Beware of Payment
What do you like best about the product?
It's infinitely configurable but very difficult to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
Do NOT give them your payment info. I provided a credit card to use sharing features. They originally charged me $96 for team sharing, which I thought was fair. Six months later, I was charged $431.60 with NO notification, NO receipt, NO communication of any type. I only found the charge when reviewing my statements. When I requested a refund, this is the response I was given.
Unfortunately, we're unable to offer refunds after 1 month from your sign-up date for the Yearly plan and after 3 days for the Monthly plan, as explained on our Plans and pricing page here.
As far as functionality, it's okay if you're willing to invest a LOT of time learning how to use it. However, I prefer OneNote for the simplicity and the ability to track tags across multiple pages.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They're designed to solve issues with note-taking. They allow you to create custom templates that can be used. I spent a chunk of time learning to use the tool, and it was only ever mediocre in my opinion.
Not only a note taking app!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the best about Notion is that it is so customizable and you can make anything in it. It has really changed the way I view notetaking. You can set up your system as you like and make it as easy to use as you want. Notion lets me set up pages with notes and databases. If you know just a bit of programming you can easily set up small formulas in databases that can be really useful (if you can't program it is easy to find formulas online). Notion has also introduced AI features that can for example summarize meeting notes you have written or write code for you.
Notion is of course not only a note-taking app, but it can also be used to publish a simple page online, collaborate with teams on a kanban board, set up timelines with dependencies, or just work together in real-time.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some keyboard shortcuts that work on a lot of other programs that don't work in Notion. This used to be a bigger problem before, but notion has been implementing more and more of these.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Regular note-taking apps can be very limiting. Notion has been very useful for organizing my day-to-day life. I can easily go from my personal notes and databases to work-related pages. It is an app that allows me to integrate a lot in one place.
The most intuitive and user-friendly knowledge-sharing & data-collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Notion allows you to get data organized as well as easily share it with people from your team. A lot of pre-existing templates allow you to create any content type you need: tables, tasks, diagrams, and even combine them. It's mature product which is essential for keeping and managing data for each team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only area of improvement I can think of is mobile UX. Even with such a fantastic product most content is optimized for landscape screen orientation so that tables with wide content could be cropped on phone and you can't zoom out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall, Notion is an incredible and fun tool that allows you to create, share and collaborate over documents easily. The whole path to use Notion even for personal purposes is just about a few clicks away, which is a fantastic user experience. Any kind of document can be created within minutes, using a lot of pre-defined templates.
Notion is more than my own private agenda
What do you like best about the product?
On the last 2 years I got used to write EVERYTHING down on Notion, not even using paper notes anymore. Everything is so clean and organized, and I can always find all my data stored.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I still find it hard do use some of the functions on Notion, but it's getting better with the use. I believe it's something that comes with time, so not worried about it =)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion both for personal and professional use. On the personal side, I use it to track all my notes on everyday life, social media, partnerships, ideas, etc. I even had a session on productivity based on Notion. On the professional side, I use it for both my companies, both as an employer and an employee.
Fun and easy to use tool for keeping and managing notes or any kind of documentation
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is an extremely easy-to-use collaboration platform, which allows you to create different workspaces, folders, and documents and provides real-time feedback on documents. Once it's set up for the organization it's pure pleasure to keep and update data on the platform. Very easy to search, create and update documents, as well as a huge amount of pre-installed templates makes this software irreplaceable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations to the customization of templates, for example, drag and drop is not a feature that is enabled everywhere. Also, Notion is very easy to use on desktop devices, however it can be tricky to view large pages on a phone, specifically views with large tables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is an extremely great tool for quick visualization, a lot of integrations make usage of Notion a pure pleasure.
It has a little learning curve to get used to Notion, but once you've started, you'll never want to change it to other software.

They blocked our recruitment pages without previous notice
What do you like best about the product?
We are using it for the whole company, already for several years.
What do you dislike about the product?
After several years they blocked our public company carrier pages. without previous notice.
In informational mail, Notion mentions their Content & Use Policy, but with no detailed info on which one, so we can update pages.
It took 3 days of NO COMMUNICATION from the customer support team, while our paid recruitment campaigns were pointing to blocked job descriptions.
I am very disappointed that even with 3 urgent requests to communicate with us and tell us why they blocked our carrier pages -> no answer at all
We had no chance to react, no prior notice.
Extremely unprofessional behavior!

Organization of your tasks and design on your board
What do you like best about the product?
It has plenty of possibilities, both in terms of personalizing your personal area and in terms of templates and functionalities. It is very customizable, and that is something to be thankful for, because it makes you get more involved with this application every day. By making it a bit your own in terms of image, it ends up being very user-friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that the main page was in English seems like a drawback to me, which I'm sure they will soon resolve. On the other hand, it must be acknowledged that at first, it is a bit complicated to get started, given that with so many options, one doesn't know where to begin and has to watch tutorials or explore little by little.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me organize my tasks from my mobile, both those related to my day-to-day activities and those extraordinary ones that everyone has. Once your area is designed, you become addicted to this app.
we adopted it immediately
What do you like best about the product?
the user experience is really impressive and the features seem to be infinite. I only know a small part of them, nevertheless, it has proved to be most useful
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the mobile app is less performing than the desktop app, even if I am seeing some effort to make it better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been allowed to build my own project management and customer relationship system: this has improved our efficiency and also made the whole team more conscious of how the process should work.
I love using Notion for myself and my business
What do you like best about the product?
I can keep track of my business insights, content creation calendar, and project management, and I've created some templates to help me keep my life organized. I love using this notion every day; it has certainly changed my life.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to have the ability to find free templates from other users or find templates for my business niche because is complicated when you have to desing your own and you are not familiar with the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before, I used a lot of apps such as Google Drive, Excel, Word, Ever Note, Hootsuite, etc. However, now I can keep all my information in one place without installing another program on my laptop.
An All-Around Documentation Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Notion offers various features for note-taking or documentation. I appreciate the different views provided by the software and how tables can be linked, and how easily it can be used for collaboration. It also serves the aesthetical needs of its customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside of Notion is its rawness, and some features are still in mind that are not yet available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a platform that a team and its formatting options can work on can easily replicate the designs in mind.
