- Would like the reminder function to become better
- Integrations with commonly used softwares such as Slack, Asana, Zoom

Recommendations to others considering the product:
While it is a good collaborative sharing and editing software, it would be worth to check out other softwares as well. Consider your objectives carefully before going for it. You may be looking for a to-do list and a task management system, but this does not exactly serve the full purpose as an Asana.

It's not very customizable and elements of UX are confusing (such as switching accounts).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped us create a basic knowledge base that we eventually transferred to Jira Service Desk. It was problematic in that the UI was too basic to use as a permanent knowledge base.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great to get started and free for students.
Notion is great for documentation!
What do you like best about the product?
I like Notion. We use it in our company for documentation and note-taking

- There are various formats and templates that you can choose from.

What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike Notion because:
- It is hard to track your work. It can get lost. It would be useful to have a directory list of documents made for a certain topic.
- The offline app is buggy. It hangs and loads slowly on my laptop.

Manage your knowledge base with Notion
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is my very first experience of an online knowledge base where there could be multiple contributors to a document. In my previous company we used a very old tool which just showed documents and policies but nobody was allowed to create anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion needs a directory to keep everything organized. There are a lot of documents in Notion that gets lost. There should also be better tracking on the documents. Sometimes I cannot tell what one person has edited into our documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Notion, we are able to collaborate on documents, policies, processes, and the like.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I find Notion difficult to use. I recommend trying other software before committing to this.
Notion is our policy making tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like how notion enables my workmates and I to collaborate on various draft making of policies and processes. There's also strict version control. When a collaborator makes a change, I am notified thru email. You can also see the various changes made by editors of the document.
What do you dislike about the product?
The problem with notion has been its search function. With the vast amounts of data written in our Notion, things are easily lost. Even documents I have written have gotten lost in this ocean of data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is for our corporate knowledge base needs and for note taking. It's easy for people to make notes on a single document at the same time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No recommendations at the moment.
This is what Airtable claims to be
What do you like best about the product?
Notion can be whatever you want or need it to be. Need a database? Done. Pictures, links, etc? Got it. And it'll do you even one better. LIVE. SITE. EMBEDDING. You can embed a window to another site INSIDE a workspace. I've used it to compile lists of CodePen demos and they all work and are interactive...its bananas and I LOVE IT!!
What do you dislike about the product?
The way that notion counts "cells" or whatever they call them is annoying. Every time you press "enter" or "return", it jumps to a new cell, which eats into your limit. Also, there's no way to see what is or isn't included inside a block (had to look it up, they're called blocks) until you click and drag to select text. Only then can you see where the breaks between blocks are.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What haven't I done in Notion would be a better question. I have almost everything to run an entire business in there....if only I could figure out a way to just make it think for me, then it would have EVERYTHING.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the templates, they're a great starting point and they can show you ways to use Notion that you wouldn't have thought of (usually).
It's ALMOST perfect
What do you like best about the product?
The best of Notion is its versatility and ease of use.
I've presented Notion to my team and they've all learned their way easily in a week or two.
Notion has given us the power of having our own wiki, resources library, and timelines for our processes.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is still too new and doesn't have many integrations.
I'd love to connect Notion as an API to an internal service, or to a website.
Also, the possibilities for customizing are limited, I'd love to change styles with CSS or something similar.

Simple, Flexible, Notion
What do you like best about the product?
Using Notion is a delight. It's a very flexible platform, that allows groupings of markdown documents in useful ways.
With simple markdown documents, they support kanban boards, table views, wikis, and more. It allowed our team to consolidate tools, and keep things in one place.
