More than just Note Taking with Notion
What do you like best about the product?
Complete customizable, you can reference tables and pages inside other pages, which makes it easy to only have to edit things in one area versus many areas. You can embed photos, videos, links, and more basically building a 'website' of a database for everything you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does take some trial and error and watching videos or reading help docs to really understand what you are doing and get the most out of the customizations and flow of pages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion gives us the ability to reference help docs across multiple pages and easily search information. This avoids duplication or outdated info.

Great for recording training materials
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Notion is easy to use and has an intuitive interface. It's a lot like a word processor, but with the added abillity to embed multimedia. It's also easy for the end user to navigate through.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really dislike having to log in via an emailed code every time. I wish there was a username and password login method.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I started my job as a graphic designer at a health & wellness company, we had a few onboarding tutorials and SOPs on Notion because the other graphic designer was remote. Over a couple years I built out really robust employee onboarding & SOP tutorials, so robust that I actually consulted it for a lot of things even though I wrote it, and that we started using it to onboard the non-designers on our team too. I like that it's easy to embed multimedia because that's definitely needed for design-focused tutorials. And I like being able to add links really easily, even cross-reference links within Notion. The click-and-drag function is especially good for easy formatting. I don't know any other program that would have worked as well for what I did.

Great Design, Basically Unusable Due to Extreme Lag Across All Apps and Web
What do you like best about the product?
The modular, elegant design makes it not only a note-taking tool to best the traditional players like Evernote, but a powerful all-in-one work management tool for things like project management, documentation, meeting agendas, and much more. The fact that everything is a page and you can create databases of pages with relationships to each other (e.g. database of clients with relationship to a tasks database, so you can tie a client-specific task to that client) makes it one of the most powerful no-code solutions for creating a digital business's workspace.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be slow when you have complex pages with lots of different blocks, references to databases, and/or synced blocks. They've been improving speed issues progressively and lately I've only experienced this in rare cases, and when page setups may just simply be too complex and in need of re-architecting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workflows like newsletter and blog production, meeting agendas, notebooks, databases of various things we want to save e.g. ideas for future newsletters or sources of inspiration, newsletter and blog writing with the help of the built-in AI assistant.
Organization in its simplest form
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Notion? Its integrations!
I incredibly appreciate the range of blocks that allow you to embed whatever your heart desires. My personal favorite is the Replit embed for sharing code, and the database blocks are super high up there too.
Some notable features that I love:
- All about data! Organize your data in any manner, layout, or appearance you like.
- The design! It's easy to adopt and excellent for power users. There is no complication and it values simplicity.
- Unlimited use cases. I use Notion on my team and in my personal life. Sometimes it's for tracking todos and other times for monitoring projects.

What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike about Notion. It's unopinionated and leaves everything up to you. I guess my biggest critique would be its speed and uptime. Notion's growth has led to some occasional downtime due to their servers being unable to handle the traffic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses Notion to track customer feedback and progress on our products. In my personal life, I use it to write down ideas, track goals, and get an insight into my lifestyle.
Right when I started using Notion, the benefits become apparent.
- Everything is in one place. No searching through notebooks or confusing organizational systems.
- Transform ideas from just a thought to reality. Notion is great for tracking goals and helping you stay on path.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Notion is a relatively hard platform to Admin. I believe they may have made some changes recently, but limiting access to certain pages for certain users is a bit cumbersome.
- For the "Team" plan at $8 per user, the amount of content you can create is based on "Blocks". Most small to medium teams will blow right past their 1,000 block limit. Upgrading to the "Enterprise" plan with unlimited blocks at $20 per user is quite a jump in price.
- From the author's standpoint, the clean and open nature of their pages can sometimes feel overwhelming. When starting with such a blank page, it's sometimes hard to know where to start, ultimately leading to writer's block. There are standardized templates, but I feel like for non-creative minded people like myself it's hard to get going. You really need to first envision how you would like your page to look before getting started, rather than write and re-arrange later like I tend to do.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having an easy-to-use and accessible knowledge center is a must for small-sized companies trying to scale. The goal should be to reduce the amount of time employees spend looking for information, including new hires. In small-sized companies, knowledge tends to be handed down verbally or located in multiple places, thus making it difficult to find. We ran into this issue as our company was growing, but the biggest challenge is creating ownership for updating the information.
Unlimited possibilities and enormous flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
The seamless cross device access and integration with 100's of auxilary services
What do you dislike about the product?
The Template organisation can be made better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Note taking like a personal journal
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I heard there are a lot of potential competing products like One note. But I personally love notion for the templates and hyperlinking
So many tools all in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Notes and spreadsheets and links are all in one place easy to find. No more looking for where I stored this or that on my computer
What do you dislike about the product?
The properties layout is a single column only with no options to put your properties fields into 2 or 3 columns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of multiple lists and notes related to accounts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it! You really can't lose. It's priced very nicely for a solo freelancer and the software updates never take away functions nor do the updates force you to change the way you have been using the software. You will likely find that this software fixes or improves something you didn't even know needed to be fixed or improved.
