Notion Reviews & Product Details

The possibility of building your own tools as your team and needs evolve. It is great for all needs, from simple note taking to complex project management and KPI monitoring. All our teams use Notion on a daily basis; it has become our own little ERP !

Table are sometimes slighlty frustrating to calculate totals, percentages, ratios, etc. and require some workarounds using relations and rollups. Yet, we've found that the integrations (like Grid) can do the job great !

We used to use Google docs + a project management tool (Clickup) and have moved everything to Notion. It replaces both marvellously and enables all teams to centralize info at all times.

Notion is very flexible for your needs. You can choose from a variety of templates that suits any situation

In web version, big pages are loaded a little bit slowly.

I don't need to keep everything in my mind anymore because now I can spill my thoughts in Notion.

the toogle function. it allows me to structure my exam schemes. Also th data base makes it easy to organize all the relevant law cases and the keywork function makes it easy to repeat specific topics.

there is only one typeface. it would be nice to have a comment function that doesnt show the comment on the side but shows a small window once you move the cursor on a speccific word.

In order to repeat the exam schemes for my german law degree i neede a tool that allows me to fold and unfold the conditions of a §§. The german law study isnt digitalzied yet and the books are really heavy. after i uploaded all my personal notes, the cases and the desicions, i only need my ipad to study. what a relief!

Notion is an unbelievably useful application. Want to manage your calendar, its got it. Want to build a CRM database, done. No code simplicity at its finest, the best application out there

The only downside of Notion is that it is so powerful you almost get overwhelmed with what it can do. The only improvement I would make is integration with grammarly.

Notion allows me to keep EVERYTHING that is relevant to my life, both business and personal, in one place. The ease with which you can organize, re-organize and search through your notes is both intuitive and efficient. The different formats you can use to manage projects, from boards to table views accommodates anyone and everyones preferences.

I love the way you can connect you pages with each other. Love the tables and how you can put content into something like excel but with content in it. I use it to my personal life and to all my studies - I'm a doctor so I use it to put everythin I learn and use it as consulting platform. The best thing is I can use it anywhere! I love the Notion team, I´ve contacted them sometimes now and the service is excellent. I think I couldn't imagine my life without it now.

The only thing they could do better for now is to adapt the new tables feature and allow to join cells (like one can do with tables on Microsoft tools). The function "search" could also work for the documents that you put upload. That would make it perfect.

I have all the medical knowledge in one place. And I don't have to search for the ppt in an external drive or anything. I have all about one disease in one single page and if I need to correlate it, I can put a direct link for the other stuff I want to know about.

Notion is a user friendly software/website that makes it so easy to organize my tasks, life, and work. I highly recommend to everyone who is done using alternatives with ugly UI and are cumbersome.

The only thing I dislike about Notion is that it operates on a freemium model like lots of software. BUT they must do that to make money, and who wouldn't support a great product?

Notion is helping me with preproduction for all my filmmaking needs: storyboarding, scripting, general note taking, etc. It is also helping me track engagement with my audience!

best parts I find about Notion is that it is extremely flexible so that you can manage your data in many different ways depending on your needs.

there still seem to be few features missing here and there, but overall it is already good enough. typing on mobile is some times lagging though, which hopefuly gets improved soon.

the best part is that it is so flexible that we tend to use it for all of our internal processes which keeps all data centralized and easy to find and manage.

The best thing about Notion is it's versatility. Whether you're looking to build a website, a calendar, a book review database, and more, Notion can do it. You can build anything with your own style.

Pretty much nothing at all. Over the years of using Notion, I've never had any major issue, only small technicalities which were quickly solved when I contacted their very helpful user support team.

Notion is my second brain. With every scrap of paper and deadline in my personal, educational, and professional life, it's hard to keep track. Notion lets me keep a detailed history of all my knowledge in one place, and I can organize it exactly as is best for my brain. I can share presentations and information-bases. I have everything I could ever need in one reliable place and access it from any of my devices.

Notion has become such an integral part of my daily routine. I am using Notion for almost everything throughout my day, starting with project and task management, gathering Wikis, managing an editorial calendar, and more. Notion Databases has changed the game for me making all my ideas, content, and itineraries organized just the way i want and viewd just the way it makes sense along with the powerful filtering capabilities; it just works...!!! The recent introduction of Notion AI has made me so productive, helping me write content much faster, helping me find relevant information on the fly, improving my writing and change the tone of content as needed. i would say it's a perfect co-pilot for content creators.

