I'm not an active promoter but Notion is a really worthwhile app
What do you like best about the product?
It's a MS Word on steroids. I can use Notion to create fancy pages for others to read: instructions, post mortems, rules, plans, lessons, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it messes up with Grammarly or other text browser extensions.
It also didn't work as a project management tool for our team. We use the Linear instead.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Notion, content creation became insanely fast. I use it for instructions for other people: team members or students.
Its the easiest way to manage my organization data
What do you like best about the product?
The way to create databases and text formatting, and when i want to share documents it's powerful, I love the views of the databases like gallery and table, and with the free version, i can do many things :)
What do you dislike about the product?
The simple table needs an upgrade because any time causes frustration when I try to use features that I am used to by other apps like google docs, you should upgrade that

Great
What do you like best about the product?
I can manage all things I need for work and for my personal life. We have almost all our company data in notion, for example, managing all tasks, backlogs, data about products, and customer support data (we collect it there, because then it goes in backlog).
What do you dislike about the product?
It usually falls down if I have opened a few pages of notion in the browser (chrome). For example, I need to plan tasks for a week for developers, and in one page, I open weekly planning, and on another kanban desk to orientate. And then one of them is freezing, and nothing helps.
Also, it became not handy to create kanban desks for four and more columns, I need to open settings and properties, and then I don't even remember, I have to open the answer video from your support.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Everything for my team in one place. Don't need to switch to different places to work. And it's easy to use. Don't need to pay for many services either. And also I can see everuthing my team does, because all pages are opened for everyone. Everybody knows everything what's going on
Makes sharing documents and ideas very easy
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is the ease of sharing documents and getting a doc in shape with minimal effort. Since, I am a coder and the people that I share documents with are also coders, working with Notion feels very intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the way tables works in Notion. They look very nice and easy to use to but at the same time it feels like being stuck inside a walled garden. The tables are not flexible if you want to use them for some specific tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I did not like Google Docs and Word because there is a significant overhead associated with creating a new document and then formatting and everything. Notion provides very limited number of options in terms of formatting and the UI is overall nice so it's much easy to share your ideas with other people.
Strong Product Management/Intranet Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is powerful, easy to use once you learn the / system, and can accomplish most tasks you might want to use it for
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion could use more call outs in the platform to educate people on how to use the different features. Note taking could be cleaner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps our team keep documents & Projects organized - it helps us by providing a simple, searchable system to hold important information.
Excellent multi-authoring tool, clean interface, but still full of great features
What do you like best about the product?
What brough tme to Notion was finding a multi-authoring tool, which my teammates and I could all work in at the same time. What caused me to quickly expand use from just my EA and I to the rest of my team, was it's extensive features set and great teamworking ability.
What do you dislike about the product?
The weakest part is the security. It does not have 2FA (well, only for G-Suite users). I was going to write an article in a major publication for lawyers, but this single feature caused me to hold back. My company doesn't have sensitive information stored in our Notion notes, so this is not a major issue, but it should be for many businesses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multi-user authoring and a really clean, but still powerful user interface.
A great and flexible app for taking notes and keeping track of things
What do you like best about the product?
The writing was a delight. There are several techniques to make pages aesthetically pleasing and logical. RDBMS is an excellent method to track the connections between several projects, individuals, and concepts. I cannot recommend it enough.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting new employees started and the high level of flexibility makes things hard for first-time users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion assists us in handling the challenge of gaining a broad perspective. Since we conduct several events yearly, we must be well-organized and have most of our information in order.
We consolidated from Trello & Monday.com to Notion and haven't looked back.
What do you like best about the product?
The most powerful thing about Notion is that you can pretty much do anything with it. We were able to consolidate Marketing, Customer success and the engineering team onto one platform using Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unable to have sequential numbering in a database to use as an ID.
No native way to create graphs for reporting.
Unable to choose which events or actions trigger a Slack notification. We have had to use a 3rd party application to manage this.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously we had multiple systems which had to be connected by applications like Zapier etc. Now we are able to manage everything in one platform, which increases productivity.
A fresh look on database organization.
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Notion in my current company, and it's the most intuitive database tool I've ever seen. Notion helps our team organize work and projects and it is great for brainstorming new ideas as well. There are so many different uses to it, I have only explored a small part of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The amount of pages that are created can be a tricky thing if teams don't know exactly how to track and organize them. At least Notion is creating new ways to organize groups and pages. One thing I don't like is the fact that some changes are sort of "imposed" like the new default split screen view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me brainstorm and keep track of new ideas. It also helps my team keep our database organized and easy to find.
Notion for documentation and task list
What do you like best about the product?
Helps in documentation just like Google docs, can build task list and check task status, can make a reading list and journals
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't resize uploaded images, sometimes documents are not updated in realtime
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting important notes and help in project management
