As you get used to it, it becomes very convenient, so we are promoting its use within the company. However, it can be somewhat difficult for beginners who have only used Office tools.
What do you like best about the product?
I was using Asana to manage a single team, but when multiple teams need to collaborate and operate, it's necessary to link each of their task management boards. In this regard, I find Notion very convenient because it allows you to link databases. Additionally, I find it user-friendly to be able to create templates that include various information such as tables and manuals for complex tasks with many steps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared to Excel and Google Sheets, there are fewer types of functions other than calculations, and it is difficult to use complex displays such as specific citations and display settings under certain conditions, as well as the inability to set conditional formatting. I would appreciate it if these could be improved a bit more. Also, in terms of API integration with Zapier, the Action Key is only for New Record, so it would be helpful if the Key could be expanded to the level of Asana, such as when changes are made or searching for Records under specific conditions, to advance automation. Additionally, I have a separate contract for form functions based on Notion, but I would like the main body to have the ability to create forms like Airtable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently responsible for building workflows and promoting administration within an organization of about 5 teams and 40 members. Although I have experience in operations management for small teams, this is my first time managing workflows that connect multiple industry teams with different missions, such as operations, designers, sales, and engineers. Therefore, I have been greatly aided by being able to integrate all the task management tools previously used by each team into Notion.
Easy and useful
What do you like best about the product?
A fast learning curve, Its interface is intuitive and almost anyone can start creating personalized tools for personal use or team use. Once you understand how it works you can start building from a simple to-do list to a more complex system as a CRM, planning tool, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't really use relationships for its databases, so you always need to create many-to-many relations if you want to create more complex tools. Also, you can share views to specific users of your team or guests with a filter so they only can see what you want them to see from a certain database BUT you have to share also the full database so they can view it in their filtered view. This makes the filtered view useless because they will also be able to view the full database so they can see data that only certain users should be able to see. They need to fix this so the users only can see the views shared with each one without the need to give them access to the full database. Otherwise, you need to create a database or table for each user. This would be the weakest point of notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me with controlling tasks for my co-workers with a full system I'm implementing. Since we need to organize the tasks by client, project, area, etc. It's almost perfect for the job.
The perfect wiki and team collaboration platform for SMBs
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a powerful and easy-to-use collaborative wiki that will work well for small and medium-size teams.
The user experience is very modern and easy. That will facilitate the onboarding of most users.
The mobile app works also very well. All your data and teams' collaborative discussions are accessible everywhere.
It’s like having Microsoft Sharepoint or Atlassian Confluence but much easier to use, but without all the heavy « corporate » features and complications.
It fits well with an agile culture where flexibility and experimentation are the norms.
Notion manages text, images, documents and even videos pretty well.
It has API's that integrate well with many tools such as Zappier, Google Drive, Dropbox, Zoom, etc...
You can create very flexible tables, wiki links, see backlinks, and discuss with team members almost any piece of data.
Everything can be refactored easily as you go...

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't personally use Notion as a personal note-taking tool. I don't like that all my data and my files are hosted on a web app that I don't control and in a format that is not standard. I use Obsidian as my personal PKM system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion shine when you need to build collaboratively a shared knowledge space with an agile structure.
Great product for small businesses
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has allowed my team to become more efficient by simplifying tasks and drafting documentation for staff to refer back to.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the formulas regarding task management templates are complex and I don't understand how to use them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Delegating tasks and assigning ownership to certain tasks.
You NEED Notion
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is one of those tools that you can do so much with. You can use tables, calendars, columns...the sky is the limit! I used Notion at my previous company and when I interviewed for my current role I asked "Could we get Notion?"
It really is a tool that is so versatile and allows you to build up a space for SOPs - refraining from tribal knowledge becoming a problem.

What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't run into any dislikes during my two years using Notion. Sometimes I run into hangups when navigating around/trying to create a beautiful page, but I attribute most of that to user error.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is solving a huge problem in the workplace: poor organization. It allows our company to have google sheets, miro boards, google dogs, google slides, and SOPs all in one place.
The most amazing all in one app I´ve ever used
What do you like best about the product?
For several years I was using a bunch of tools to do different personal and work-related stuff such as project management, to-do list, keeping notes, etc. I used evernote, trello, Monday, one Note, you name it and I probably used it. That´s when I casually discover Notion while browsing a Q&A site for another app. Its simplicity made me curious and force me to dive deeper.
I felt in love with Notion because all of a sudden I was able to do all the things in just one app, so I immediately changed and started to learn more and more about it.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I really miss and would love to have in Notion is Mind Mapping. I can use some tricks and twists to achieve something similar, but I still prefer the look and feel of traditional mind mapping tools. If they can think of a way to make mind mapping efficient in Notion without losing its simplicity, that would be awesome!! 🤩
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It became my center of command for all my personal and work related stuff. It is my note taking tool, my project management tool, my processes and procedures repository. It is everything.
The app we use to store all the information of our company
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I am always discovering new things that I can do using Notion
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I don't like at the moment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is our "encyclopedia". We store all the information of the company so that we always access it to find a solution
A joy to use, for either personal or professional stuff
What do you like best about the product?
Ease to use and extremely customizable - can be used for simple things like writing a note or creating a to-do list, but also for creating complex systems such as Agile / Kanban boards.
What do you dislike about the product?
Haven't found anything yet - still searching :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work using Agile / Scrum and I set up an Agile board in Notion - where we keep all our tasks (product backlog, sprint backlog - for both design & dev). We also use Notion to store important info relevant to everybody.
A Little Time Learning Opens a World of Possibilities with Notion
What do you like best about the product?
Databases are amazingly flexible. It's not full SQL, but miles ahead of using spreadsheets and tables.
The search is quite good.
Resources and templates are easy to find.

What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks an offline mode, which has been a recurring complaint for ages.
It has very little for page design - everything is managed through blocks of various types. This is both a strength AND a liability.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anything that I used to do in Evernote is much better and easier in Notion.
It is extremely flexible in what I can store and how.
It has become my primary repository for all information - my veritable "second brain"

Excellent thought and process organising app
What do you like best about the product?
Lovely writing experience. There are lots of features to present pages beautifully and logically. Relational databases are very helpful for keeping track of links between many projects, people and thoughts. Couldn't recommend more.
What do you dislike about the product?
There could be a little more customisation options for the presentation of pages. Things missing: centre alignment, more than 3 header options. These are mostly aesthetic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My relational databases help me track my connections, meetings I've had with those connections, and the organisations they work at. I can feel safe that more of my thoughts are captured and out of my head
