What do you dislike about the product?
• Does not have a high end graphical interface that is visually appealing and intuitive for the end users (team previously utilized Monday.com for program management)
• Limited functions for formulas make performing what are quick calculations in spreadsheets complex or not possible
• Limits (e.g. recursion errors, copying and pasting exceeding an undefined threshold) restrict what is possible in Notion
• Databases and pages can be extremely slow to load and we are extremely concerned that as our databases grow that this challenge will get worse
• Inability to merge cells
• Unable to utilize automations for all types of fields (e.g. formulas)
• Notion AI is inconsistent and prone to hallucinating requiring manual check and verification
• Would like to be able to have relations between more than 2 databases (e.g. ability to edit the same field in 3 different databases)

Not as such - but the only thing is that it's not a must have tool - small organisations can do without it too as google workspace can provide almost all these offerings.

Notion our go-to tool for all the company resources. All the processes, database and every small change is documented on Notion and has helped us in improving adoption. New AI note taking feature has drastically reduced the manual efforts and time taken to document project meetings.
Best Software as a Student & Business Owner
What do you like best about the product?
I have used it as a student and a busy professional. It has been incredibly helpful for every aspect from notetaking to AI assistance to spice up my writing to drafting professional emails based on my work embeded. It is one of the best investments I have made as both clients and my business partners can collaborate with me effectively and securely

Flexible and reliable workspace tool

Notion provides the flexibility to organise everything in one place including daily tasks, projects, documents and many more things. It syncs across all the devices which makes it possible to make changes even in a smartphone. The templates save much time as well.

As there are so many features, it makes the app a little bit less beginner friendly. New users may take some time before getting used to it

To organise work projects and databases effectively
A Great Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love using Notion AI. It has helped me to build a lot of process flows quickly.

Sometimes too many options and duplicating pages with team spaces can be difficult with removing permissions.

Building out Notion pages with work flows has been a huge help.

A Game-Changer for Organization and Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is incredibly flexible—it's like having a customizable digital workspace that adapts to whatever you need, whether that's project management, note-taking, content planning, or even creating lightweight databases. The ability to combine text, tables, tasks, and embeds in a single page makes it easy to centralize information. I also love the collaborative features; editing in real time with my team feels seamless, and the comments/mentions keep everyone on the same page. Its template library is also a huge time-saver, letting me start projects with a solid structure right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion’s UX can feel a bit plain and uninspiring visually—especially compared to tools with more vibrant design cues. Additionally, it can sometimes be slow to load, particularly for large workspaces or pages with heavy content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Notion, I juggled multiple tools for notes, task management, and documentation. Notion consolidates all of that into one platform, reducing tool-switching and keeping my workflow much more organized. It’s also helped my team centralize project documentation, making it easier for new members to get up to speed without digging through scattered files. The transparency and visibility across projects have significantly improved our productivity and reduced communication gaps.
Notion review of transcription and document import
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of transcription and summary. We will be using it daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not having OCR to import signed documents that were scanned as a pdf. OneNote has the ability to print file into it and convert into searchable format.
It requires a lot of knowledge to learn how to use the best options of data organization.

Notion for AI workflows
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Notion for a while now, and like how well it integrates with Python via the Notion API as well as with low code tools like Zapier and Make.com. I have used Notion to develop automation workflows with OpenAI, and it has worked seamlessly. I love the fact that databases can be created using Notion. Moreover, it can be seamlessly integrated with monitoring tools like Grafana, enabling real-time alerts in Slack.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too many customized views and custom databases can confuse people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to set up databases for small to medium projects
The ability to integrate with platforms seamlessly
The speed with which integrations can be done

I have ditched Google Docs after working on Notion.
What do you like best about the product?
Since I work as a learning specialist in an edtech startup, our LMS is connected with Notion. Everything we write in Notion is visible on the platform.
The best things, in simple words, are:
I can embed a lot of different things like H5P, videos, etc.
The stackable way of creating content—I can create a page under a page under a page, which is very useful for keeping things organized and aligned.

What do you dislike about the product?
The AI feature is quite costly. You should consider bringing the price down so we don’t have to leave Notion to use ChatGPT.
Two features I would like:
- The ability to delete single cells in a table.
- The option to color each row or column differently, or even color individual cells.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are an edtech company that creates courses for externships for students. Our LMS is connected to Notion, so all the content we create in Notion is directly uploaded to the LMS. This integration allows us to work primarily in Notion all day, streamlining our workflow and eliminating the need to manually transfer content between platforms.
