What do you like best about the product?

The databases are great. It really is the leg up that Notion has, as well as the ability to create and utilize template pages.

What do you dislike about the product?

The databases are so finicky. Databases also don't always make sense to utilize, but the tables are so wildly basic that you are forced to use the databases when they may not be necessary. I also think that Notion feels extremely overwhelming to people because of "+" options.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is wonderful for Product Requirement Documents. It solves my needs for internal Product, Design, and Engineering collaboration and documentation, but definitely feels too complex for non-technical teams (x-functional stakeholders) to utilize.

What do you like best about the product?

I love how easy it is to create simple pages and organise data in a nice looking way.

What do you dislike about the product?

Given that my profession is that of a software engineer when dealing with more versatile tools I am used to being able to do exactly what I want. In Notion you are somewhat locked into doing it exactly the way notion wants you to. Often this is enough, but many people give off the impression that you can use Notion to do "anything" or that it can solve all note taking or organisational issues but I don't think so. Also it strikes me as lame that we are forced to have a Name collumn in each database especially since it can just be left blank for all items.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organisation of notes, writing, planning etc. Both work and personal projects.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is easy to get started and is seriously well documented, so for the most part you can usually find what you need to know on Youtube or other tutorials. It's easier to link databases together than you would think and there are some good templates out there.

What do you dislike about the product?

It's not so much the functionality, but to get the best out of Notion you really do need to understand the basics of databases. I'm not really a database expert so I often have to look things up.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a small business owner and consultant I find most of the 'off the peg' systems are too feature rich and complicated for my requirements. I'm using Notion to fulfill a lot of the functions that I'd spread over multiple tools like timesheets, CRM and project management all within one environment.

What do you like best about the product?

I am a former programmer. Now in the startup COO and Co-Founder position, we needed some business "ERP" that would suit our needs. Well, here it is - you can connect and reference any data anywhere and never waste energy with searching and duplicates.

What do you dislike about the product?

As Notion is powerful to customize, this can also be a productivity issue. You have to be aware, if your are building a sustainable workspace that is bulletproof.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Handling with business data and tasks.

What do you like best about the product?

A colleague turned me on to trying out Notion, and from that very seedling of a first page I edited, I've used Notion extensively and continued to bloom with it — even written the equivalent of a few novels in it. It's compiled features I've used in other tools, and made them a lot more elegant and streamlined.

Historically, I'd often get frustrated with how Google Docs, Zendesk, and others mangled my formatting, with unpleasant errors galore. By copypasting the same stuff into Notion, I could essentially clean up that detritus. And there's NO separate "publish" step, a page has live-editing! (You can always do a "staging/test" on a separate page, if need be.) Plus, making pages public or targeting shares is super-easy.

My business uses of Notion include project management for task tracking (via card columns), comprehensive user documentation (and the process of translating it from internal ➜ external consumption), and presenting ideas. On the home front, my wife and I also used it to write and edit our wedding vows, record proof of stuff needing repair, and so on. In short, there were times I was getting involved with another tool, then went — "Why, Notion can already do that! Just use Notion!" And one of my favorite uses of Notion is keeping track of my musical productions, serializing them with annotations, so I'm clear on what's almost done, what needs to be delivered, and what I might just be mucking around with.

I get excited at new Notion features adding value (tip: stay tuned to https://www.notion.so/releases !) and not overcomplicating the mix. I've seen other tools where the balance tipped a certain way and obfuscation got in the way of a good thing. So its growth trajectory over the years has been promising.

I like how I can drag audio files directly into Notion. I'm disappointed at what other tools (like Nuclino and Miro) to date still don't support us sound citizens.

The use of emojis, colors, and visual elements makes pages a lot more colorful and memorable — and dare I say, even fun!

Overall and importantly, Notion makes it easy for different departments to get involved, including team members that consider themselves "non-technical". It hasn't raised hackles like other tools with a jagged learning curve that are "unintuitive".

The backup feature is reassuring, something you don't think about going in, but you'll need it down the line if your data is even remotely precious to you.

