    Chose Slite
    [In my opinion,] Slite is cheaper but less mature and feature full. Notion is a much more mature solution, so I'd recommend it for teams who want to be at the front and don't care about cost.

    If you want a customizable solution that can be adapted for just about any scenario, I recommend using Notion. If you need a solution that's easy to share with people outside your organization, Notion is great and allows individual or team permission-setting. If you want a turnkey solution, Notion might not be the best since it requires a fair bit of set-up. There are templates that can be purchased to handle this, but I haven't found them very helpful.

    It is well suited for entire companies to use not just small teams because you can create so many workspaces and folders which allow better organization for a centralized space. For example, if you want to create for one team a folder thats a Social Media Marketing Hub you can have that with supportive resources, documents, meet the team section, and so much more. You can have another folder for other teams like HR and HR Resources where everyone has visibility into the documents and anything added under that section. It's super helpful.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Visualizing the hierarchy and relationship between objectives and key results. The nesting and double alignment functionality are especially helpful, as they can't easily be expressed on, say, a simple worksheet or Confluence page.
    • Reminding the team to make regular check-ins. What gets measured gets done. This prevents the common pitfall of setting goals and not revisiting them until the end of a project (when it is too late).
    • Integration with external sources for automated check-ins. Why do this manually when it can happen behind the scenes?

    • I love that you can create nested pages, allowing for separate sections to organize information as needed.
    • I appreciate the convenience of effortlessly uploading images to any section.
    • I appreciate that when adding links, you can embed them so the website displays directly on the page.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Accelerate integrations and add more integrations.
    • Ally.io has room for improvement in providing benchmark in-depth analysis across industries, same-size companies, etc.
    • Ally.io can still improve upon some of its product features and communicating the releases. Videos have been extremely helpful.

    • I use Notion on my personal tablet, and unlike on the computer, I have a lot of difficulty editing backgrounds, GIFs, and page dividers. It's not as user-friendly, and often the elements end up cut off or misaligned, which is frustrating.
    • While the current calendar feature is helpful, I'd love to see more customization options. The Google Calendar style isn't always ideal, especially for tasks without specific times or for ongoing projects that require daily maintenance.
    • It would be fantastic to have more flexibility in customizing Notion pages. For example, I'd love to create planners with the freedom to add illustration boxes, stickers, or GIFs without being restricted to a fixed layout.

    Slite
    • I don't love that it doesn't integrate easily with the other tools we use, at least it doesn't as far as I know.
    • Since there is not an Excel sort of capability there is no way it could ever replace Google, so it is sometimes easier to just use Word docs instead of Slite since everything is in one place.
    • I think if Slite extended their product line up, it would be more attractive to use exclusively, instead of just using it for documentation.

    Very easy to use (I learned how to use everything on my own) and I was able to set up an entire ecosystem without any courses or other tools. I often say that Notion is like Lego for adults, because there we can use all the available tools to create a multitude of things, from funnels to projects with calculated deadlines and tags.

    Very clean interface however editing can be a challenge which is a big part of using it so I can't give a 10 until the editing and customization for editing is improved. I love how minimal the look and feel is though and how easy it is to organize different pages and folders.

    The company uses both Notion and Trello within the company. Notion is more for North America employees while Trello is used between Operation team overseas and in North America. Sometimes it's a preference of how the tools look like for project management. I would say both Notion and Trello are nice tools and serves our needs.
