I believe Notion is a highly versatile tool that can be used for almost any scenario! Personally, I rely on it for event planning, ensuring that all details are organized in one place. Additionally, I use it as a digital recipe book, storing all my favorite recipes for easy access. Having everything centralized helps me stay organized and efficient.
If you have more than 2 developers this thing is basically a requirement within github to manage sprints if you use agile methodology. Why use a different website entirely when you can run your entire board right from github itself? I've tried other solutions but basing everything on github issues makes it so no duplicate work has to take place. If the UX quirks and mobile were fixed this would be 10/10 for me! If you're only one or two devs on a team it may be overkill to use, but if you're going to scale it's better to put the process in early.
The customization options are excellent for sparking creativity and making organization enjoyable
Notion provides versatile scheduling features that empower you to organize personal tasks, work assignments, study schedules, and even appointments with ease.
Notion's free version is perfect for students, individuals who may not be able to afford the cost of the platform, or even those who simply want to try it out before committing.
Notion's free plan is great for personal use, but one big limitation is the file upload limit (5MB per file). If I want to attach larger images, PDFs, or videos, I have to find some other ways like linking to Google Drive instead. It would be nice if the limit was a bit higher.
There is no offline mode on Notion is probably my biggest frustration. If I'm in a place with no or bad internet, Notion just doesn’t work. I can’t access my notes, even if I opened them before going offline. A proper offline mode where I can view and edit notes without internet, and sync later would be great.
Notion's mobile app could have some improvement. I mostly use Notion on my desktop, but when I do use the mobile app, it feels a bit messy. Such as text editing is not as smooth as on the desktop and the user interface is not as intuitive as it is on the desktop.
Notion addresses most of our needs and help teams to organize their tasks, track their progresses and then archive for future reference. The company uses Notion to share announcement, holiday schedules, employee contact information and organizational structures. Everyone finds it useful and helpful. The notifications are instant. Reminders are on time.
ZenHub is one of the best GitHub repo-management software integrating the usage of work-boards and task management, with the ability to integrate several team members to the work table. This method makes the team more organized since everyone can keep track of their time and tasks of themselves and also others, so you can see how fast your teammates are working or if they need any help with something they're working on.
Support is good, but quite honestly, I haven't needed any support since 2015. As I remember, I was required to open a ticket and had to wait a few days for resolution. I give it a rating of 8 because of the lag in getting a solid resolution, but it was resolved adequately.
Jira is a great tool, that is probably more robust than Notion and more scalable. But for a small company (under 50 people) the investment is hard to swallow without a significant revenue stream justifying it. Notion is a perfect low cost option that meets 80% of the capability, and that extra 20% is not needed by most organizations.
I have used Workfront in the past, which in my experience, is best with a traditional waterfall methodology, similar to Microsoft Project and the other more traditional project management software projects. ZenHub is truly designed around the agile methodology. Other products that claim they are agile oriented seem to just be adjusting and tweaking their traditional product to include a few agile features.
Onboarding time has significantly reduced, possibly up to 70-80%, as new joinees can just be shared required notion documents.
It isn't great for project management because of its clunky and slow UI, so we used something else for task and project management on a granular level.
Great for document collaboration and writing collaborative product specs.
