Four words sum it up - couldn't live without it
What do you like best about the product?
I ignored Notion for a long time despite some good friends, who I trust, recommending it. I just didn't see what the fuss was. Turns out I was wrong (not for the first or last time). Its initial simplicity hides a lot of features - but at the same time, it's this same simplicity that makes it very easy to use. Like all great tools, it can do a lot more than most people use it for, but there aren't hundreds of options cluttering the interface and making you scared to use it. And when you need more advanced features, there are likely to be there and easily accessible. Clearly, a lot of thought has gone into Notion's UI/UX.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a great deal to dislike. There could do with adding webhooks (there is an API which is useful for many, me included, but it doesn't do everything and webhooks would really make it superb).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the problem of having data all over the place (as much as any tool can). You can put almost any data into Notion. Whether you want to is up to you, but even when you put data in other applications, there's a huge range of embeddable options so you can probably display it in Notion. It's my goto store for data. From complicated projects to simple note taking. No more hundreds of text editor/notepad files left open with forgotten but important notes.
Amazing tool
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is very flexible. Once you know about the main features you can reproduce any basic business tool / process : Ticketing, calendar, CRM.
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks some features competitors like coda have : buttons, integrations, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have built a system to manage my product management tasks and share the roadmap to the rest of the team. We also store the knowledge in notion. And I help other team members do the same for their own scopes (legal, brand & content, etc)
Capable sandbox for managing projects, organising knowledge and so much more
What do you like best about the product?
Notion can be as simple as a repository of notes that can be enhanced with a number of 'block types', from weblink previews to code blocks to PDF embeds. Or it can be as complex as several relational databases that can be used with filters and sorts to only give you the context-specific content you want to see.
The pace of development recently has been great to see, with lots of little quality-of-life improvements but also some major improvements to how data can be handled and viewed.

What do you dislike about the product?
There could be a steep learning curve to setting up Notion, but that's mostly on the user since it can be as simple as you want it to be for the most part. Lack of offline access is annoying at times and a dealbreaker for some, and when databases get too large performance takes a hit. Exporting options aren't the best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use Notion to manage my PhD, using a Notes database to dump anything from lab notes, reminders, meeting notes, resources, etc. that can then be categorised and filtered according to actionability and category. I also have a Projects database to keep track of all the different projects I have going on, which is linked to the Notes database. It removes the worry of "where do I put this", "where DID I put this", and gives me all content related to whatever I'm working on in one place.
I also use Notion for my personal life to manage the hundreds of articles and general content I read, to organise them into areas and resources that I can get back to when they're needed, and use them to start projects without the fear of a blank slate.

I LOVE Notion
What do you like best about the product?
Organization is key for me, I have lots of things that need documentation and todo lists that I need to follow up on and with Notion you can do all of that! How it compares to competitors is that its an all in one, I can do everything in just Notion, i don't need to go elsewhere. If you guys keep enhancing based on customer feedback then you'' dominate and be rockstars!!
What do you dislike about the product?
The background white color is so visually strong, it would be great if I can have dark mode or change it in any way. Colors and font changes would be great too, I am a very visual person so that would help a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unifying it in all in one spot.

Flexible hub
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy and fluid to use. I love how modular it feels with its keystrokes and simple integration. I've had success using Notion as a "Source of Truth" with companies
What do you dislike about the product?
It's tough for the closed-minded to adopt. We found more junior employees would refuse to work with notion, whereas senior members of the team would be more willing to pick Notion up and uncover its value. Email onboarding was helpful for some, but I think more in-product help would be beneficial
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a single source of truth (a "knowledge base") was the key reason to stand up a notion instance. Our company has a very easily accessible database of info across all teams that's now shared
Outstanding Organizational Tool
What do you like best about the product?
There's a variety of different ways to store information all in one place. The creativity allowed and the versatility of Notion is very impressive. I haven't found another solution that can do so much in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally I wish that more advanced features were easier to find. But the external community around Notion helps fill those gaps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion houses our knowledge bases, general documents, and some light project management. Having all of those in one place reduces friction and helps us communicate faster and more effectively.
Notion is a life saver
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has helped me organize everything, from school, to to-do lists to tracking expenses or wish list items. It is the best way to keep everything organized together, compared to other apps where you might need a combination of apple notes, to-do list apps, and other tracking apps. With notion, you can keep track of everything in one app, in a tidy, and aesthetic way.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside of using notion is that at the beginning, it looks a little overwhelming, but as long as you follow tutorials, or just copy templates and customize them to yourself, it is easy to get started. Once you understand the basics, it is very easy to build pages for yourself for whatever you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notions helps me keep track of homework that is continuous, not just a database. It changes every day and is easy to add/subtract new tasks. It also allows me to sort things into different groups, or filter out specific info, when I am keeping track of notes or information.
A very easy to use and practical tool to better organize my ideas and carry them out

What do you dislike about the product?
I feel that notion has many tools and this can saturate the novice user. In my personal experience, every time I recommend it, they tell me about this inconvenience despite being very versatile to use. I would like there to be a section of tutorials in all languages for any user, as well as on youtube they place translated audio, I think it is a good alternative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me a lot to organize my ideas in classes, from taking notes that I do, to sharing them and working as a team, for example for an activity that I did for a video game event, I was able to place them with icons, check list and everything in a simple way the roles of each participant in this activity, I was also able to share it and this allowed a clearer idea of what had to be done and everything went as planned from Notion.
The online tool for everything
What do you like best about the product?
They are improving and implementing new ways and tools to get things done and organise personal and professional projects. I love the integrations and the option to share pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have a simple to-do list integrated with my Google and Apple calendar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are resolving the language issue, since there is a lack of content in Spanish. They are resolving the language issue, since there is a lack of content in Spanish. I have also noticed an improvement in performance and in the MacOs app.
Amazing app for organization
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy using notion, specially because of the fact that I can create my own workspace. It makes creating a setup that works for you very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I wish they added is external keyboard support on iPad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It enables you to create a workspace that is fully customizable.