Support has usually been quite helpful to me, and my many questions across time. Sometimes they'll overcomplicate matters by asking for unnecessary info on a small obvious thing... but I know it's just because they want to learn more. Better to err on the side of overcommunication, right? :D

What do you dislike about the product?

I wish we could add more custom styling — not going crazy, but custom colors with exact RGB values for text and solid background colors would make a big difference with matching branding. I know there are 3rd-party tools that aim to address these needs and things like custom domain names, but having it integrated seems really fundamental.

Also, when I last checked, there wasn't a way to see original code used for IFRAMES, which seems terribly clunky, since it means I have to store that code somewhere else (like in a separate Notion page), or risk it being obfuscated. This matters for anyone using embeds like Bandcamp and SoundCloud widgets with custom parameters.

But on the whole, Notion has been awesome!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

See the "What do you like best?" section above, where I address that. To summarize, even though I've used it for many things (just about all the main advertised use cases!): at present, Notion helps me organize and retrieve loose pieces of data in an approachable and neat way, like turning various Slack messages into a fully-formed help article, and keeping my projects moving forward.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion is a must productivity software for businesses or students. I use it as note-taking software for my study (Computer Science); the thing I love most is that you can create as many databases as you want, and it is possible to do a lot of operations with the data.

What do you dislike about the product?

The part I don't like is that it is not as famous as other productivity software that offers less. It doesn't have many features, but I am sure the developer will add them in the following months.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it as note-taking in my university path. I'm a computer science student, and it helps me to create tables with automatic functions and roadmaps for my projects

What do you like best about the product?

The UIX is really nice, and all the functionality makes it easy to merge and upgrade most of companies worklfow.

What do you dislike about the product?

There's still functionality that are missing but Notion team is working actively on adding requested features.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion helped us organize all our processes and files and allowed us to have a single place truth.

What do you like best about the product?

Everyone in our company putting together their piece of the puzzle to make the work easier and more effective for colleagues.

What do you dislike about the product?

Putting together statistic. There are not enough automation solution, like how I want it to.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am working with statistic so i reached out to the notion support and they told me that they were working with a '+ button' that you could produce inside a table.

What do you like best about the product?

1. Elegant UIUX, Layout, Simplicity inflows and Structures
2. Necessary Templates
3. Efficient cross-team collaboration
4. Team Management
5. Billing System
6. Support

What do you dislike about the product?

1. No apple pencil support
2. Not able to import Apple notes to notion documents
3. Web Plugin to take notes while research
4. No Grammer Check or Integration of any other grammar check application on desktop application

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The notion is to help us to solve documentation clutter issues across the team in the organisation. Our organisation-wide documentation/knowledge base was fragmented across all teams. Collaboration/Access/Sharing and keeping the logs of these were challenging for us.
We have used multiple documentation tools for managing and creating our documentation but due to a lack of features and complexity team were facing the issue. So most of the team members are using Notion for their personal purpose and everyone is very well versed with Notion so we took the decision to move our documentation stack to Notion. Due to this, we minimize the onboarding and training time on Notion and the feature richness allows us to do more creative things on Notion.

What do you like best about the product?

What i like best is the ability to build a Quick Brief for clients, based on previous template
Also tool is simple but you can create much more complex page including database, formula; it will compete with excel but again for fast and clear presentation, this is very handy
Is it a very nice tool for marketing overall

What do you dislike about the product?

1)You can't create Folder!!
Ask for this request many times, but it just seems to be an essential feature;
right now, we have only pages that could work potentially as a "folder," but the thing is, many pages for one marketing project will have different teams involved with different lvl of access, so you don't want to have all your pages regroup in one page only as sub pages (i can't go into detail but this will surely be an issue for you if, like me, you manage different teams with different permission) , you want a simple folder, and this will change so many things

2) Some features don't seems to be on point and/or logical
* the ability to create your own template
* When you duplicate a page and make changes, but it applies to both page
* when you charge an existing Database for one specific project, make some modification, and this applies to the original database as well!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to share online with many teams a marketing strategy including different layers of access
Share draft easily among client
I save time compared to my previous way of work (which was via group channel & drive )
