Productfolio is product management software designed to enable teams to focus on building products. The software gives end-to-end workflow tools to empower teams and to align the workflow. Users can define 'what' and ‘why’ so that the teams can work in the same direction. Productfolio also lets users prioritize opportunities to help create a roadmap. The drag and drop of the visual roadmap will help others know what…
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.
This platform is a product managers dream! If you are meeting with your team a lot for brains storming sessions, this is a great tool as it has an ideas list (my favorite aspect of the platform) where you can write in any ideas you have then task them to certain topics and tag people in the task! You can also move these ideas over to a "to-do's" list and then a "in progress" and "completed" list respectively. This has greatly helped our team take our ideas from just an idea to actually fulfilling it! This may not be helpful if your focuses are only on one idea or topics but this does help you bring your project along with a timeline so you can complete your work in a timely manner!
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.
I would like to see more color coding options - this is minor but when we have many different projects/clients/tasks, it would help to have more variation for differentiation!
Better price point may help this product get into more offices!
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.
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.
The similarity of Asana and Productfolio is task management but Productfolio exceeds it tenfolds as there are timeline trackers, to-do list organizers, ideas list, etc. The UI/UX is cleaner on Productfolio and easier to digest which is helpful when training new employees. I would highly recommend Productfolio over Asana!
