Creately vs Notion

• Creately provides the same experience that other similar tools (i.e. Visio) provides, but presents it in a much more colorful, unique manner. The colors are vibrant, and my clients have always been impressed with the quality and feel.
• Creately provides a lot of creative control over how your images look. I can play with the opacity and color scheme, or use what they already provide.
• Creately also allows me to create wireframes for clients to review, whether desktop or mobile. I can create simple, easy to understand frames and concepts in minutes - they're super professional looking and ready to share.
• I like the pricing model. Right now I can pay month-to-month, or pay a one-time fee for a year. It's also less expensive than Visio, which is very nice.

• Team Collaboration. In Notion's software is the ability to see precisely who is working on a project and where. This eliminates any confusion when on calls or when working on the same project simultaneously. It is easy to tag co-workers to precise moments and build conversation streams.
• Text Coding. When transitioning text from our Notion ideation and drafting boards to our website backends, the coding holds on all of the text.
• Organization. Whether it's utilizing a "pin board" set up or nestling pages within pages, it is possible to keep everything organized and easy to find for every member of your team.

• The transition Creately made this year to their new non-Flash platform seems to almost function like a beta release in some instances.
• Customer support sometimes takes a while to return and the responses are not always the best or most helpful. Follow up isn't great, either.

• The search in Notion leaves something to be desired. It can be hard to find a page unless you know exactly what it is titled.
• The sidebar and groupings of pages on the side bar can be a bit tricky to navigate.

• Creately is less expensive and dare I say more professional looking than Visio. It looks great at a fraction of the price.
• Creately allows me to share ideas and processes with my clients. It shows that I understand their business processes, and increases their trust in my abilities to work with them.

• Being able to have insight into personal OKRs feeding into companywide OKRs
• Creating a home base for all of our different departments' internal documents for items where Google Drive doesn't make sense to house them
• It's super great to have my task list to keep myself moving forward to my OKRs