I find a few minor problems with accessibility. I am visually impaired, rely on Zoom, and require a darker or high-contrast background to comprehend text on the screen. The lack of Theming or the ability to choose Color preference, like what obsidian offers, is a problem. I also find a few problems with the desktop app not working correctly with the Read aloud feature built in into windows Magnifier.

Notion fits my needs perfectly. I could have everything all in one place like having a project manager, managing tasks while documenting them, which could become a knowledge base. That's perfect everything I need in one place

I love the flexibility of Notion. You start with a blank canvas and can create almost anything to your specifications. It allows me to create customized solutions for myself and others that you can't get anywhere else. It has also allowed me to make my 2nd brain - which helps to free up my brain from all the thoughts and ideas I have going on at any given time. Total LifeSaver!!!

I don't think that there is much that I dislike about Notion. It's honestly the most advanced project management tool that is available. If I had to pick something, I'd say that there's a limit to the number of Guests you can invite to pages in Notion on the free level, but they give so much I can't complain about that.

Notion is helping to solve my brain fog. It allows me to get ideas out of my head and write them down so that I can move them around and manipulate them. It is helping me track everything in my personal life as well as work life. It has helped me to create customized dashboard solutions that help to visualize data and information better. It allowed me to develop tailored project management tools when there weren't others on the market that fit my needs.

Notion made it seamless for my organization to organize its creative ideas when we had no viable system. Working in social and video production can get really crazy so having an intuitive way to organize made our workflows so much smoother.

The templates aren't the most intuitive for new people who don't think like an ADHDer or someone who prefers more straightforward organizational styles. But still easy to pick up!

Creative Workflow organization and notes management. It's been great for contractors and frazzled bosses alike.

I like how I manage to put everything in one place, but organized and divided. the freedom to customize however I want is amazing, doesn't even compare to others

I had problems with my account, it took a while but they solved it perfectly so I have nothing to complain about, but a little more agility would be great.

I manage to organize appointments, meetings, tests, consultations, track habits, communicate easily with the team, it is complete in every way.

UI/UX so nice, like to work on this tool, soooo clear !

That not all firms are using it, especially my firm, ORANGE, big firm though.

Project management, for sure ! Collaboration (data sharing)

Powerful databases and the ability to customize pages allow me to create dashboards to suit my needs and organize information in a variety of ways. And if something doesn't work? I change it. My Notion workspace grows with me.

The biggest drawback is the lack of an offline mode. I have to keep up-to-date with my backups because if there is a problem with my connection, I don't have access to any of my databases or organization systems.

What doesn't it solve? I can make databases for anything and everything. Organizing new projects, planning and creating content for social media, connected databases for tracking income and expenses, just to name a few.

I love the way Notion helps me build connections between my notes and organise within my notes. It has the tools for both ad-hoc notetaking and building a flexible project management system. Two features in particular have changed how I take notes and organise my work - linked tables and a few special blocks. Firstly, the linked tables -- which can instantly transform into kanban boards, tables, calendars, list or timelines -- are powerful and intuitive. Essentially, you can make table entries, but you can expand each of them into full notes. The table just allows you to powerfully group and filter those notes, and that is exactly what I needed. I love being able to categorise my notes with tags and add deadlines or statistics to them, as well as add status tags such as todo, in progress, etc to stay organised. One thing that really helps me is setting deadlines on the entries and getting Notion to send me an email reminder. It especially helps when I need to check up on something in a month or few months time. Notion uses this 'block' system for each type of text or work. For example, a paragraph is a block, and an embed or an image or a bullet point is a block. Blocks can be nested under or within each other, or placed side by side. I love using > as a shortcut to hide parts of my notes which aren't as relevant to the main idea but that I still don't want to use. Even better, now they have also implemented collapsible heders, and it is my new favourite feature. I find myself missing these collapsible blocks when I'm taking notes in other software. I use template blocks to simplify more repetitive work, as it auto-populates the document with a format that I can specify. I also like callout blocks to highlight particular parts of my work.

