A great place to store and share most things in a company
What do you like best about the product?
Love the keyboard shortcuts. Once you get used to using Notion, it's lightning-fast to use compared to Google Docs.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would love to use Notion to replace Asana. You definitely can. But if you are frequently assigning tasks, Asana can be easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is a win for our whole team when it comes to SOP's. It's super simple to keep our SOP's updated and really fast to find things. The Notion Databases are also helping us to organize things such as props/wardrobe/contractors/equipment lists, etc.
Changed the way I manage my life
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility. It allows me to create whatever view I want - I particularly value the tables.
The ease of use. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once you learn how to use it it's super simple.
The community. The notion community is growing so fast meaning that there is a template for almost anything!

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the tables had more features. I have essentially replaced excel for most functions, but still some things are missing. Like for example I haven't found good ways to make nice graphs. I would also LOVE it if there's a better way to manage the calendar. It's currently a bit chunky.
I also know that there's a million different integrations but I'm not sure how to use them and it requires looking into specific options. It would be great if you could share tailored recommendations.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1 - centralizing information. I use notion for my own personal organizations, in addition to managing projects.
2 - note taking. What an incredibly powerful note taker! So simple to use when other note taking apps are just old school.
3 - database management. The ease of use of tables is so straightforward. The alternative used to me spreadsheets or documents and instead this is just a beautiful combination

I love using Notion as our main project management and knowledge hub with my team
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.
Your Internal Dashboard, Planner, Tracker, and Digital Company Productivity board
What do you like best about the product?
As a startup with a newly formed team, I had to find the right platform to get operationalized and migrate all knowledge and processes out of my head and into a system to create an intranet, place for collaboration, and manage projects and productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
it takes time to effectively build a workspace. I've had to put in a lot of effort and utilize a lot of templates to design the workspace for my organization. I would also like to see integration from Google and Microsoft, so it can interpret meetings, docs, etc, now that there is an AI component

Notion changed my life
What do you like best about the product?
It's the best personal organization tool there is. No competition gets close. It's neat, simple to start using, yet complete in features.
I like how everything can be connected, searched for, mentioned etc. The hierarchy structure is awesome too. One of the latest features I liked the most was the sub-item and parent-item in databases.

What do you dislike about the product?
1) Slow to load. It's getting better, but I'm used to faster apps on Windows and Android.
2) No offline access: there's no way to choose pages to keep offline on your phone. It's also getting better, but many apps already allow offline editing, saving, etc.
3) No automations. The first automation came very recently, with the recurring templates. But some IFs and THENs would be a great addition to the databases. In Trello that is very easy to do. ClickUp has been showing off that feature on their ads too. I think it's time for Notion to catch up with the features of its competitors.
4) Sometimes I experience bugs when writing fast on Android. I think Notion tries to sync everything in real time and then I experience some lagging issues. The last words disappear for no reason.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion for everything in my life. Everything is there. Personal projects, notes, references, task list, documentation, catalogs...
It has solved every organization problem I had. Now I put all my notes in Notion and can easily find them. I can mention them in other pages, structure them in a database etc.
Every planning I have to do I do in Notion too.
Sometimes I need to use Google Sheets and Forms too, so I embed them in Notion, so I don't have to leave the platform at all.

Close to perfect intranet solution
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.

I believe Notion is a very effective project management tool for my small business
What do you like best about the product?
I like its look and feel. I love the use of unlimited databases and the ability to link them. I like the use of color and the ability to make pages look attractive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Definitely that it lacks a proper recurring task feature. The recurring template feature - a recent addition - falls very short of what I would expect from the most basic program. This is the only reason I can't give Notion a 10.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run a client-based business - each client represents a project and each project has multiple tasks - but not necessarily the same tasks - that need to be performed in order. I find Notion databases to be an excellent method of keeping track of each stage, as well as being flexible enough to handle curveballs. I also love that I can connect project and actions databases as well as clients and client files - I use the status property religiously to track what I have to do tomorrow, this week, this month etc. I also have a separate area where I keep track of all my finances, taxes etc. and another where I keep track of workflows and can capture notes on anything new that crosses my path but I don't have time to process at the moment.
Unrivalled all-in-one productivity platform for anyone
What do you like best about the product?
It makes creating, viewing and collaborating on content and tasks easy. It's like multiple platforms boiled into one, with a very generous free plan.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's so much you can do that it could become addictive and distract you from getting work done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work with several clients and use Notion as a knowledge hub and task planner. This helps me and my team act and respond fast, as nothing gets lost in email or Slack.
Notion is an incredibly versatile and customizable productivity tool
What do you like best about the product?
"Notion is an incredibly versatile and customizable productivity tool that has greatly improved my personal and professional organization. I love the flexibility to create and structure pages to fit my specific needs, whether it's tracking project tasks, managing personal goals, or taking notes for a meeting. The integration of databases and tables also makes it easy to keep track of information and collaborate with others in real-time. Notion's interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, and the ability to add comments, tags, and reminders is a helpful feature that keeps me on top of my to-do list. Overall, I highly recommend Notion for anyone looking to streamline their workflow and improve their organization."
What do you dislike about the product?
performance issues with large and complex pages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving several problems for me and businesses, including:
Centralizing information: Notion allows users to bring together all of their notes, tasks, and documents in one place, making it easy to find and access important information quickly.
Streamlining collaboration: Notion's real-time collaboration features enable teams to work together on the same page, share ideas, and track progress, reducing the need for back-and-forth communication and simplifying project management.

Amazing tool, still with loads to offer!
What do you like best about the product?
The way it centralises information from all areas. Makes it easy to find documents and information while maintaining a level of professionalism. Can also be personalised
What do you dislike about the product?
The database system can be very clunky I find personally, and I also think that there are not enough options for data categories. Daya feels very trapped in the strict boundaries of database
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It keeps a journal and ledger of all activities of employees. Each employee finds it easy to use and has picked it up very easily, even the older ones who are mid technophobe!
