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
Useful tool for keeping track of all things at work
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration is simple and effective. Keeping track of things across different pages is possible. Ie. You can keep a data table and show different views at different pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
Files sometimes become unavilable! One time some of my files randomly disappeared. But the notion customer support team was helpful and got my files back in less than a week.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is helping my team and myself share all sorts of resources across teams. The free form of notion is helpful because you can create new asset types - which help us customize asset types for very specific use cases.
Practical but requires ramp up
What do you like best about the product?
I love the flexibility of the tool. The ability to customize it to your needs is priceless. It feels mostly intuitive, but of course to get full functionality, you'll need to learn how to use it for a moderate amount of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could be that I simply not aware of the functionality, but I wish there was automation logic so I could set into sequence some tasks based upon a single click of a button or the like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me keep track of complex projects with lots of tasks. I haven't utilized the collaborative functionality of it but I imagine that would be helpful as well.
Notion has been a great documention tool for me.
What do you like best about the product?
It's a digital filing system. You can store pages upon pages within a single document. Once I learned the functions, I could use Notion personally and professionally. I feel like there are endless possibilities with this platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
The notifications aren't great, especially when working on a team project. I would like them to be quicker, especially when information changes within a specific task or project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is excellent for databases for storing information. It's easily accessible, and the customizable formatting options are great for making a document personal.
Notion is a beautiful, powerful replacement for a typical wiki
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has an attractive and snappy UI. I appreciate the power of being able to define databases (tabular data that can be filtered, have related data, etc) defined right within the UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
With all of the power that Notion provides, there are inevitable complexities. Notion is the first wiki-style tool I've used where I felt that training was warranted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion replaces our self-hosted wiki, which means less effort spent by us as an org on managing a wiki, but also the UI is so much better than the wiki we had that more than just engineers can pitch in on documentation. Allowing non-engineers to be included is a huge lift.
Great software for collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Flexible software that allows me to take notes and plan projects, also collaborate with coworkers across departments
What do you dislike about the product?
Databases are still a little basic, could have more excel-like functionality but it doesn't really get in the way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a place to keep everything that is searchable and flexible
