Super friendly to use, can have everything organized in the same place
What do you like best about the product?
LInk block to avoid duplicating the information, inline tables, embedding a google doc, adding emojis to my texts!
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't perform formulas per field (like a spreadsheet) in the databases, that'd be awesome!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing info with the team (in a really visible way) allows us to have real-time information and being able to collaborate
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give a change and see if it fits your needs :)
Great software, but with bugs and no offline support
What do you like best about the product?
The sheer amount of various functionality is amazing. Especially the database views are very flexible and useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Constant bugs, taking long time to fix. I basically don’t remember a time when I used Notion without running into any.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to take notes, and organize stuff. I also use it as my todo list. I like that I here everything in a single place. Before Notion, I had to use multiple tools for this.
Notion is pretty pretty good
What do you like best about the product?
I like the diverse functionality of Notion. You can use it for team meetings, team wiki, a place to store important docs and resources, and for personal project or task tracking.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the table functionality was similar to Google Sheets/Excel. I want to be able to use the same syntax that I would in those tools in a Notion table. I would like also to be able to add custom emojis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion allows my team and I to better organize resources, docs, and meeting notes and collaborate easier than in Google. Collaborating on Google can look really noisy and chaotic, whereas Notion keeps things pretty clean and easy to navigate.
Intuitive, user-friendly, and fun!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Notion offers a great interface to collaborate with peers. It is easy to create pages that have a lot of content and peers can be tagged so that they may view information and comment directly. It's also more practical to use Notion when there is a lot of information as it is more readable and the load time is faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main issue with Notion is that it can quickly become a never ending suite of Notion pages that are embedded into each other. This makes navigating Notion a bit overwhelming at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps us have all documents in the same place and is easy to navigate. In addition, it is a great tool to share a great quantity of information with other teams as you can put an almost unlimited amount of info.
It’s a super versatile tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Having a place for everything and being and being able to organise it all in a more editorial way.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's quite expensive. If it was cheaper to add clients to pages, I would use it in more circumstances.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Knowledge management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Getting several tutorials.
Notion is one of the new generation of tool-building tools, but requires discipline to use
What do you like best about the product?
- Simple, flexible content model.
- Simple, robust layout.
- Relational tables are a game changer.

- Relational tables are a game changer.
What do you dislike about the product?
- Lack of automation (despite acquiring an automation company).
- Very poor import/export functionality, especially related to tables and relations.
- Weak formula language, rather than using a more robust existing approach to scripting.
- Poor management of property layout and visibility.
- Lack of follow-through on database views: views don't apply to relation properties.
- Underpowered rollup properties: can't be accessed by value, can't be used in rollups.
- Poor history view.
- Lack of "suggest changes" view when editing collaboratively, making review of edits impractical.
- Way too easy to unintentionally cause havoc by editing/deleting properties that are used in views you don't even know exist. There are no safety belts.
- The UI for editing table views and properties has had an overhaul. While streamlining certain things and adding capabilities, it also became rather cluttered and obscure.

Appoint someone to be an active Editor in Chief, or your workspace will be a big ball of mud.
Notion is not only fun to use but quite user friendly!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to create templates

I can't think of anything I dislike at all

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say that you should most certainly consider it if you would like a program that connects your whole company and brings everyone together on one platform! it's amazing!
The best organisational tool I've ever tried
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility to create a system 100% personalized
The template feature
The ability to collaborate with teams, partners, and clients in real-time directly in Notion without having to send never-ending emails
The Notion team always listening to feedback to create a better product every day

What do you dislike about the product?
The blank page when we begin with Notion, even if with templates, it can be quickly handled
The impossibility to create recurring tasks without using the API and a third-party tool like Make or Zapier

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is basically an extension of my brain today. All my life, business, knowledge, projects are written and organized in Notion so I can focus on what my brain do best : thinking
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a tool to centralize all your ideas, notes, tasks, go for it !
Most useful app for students!
What do you like best about the product?
As a student, i particularly like the rich note-taking experience that notion provides. I can use the standard mardown langauage for note taking, but can also attach and embed links, attach PDFs, use TeX for math, and so on.
The most useful feature of notion however, is it's pwoerful databases, I used them to organize my notes, track my project progress and even make a resource map. I have even used databases to track my rally times in Dirt Rally 2.0!

What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that is sorely missing in the notion note taking experience is tables, we do have databases, but sometimes all you want is a simple table. Additionally, writing functions and automations for databases could be made simpler and more intuituve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion also makes sharing and collaborating especially easy and intuitive. It was specially useful in group projects and in collaborating on stuff during the WFH times. My team really appreciated the inbuilt kanban board.
Good product for sharing a workspace for collaborating with others in your company
What do you like best about the product?
It is simple to use and the integration with slack is very helpful for notifications. The database feature is neat as well and provides a good platform and simplistic use in comparison to other similar products like Confluence or other workplace apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how in the database, the headings are not capable of wrapping text. The only way to view heading tabs are to extend the tab or hover over them. I also don't like how the notifications aren't preset to send emails even while active in the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving our interim process for contract intake. It's a simple space for people to add contracts and for legal to track what has come in. The database is good also for providing status updates and checkboxes for completing certain tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is good for workplace productivity. You can find yourself becoming a superuser in no time and it can be used in many areas of your work.
