Customizability at its best, a rich community and constant innovation
What do you like best about the product?
Notion lives up to its claims of an all-in-one productivity workspace. From maintaining lecture notes that can be structured based on customized templates, to keeping track of class attendances, top questions and points to discuss in class using calendars, to using timeline views to manage schedules, Notion has helped me and my tech-starved colleagues to take to the fully online mode of instruction very aptly.
Access sharing is easy, pages can be exported to PDF/CSV to be sent to administrative staff, and stuff is way more organized in the hierarchical structure than it was with the Google Docs-Google Drive combo that we used earlier.

What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app could use some responsive improvement. A lot of the times, moving around tasks and delegating them to other departments needs to happen when one is not in contact of a physical machine, and it's a pain to do it on the mobile app. Integration support with GCal has also been a long time coming, and having to make do with community driven third party tools works, but isn't good enough as a native integration
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems being solved :
- Attendance management
- Lecture notes
- Class schedules
- Theses planning
- Seminar flow planning
Benefits
- Single document store to house variety of use cases and artifacts in a hierarchical fashion
- Extremely customizable, meaning that it tweaks to our requirement, not the other way round
- Appealing to the eye - we actually feel like using it, rather than looking at it with the same dread with which we open our emails

Feature Management Solution
What do you like best about the product?
You can format each "feature" or project however you want - add questions, link to other cards, tag people, etc. Because we are using to capture development, design and marketing teams this flexibility is mandatory and helps so much. It helps every team understand the roadmap as well as capture the source of truth for discussions, details, etc. It is ideal that the tool exists outside of each team's separate company software (Teams, Slack, etc.) so everyone has the same access.
What do you dislike about the product?
The desktop app never works on PC, which is frustrating. It would be easier to utilize the desktop app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We did not previously have a unified view of our product's roadmap. Notion helps provide that view and allows for the flexibility of prioritizing work and changing those priorities if needed. We are also able to more easily break down features into MVP, and then link multiple different features together.
Great tool to organize a team
What do you like best about the product?
Easy and intuitive customization. Easy to create a system that can scale with your team, and tailored exactly to our needs at the time.
What do you dislike about the product?
We often find ourselves wishing that the inline tables could be left-aligned on pages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using notion to organize the operations of each department of the business. It replaces what would have been multiple subscriptions to multiple tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get familiar with the / hotkey. When you first create your account, play around with the different templates to see what process you like. Make sure you utilize the different views available for each workspace.

Has improved my workflow, but hard to use on iPad or mobile

Easy to create structured notes, wikis for the company and maintain them rather than a lost archive of hundreds of notes.

Better note-taking, remote collaboration across the company for wikis, projects etc.

- Not perfect, but can handle various necessary tasks like Kanban boards
What do you dislike about the product?
- I think it would be better if the team plan offered a bit more support than the free plan. (The free storage is measured in blocks, so if you hit enter often, the blocks run out quickly...)
- Too many alarms are coming.
