Product Description

Notion is a unified workspace for teams. Notion is a connected workspace where your team can create docs, take notes, manage tasks, and organize your work – all in one place. And now, with Notion AI, you can augment your capabilities in new and unexpected ways. Leverage the power of AI right inside Notion, across all your notes and docs, without the need to jump between your work and a separate AI-powered tool.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Notion is different in two ways: It brings all work together in one place, and it's so customizable that it can be modified to support any workflow.

Most productivity tool makers focus on solving one problem with one product. Notion's design lets you mold your workspace to serve a limitless variety of uses all in one spot. You can use it to build a product roadmap, wiki, and collaborative docs for your company in one central location. Or as an individual, to keep your notes, tasks, and journal handy and accessible at all times. You can start with a template, or build from scratch to personalize the way you work — at your job and in your life.

Description

Notion blends your everyday work tools into one. Product roadmap? Company wiki? Meeting notes? With Notion, they're all in one place, and totally customizable to meet the needs of any workflow. It's the all-in-one workspace for you, your team, and your whole company. We humans are toolmakers by nature, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use every day — arguably our most powerful tool. Our team at Notion is on a mission to make it possible for everyone to shape the tools that shape their lives.

What do you like best about Notion?

Notion is the most modular software for product and project management. You can basically create any structure you want according to the use: work, studies, personal life... everything. The option to publish the notion as a website also allows me to share my creation with people that don't have notion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

The learning curve is a bit heavy but starting with templates you can do it incrementally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Notion solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to centralize all my data (docs, photos, lists, KANBAN, projects, products...) into a single source of truth instead of using a couple of apps for each type of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Notion?

Notion has been incredibly helpful in my daily work. Using Notion AI has significantly increased my productivity. I frequently use Notion AI to enhance my emails, expand or summarize documentation, and review texts (such as this one, which I'm currently reviewing). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

I would like to have a better export-to-pdf feature. To be fair, I must mention that it have that feature but is clearly not enough strong and consistent because is not dealing fine with formats and compositions. I would like also to have a good export-to-docs feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Notion solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helpful for task management, writing and sharing project documentation, improving my emails, organizing my meeting notes, and sharing those notes with collaborators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Notion?

With Notion, we don't need much time to set up parameters and it differs a bit from other competitors that use templates for each type of project. In Notion we can start with a workspace to which we add components or functionalities based on our needs.

Basically, we incorporate elements such as an area to record Sprints, segments that host content and commonly used documents, instructions so that the work team can carry out specific activities, in addition to the customization of fields based on what we need to track tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

While I like many of the features like the retractable left side menu and Kanban board, I may find the per-user customization a bit limited for my taste.

I also think the 'my profile' options could use more features to create more usability, but that being said, I think Notion is great and teams prefer it for its simplicity and ease of adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Notion solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Notion we can keep track of the developments and applications we create at the Institution. We can also make progress reports and keep the entire work team in communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Notion?

What I love about Notion is that it’s so flexible part of being able to build out personalized workflows that are working for me right now. I just love to make task boards and connect them to docs or notes. The database tools are great to structure complex projects in a structured manner. One way I’ve also integrated Slack is for sending real time updates to keep everything streamlined. This provides a broad range of features I no longer need to juggle that make my daily work all that much more more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

The problem with Notion is that it sometimes doesn't perform well for a large team. It has a big array of features which is impressive but does slow things down, especially on boarding or system setup. In addition, I have found that it takes longer than it should to search for parts in a cluttered workspace when putting work together. While these limits aren't deal breakers, in fact, they make it harder to keep up with the pace we would have liked on those tight deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Notion solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Notion, we don’t have to deal with miscommunication, or scattered information anymore. With its unified workspace project details, documentation, and tasks are in one place, making it easy to stay on track. I’ve seen a lot of time saved by automating the repetitive jobs like status updates through linked databases. We are able to tailor the workflows to what we want to do, or what the project requires, and this will hopefully help us manage deadlines better, and better overall collaborate.

What do you like best about Notion?

Customization

- ability to create custom and reusable modules/blocks/templates (i.e. toggles, lists, tables, columns, etc.)

- ability to create folders and subpages

AI tools

- Notion AI is also useful for completing tedious tasks. For example, if I am working on submitting a grant application in an online portal, and it doesn't use rich-text formatting, I may need to use different cases in order to refer to film titles (as opposed to italics). With AI, i can tell it something like "change all italicized text to uppercase text instead." The standard ctrl+F/replace all tool in Google docs or Word does not apply to formatting, so having AI help with this has made certain processes more efficient.

- Having AI embedded into the app/platform also makes it easier/faster to work on things, as opposed to going to an AI platform on a separate browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

- Notion's desktop app seems to slow my computer down, so now I only use the browser version

- For some reason, the AI tool doesn't work properly when you are in the new-page pop-up window -- it only works once you are in the main page after the new page was created

- AI doesn't yet process large amounts of information -- maybe have clearer parameters so I know what it is capable of and what it isn't capable of

- For some reason, there are certain table templates that have embedded icons in the records that I cannot remove. One of Notion's strong points is its rich customizability, so this should be factored into the templates as well -- users should be able to modify most components of a pre-created template if they want to

- Consider adding subgrouping levels to the tables

- Consider allowing users to re-order automations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Notion solving and how is that benefiting you?

- AI helps with tedious tasks that would take longer to do manually

- Easy to create to-do list items, collapse them, delete them, select multiple at once and apply changes/edits Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app is not very user-friendly, while the website is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Notion solving and how is that benefiting you?

We conduct our team's standup meeting in Notion. Tech documentation, EDD, LLD, and HLD are all organized in Notion. Our onboarding documents and standard operating procedures (SOPs) are also in Notion. It is simply wonderful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
