Notion

Notion best for productivity

Pros:

The Feature which allows us to login it from any device like Windows and Android.

Cons:

It's Very user friendly and I didn't find anything least.

The Swiss-army knife of project management tools

Comments: It's great. I use it for so many things. The customer support is really good if you get stuck on anything and they seem to be adding new features that make it even more of a valuable tool.

Pros:

It is fantastic for a whole bunch of different uses. It can work as a project management tool, a wiki, database, notetaker app, calendar, reading list, spreadsheet - and a lot more. It's really versatile which makes it a great product that reduces the number of other tools you need.

Cons:

It's a bit clunky if you're using it for client work. As in someone who won't have a premium subscription as you have to share each individual page with them separately. But there are work arounds for that.

Cluttered, for power users only

Comments: It's been a hit and a miss. I would like to see a more clean de-cluttered version. Not every user is a power user.

Pros:

Featured packed with lots of tools for task management, checklists, and more recently calendar management.

Cons:

The interface is very cluttered for a regular user. Each field such as a text field is over-customizable, which isn't really needed.

Notion as a Tool for Project Planning and Social Media Content Strategy

Comments: I’m extremely pleasantly surprised by how many features Notion offers, even in its free version. Previously, my work tasks and tracking their progress were scattered across different places. Now, I can keep everything in one place and monitor the progress of various tasks within a single app. With Notion, my workflow is now clearer, and things are more under control. Overall, it’s a very flexible application that adapts to a wide range of needs.

Pros:

I started using Notion because I needed to organize my work tasks better. Soon, I realized that Notion allows me to plan my content strategy and social media calendar with extreme ease and clarity. The biggest benefit has been the ability to save inspirational material from around the internet without consuming storage space on my computer or phone. I’ve created tables and a calendar where I can track the progress of each of my projects.

Cons:

Alongside Notion, I started using the Notion calendar, which can also sync with Google Calendar, for example. This calendar is, of course, synchronized with the project management table I created in Notion. This feature has also been extremely helpful. However, I would appreciate the ability to customize the calendar’s color scheme (it’s currently just gray), so that different events and reminders would stand out more clearly.

Flexibility and wikis

Comments: I started using Notion on my personal projects, and then I was happy to discover that my new team was also using it to store all the information about our clients and projects in a wiki manner.

Pros:

The flexibility to create a database that really suits the needs of the team or the company.

Cons:

Sometimes, the search bar is not that accurate. The IA is not that well developed either.

Reminds me of an old-school Diary but with Vibes

Comments: This is my go-to for personal task track outside of Asana. The fact that you can separate work-related stuff from sensible work information is a plus

Pros:

This is the OCD dream come true. Personalization, templates and tasks managements for both personal use and team collaboration is amazing!

Cons:

It has a very specific mouse limit for drag-and-drop features and you have to spend a couple of hours learning the kinks.

My experience with Notion

Comments: I love notion overall but I had issues with the subscription which ruined the experience

Pros:

I love the idea of notion and the ability to have your own note taking space online that you can share with friends and colleagues

Cons:

Issues with payments and cancelling subscriptions

Great tool if you are willing to learn it!

Comments: I used it for about a year but I never used it to its full potential. I believe it's a really powerful tool that has so much to offer - you just have to know how to use it right and spend some time learning it.

Pros:

Sleek interface, A LOT of different use cases and functionality, very powerful and potent tool.

Cons:

For me it always felt like a little too complex, I never fully figured it out and switched to a simpler tool... But that's just my personal experience!

Customisable, really cool, sometimes slow

Comments: Love using notion, but the learning curve can be steep and the load it puts on my PC makes me avoid using it often.

Pros:

Extremely customisable and has a massive feature list

Cons:

Not worth using for simple task-lists or notes due to the load it puts on my PC

Sevond brain

Comments: I likethe interface. It became my second brain. I really like how you can show the same data in different view regarding how you want to work. Really easy to use even if training is needed to explore all tge potential

Pros:

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

Cons:

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

Collaborative Design Hub

Comments: We chose Notion as it supports the documentation of different types of the design information. That is why its ability to work with text, images, and databases all in one place matched our requirement for an all-in-one information center. ​For our design team's knowledge management system, Notion stands as the essential foundation. Bringing together different tools broke down separations and boosted our visibility of relationships within design tasks.

