Great note taking software, mostly correctly executed with some room for improvement

  • February 14, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to enter text and data into. Great shortcuts for various tasks. Great for inserting, embedding images and files. App lets me capture handwritten notes easily and bin into an inbox which I can then go back to my computer to re-organize. Table and database very customizable. Served as my notetaking and notebook entry for the most parts. Overall, I prefer it over OneNote and EverNote. Probably one of the best if not the best notetaking app out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to built in more general-user intuition rather than Notion-specific quirks. For example, if I move cursor before some text, then enter the shortcut for heading, instead of creating heading before the initial text, it creates heading after (?!#). Also, table and database entry table needs to be more Excel-like (sorry guys, 99% of us were used to Excel before Notion came along) - do not try to re-invent cell entry beyond Excel based on your own (programmer's) idiosyncratic habits. If I move to cell and start to type, overwrite the original text (that's what Excel does, if I want to append, I will click within it); selecting cells is much harder than Excel - again, don't try to re-invent table cell entry. Template creation is also not the most intuitive and took some time to get the hang of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customizable timeline display over just note taking.

Great tool

What do you like best about the product?
There's tons of flexibility in how you take notes...tasks in databases, make templates for one on one notes, link between topics, etc. Really enjoy how it helps me to think through topics.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a blank slate. There are preconfigured templates you can pick from to help get you started, but you need to have an idea about what you want to achieve as you go into it and how your topics fit together; otherwise, you don't take advantage of all it has to offer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to have one tool that let me take basic notes, but also use project/topic templates, and still bring all the information together centrally.

Overall a great product, with exceptional flexibility. It's easy though to get yourself in trouble.

What do you like best about the product?
As a platform, Notion has a relatively easy new user experience and is extremely extensible, with many options for customization and opportunities to record, relate and display data.
What do you dislike about the product?
As the API was only rolled out in May 2021 there is a limited number of good, useful integrations that are available. The other major pain point for us is the lack of user roles, there are only two "Workspace Owner", and "Member." And while there are options available at the teamspace/page level for "guests" it would be extremely helpful to have more options available for those internal to the workspace.

(A more minor current annoyance is that the platform doesn't always allow a user to select a template after the content of an existing page is cleared.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is currently serving as our "one-stop shop" for almost all information in the business. It's our CRM, project management, team knowledgebase, SOP repository, and day-to-day task manager. Previous to utilizing Notion, we had many different systems that we were attempting to keep synchronized with all of this information and that was challenging. Now it's much easier to find needed information, stay on track, and provide better, more consistent support to our clients.

When it comes down to it, the question is what isn't Notion touching? :) Of course, the biggest challenge with it all being in one place is building/adapting the platform as we shift and grow. But even with that, short of custom-coding our own solution, Notion has been one of the best investments we've made for internal software.

I love using Notion as our main project management and knowledge hub with my team

  • February 14, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how you can connect everything together and link tasks with different teams in each dashboard. This makes it easy for each department to have its own space but management can have a bird-eye view of everything in their own space.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love all the new updates come out but as the tool gets more complicated it gets harder to onboard new people and get them to the same level of usage/knowledge as the rest of the team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Notion, we were using the G-suite Sheets heavily but there was no way to set reminders and filter the data easily. Notion streamlines this process and lets us connect each database to eachother.

Close to perfect intranet solution

  • February 14, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a tool that is easy to use to everyone. From experienced tech geeks to "normal" people who just want they software to work. Great and flexible tool to build almost everything you need. From knowledge base to task tracker. You can manage your product hypotheses, development tasks, customer relations log and many-many more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion is a great tool to access static information, but it still very hard to follow updates and discuss pieces of data inside Notion. We still use Basecamp for check-ins and Slack for discussing our work. We know that greatness is achieved step by step, but many people in our team hope that updates feed and better comments are next growth points for Notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Notion for almost everything. Business unit documentation, team updates, task management, employee database.
Notion are so much better than other tools we tried (including Atlassian Confluence). Not perfect. We still have to use other collaboration tools together with Notion. But it is definitely the central hub for our activities.

Great product with ultimate flexibility

What do you like best about the product?
There's endless possibilities in Notion to adjust to exactly how you want to structure it. I love that I can create my own pages and organization while working within the parameters of a team.

It seems to run slower in the web app than the desktop app but the web app is easier to navigate through.

Notion is the backbone of our company, we use it for everything from order management to a customer database. The integrations allow us to connect with most of our other platforms to create a one-stop shop for our users.

A bit hard to get started

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility that notion allows. Any sort of information that needs to be sorted, can be sorted. There's so much customizability with Notion that I really appreciate.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the collaboration tools could be better. Exporting could also be better. I also think it is difficult to get started. It is overwhelming to start using notion to the best of your capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a lot of different teams I need to take notes on. I can easily sort those with notion. Previously I was restricted by the formatting of schema of notes app like onenote.

Note taking app

  • February 10, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a powerful note-taking app that offers a unique combination of flexibility and organization. The app allows you to create notes, wikis, and databases, all in one place, making it a versatile tool for personal and team use. With its clean and intuitive interface, Notion makes it easy to keep track of all your information and ideas, whether you're taking notes in class, organizing your work projects, or keeping track of your personal to-do list.

Notion also offers advanced features, such as the ability to embed files, images, and tables into your notes, as well as the ability to collaborate with others in real-time. The app also integrates with a wide range of other apps and services, making it a convenient choice for users who work with a variety of different tools. Overall, Notion is a highly recommended note-taking app for anyone who values organization and flexibility in their note-taking process.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing much that I dislike about Notion, this app actually helps in managing all the daily tasks you want to do, format your notes, upload your pdf notes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving the problem of disorganization and lack of flexibility in traditional note-taking apps. By offering a single platform for notes, wikis, and databases, Notion allows users to keep all their information and ideas in one place, reducing the need to switch between multiple apps and services. This helps to streamline the note-taking process, making it easier for users to access and use their information when they need it.
