Your Business and Life - All In One Location!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact I can keep my entire life and business in one single app, and that I can access it via desktop or mobile. The price is amazing. $5/month for a single user. It's like having a bullet journal in digital form that I can carry around with me everywhere. I can create sections for any facet of my life: work, home, personal, and more. It's excellent!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some areas leave a little bit to be desired in terms of design and layout. I would like the ability to have a top-to-bottom kanban board versus a left-to-right one. I would also love to see the option to color code calendar events, tables in spreadsheets, and cards in the kanban view for us people who are visual thinkers and organizers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to keep random notes in various Notepad files to the point where my entire Documents folder was full of txt files, plus physical notebooks and more. Notion condenses all of that into one location.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of their template/page library as well as their tutorials. Also, consider using the cover photo and icon options to jazz up your workspaces.
Collaboration made easy
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is a great tool to work in a team. Easy to organise and easy to collaborate. Multiple ppl can be on the document at the same time and make the changes at the some time. Also it offer a great notification on the changes your colleagues made. ( by sending an email with the direct link to the change)
Easy to reorganise and allow you to add a combination of the documents forms tables, text, images etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up the formulas in the tables could be easier ( closer to the Google doc)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy to work on one project within the team. Easy to collaborate and clear visibility on changes in the document.
Notion is very flexible - allows you to rearange the page by dragging and dropping elements of the document.
It allows you to combine different forms of presenting the information eg. Spreadsheets etc

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend to use notion. Notion has a great range of tools that will allow you to create clear documents that are easy available to everyone on your team to use. Great to collaborate on any project, easy to track the changes.
Pretty great but confusing
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is amazing, and it makes anyone want to actually use the software, which in turns makes using it fun, and makes you want to have things as complete as you possibly can so that all looks pretty and useable. Actually, I was turned on to using Notion because I saw my colleagues using it and it looked so darn fun, I just had to try it! Sure enough, it was fun, and my note taking got prettier than ever!
What do you dislike about the product?
The UX is rather confusing, and the page navigation within the notes and in the app, in general, is not really intuitive and it's one of the reasons that make me not want to use the app even though I try to use it because it looks so pretty!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm trying to better organize my workload and increase productivity through a well crafted personal work wiki.
Great Wiki for both personal and professional
What do you like best about the product?
Mostly full autonomy on stylizing and formatting without the huge learning curve associated with teams at scale (as well as the ease of collaboration!)
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the functionalities for tables/charts can be a bit limiting. Personally, the emojis can also be a bit distracting
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With full autonomy comes a bit of issues with updating across teams. Luckily though, there is an activity log to view revisions.
What Evernote & G-Drive Should Been
What do you like best about the product?
OH MY GOD, THE PRICE. Notion should be charging way more for the value it provides. + the Fluidity of the platform and ease of rearranging information, pages, sections, and relating/connecting documents and pages. Goodbye to the nightmare of hyperlinking everything
What do you dislike about the product?
Some functionality is limited, i.e. PLEASE ADD CRM INTEGRATIONS WITH SALESFORCE EVEN IF ITS LIMITED. Additionally, if I have an excel sheet with data that needs to be added to an already existing table, I can download the notion table and merge it with the CSV but I CANNOT upload my CSV to the notion table it nor copy and paste the entire data set to it. I have to add the data field by field/one at a time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing customer research and simplified ability to collect, organize and gather the information that excel does not allow for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Literally, Notion will eliminate this scenario: 'that series of documents' held together by hyperlinks that you keep trying to get your team to refer back to because they 'forgot about the info in them' or 'don't know where x info can be found'
Great tool to gather all your important notes and work in one place
What do you like best about the product?
It's simple to use. It's a bundle of different tools at a very reasonable price. I think that's one of the best solutions when you're freelancer. You can use use it professionally as well as for the personal organization.
What I like in Notion in the freedom you have to create what you want the way you want. I use it for my OKR (work) as well as for my next christmas wishlist (personal).
One of the most important Notion features is a powerful note-taking. You can add a list, plain text, videos, sound, code snippets
You can personalize it by adding nice images.
You have nice templates you can use such as meeting notes, personal CRM, or project management.

What do you dislike about the product?
You really need your other colleagues to dive into Notion if you want to get the full potential of the tool. If some other colleagues prefer using tools like Trello, Google Agenda, or Confluence, you lose some benefits of the system.
I think the price gets a bit high when a whole team is onboarded into Notion. There should be a more reasonable price when there is big group of people.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps you get organized. You can easily create agendas, to-do lists and organize your documents. You can link it to other tools such as Google Drive.
You gather everything in one place. I still using Google Agenda and Google Drive but it makes the hub between all my tools. You can link or import Google sheets or Google Docs as well as Trello projects.
The best feature I use is Projet Management for my personal blog. I write a lot and contrary to Google Docs, Notion helps me to gather all my notes, images and links in a clean and proper way. Combined with the project management system, I know what I need to write next, or what articles need to be reviewed.

Absolutely essential for any business
What do you like best about the product?
It's the single most important tool for any startup or business. You don't realise how much information there is flowing through a business until you see it all laid out in a wiki like Notion. It's a super flexible system and everybody we got on it loves using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes might be a little too complex for new people to get their heads round to how it works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing and organising company knowledge and projects.
Beyond note taking, possibilities are many!
What do you like best about the product?
I switched from evernote and Notion was a refreshing, the layout, nesting notes and the elements within the notes. I've moved all my documentation and meeting notes here from paid Evernote. Now sharing notes with clients and my team is a breeze. I especially like the elements such as headers and intuitive tables that have things easy. I'm presently trying the wiki function.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's taking time to learn all the features, on-boarding could be better (even for clients as well)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documentation and note taking for my organizations and sharing notes to clients and team as well (meetings notes, plans etc)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can use it for your

3. Client meeting notes

Notion has changed my expectations for all future documentation tools
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to hand craft everything I'm needing at this current time, live in a document, with just my keyboard is a phenomenal experience. Being able to create a new dataset in a table, visualize it as a calendar, drill down by custom properties, and link that same database inside another document? Life changing features.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I'd say my number one benefit of Notion is keyboard controls, it struggles to provide the same comfort to regular users. People who aren't as keyboard savvy are often asking how to do things, and I show them via keyboard shortcut. It's not truly accessible to everyone in its current state.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're now using Notion for our entire project, aside from real time conversations in slack. We organize all our documentation, calendars, and project planning inside of Notion.
We have a kanban style board with all our work, drilled down into several custom views for ease of use. Being able to browse projects by bugs, tasks, epics, assignee is awesome. Each user can also make a private page, and embed custom tables for themselves. They're now able to create personalized trello boards and micromanage their tasks in their own way.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use color/icons a lot in notion. It will make you feel excited both to create a document, but also to own it. You really appreciate the things you create in Notion.
Best collaboration software!
What do you like best about the product?
Very helpful to keep everything you need in one place.You can keep track of all your work in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The load time of Notion is quite slow both in mobile and desktop application. It will almost take 30 seconds for the mobile app to load which is very frustrating. Faster app load time would make the user experience very smooth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing of day to day activities is very helpful using Notion features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Notion is the best application for managing, organising, planning all your activities. Don't think twice. Give it a try.
