Notion Reviews

I am trying to make a program to improve the quality of my lawyer field. I put contacts and dates that we need to remember in Notion, focusing on the people we work with.

Integration with Notion allows me to manage documents from other tools like Google Drive and Trello without needing to open them separately. I can program emails to clients with Zapier, automating tasks like notifications about contract expiry.

It is easy to use and very intuitive compared to Microsoft Project. The collaboration in real-time is beneficial, and there is integration with various tools like Google Drive, Trello, Slack, and Zapier.

It can be difficult to contact the people at Notion. They don't provide a formal answer, just tutorials, so their customer service could be better.

I have been using Notion for about two months.

Their customer service is not very helpful as they do not provide formal answers or support, just tutorials.

Neutral

I have an experience to know how to use Microsoft Project. I don't use it frequently.

The initial setup is easy. On a scale of one to ten, it is a nine.

For companies, it's a good price. For a single person or student, it might be a little expensive.

I am investigating other software to recommend for my company.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

My primary use case for Notion involves organizing my daily activities, planning yearly goals, managing technical content, and writing articles.

The ability to create and organize notes, plans, and technical content in a single platform is the product's most valuable feature. Additionally, its capability to export content in markdown format simplifies transferring my work to other platforms.

The platform's documentation feature needs improvement. It could benefit from enhanced grammar and error-checking capabilities to aid users in producing error-free content.

I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. 

The platform is highly scalable.

I previously used Evernote for note-taking and organizing my work. I switched to Notion because it offered a more comprehensive set of features that met my needs for technical documentation and content management.

The initial setup was relatively straightforward.

Notion is free to use.

I evaluated other options, but Notion stood out due to its versatility and ability to integrate various content and tasks. 

I highly recommend taking the time to familiarize yourself with Notion’s interface and features. While it might take some getting used to, especially if you are accustomed to other tools like Google Docs, the investment in learning will pay off in terms of productivity and organization.

I rate it a nine. 

I primarily use it for managing tasks and collaborating with colleagues. When I encounter an issue or have a task to complete, I create a ticket and provide solutions. I also use Notion to schedule my work and coding tasks since it's a versatile tool that helps me stay organized. For instance, when I encounter hiccups in the morning, I can simply refer to my Notion workspace to see what tasks need to be addressed and then review them at the end of the day. Its flexibility allows me to customize the design to my liking, making it user-friendly.

My team often works remotely and Notion has become an integral part of our workflow, and it has greatly improved our productivity. We use it not only for providing services to our clients but also for keeping ourselves organized and on track with our daily tasks. This dual purpose has proven to be a valuable experience for us, both in terms of monitoring our progress and ensuring that we stay on top of our daily responsibilities.

I find the table feature in Notion to be incredibly valuable as it allows me to organize and manage data efficiently. The ability to structure data is one of the most essential functions of Notion. Also, the capability to link data between different parts of the business is a standout feature.

It would be great if Notion introduced a feature like network logs or simply expanded its color palette. Currently, the available color choices are somewhat limited, and I often receive requests from people for specific colors that are not available. Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content.

I have been using Notion for around five months now.

It provides excellent stability capabilities.

It has proven to be highly scalable and capable of accommodating thousands of contacts and extensive data without any issues.

I have experience using both Asana and Notion and when it comes to choosing between the two, I find myself leaning more towards Notion. While Asana is undoubtedly a good tool, I have some reservations about its design and interface. Notion, on the other hand, has a great design and interface. Asana is effective for task management, but I didn't connect with it as much, since I didn't use it extensively. My experience with Notion has been different and I quickly grasped its capabilities and enjoyed the learning process. It encourages a more technical approach with features like formulas and the ability to create customized databases, which I appreciate. It allows users to bring their ideas to life without being limited by pre-defined structures.

The pricing structure is quite reasonable, and the basic plan covers the most essential features. It is ideal for those who simply need to create and manage tasks or to-do lists.

For companies considering adopting Notion as their organizational tool, I would recommend taking the time to thoroughly evaluate it, alongside other options like Asana. Different companies have varying levels of patience when it comes to learning and implementing new features, and Notion's extensive capabilities might make some hesitant. It requires an investment of time and effort because it offers a high degree of technical flexibility, akin to coding in some aspects. Therefore, if your organization is looking for a quick and simple solution to manage databases and CRMs, you might want to explore other product management platforms. If your company is willing to invest the time and effort into learning and implementing Notion effectively, it can greatly enhance productivity as it allows you to create a customized and user-friendly interface, tailored to your specific needs. I would rate it seven out of ten.

I use Notion as a tool to organize my own activities and plans to help me with my productivity part. I help my company's clients to organize their business with Notion.

I work with many clients and keep juggling from one project to another. I have to use QuickBooks and Keeper for jotting down notes about the cases I encounter. With Notion, I can create different segments and specifically organize the details pertaining to each client. I don't really have to stress about remembering the details of each client separately since I can just organize the details concerning a particular client. All in all, I get to see an overview of everything I handle in Notion, and I can really get into the details, such as the details of my work on a particular day. In Notion, I see what tasks are coming up, along with their deadlines.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility. Notion is a tool that allows you to fit everything in the solution. Notion allows you to build the solution the way you want it.