Mostly I love Notion, but there are a few faults. The export feature is really troublesome -- and it only exports to HTML, markdown, and PDF. You can't customise anything about the way it exports, and the default margins, colours and sizing is just not to my liking. You lose a lot of your formatting as well if you move your Notion work to other software, which is tricky when I work with others using Notion. It is difficult to bulk download files. On the personal plan, cooperation is possible, but a little clunky. Enterprise collaboration is significantly better, but issues persist like two people not being able to edit the same block at once and sometimes some lag and delay in who is typing. Notion integrations vary in quality and usefulness. JIRA and Github for example seem very limited in the additional information supplied - but if I remember correctly, whimsical was enough to be useful. Embedding webpages has worked great for me in some instances, but most webpages are not designed to be embedded, so it is slightly less effective than I thought it would be.

- Organisation of my work - not forgetting relevant information or deadlines - Connecting related notes and concepts together, this is a first class feature in Notion - Project Timelines

I can use it for many purposes. My company decided to use Noiton as a company portal site. Also, I use Notion for research results, meeting minutes, and log histories.

Since there are many functions, sometimes I find it hard to find a certain feature. Also, I heard about a new feature launch that you can use tabs that enable you to switch pages easily but I still cannot find the feature.

Great Knowledge Base: I use Notion for leaving information we agreed with the team as history, onboarding pages for new employees, and the information that we might look back on in the future.

The ability to organise notes in a structured and complex way. Notion also provides quite a big chunk of customazibility, with embedding HTML, etc. It also allows for an ideal collaboration space when one needs to do a project and as it is run in JavaScript, it can be simply used in the browser.

The mobile app is a bit slow and inconvenient to use. As Notion is built in JavaScript, it feels like it's a bit unresponsive often times and requires unreasonably high loading times for pages, etc. Moreover, as it a fairly complex tool, it's a question whether it might not be better to just use something else for specific tasks. For instance, keeping track of habits, or budgeting myself might be done in Notion; but it will probably be much easier and convenient in Excel.

Keeping track of scientific literature and scientific experiments. Also, keeping track of different lectures and blogs I find online and want to use later on. Notion thus acts as a second brain for me.

Notion is my second brain. It helped me to organize a lot of essential agendas coming up, as well as a lot of space for me to jot down everything that I am thinking of.

The downside is that notion is a bit complicated to set up; I have to watch many tutorials to understand each feature's functionality. Some of the features require some coding. If block coding could be implemented, that would be great.

I have problems organizing my items; I usually store notes and folders in different places. Notion allows me to keep my things on one page, and I could create a sub-page for further notes. Also, it will enable me to prioritize and set reminders about what I have to do in a day so I won't forget them. The main point that attracted me was the price. The notion is free for personal use; even if you did not pay for the premium tiers, the free plan's features are sufficient.

Notion is an amazing productivity tool that has proven to be a game-changer for my team. One of the most useful features of this application is its ability to link databases, making it incredibly easy for us to access and update information across multiple channels. Additionally, we've found it incredibly easy to customize our workspace to fit the needs of our team, which has led to improved collaboration and overall efficiency. In fact, we've already seen a 2x increase in productivity, and we're confident that with more practice, we'll be able to scale this even further to achieve up to 5x or more in efficiency gains. If you're looking for a powerful, flexible tool to streamline your team's workflow, Notion is definitely worth checking out!

Notion can be a challenging tool to use due to the steep learning curve and challenges integrating with other systems. However, it's still a powerful productivity tool that has a lot of potential for team collaboration and project management. The ability to link databases is incredibly helpful, and the customization options allow you to create a workspace tailored to your team's needs. While integrating Notion with other systems can be frustrating, it's a cost-effective solution that can provide significant benefits to your team's workflow. Overall, if you're willing to invest the time and effort into learning how to use Notion effectively, it can be a valuable addition to your team's toolkit.

As a team manager, I've found that Notion is an incredibly powerful tool for keeping my team organized and on track. We use it to manage projects, assign tasks, and track progress, and it has proven to be a real game-changer for us. The ability to centralize our knowledge base and share information in real-time has streamlined our workflows and improved communication across the team. I also appreciate how customizable Notion is. I can tailor it to meet the specific needs of my team, which has helped us work more efficiently and effectively.

Very flexible for saving and organizing different types of notes like images, text, numbers, and time to help managing projects

Takes some time to learn how to use effectively. I had to watch trainings and study examples online to learn how to use well

Managing complicated decisions, like deciding on wedding venue for getting married or starting a new podcast