Pros:

We use Notion for its ability to manage a range of design information types. Conversely, it mixes text and images with databases in a unified workspace that supports our desire for a common information repository.

Cons:

Regarding the visualization of data, the features of table views are known to support only a few formats. The lack of a developed asset library means that it is necessary to integrate with external storage systems.

Flexibility at your fingertips!

Comments: I'm constantly impressed by the new updates that Notion is putting out -- I love that it's a collaborative tool with a strong relationship with its user community. It really feels like the company is listening to its customers and responding to their feedback, and also working closely with third party apps to create flexible, seamless experiences.

Pros:

Notion is such a versatile and powerful tool! I use it extensively for collaboration and planning at work and in my personal life. The UI is incredibly intuitive, so even though there's so much you can do in the app, it's never overwhelming or difficult to figure out how to achieve the outcome you're looking for.

Cons:

Notion is a very flexible tool, so it's really helpful if you come into a project with an idea of what you want your end result to be. Without that initial "vision," I had some trouble fully communicating the app's capabilities and scope to my colleagues.

My company's one stop resource

Comments: Notion was very easy to set up and my team found the content and functionality very easy to adopt. It's the one place my team an find everything they need related to our business.

Pros:

Notion is my company's internal source for everything, such as co-worker profiles, most used documents, task management, company handbook, work events, and payroll information.

Cons:

As a non-tech, non-design person, I found it challenging to choose the right templates and set up the most user-friendly design for my team. There are pages I have built that do not get used because of how I have designed them.

Flexible Table Customization and Seamless Search: My Ideal To-Do List and Note-Taking Tool

Comments: Overal is great. It let me do everything I want to on free version.

Pros:

It has eveything. I can take my notes. I can create the to do list the way I like. I can create tables and convert them to database option is which I like pretty muhch. And also how I can customise each cell in table like I can add chechboxes, dropdown menu etc. And also it allows me to search for an item in the table without scrolling.

Cons:

Least is I would say the sidebar. Once you have added enough items scrolling doesnt work. They add small button more at the bottm and them again scroll to find the itme. I can add favorites so that I can access them easily but still scrilling or seacrhing would have been nice

Great for taking any type of notes

Comments: My main use for Notion is for taking notes on my work clients for me to remember all key details about them. I also use Notion for personal use, such as meal planning and for vacations itinerary.

Pros:

The best part of Notion is how customizable this can be depending on if you need to track work assignments or school notes. The AI feature for writing can be so useful when you need to ask for definitions when taking notes or if you need to add an statistic but you forgot the exact number.

Cons:

The set up is hard, its a system that if you don't know how to use it can be hard to navigate.

Want to build a digital library? Use Notion

Pros:

Notion was the first app I used on my Macbook Pro to organize my entire life, track all of my notes, coursework progress, document drafting, saving bookmarks, publishing public pages to the web and sharing information with others. These are just some of the older features, recently they've added new tools to customize and make the most out of the app. There are plenty of free features to make this app very useful.

Cons:

There is no Offline version, unfortunately. Not only that, I wish there was a way to turn off the AI feature, or use an API key from a non-Notion AI integration. I also wish there were more integrations as well, but I haven't looked into that side of things for quite a while, so there might be many more that I'm unaware of.

Stay Organised and Meet Deadlines

Comments: It saves a ton of time and easily keeps my business organised in a way where I don't have to think about it. It's an essential tool for juggling multiple timelines on document and project deadlines.

Pros:

Notion allows you to run a business, and keeps you on track with managing projects so you meet deadlines with ease. It allows you to brainstorm your ideas, and flush them out or make notes for later so you have a point of reference to further expand upon. Adding pages and blocks are super easy and I can collaborate with my team so everyone is notified of what is happening in regards to time specific tasks.

Cons:

You have a limit on file size on the free plan which is 5MB. Although that's still quite large you cannot go any larger than that. There's also a limit on how many people you can collaborate with on the free plan, but if you're team is 5 people or smaller you'll be able to function quite well. Anything over these two hurdles you will need to invest in a paid plan.

Journaling & Budgeting With Notion

Comments: My overall experience with Notion has been positive as it has allowed me to document and journal several different aspects such as my budget, trading notes and personal psychology.

Pros:

What I like most about Notion is the journaling templates available for use and how quickly one can start using the software.

