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.

"The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness."
"I rate Notion a ten out of ten."
"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."
"Timesheets and the ability to add attachments are very valuable features to us."
"We can customize the tool."
"Customer service and support are excellent."
"The product can be seamlessly integrated into our CRM."
"We can integrate Zoho Projects with Zoho CRM."

Cons

"The only problem I experience is that it often hangs."
"There are a lot of things, but one thing that is absolutely necessary is the mobile application."
"Notion's UI could be better."
"It can be difficult to contact the people at Notion."
"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 product could be integrated with external platforms."
"One area for improvement in the solution is the absence of integrated charts."
"The main problem with Notion is that it's not flexible enough for all of the use cases we intend to address. For instance, it is challenging to focus on a single KPI as it's mandatory to have a chart for this purpose, complicating some of our use cases."
"We'd like to have milestone features."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"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."
"The only room for improvement over here is a feature related to the trend, like AI-related things that we can expect need to be introduced."
"The solution’s interface should be improved."
"Its template management feature could be easier to use."
