Featured Reviews

Iván Fanego - PeerSpot reviewer
Creates customizable systems and improve team collaboration
Notion is a very flexible and customizable platform, allowing users to create whatever they need. The most impactful feature for project management is the ability to invite multiple client stakeholders without complication. Once I understand the basics, it's easy to use despite an initial learning curve. It also significantly improves team collaboration through customized views and visualizations of data.
Sainath Racherla - PeerSpot reviewer
Project coordination has improved with excellent integration and support, though more comprehensive training and version control are needed
The adaptation process can be enhanced with training sessions and templates. There is potential for improvement in version control, particularly in integration with Zoho Docs. Providing small bite-sized instructional videos, like how to create a bug, and customizable help icons would be beneficial. Additionally, I should be able to cross-link bugs between projects.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Notion has a lot of integrations."
"It is easy to use and very intuitive compared to Microsoft Project."
"Customer support is great, effective, and easy to reach."
"We can install it on mobile phones, making it feasible to manage productivity."
"The ability to create and organize notes, plans, and technical content in a single platform is the product's most valuable feature."
"The product has a valuable feature for databases. It has a table and a calendar view and saves various documents in the system."
"Notion is an all-in-one product, allowing us to do many things in a single place."
"It is easy to use, and I love its UI."
"We were able to track each department's work and what they were doing inside the actual department. Gantt charts are useful to track departmental progress and operation, or we are that item stuff."
"We can integrate Zoho Projects with Zoho CRM."
"Zoho Projects is very flexible and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Projects is all integrated into one. We don't have to start using multiple tools, such as Projects, CRM, Marketing, Automation, Finance, and setting up Meetings. It's all in one solution. I don't have to go to multiple different platforms to have all the features I need."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Customer service and support are excellent."
"The solution's most valuable features are automation and integration with different products and third-party applications."
"It's easy for a user with a technical background to set up Zoho Projects on their own."
 

Cons

"If the internet or Notion's servers are down, I cannot access information. This is a big disadvantage."
"Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content"
"User management needs improvement."
"One area for improvement in the solution is the absence of integrated charts."
"User management needs improvement. It's difficult to determine what information is private. It's a bit complicated for me."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"Notion has one big downside: the lack of an offline mode. If the internet or Notion's servers are down, I cannot access information. This is a big disadvantage."
"The linked view of database, along with the sharing and permission settings, are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"The tool should add live chat, live call, and live meeting features where clients can communicate."
"If given the opportunity, I would focus on improving automation within Zoho Projects. While attempting to integrate with other platforms, users often encounter errors. The integration capabilities of Zoho Projects could be enhanced. Currently, the integration options are categorized as either easy or customized, with the latter requiring deluge code, which might pose challenges due to its lesser-known usage."
"The UI and UX must be improved."
"Its template management feature could be easier to use."
"The solution’s interface should be improved."
"The adaptation process can be enhanced with training sessions and templates."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
