I full-on drunk the Koolaid
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that Notion is so versatile.
I've found that it is an excellent collaborative tool for working with clients because it helps me present a paradigm that they're already familiar with and can just start working inside of without emailing a bunch of things back and forth or having to do as much teaching. At the end of the day, everything being a "page" is a good thing.

At the end of the day, everything being a "page" is a good thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do find that there are much fewer odd quirks than when I started my Notion journey, but that said there are some growing pains that I fully believe will be resolved over time. It's easier now than it has ever been to create a better high-level project management space. I'd like to see more native integrations, searchable comments, but they're very responsive and actively improving. I have little to complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run my entire business out of Notion.
It gives me the ability to create what I need for a given purpose. Project management - check, onboarding workspace - check, client communication - check, check, check.

Notion is my second brain & the tool I never knew how much I needed.
What do you like best about the product?
I adore Notion because it gives me a place to use as my second brain - as someone that lives with chronic illness & fatigue if it isn't in Notion, it no longer gets done! I also run my own business and rely heavily on it as a productivity tool, project management system, task manager, and also for the personal tasks in my life like managing & tracking symptoms of my chronic illnesses through to shopping lists and note storage. What I love most about Notion is its flexibility - it can truly become whatever you want it to be! I also love how accessible Notion is. I've introduced so many people to it, from clients through to my family members to help manage their own business tasks or to help them manage personal tasks. Notion is incredible and you'd be hard pushed to find a use case that *doesn't* work in Notion in my opinion. And it continues to get better & evolve - the new database improvements were fantastic and show how dedicated the team are as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for Notion can be quite steep when you're starting out, and I would say that some people dive in without really understanding what they want to create (and I certainly did this at the beginning too!). Learning about productivity methods, or at least having a clear vision or picture for what you want to create, is essential in creating a usable Notion space that works for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I struggle with remembering details and tasks that need completing due to chronic fatigue and having all of my systems set up in Notion means that I'm able to land at my computer and simply do the work I want to do - and that needs to get done. Using Notion to manage my projects means I'm also never lost on what needs doing next in a project, and I can include ALL the details and set up my projects exactly how I want to, instead of having to fit my setup into another system that's more restricted.
Notion, Lifes sandbox
What do you like best about the product?
I love how notion is very flexible, although it took me a while to get used to it however once you know what you're doing, its like a sand box for you to multiple aspects in your life to your hearts content
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish notion could work in sync with some other apps, for example, although you can get google calendar to appear on your notion, you can barley interact with it. I would also like if notion had a feature which would send notifications
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to be incredibly unorganised however notion has helped me. It helps me manage finances, any person projects, also helps me stay more productive and manage my university work.
Notion is empowering!
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is flexible and enables the user to build out a world of their own. It takes a bit to start up, but very quickly you can make use of it which is rare for these types of super customisable tools. Be it private, or for business it is an amazing service that helps you organise your knowledge, build-out databases, create no-code apps and so much more. It's just a workhorse in itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Two things I would urge Notion team to change is:
- I wish they gave options of custom colours because their colour palette is limited and doesn't always work well for creating visual hierarchy.
- More security for regular users, as right now there is no secure login unless enterprise price plan.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion gives the user tools to create a custom system to manage everything with very little effort. It is very creative and it enables me to organise my life and work without feeling confined to someone else's idea of the process.
An everything software
What do you like best about the product?
One can do a lot of different stuff in Notion. Very nice to be able to connect it to other software. I use it most for its databases. Seems to be used more than its competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss some features that exists in Excel. But everything that exists seems to work. It could become better if the databases became more like excel, so that would be most important for improvements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It works as an awesome program for a small business. It has not helped us financially so far I believe. But our productivity and business performance seem to be higher.
Best All In One Workspace for business professionals
What do you like best about the product?
I am a business professional and I've tried every single app out there. I have to say, Notion is the best. It's easy to use, has all the features one needs and it looks great too! The best part is that it integrates with my other apps seamlessly, so I don't need to switch between different platforms when I work on a project.
Some specific features i like the most
- Dark Theme
- Quick Search
- Easy accessibility to all the features and tools with shortcuts
- Easy & beautiful layout
- All-in-one workspace

What do you dislike about the product?
Although it comes with many useful features, there is always room for improvement Notion is not easy to setup and does have a learning curve. However, once you get it set up, it has the potential for some really powerful features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to use different apps for things like to-do lists. But now, I don't need to switch between different programs and the entire project is right there in one place. As a result, it's easy to monitor everything and keep my priorities straight.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've tried a number of different planning organization tools, but Notion is the best one. I'm able to customize it in any way I want and it's really easy to use. The other apps feel like they're too rigid and don't offer enough customization options. Notion is my favorite app!
I can do everything in Notion!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Notion is flexible and code-able. You can tailor a page to fit whatever you can visualize - adjusting blocks, embedding links and media, formulas, etc. Everything is here - you can have word document, a database (sheet), a presentation, a CRM, sales tracker, literally anything you can think of, you can build it within notion. No need to switch between different apps/software.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how you can't copy-and-paste paragraphs from other websites into notion 'cause it separates each line as a block. Prevents me from migrating documents efficiently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of having to switch between lots of software/apps for managing a project. No more using google docs, google sheets, google slides etc. You can do everything in one workspace where anyone can collaborate and comment. The updates on the top left corner helps the most.

Takes a few weeks to get used to but you'll love it
A great tool for both personal life and work. Notion can be both you and your team's second brain.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a very powerful tool for building a wiki or knowledge base for your company. Apart from this Notion's powerful database and views can be used to create a small operating system for your company. We started using Notion for both the first and second uses in our small all-remote startup.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion could be expensive if you are a small startup. We got credits from Notion as an early-stage startup and onboarded all of our users. Soon, we realised that only a few users actually create content and the others are mostly consuming the content and making light edits. As a small startup it did not make sense for us to continue paying a monthly fee for each user. There is no plan which allows you to have different types of licenses for document creators and others who make light edits.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Notion primarily as a knowledge base at our all-remote early-stage startup. As an early-stage startup having a knowledge base where our colleagues can write short/long form documents is crucial to our way of working which is async in nature.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the best app for all purposes be it study, freelancing, business, or even just to-do lists. It's a great have. You can start it for free and upgrade and downgrade anytime you want.
It's an easy app to navigate and I especially love the desktop app!
What do you like best about the product?
As a chronic pen-and-paper notetaker, I was surprised how much I liked Notion. Having separate 'note' pages that I can easily navigate between, and templates for everyday/business use is already 10x better than any other software I've used before!
What do you dislike about the product?
For a beginner it's a bit difficult to understand from the get-go. It would be helpful to have a 'recently viewed' tab on the left-hand side of the screen to quickly switch between pages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me keep all my personal notes, as well as company-related information all in one place. As my company has laid down protocols to follow and software that doesn't have tutorials online, anything and everything I need to know is stored here.
