Extremely customizable, good for creating your own structure.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can add pretty much anything I can think of to Notion. It's like Google Docs merged with Google Sheets and a lot nicer to look at.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion does a little bit of everything and not enough of some things. I really like it as a general-purpose catch-all, but I prefer to stick to my single-use apps for anything that might have specialized requirements (like using Google Sheets for tables). That doesn't mean i don't love Notion for when I need to mix and match; that is where it excels.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
See above. When I need to use multiple types of documents with one another, Notion does it very well — for example, creating a word document with a table embedded in it. I also like that I can link pages within pages. It is beneficial for our team to knowledge-share this way.
Flexible yet powerful!
What do you like best about the product?
It's flexible to design and build your own workflows to please your aesthetic requirements and powerful at the same time to build robust systems and workflows. You can connect databases together, their formula field si very powerful and they have a clean canvas and they're reliable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their app is slow and doesn't work offline which makes most of the use-cases needed to work on the go pretty useless through their app. They're also slow in terms of releasing new stuff
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been using it to manage my entire life + my work. Since it's easy to build interconnected systems in Notion, I've managed to make a project management system, OKR, financial tracker, habit tracker, time management system, book reading, notebook system. You can literally replace tons of tools out there using Notion
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you love simplicity, it's for you. If you love building complex systems for your personal use, it's for you. It's not for you if you're a team size of +20. It's not built for big teams
Took some time to learn, but powerful tool when you know how to use it!
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is highly versatile as a notetaking, collaboration, and organization tool. There are helpful integrations that reduce the number of tools I need to switch to throughout the day.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion Search is not good. It's slow, seemingly random, and doesn't make finding the correct document easy to find. It feels like this is the biggest area of improvement for users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Notion, I used Google Sheets/Docs/Drive, which is helpful, but it's nice to have the entire company using a single tool that's flexible enough for all teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Notion has excellent support & they genuinely care about serving their customers.
Powerful with a learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
I love how customizable Notion is and there's a way for me to implement it in many different aspects of my life.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a learning curve to finding how to make it work best for your needs; the openness of the platform can be overwhelming at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing my productivity better and able to see the overlap between projects on a larger scale.
Great collaborative note-taking software
What do you like best about the product?
Notion makes it easy to take team meeting notes in real time and quickly assign tasks to team members. I like its simple design and user-friendly UI accessible to a range of users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although I like Notion's no bells-and-whistles UI, I would prefer some options for visual notetaking/whiteboarding, if possible. Or if these features already exist, I'd like to see them more clearly from the menu options. Also, I've found that real-time updates are sometimes slightly delayed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team and I use Notion extensively for meeting notes, and the real-time updates are appreciated. I was recently in a meeting and saw my colleague typing notes as we were speaking, and I was glad to see I didn't have to take notes myself!
Best app for organising notes
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is more smooth now and alot of new features are also introduced. Also with the addition of the Notion AI using notion has become much more simple and helpful. The AI can translate complete pages, analyze your notes, give insights on your data, help to create data and much more. I cannot suggest a much better notes keeping and sharing tool than notion. Recently I have planned a trip so I have noted everything down and using the AI also improved that alot and then shared the link to my friends so that they can also see the itinerary and they were impressed with the clean design and how easy it is to share there type of notes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am still not sure on that. Like the needs that I have it fulfills those there is noting extra I need from that. So I dont have anything that notion can improve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that notion solves for me is the ease of taking notes and managing them. It maintains and keeps the notes in a very organized way which saves a lot of time and we can access them anywhere anytime.
Great platform for written collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I love how it facilitates the process of live documentation and reporting between teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
The project management and database features could be more fleshed out. Like Click-up and Airtable
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication and documentation of remote work. It's wonderful how flexible Notion is to solve this problem.
Best way to organize your thoughts and plans
What do you like best about the product?
You can write commands for each line and select the type of style you want. You can quickly create new to-dos list, make travel plans and so on. I used sticky notes and evernote before but I didn't get the performance that I get from Notion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any comment about downside of the product. Since it is note taking application, it is based on personal needs. Maybe it can be too complicated to new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First, I plan my to-dos for my job.
Second, I can prepare a reading list and pin links into my list.
Third, I used it to take some notes while I am taking online courses.

Best note taking tool that I've used
What do you like best about the product?
Notion offers many different ways to organize content & provides first-class integrations with many other providers to allow for snippets to be shown with Notion, even if the original content is elsewhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integrations, while seamless on the web browser, seem to work inconsistently on the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion as primarily an organizational tool for knowledge management
While that's broad, Notion makes it easy to categorize content in a beneficial way. For example, while it allows me to save links to long essays on the web, it also allows me to rate that long read & write down broad summary points, so I don't have to read the article too many times.

user friendly, scalable, reliable
What do you like best about the product?
very easy to use (built with design thinking)
What do you dislike about the product?
perhaps they can add a lot more examples/use cases that would enhance notion's utility
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
efficient internal process documentation, easy access to ref docs for clients, creating a cohesive onboarding flow, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Notion is very modular, so feel free to try different use cases with this...
