Notion Reviews

Lot of possibilities to organize your data. You can show the data in different ways. Online so data are synchronized between all devices.
Lot of free template available to help you set up your space

Not easy to use at the fist place. Need some training befoŕ using the full potential

I absolutely adore the whole database philosophy which allows me to collect data about things I own, things I know, ideas and other things I like to have in one place. The best thing is that I can nest any database (or a piece of it) everywhere I want.

There are two things I do not enjoy. Time management could be improved, more into Asana/Clickup philosophy. Since it does not work this way, I use other app to manage my tasks even though I thought Notion could be one-in-all solution.
The other things is the impossibility to make notes unhierarchical, which I truly like. But well, Notion way of working is deeply hierarchical.

Over the couple of years, Notion has become my everyday buddy. This has been the easiest platform that allowed me to manage multiple projects at the same time. I'm a website designer by profession so I require a platform where I can track my different projects or clients.
I can mention particular team members in the projects I want.
In simple words, I would say Notion is a perfect tool for teams.
I can easily create different projects and attach links or media files in them. It also allows you to prioritize tasks.

For cons, I would say that Notion sometimes can be very overwhelming for many users to use. It can be confusing for new users as there are so many tools and options to use. I myself got confused in my initial days of using Notion. I generally forget how to start a new line, or break lines after every link I add. Some people who like flashy colors or graphics may find it boring.

Notion has a lovely layout with the left sidebar containing all the different pages, projects, tasks, etc. A little silly, but I love that we can add banners and emojis to the title and make the "virtual workplace" our own. Its great to be able to integrate other apps into Notion. We added our Gdrive, Slack, and Figma into the space and it functioned well. There are also ways to share specific pages with guests, and its possible to have private pages, separate from the team.

As lovely as the layout is, our Notion became cluttered and messy fast because we didn't quite know where to add what (e.g. tasks, projects, pages, etc.). It takes quite a bit of knowledge and forethought to organise a team around it. I also don't like that there are very limited fonts and typography. So anything that we export to PDF doesn't look part of our brand and we have to re-do it on another software. Also, when we embed documents in our pages, we don't quite have the same visibility (i.e. we have to click on a specific page to see what documents are linked to it). Maybe that's the way its intended to be, but I found it a little annoying and often just used Gdrive instead.

Notion makes organizing and note taking far easier than other current options. Being able to organize pages into databases and tables means I can manage my work load as a type of list with all the notes on each piece of work contained in a page tied to that list. The elements such as code blocks also make adding reference notes so much easier to come back to and use in future. It keeps me very organized. As a non-enterprise user the options are still endless and provides a good case to bring others on board as a collaborative tool - especially when it comes to sharing process documentation.

Unless it's changed, there were some promising options of integrating with mail calendars but it didn't look like this was suitable for work mail / Office 365.

It's the best software ever that is able to prioritize tasks and organize them effectively, which helps me stay on top of my workload. I can't live without him and love his ability to create detailed timelines and milestones, ensuring my projects st

I love this program, there are no negatives

The ability to create databases quickly to store informations instead of using Excel for example.

Notion is EXTREMELY slow if you are using it to store a lot of data like 2000+ pages

The support, it is very very very VERY difficult to get some one AND it is EXTREMELY difficult to report a bug.

Each time we report a bug or something like this, the support is like a robot, they ask ALWAYS the same questions like "What is your device please?" even if I precise it before and I say it is the same issue on each device

Notion provides us with the ability to generate and sort different types of material, from simple notes to complex databases, wikis, work lists and more. This versatility gives us the possibility to conceive our own designs and procedures to suit our particular needs. It offers a variety of customization possibilities, such as templates, transformation tools and integration with different apps. It gives us the opportunity to customize the software according to the needs and work procedures. It supports collaboration among staff members, allowing all staff members to collaborate and work on documents live and in real time. This feature is particularly interesting for remote employees who need to collaborate in different time zones.

Notion's text editor offers a number of presentation possibilities, however, I think there may be a limitation in terms of customization. Notion does not have strong automation features like other knowledge management tools. This may be a difficulty for users who require quite a bit of automation to shorten their work cycles and decrease hand work.

I like notion the most its because it helps me organize my notes per subject that I discuss and also I can do a lot of things such as taking down my schedule for the month and tracking my progress for each tasks or goals that I have. I can create a lot of pages and share it with others.

The free version is very limited to those who does have budget especially for students. I started my journey in Notion since I was in college and some actions requires plans to pay off. Also, there is no tutorial or help tool when you are new to the website or application.
