A do it all Wiki that is really easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can immediately create pages and categories to start documenting your projects.
Also, the "advanced" tables with board views are a solid alternative to other project management tools

What do you dislike about the product?
The sharing feature could benefit from a redesign ut works well already.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All project documentation and Todo lists and cards for the team.
Having everything In the same place is great. For our needs, Notion has replaced several different tools.

Notion opens a whole new world of possibility!
What do you like best about the product?
Notion can be made into whatever you want it to be. I use it as a project management tool, a database, a note-taking app, a website for running a university department, a collaboration tool with other faculty members, etc.
The flexibility and sheer power of the platform make it possible to build simple and complex solutions for a wide range of personal and work challenges.
Notion also has an intuitive interface making it easy to get started with the tool. When you get stuck (because you've run out of ideas) there's an enthusiastic community behind the product to back you up.
The fact that you also get most of this goodness for free is the icing on the cake. I'm sure you can tell that I love the platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there isn't much to dislike. I would mention though that it may appear to have a steep learning curve at first, simply because it is like staring at a blank canvas. However, the beauty is that once you start tinkering, it gets exciting and borderline addictive as you build software solutions that work for you. And all of this without needing to learn how to code~
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion at my full-time job to manage an academic department. Some specific usage scenarios include student advising, timetabling courses, preparing courses, making info websites etc. Notion has proved easy to use and very flexible for us to tailor to meet the needs of our department.
I also use it to manage projects that I work on with my clients and it makes it easy to have documentation in one place where it is easy to track all the information that I need for my client work.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check out the many YouTube channels that provide Notion tips and tricks, they'll get you up to speed much faster than trying to do everything on your own. People such as August Bradley, Marie Poulin, William Nutt and many others produce lots of superb content on the many things that are possible with Notion. I mustn't leave out the Notion official YouTube channel (it's excellent).
If you prefer text-based tutorials then you can look up William Nutt's notion.vip site that has a ton of excellent tutorials.

Functional tool for Cloud document storage
What do you like best about the product?
I like using the software because it is easy to use due to the UI/UX being well developed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Collum visibility was a little confusing at first, however after using the search feature that was no longer an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We store all of our company documents on Notion which allows us to work remotely with ease.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Notion for startups looking to streamline workflow and productivity.
Notion has been adopted across the entire business from day one.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is super collaborative and is incredibly easy to use. From day one the platform was really intuitive and it didn't take any training internally of externally for the entire team to begin using the platform. I don't think that I have ever used a software in a business before that took off so quickly! The interface has clearly had a lot of focus on the user experience as the flow to find information is really easy. okrgokg ok rfgodfgj modfkdofkdf okaodk pafk ap
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything that I dislike about Notion. As a minor point I think it would be great if there was a function around creating graphs and automating the 'un-ticking' of tick boxes for tasks that need to be completed every day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have built all of our companies internal resources around Notion. This includes all of our companies onboarding guides, playbooks and we are even logging notes from meetings and 1-2-1s in here so none of this data is siloed across the business and is accessible for whoever needs to access it. This is especially useful as we have been onboarding employees remotely and they need access to training materials.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use this product. It has made life so much easier for me as everything related to my day to day is easily accessible in one workspace. I am even using a personal Notion workspace for managing my day to day personal to do list and I'm getting much more done as this is accessible on both desktop and my mobile. It was good timing on our part as all teams in the business were building out their playbooks so it made sense to use something like Notion although for smaller teams I don't think Notion would be as relevant.
Kills several other tools and replacing Notion will be unimaginable once you get going
What do you like best about the product?
It blends modern contend and does embeds very nicely Bookmarks and YoTube links now have a good weighting to them.
Crosslinking content is a delight.
The synchronisation is the best I have seen it's been flawless for me, I use three to five different devices and machines every day and this is the glue for my content.
The seamless Emoji and Custom Icon feature for topics is surprisingly powerful and helpful in helping you find your notes, particularly during the searches.
The Web Clipper is pretty well behaved.
The management of the complexity of rich inline tables is very good it's powerful but not frustrating or intimidating.
Guest Collaboration is more important than ever and I like the Notion approach to managing this.
The way Content is Nested is very slick you will never want to go back to complex folder structures.
The thought of ever using Sharepoint again over this tool would be a deal-breaker.

What do you dislike about the product?
Linux needs a full client.
Some of the keyboard shortcuts could be shortened a little more.
Really needs the Official API released.
Defaults and Templates are not the best but they work well enough.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing Bookmarks at scale is virtually impossible to do well now it's seamless.
Have retired Evernote which was not much fun to manage 10,000 plus notes in
Very quick to create content and then moving it around later is a joy.
Good for compiling research, and planning.
Flip the script and you are creating Documentation as you go without making it a chore to do afterwards.

I truly LOVE this product, company and people
What do you like best about the product?
At optemizaiton.com, Notion is everything. I manage my projects, tasks, deliverables, meetings, people, organizations, content, websites on this platform. It incredibly unique its lack of structure, which allows the users to create their own hierarchy that is always evolving with the organization. Beyond that, there is an incredible sense of design and a welcoming and king community.
What do you dislike about the product?
The byproduct of a team that meticulously cares about every nook and cranny of the product is slow development. As of August 2020, the API has been alluded and discussed for nearly three years. A lot of people find that and the lack of offline mode really frustrating. Beyond that, my clients often find themselves overwhelmed with the open nature of the product, so you might need to find and digest a lot of resources before setting up a highly productive space for yourself or your company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion is the main hub of all business information for optemization.com. Finding content is supremely easy and my teammates have never had difficulty figuring where a specific project or deliverable is.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you find yourself overwhelmed with the possibilities, consider hiring an implementation consultant or heading over to the community pages on Reddit, Discord or starting a conversation on Twitter.
Notion is the best!

I didn't get it at first, now I can't live without Notion
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is like my personal library or archive. Everything I want to save—quotes, articles, photos, whatever you can think of—I have stored and organized in my Notion.
I especially love reading lists and Notion is perfect for aggregating articles and resources for learning and sharing my research. It's also incredibly easy to use and straightforward.

What do you dislike about the product?
Notion is so well thought out, it's hard to pick something to dislike. I'd love to see white label pages and custom domains.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to have Dropbox folders filled with PDFs (even PDFs of webpages) and thousands of links saved in Pocket. Now, I have everything neatly organized in Notion. It's like my second brain.
Notion is to google drive, what slack is to emails - game changer
