A Collaboration and Productivity Tool that meets all of my needs!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Notion is super customizable. There are tons of free templates for you to utilize to edit and make your own. I use Notion to not only track work tasks and my school work, but I also use it for my personal life. It's just an awesome tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to download the files and still be able to customize them or download them and edit them in something like Google Sheets as not everyone on my team uses the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to keep track of candidates in my pipeline as well as to track candidates I am coordinating interviews for that I am not the recruiter. I also use it to keep track of work, school, and personal tasks to get done. I like to keep personal metrics in there as well such as company hiring metrics and sourcing resources that help me on a daily.
Better than the rest, great for individuals, good for teams, developers love it
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has a great user experience for the individual user. It allows you to take notes in many different styles. The text formatting is intuitive and straightforward. The hotkeys/shortcuts are great for powerusers. Most of all it's built with use by engineers in mind. There are native code blocks and code formatting. I love the idea of "blocks", which limits the first cmd+A select to the block, then if you press it a few more times, it'll select the whole document. It has made my note-taking iteration so much faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some rough edges. Because of the unique block model, there can be frustrating experiences with it. Selecting multiple blocks with a cursor often seems to not work as expected. Formatting multiple blocks at a time doesn't work well.
Collaboration is the biggest aspect that I dislike and is worse than competing products. There are still many things that can be improved around commenting; navigating comments, dealing with resolved comments, etc.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For individuals, it is a note-taking management system. All the features make note-taking faster and more enjoyable to use. In the broader company, it is a knowledge base. The formatting and UX has made it easier to add, modify, and view documents. Since it's so dynamic, it's also easy to collaborate and iterate on the knowledge base.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Very mouse-heavy. There are keyboard shortcuts but they're underpowered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Notion is giving me a place to have all of our company info in one spot. That includes project management and documentation. This enables ease of sharing information across multiple teams.
Notion makes sharing information and having an overview of the different parts of the team very easy
What do you like best about the product?
Notion has a nice user interface and many different functionalities and views that make aggregating information and planning next steps easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not possible to connect certain lines in tables to different tables or to copy a line in a table to a different table
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is helping us solve the overview problem. Given that we plan lots of events throughout the year, it is important for us to be well organized and have all information nearly ordered.
Notion is Great!
What do you like best about the product?
It's fun to use with lots of aesthetic customizations, but also it does so many things. Project management, databases, wiki. It's all there. I looked a lot of competitors before settling on Notion, and it stood out as the most flexible and customizable option. After using it for my business, I bought a second account for my personal life.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some clunky features and desired quality of life improvements. For example, the emojis are set to a style that isn't very legible against the background colors the platform uses or you can't set defaults for database items (so you need to manually set the icon when adding a new database line.) Little things like that. I could go on, but it honestly doesn't matter because the people at Notion are aggressively updating the platform, and are extremely receptive to product feedback. I have full confidence any flaws are temporary at best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My goodness, as I've mentioned, they're aggressively updating the platform. Recently they improved the database features and interface. It's so much easier to use now and loads faster. I love it.

A Notion review from a game developer that uses it daily
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of content creation and more importantly, modification. Ex. turn a bunch of stuff into a sub-page in a couple of clicks, drag content to another page, convert between different types (ex. bullet list to checklist), reorder content by dragging, etc.
Quickly sharing pages with others even if they don't have a notion account (ex. artists we want to commission).
Also, databases are life.

What do you dislike about the product?
Out of the top of my head
- Limited security (no 2-factor auth of any kind).
- Being able to quickly save a reference from the web is amazing, not having a way to save the images permanently (instead of simply embedding them) is less so.
- Not being able to backup/export my personal and professional workspaces separately.
- Very limited colour palette for things like tag colours - please add more!
- I now hate all other software that doesn't allow me to reorder paragraphs by dragging them.
- Limited support for diagrams.
- I'm sure I'll remember something else after submitting this form - feel free to contact me later.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's like a 2nd brain - I can offload pretty much everything into it, from references to project ideas to the actual project design and production. I can also tinker with the structure until I'm happy with it and it doesn't have to be the same for all projects.
STRUCTURED AND UNSTRUCTURED CONTENT IN ONE
What do you like best about the product?
NOTION OFFERS YOU THE BLANK PAGE, READY TO BE FILLED EASILY - NO WORRIES ABOUT ORDERING YOUR CONTENT, AS THAT CAN EASILY HAPPEN AFTERWARDS: REORDER YOUR BLOCKS OF TEXT, YOUR PAGES, CHANGE THE NATURE OF YOUR BLOCKS, OR MAKE THEM ITEMS IN DATABASES - IT'S ABOUT THE SPEED OF CREATING CONTENT. ONCE YOU HAVE DISCOVERED REPEATING PATTERNS, USE THESE IN TEMPLATES TO HAVE YOUR CONTENT FORMED IN PREDEFINED STRUCTURES. EASILY COLLABORATE WITH TEAM MEMBERS, AND EASILY INVOLVE PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE THROUGH SHARING ONLY THIS PAGE TO THEM.
What do you dislike about the product?
THE NOTION WORKPLACE IS HIGHLY DYNAMIC - YOU NEED TO GET USED TO THAT. AND FURTHER TO THAT: OF COURSE YOU BUMP INTO THINGS THAT SHOULD BE DESIGNED BETTER, BUT THEN YOU ARE QUITE OFTEN SURPRISED BY HOW FAST NOTION EVOLVES AND ADDS NEW FEATURES AND BETTER ERGONOMICS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NOTION HELPS TEAMS TO EASILY COLLABORATE THROUGH EXISTING AND NEWLY TO BE MADE CONTENT; IT OFFERS A REALM OF PREDEFINED STRUCTURES TO DO THIS. TEAM KNOWLEDGE WORK IS ALL ABOUT 'DESIGNING' INFORMATION -- THAT'S NOTION'S NATURE.
As the AI assistant has been added since begin 2023, it really got some superpowers. It helps me translating, documenting, writing letters, summarizing, explaining...
I even use it as a kind of coach and co-sensemaker!
