A do-anything text based organiser
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to use the keyboard to generate all kinds of items from simple notes and lists, to To-Dos, toggles, reminders, up to full fledged database type entries.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with anything this powerful there is a learning curve. However, there is also plenty of contextual help. You can encounter most possibilities just by typing slash/.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has replaced Evernote for me as a daily organiser, note taking and work planning app.
It's not a complete replacement for Evernote (which kicks ass btw) by any means, however it excels in this important aspect.

Great tool totally free for students
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has a very clean and slick look and feel to it. It is easy and intuitive to use and lets you work in a personal workspace as well as in separate work workspaces.
I used it heavily for planning and writing my thesis. The minimalist style made it easy to focus while writing and editing.

What do you dislike about the product?
When I last used the desktop app is had some issues that prevented my from using it (this was around a year ago though so it may have been fixed). The web based version works great and is what I have been using
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Random note taking, thought organization, to do lists, editing. It is an all in one work system for small teams or individuals
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Simple and slick
New to Notion, but loving it!
What do you like best about the product?
Notion definitely helps in keeping conversations organized and keeping track of projects. The dashboard is very easy to follow and shows you all of your overall projects in one trackable place.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, we haven't run into much trouble
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have seen that it is very easy to use, that all teams pick it up quickly and it gives you a good quick overview of the progress of all projects. It also integrates with slack, so all updates can be included in a specific channel so teams know what is happening at all times.
Notion - Life Organized
What do you like best about the product?
I like the pages and the integration of spreadsheets with the calendar view
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was further options for the size of text and boxes. I tend to like to see everything in one view without scrolling, and being able to shrink the text further would allow that
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Personal and work organization. I like being able to check the to-do lists off and then re-categorizing points as completed or whichever label I decide. This allows me to keep track of what I'm working on while keeping track of what I've already completed
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for software that integrates seamlessly through your desktop computer, Chrome browser, phone app, and more, this is the one to do it. You are able to upload existing spreadsheets and create pages using the data. Then you're able to extract and filter the data as you please and turn the form into a calendar or a to-do list.
Takes some time to figure out initially but a great tool
What do you like best about the product?
- Sharing of files and documents with each other within the organization and collaborative editing
- Documents within documents
- Notifies you about edits through mail
- Minimum icons at the top, but all of them fed into keyboard. For example, you insert a table by first pressing '/' for commands, after which you select table

What do you dislike about the product?
- Took time to figure out initially
- Some functions that seem like should exist, do not. For example, while entering numbers in a table column, the column sum should be available
- Would like the reminder function to become better
- Integrations with commonly used softwares such as Slack, Asana, Zoom

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Collaborative sharing with the team
- Helps keep the important documents and files in one place for all to view
- Tracker maintenance

Recommendations to others considering the product:
While it is a good collaborative sharing and editing software, it would be worth to check out other softwares as well. Consider your objectives carefully before going for it. You may be looking for a to-do list and a task management system, but this does not exactly serve the full purpose as an Asana.

Easy to use and interesting way to structure information

It's friendly to use and quite easy to get started with.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not very customizable and elements of UX are confusing (such as switching accounts).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped us create a basic knowledge base that we eventually transferred to Jira Service Desk. It was problematic in that the UI was too basic to use as a permanent knowledge base.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great to get started and free for students.
Notion is great for documentation!
What do you like best about the product?
I like Notion. We use it in our company for documentation and note-taking
- You can easily share documents as they are publicly available to the company. You can also choose whom to share it to.
- The version control is strict. When there are changes, you will receive notifications in email.
- There are various formats and templates that you can choose from.

What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike Notion because:
- It is hard to track your work. It can get lost. It would be useful to have a directory list of documents made for a certain topic.
- The offline app is buggy. It hangs and loads slowly on my laptop.

Manage your knowledge base with Notion
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is my very first experience of an online knowledge base where there could be multiple contributors to a document. In my previous company we used a very old tool which just showed documents and policies but nobody was allowed to create anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion needs a directory to keep everything organized. There are a lot of documents in Notion that gets lost. There should also be better tracking on the documents. Sometimes I cannot tell what one person has edited into our documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Notion, we are able to collaborate on documents, policies, processes, and the like.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I find Notion difficult to use. I recommend trying other software before committing to this.
