Beautiful UI, really good tools, however many of my colleague give me feedback it's too hard to use.
What do you like best about the product?
The Board view, drag & drop experience between the different views of the same database. Strongly customised experience for every industry. The ability to share as a public page so I can hosted it on my website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Timeline view is not good enough. I like the gantt chart in Clickup more. Also and ability to sync with Google Calendar is really important, I've used Zapier or Automate.io, both have a very serious problem that you can only *create* but you cannot edit the event created on Google Calendar, that is really annoying. Also recurring task is important for to-do list database, I know I can use automate.io to create recurring task, but that feature is quite important to have in-built I guess.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The share as public website feature provide a simple CMS for my non-technical staff to update some news / jobboard on our website. This is really good. Also it act as a performance management tool for us to record all meeting minutes.
Notion is the best tool
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is very easy to use, and extremely flexible so you can build your workspace in the way it works best for you. I use it in my personal and professional life. It's a game changer to organize, document and manage tasks/projects. The product is always improving based on Customer Feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the professional workspace we have a difficulty related to shared permissions of diferent views of a database. We found an workaround, so It's not really a problem, but I dislike the need to use the workaround in order to have the right permission set.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The need to have all the information in only one platform. So instead of using a platform for documentation, another to manage task, another to build simple spreadsheets, we can have it all in one place.
And Notion has a lot of integrations that allow us to automize proccess, generate especific notifications and so much more.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are excelent communities to learn tips about Notion. I learned a lot on reddit. And so many people love Notion that it's really easy to find templates and people to talk about it!
love it, so much that you can do!
What do you like best about the product?
the versatility of everything. there's so much that you can do. like how you can pretty much run a company through it and it gives a professional looking place to communicate with clients
What do you dislike about the product?
some of the little bugs, but they're usually solvable with a reset. sometimes copy and pasting things to other apps, like slack, is a bit tricky but overall there's not much i dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
solving the problem of organization & communication. this benefits me because it makes things a lot easier to navigate, schedule, put in place, etc. and it's robust but easy enough to explain to new clients
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it can seem overwhelming at first but you'll slowly get used to it and find more and more uses each day/week
Great and streamlined, with some minor hiccups.
What do you like best about the product?
The streamlined workflow and possible integration, both externally and internally. Being able to easily present production processes for the internal sales team and production partners, for example.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some minor hiccups are present. Small bugs that lead to a lot of frustration, trying to figure out where exactly your integrated database calculations went wrong. Thankfully support personnel is trying their absolute best to solve every problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Masterbase data that are usable among all relevant personnel on a project without having to use a ton of different programs. Also, calculations that use that same date in a meaningful way.
A competitive all-purpose beast that attacks all products at once
What do you like best about the product?
I have been working with this program since the early days (2016). I was able to implement all my needs there, somewhere crookedly and somewhere very organically. Notion is a really powerful combine for different types of tasks, whether it is a personal system with diary, calendar, notes, etc. or a working system with boards, databases and tables.
The technical details and interaction experience are to everyone's taste. From my point of view it is almost perfect. The basic stuff is intuitive and well served. There are difficulties with the more technical and complex ones, but everything is done so that it doesn't feel that way.
The technical support and the work with the community is beyond praise. I have never had a question that I couldn't find the answer to. This friendly business to customer atmosphere is rare these days. Thank you very much in person for that.

What do you dislike about the product?
The simple things here are implemented a head above the competition. The deeper technical things require a lot of work. But you wouldn't expect anything else with such a large volume of everything at once.
I'll start right away with a personal pain: the formula. When it comes to really complex constructions, the visual formula editor just doesn't do its job. We've already seen how it should be in Excel (brackets, error reporting, etc.). Need to do just as well, and I know the guys can do better. Just a little time.
Databases aren't perfect either. I've done some very complex stuff there, but their initial architecture makes it annoying to use annoying methods to implement what I have in mind. A special hello for the undisguised "Title" column in the database :)
Overall, its functionality is a major disadvantage in terms of optimization. It takes a lot of effort and time to keep such a set in order.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Notion both for personal purposes (writing articles, teaching, bookmarking, storing information) and for business (product, customer and purchase databases, supply calendar, task board, scheduling, etc.). I had to compromise in some places, but if you don't pay attention, Notion handles everything just fine.
No time is wasted switching between different programs. Everything has one ecosystem. My favorite principle.
Even this review is written in its godlike visual text editor. I haven't seen a better one yet.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
My friend absolutely did not like Notion, but when I explained to him personally all the advantages, it became one of the main tools. So don't be lazy to spend more time with him (or any product, for that matter). In the future he will probably recoup these costs in full.
Easy to use, adjust to ur needs
What do you like best about the product?
Exporting feature to pdf and html to then later use for Anki
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to draw on notion - notion should introduce this feature!!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Features that allow to make compatible with Anki cards by allowing me to export as html
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Organise folders and sub folders well
Great full experience
What do you like best about the product?
The huge amount of functions that the tool has
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the support team takes a long time to answer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are constantly progressing, creating new useful functions for users
Notion is my favorite platform for digital organization
What do you like best about the product?
Full customization of my systems and processes. I love that Notion doesn't prescribe how to use Notion. It can be custom-tailored to each unique situation. Master databases and relational properties are amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sharing can be tricky when it comes to master databases where I want to have some information visible but ultimately the rest of the database private. I would love for sharing to be more intuitive to both me and the people I am collaborating with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project and task management, time tracking, tracking books I've read and reading recommendations, sites and articles I want to revisit, quotes I like, recipes, note-taking, journaling.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It may take some strategic thinking up front to consider how Notion can work best for you, but once you get it all set up, it runs like a dream and is easily expandable.
Best all-in-one professional and personal planner
What do you like best about the product?
Very customizable - allows you to use templates or build out your pages manually. Their online community has a lot of great inspirational ideas too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasional glitches, but these are typically resolved immediately and their support team is quick to respond and help when needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps me with organization including todo lists, building out small tasks and larger-scale projects, writing notes, tracking events on calendars, etc.
Notion is perfect to manage and share knowledge
What do you like best about the product?
Use Notion to centralize all your knowledge and link it with all resources from different departments with databases. So when a feature is modified, it's easy to see where to update knowledge!
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately Notion is not the best to manage complex layout and integrations. Integrations only work for some specific actions in databases and that's all. If you want more, Notion is probably not for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Notion we were able to use a same tool to satisfy all departments with one unique and centraalized tool. It's flexible enough to satisfy evryone with their own usage.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a few moment to learn how to use Notion by reading some blogs or watching videos. It will be valuable.