The linked view of database, along with the sharing and permission settings, are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.

I would like to see Notion with more automation and exchange functionalities that can be used for databases so that I don't have to necessarily use some external integration platform to connect to other databases.

I have been using Notion for two to three years. I use the solution's online version without downloading its application.

I have noticed that the solution crashes, especially when I was testing a few things, because of which I had to do everything again. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten.

I won't be able to comment on the solution's technical support since I can gather the information I want from social groups. The technical support is not really there at all.

The initial setup of Notion is easy. The solution helps you with basic things, but you can also use the solution similar to how I use it to deal regularly with complex stuff.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

I have experienced a return on investment with Notion since it helped my productivity go through the roof.

The solution's pricing can seem steep, especially when you work with a lot of people. If you are working on your own or for another business, the solution's price won't affect you much.

Notion shared an update for the database, which allows you to share your database the same way you can do it on monday.com, making it one of the fantastic additions.

I would tell those planning to use the solution that they need not get scared or overwhelmed with what they see online since everybody started with the solution somewhere.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Primarily, two things: one is arranging my day-to-day to-do lists or activities, and secondly for note-taking.

Notion has improved or could improve our team's productivity. Because of its flexibility, we arrange A LOT OF things in Notion, starting from engineering maintenance, to-do lists, team allocation, and financial planning—a lot of activities happen in a single centralized repository. I think that's a major value addition to my team.

Notion has a lot of integrations. We use two or three, like the Notion with Slack integration and the Notion with GitHub integration. We adapt our working process according to the features provided.

I like mostly the flexibility. I can customize Notion according to how I prefer my information flow to look. The flexibility is the best thing that I like about Notion.

There are a lot of things, but one thing that is absolutely necessary is the mobile application. They need to work on the mobile application quite a lot because the experience and speed on the web version are nowhere near that of the mobile app.

I have been using it for two years. 

From the stability point of view, I'll rate it at seven out of ten.

So, there is some downtime, primarily because many of my team members are mobile and cannot fully utilize the mobile application.

There are around 20 end users using it. I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is pretty scalable. 

We contacted them a couple of times. The mobile application issue is a known issue. They are working on it, but it may take a few months to fix.

They are very responsive.

Positive

I also use Asana for project management. I have explored Atlassian. We work with a lot of client projects, and different customers have their requirements. So we want their internal project management tool to be utilized by our consultants while consulting to those customers. We have explored a few other project management tools like Atlassian and ClickUp.

I generally prefer using Notion because of the flexibility. Though my team uses Asana, so I still need to at least oversee or monitor it. These are the primary project management or productivity tools that we use.

It is not very smooth. There are still some friction points, but things can be worked around. If you are a technical person, Notion setup is very easy. 

If you are a non-technical person, you might face some challenges.

Notion has priced very aggressively. It's pretty affordable.

I still prefer Notion because it's a superset of Asana. It is not as feature-rich as Asana, but it offers a lot of additional flexibility and features that outweigh the shortcomings.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

We use the application as a knowledge database to capture notes on different subjects.

The application's most valuable feature is the combination of structured text and databases.

It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems. We have to transfer the data or convert files into compatible formats for generating final reports. 

They should include a feature for queries within text documents, including snippets of databases and formulas.

We have been using Notion for two years now.

It is a stable product. However, it works slowly for reloading large databases.

I use EverNote and OneNote. Both platforms don't have a concept of structured databases similar to Notion.

The initial setup is easy.

The product's pricing depends on the usage plans. Currently, they offer a free plan for individual users with some limitations. I also have access to its educational plan, which is a bit more expensive. There are different plans with free versions. Further, we can subscribe to the paid versions depending on the use cases.

There are plenty of products like Notion. For individual users, I recommend it because of the accessibility of the features. At the same time, I advise large organizations to compare a few different systems before making a purchase decision.

I rate Notion a nine out of ten.

We use Notion to track work activities and organize them.

The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness.

There could be an automation feature included in the product.

We have been using Notion for nine months.

I rate the product's stability a six out of ten.

I rate the product's scalability a nine out of ten.

The technical support services are good.

Positive

The initial setup is easy as it is a responsive tool and can handle different workloads.

The product is a good investment.

The product has good pricing.

I advise others to appear for an examination to gain a certificate from Notion. I rate it an eight out of ten. It is a useful product and can be integrated with other apps.

I use Notion for taking notes and building a database for the record. It helps me collaborate with others to build CRM, marketing documents, or HRM systems for my small business.

The product has a valuable feature for databases. It has a table and a calendar view and saves various documents in the system.

Notion's UI needs improvement.

I have been using Notion for approximately two years.

I rate the product's stability a seven or eight.

It is a highly scalable application. I rate its scalability a nine or ten.

I haven't approached Notion's technical support team. However, they emailed me about new feature development, such as recently added AI functionality.

Positive

I have used Obsidian before.

The initial setup is complex. It takes a lot of time to learn. I rate the process a four or five out of ten. It requires three days to two weeks to complete, depending upon specific requirements.

I implemented the product myself.

I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. We only need to pay for it if we use it in the workspace.

I evaluated OneNote. It is difficult to use and requires a feature for building databases.

I rate Notion an eight out of ten.