Cons:

What I like least about Notion is that the emojis make the notes look a bit childish and not so professional.

Notion is by far the Best Project Management Software ever!

Comments: Notion is something that you can do some brain dump with but at the same time, when you are not overwhelmed with every task that you have to do, you can easily arrange and put everything in order from your brain dumping. You can customize it in a way that you want and what you find manageable, making it easier for you to navigate your won personal agendas without it being all over the place. I can even use it offline and still work on my projects. The mobile app of Notion is easy to use as well so there really is nothing more I need. It's something that I've discovered back when I was still a student but it is still something that I love using now that I am an employee and a business owner.

Pros:

What I love most about Notion is that I can easily do project collaborations with my business partners, we can simply edit or arrange the page to our preference. I love how I can easily customize a page in whatever I like but mostly, I love how it can help you get your tasks done and know which one to prioritize or which ones need less attention, it helps a lot with time management as well.

Cons:

I’ve been using Notion for 4 years now and I can't say anything against it because I only loved it ever since!

The best collaboration and project management tool

Comments: Notion has been crucial for us on a team level as well as a company level, we use it for collaboration, project management, and internal documentation I would recommend this tool to everyone

Pros:

Notion is a very complete tool, the use cases are unlimited and the product itself is great, in four years we haven't had any issues or bugs

Cons:

The learning curve can be quite steep and confusing, but that's expected for such a complex product

Great tool but takes time to learn/customize

Comments: I like Notion. I think there's a lot of potential there. I have slowed down my use of it as it's not quite there for my needs but as they continue building out the ecosystem, I may come back to using it as my primary workspace for managing my creative work.

Pros:

I work in a creative field and I like being able to keep all of my writing and project notes in one area. I like the ability to write in markdown so I can keep headings, text, lists and everything else in the document and quickly write it without having to go search through menus for the correct selection. I've used a little bit of the project management functionality as well and that can be convenient to stay within the same platform rather than switching back and forth.

Cons:

The project management tools are ok but not as straightforward as I would like. Other PM tools like Monday.com, Asana or Clickup have more robust project management capabilities and I've found myself drifting back to them rather than spend the time to learn how to build out Notion to fit what I want it to do. I get the philosophy of Notion is that you can build it to do whatever you need it to do but I don't really have time for that. Nor do I have the desire to learn how to build those systems within Notion. I just need something that works so I can get my work done more efficiently. It's sometimes easier to go find a pre-built tool than figure out how to modify one in Notion.

Gain Clarity and Organization with the Best Productivity Workspace on the Galaxy!

Comments: I love using notion on a day to day basis. Be it in planning for a work trip, creating a simple to do list, tracking my spending habits. The software comes in handy and saves me the hustle involved in tracking some intricate habits and personal finances by using the available templates. Life Gets busy and using notion has simplified my life and enabled me to keep track of the important things in life in an organized way.

Pros:

What i loved most about Notions is that it has numerous templates that enhances a persons productivity. From lifestyle templates that include journals, habit trackers, personal finance, travel planners and To-Do lists without having to create one from scratch. Additionally, the software is simple to use at it has drag and drop features that helps in organizing content, notes and lists easily. Furthermore, Notion integrates easily with a variety of other software's as well such as google drive and slack.

Cons:

I loved everything about the software as it meets all my needs. By having offering free and paid subscriptions the software doesn't discriminate anybody based on finances and you can just start using it for free.

Notion's flexibility towards its users

Comments: Notion is a very good application since it can help me organize my notes. I would definitely recommend this to a friend who is also techy and loves to organize their notes and someone who does not rely on papers that much.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Notion - A great platform for writers and other creatives

Comments: Notion is a great service for writers such as myself as it puts everything into one place instead of having to switch between multiple apps when working on a project.

Pros:

Notion combines the features of multiple productivity apps into one convenient platform that saves valuable storage space on your device and gives you less things to keep track of which is definitely a bonus.

Cons:

The premium plans can be expensive for users with a low budget and Notion has limited functionality when offline which can be inconvenient for users in rural areas without reliable Internet.

Great Organizational Tool

Comments: Its been good and really helpful to keep me organized on all my projects

Pros:

The creation of different pages that allows me to keep my tasks/projects organized for easy reference.

Cons:

It can be difficult to edit pages and somethings and not as user friendly as i'd hoped.
