What do you dislike about the product?
- Very mouse-heavy. There are keyboard shortcuts but they're underpowered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Notion is giving me a place to have all of our company info in one spot. That includes project management and documentation. This enables ease of sharing information across multiple teams.
A Notion review from a game developer that uses it daily
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of content creation and more importantly, modification. Ex. turn a bunch of stuff into a sub-page in a couple of clicks, drag content to another page, convert between different types (ex. bullet list to checklist), reorder content by dragging, etc.
Quickly sharing pages with others even if they don't have a notion account (ex. artists we want to commission).
Also, databases are life.

What do you dislike about the product?
Out of the top of my head
- Limited security (no 2-factor auth of any kind).
- Being able to quickly save a reference from the web is amazing, not having a way to save the images permanently (instead of simply embedding them) is less so.
- Not being able to backup/export my personal and professional workspaces separately.
- Very limited colour palette for things like tag colours - please add more!
- I now hate all other software that doesn't allow me to reorder paragraphs by dragging them.
- Limited support for diagrams.
- I'm sure I'll remember something else after submitting this form - feel free to contact me later.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's like a 2nd brain - I can offload pretty much everything into it, from references to project ideas to the actual project design and production. I can also tinker with the structure until I'm happy with it and it doesn't have to be the same for all projects.
A tool to scale team organization & engagement
What do you like best about the product?
Notion's UI offers a sandbox for any organization to build upon. Our team was able to leverage the easy-to-use UI to rollout a shared library of knowledge docs, team information, and HR materials. Notion has enabled us to improve team, organization and client communications. It serves as our company's "homebase," making it easy for us to share announcements, manage onboarding, create a community, and keep track of deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting started with Notion is super easy but after you get your workspace built, there are some challenges in scaling. As an advanced user, there's fewer resources on how to maximize your instance to leverage database details or other features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is providing a "homebase" for our organization. We had no location to centrally hold announcements, onboarding materials, SOPs, etc. before we got Notion. Now the entire team has access to the documents they need to be successful.
Tremendously useful for product and cross-functional teams
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive, easy to learn and really powerful
What do you dislike about the product?
The size of the margins on the pages not being an editable option
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Implementations of new features with JIRA
Easy to use, many capabilities, and good looking
What do you like best about the product?
Streamlined experience and customization
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacking some basic features such as recurring tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bring content, data, and people together in one place - consolidating process and tools
Very flexible, great for sharing information. Ideal for startups.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share content and materials with the entire team or parts of the team with a single click. The flexibility of so many content types and ways to present them makes it so useful as the go-to point for all users in the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a little time to get accustomed to using Notion. It's not exactly intuitive but there is quite a lot of learning material and there are useful templates available to assist on the learning journey.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Notion as our internal web. It's enabling us to rapidly put together documentation, processes and share information in a collaborative way, so that everyone can contribute to its creation and be comfortable finding the material whenever they need access. It is more effective, in my experience than SharePoint for this purpose and more flexible than Google Drive.

Can't live without it
What do you like best about the product?
I personally can't live without notion for my daily planning and always recommend it to friends, it's very flexible and amazing as a draft for my ideas and planning
What do you dislike about the product?
The only situation where I don't recommend notion is when planning tech projects. Because it's very easy to delete or edit something by mistake, which happened to me when I started working with a tech team that used notion and accidentally clicked on something and was truely panicked.. it ended up that I made a page from template although I didn't know what that means at that time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's like a repo for all my planning, ideas, learning, references.. literally everything in one place in a tidy and easy manner. No scattered plans on Word or Excel files everywhere that I would forget where I left a few days later.
The tool that does it all
What do you like best about the product?
I can run my whole personal and business life through it and it's so customisable, I can fit to whatever my needs are. Great on mobile also.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a steep learning curve to become a real ninja user and you have to enjoy creating systems and building things from scratch. Though it does make it easy to do that, it's more if you're brain is wired that way. If not you may want a simpler solution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It stops my overwhelm and makes me feel more in control of my life
