Likelihood to Recommend Notion is good for a plethora of use cases. The templates that it offers give just a few established pages for common uses but these are some of my favorites:
Kanban board: we use it a lot in my company to manage tasks and meetings Note taking: whether in a professional or academic environment, Notion is well suited to take notes of everything regardless. Software documentation: the "code" component to insert code snippets is perfect for creating tutorials and documentation for software development. Finance control: I use the "my finances" template to have a proper following of my monthly transactions, which allowed me to be more responsible with my money. Inventory management: Since I own multiple peripherals and general equipment, being able to have a portable inventory of all of it that includes their original value, warranty length and current state has been perfect to know when clean, maintain or straight up replace everything.

You essentially have the same functionality of being able to share notes and documents with other team members, as well as keeping notes and documents private.

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.

Personalization with logos and corporate colors sometimes makes the difference when selecting a tool in a corporation. Having multiple functionalities for working in manufacturing companies and with devices developed by third parties encourages other companies to select Notion as their flagship tool to offer implementation packages under alliances that favor its use. Read full review 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. Read full review Alternatives Considered Trello only has the Kanban board feature and is great for task management, while Notion has a vast array of features, is easier to use, and has a more visually-appealing interface. I choose to use Notion over
Trello due to its increased versatility and greater customization capabilities.

Read full review It is helping manage our documentation and processes all in one place. It is helping with company updates and product releases. It is nice that everyone has access to shared boards and private boards to use. We also use it to track customer feedback after a big release. Read full review ScreenShots
