Notion is pretty okay
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to create simple pages and organise data in a nice looking way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Given that my profession is that of a software engineer when dealing with more versatile tools I am used to being able to do exactly what I want. In Notion you are somewhat locked into doing it exactly the way notion wants you to. Often this is enough, but many people give off the impression that you can use Notion to do "anything" or that it can solve all note taking or organisational issues but I don't think so. Also it strikes me as lame that we are forced to have a Name collumn in each database especially since it can just be left blank for all items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organisation of notes, writing, planning etc. Both work and personal projects.
Amazing knowledge repository but not up to scratch for project management
What do you like best about the product?
- the amount of customisations, immense
- different layout templates
- UI is nice
- better than Confluence when it comes to page building and customisation options

What do you dislike about the product?
- no out of box ability to display all my tasks across different projects and boards
- difficult to manage complex projects and keep visibility across multiple project streams resulting in chaos
- unable to share one task between multiple projects
- customisations are great but it takes a really long time to build relational databases to get a solid project board (it should be quick and straightforward, think Asana)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion solves the issue of transparency within an organisation bringing knowledge and projects under the same hood. It helps the team with visibility and handovers, but more work needs to be done to consider Notion a serious project management tool.
Loving Notion
What do you like best about the product?
It's completely customizable and can flex to the needs of my projects and ideas. My managers also champion Notion so we all use it often.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are small things I try to do that feel unnecessarily challenging or complicated, such as features with the database or duplicating templates. I also wish there were a better to-do list function/database; something like Asana would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing and project management, transparency with my managers, goal setting in both near and short term.
Wonderful tool for organizing all sorts of projects
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has continued to evolve into a reliable structure for organizing information across teams. Its flexibility in templates and layouts makes it easy to adapt to new workflows, and collaboration feels more seamless as we expand its use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial learning curve remains the main challenge, especially for new users. However, once familiar with the commands and navigation, the experience becomes intuitive and efficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration across different projects. We work with multiple development projects simultaneously, which makes it hard to communicate both the current status and what is left to be done in each project. It is allowing us to manage multiple projects efficiently, with less room for miscommunication.
The core tool of my organizational tech stack
What do you like best about the product?
It feels like all the tools you'd use from other suites are available in just one cloud service. The options for content organization are limitless and the costumization of pages is flexible.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app can be hard to handle if you have very complex pages. It's a learning curve to use it on another device, so it's all about being patient. Also, I'd recommend just using it on your browser because it's impossible to just have one Notion tab open at once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They're implementing a new side bar that should make it easier to switch between team and private pages. Seeing as I use Notion for work and personal reasons, this should prove helpful.
One of the best organization apps
What do you like best about the product?
It is so fun and easy to use! I can not only reorganize tables of data but it's been very useful to move around text, from sentences to entire walls of paragraphs. It's syncing across devices has also not failed me yet, which I appreciate since I always have issues with other services not saving my most recent edits.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. It has accomplished what I've needed and expected from it, for personal use anyway. I guess the only non-issue is the persistence and repeating of deleted pages in the bin, but that's not too bad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to reorganize tables, lists and paragraphs with ease. There's also a kind of dashboard where you can add cards of information, which is useful for studying purposes and has helped keep track with art commissions.
Dynamic and flexible platform for all needs and in continuous evolution
What do you like best about the product?
Databases are perfect for managing tasks and workflows, which in other software are less customizable. Another preferential factor is the ability to format the page as you want, with many elements, always with a view to having a tailor-made work environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having many different places to put tasks, but not being able to merge them into a single database.
Another thing that can be annoying is not knowing how much Notion can allow you to scale in terms of numbers and management; it would be nice to have a better view of what and how much you can do.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion offers a platform to manage a very particular workflow, which needs a lot of information to keep track of and allows the whole team to add their piece to the completion and progress of the task.
Indeed it makes it preferable to other platforms precisely because of the robust customization, from what is the insertion of properties to the use of formulas that create detailed data and do not require a passage on the spreadsheets, keeping all the data on a single platform.

A complete solution to having al sorts of docs
What do you like best about the product?
Product is solid, has a lots of templates to offer, it ia very easy and fun to use.
Usually writing documentation is a pain, that definitely does not happen with notion.
Also the tech support is always there for answering questions and receiving feedback.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue we are experiencing now is the slack integration on pages. When someone updates a page we receive to many notifications about it. We have already reported it, maybe throttling the notifications would be a good idea.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for all the documentation of the different business units at our company, we also use it to have 1:1 meetings with team members. We completely replaced our wiki with notion
It's like having a searchable memory
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to drop in notes about anything in any format quickly, then easily go back and organize. Plus the shared nature of Notion leads to easier shared knowledge around the organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get pretty busy in there, so you have to make time to organize. Plus waiting for more and more sync'd blocks, which will make a big difference when working across multiple apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Shared organizational knowledge is the biggest. Having team members keep track of the different specific processes they do in their roles makes it much easier to accomplish my goals without having to constantly ask questions.
Best documentation tool I have ever used
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is simple, lightweight and extremely flexible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a fan of the mobile experience. It's a bit clunky and unintuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me document both on a personal and professional level. It has helped me build a documentation culture.
