Weird bugs but overall a simple, good, experience

  • August 02, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's simplicity to use. You can just duplicate pages and even without reading through FAQs most of the page creation is relatively intuitive. The support, overall, is good as well
What do you dislike about the product?
At times the support hasn't been great. Switching between different agents for the same problem where I have to reiterate my problem. Also at times things that should be simple seem to be confusing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating a centralised location for our company procedures, rules and policies that anyone in the team can access. It also provides us with a place we can add details for each of our clients to access.

Love it

  • August 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love Notion! It is a combination of so many tools that I love, and it allows me to be creative with how I organize and view information.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some bugs that I know the team is working on that would be really useful, like down arrow select, or being able to have notion on mutiple accounts on the same computer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I believe they are solving the multiple accounts on the same computer problem so I can use Notion for work and for personal use!

Killing it with concolodation

  • July 30, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that Notion is allowing me to reduce the number of tools I use while additionally allowing me to more easily cross-reference data sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI feels a little dated to me but I haven't fully explored the possibilities of customizing it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping everything in one place. I'm trying to get as close to "one source of truth" as possible and so far Notion is it.

A great tool for documentation

  • July 29, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Collaborate in real time on documentation and see edits live

Easily drag and drop sections to reorder content

Great visual theme and site mechanics

Works with Google SSO
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing for larger teams may be off-putting (but it's worth it for our business)

Needs better integration with other business tools (e.g. JIRA, Github)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having all our documentation in one place and easily editable by our team

Low maintenance, it just works

Great tool in progress

  • July 29, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like its design, it is super clean and clear.
It feels modern and provides a good experience to use (adding images, tables etc is super easy).
I like the flexibility to move the items in the layout, and the breadcrumbs that help navigation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there are some bits that could still be improved.
I faced issues when working with tables (app completely frozen when copy pasting items).
I like the favourite section, but maybe it would be nice to have some more ways of saving pages (maybe folders inside favorites?) to keep the pages that you use the most more organized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is helping us to keep company information organized and accessible.
It helps us with documentation as well as it is pretty easy to collaborate and make modifications.

One Stop Solution for Managing Data, Documents & Various Business workflows

  • July 29, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Notion is really an easy-to-use tool for a small startup like ours, We manage our Leads, prospects & Deals details on a CRM we have built from Notion templates. We have built a board containing boards for knowledge sharing & data management for new employees, customers & miscellaneous info.
What do you dislike about the product?
Synchronization, when two people are working on the same sheet, can be improved. This is the only thing that needs improvement, Apart from it we love using Notion for our business needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion has been solving our everyday business requirements from managing the data and bringing the teams to a common workplace to sharing content & info. Instead of using multiple saas tools for managing data, website pages, CRM, we manage it all on Notion.

The best tool to organize work logs

  • July 29, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best point of Notion is that in which I can organize various materials (text, pdf, code etc.) in one service by utilizing various databases.
For example, I record daily logs by a calendar, discussion logs by lists, and photos by a gallery.
What do you dislike about the product?
The service will be more valuable for me if it can provide a preview for MS Office files (.docx and .pptx) as it does so for pdfs and pictures.
In addition, as an importation tool of websites, Evernote is much better... designs of websites are corrupted when saved by Notion web importer tool.
I heavily use a web importer to save websites with tags ('Books to buy', 'Place to go', 'Must read' etc.) and it will be helpful if Notion web importer become better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connection of database is a great idea.
I connect a Daily log database in which I keep records of what I do in a day and a Student database in which I records who they are.
When I discussed with a student, I write discussion records in a Daily log database and linked the daily-log page with the student page so that I can track the discussion log by a student page.

As you get used to it, it becomes very convenient, so we are promoting its use within the company. However, it can be somewhat difficult for beginners who have only used Office tools.

What do you like best about the product?
I was using Asana to manage a single team, but when multiple teams need to collaborate and operate, it's necessary to link each of their task management boards. In this regard, I find Notion very convenient because it allows you to link databases. Additionally, I find it user-friendly to be able to create templates that include various information such as tables and manuals for complex tasks with many steps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared to Excel and Google Sheets, there are fewer types of functions other than calculations, and it is difficult to use complex displays such as specific citations and display settings under certain conditions, as well as the inability to set conditional formatting. I would appreciate it if these could be improved a bit more. Also, in terms of API integration with Zapier, the Action Key is only for New Record, so it would be helpful if the Key could be expanded to the level of Asana, such as when changes are made or searching for Records under specific conditions, to advance automation. Additionally, I have a separate contract for form functions based on Notion, but I would like the main body to have the ability to create forms like Airtable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently responsible for building workflows and promoting administration within an organization of about 5 teams and 40 members. Although I have experience in operations management for small teams, this is my first time managing workflows that connect multiple industry teams with different missions, such as operations, designers, sales, and engineers. Therefore, I have been greatly aided by being able to integrate all the task management tools previously used by each team into Notion.

Easy and useful

  • July 28, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
A fast learning curve, Its interface is intuitive and almost anyone can start creating personalized tools for personal use or team use. Once you understand how it works you can start building from a simple to-do list to a more complex system as a CRM, planning tool, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't really use relationships for its databases, so you always need to create many-to-many relations if you want to create more complex tools. Also, you can share views to specific users of your team or guests with a filter so they only can see what you want them to see from a certain database BUT you have to share also the full database so they can view it in their filtered view. This makes the filtered view useless because they will also be able to view the full database so they can see data that only certain users should be able to see. They need to fix this so the users only can see the views shared with each one without the need to give them access to the full database. Otherwise, you need to create a database or table for each user. This would be the weakest point of notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me with controlling tasks for my co-workers with a full system I'm implementing. Since we need to organize the tasks by client, project, area, etc. It's almost perfect for the job.
