics.
There's some kind of glitchy behavior around the auto conversion from Markdown, especially if you paste in sections with code formatting. It tries to turn code blocks into inline code and makes a bit of mess.

My team uses it for almost all of our architecture and planning docs. We can easily include screen shots, videos and architectural diagrams. The commenting features make it easy to discuss specific bits.
