We use Notion as a platform to manage content from ideation to draft to editing to publication. We are a team of writers, editors, and content managers that are creating marketing and educational website content. Notion facilitates the content moving between each member of the team for their specific portion of the project. It operates in the way we wish Google Docs did!
- 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.
- Learning Curve. There is a bit of learning curve to understanding how the pages can be built to your needs, especially when it comes to table creation.
- Work History. Once an issue has been marked as "resolved," it becomes very hard to find if you need to reference something from the issue stream of conversation.
Notion is being used in many ways in my daily workflow. Including but not limited to project tracking, research, resourcing, issue resolution and notes. It has provide a centralized workspace and dashboard for workflow items. Features such as task tracking and relational databases are a strong suite of Notion that make it a go to application.
- Relational databases.
- Web clipping.
- Easy page and content formatting.
- Embedded code pens, gists, videos and more.
- Public API.

Notion is used by our product management department. We use it to document and surface research insights, track product feature discovery and delivery, communicate progress to stakeholders, and document strategies and other notes.
- Notion is adaptable to the way your organization thinks and organizes data.
- Notion makes sharing information with others very easy.
- Notion allows me to keep certain things private until I'm ready to share with others.
- Notion doesn't integrate with other services very well. It needs a public API (they've said it's coming).
- To get the most out of it, it can be a bit of work to set up. You need a person who is passionate about it to configure things for team collaboration.

[Notion] is currently being used by the whole company as our source of truth and wiki.
- Notion is very easy to use and create content on. With other Wikis, you have to edit the page using widgets and never know what it will look like until you are done. With Notion you get to create in the same view that others will see when they view your page.
- Notion is very clean and easy to read. There are a lot of different choices for how to format the content however you wold like.
- 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.

I use Notion to organize my company notes as well as ongoing project tasks. I am the sole user/department. Notion helps me to track all of my notes in one easy place.
- General organization.
- Easily changing a word/section into a new note for more details.
- Creating tables with custom data functions.
- Sometimes the data functions are difficult to get working.
- Wish there was an option for folders to better organized.
- Formatting does not work well when using copy/paste or exporting to another type of file or document.

This is the tool that my organization uses for the bulk of our team and client communication outside of email and Slack threads. It is our note taking app that we use to help manage client meetings and keep the internal teams cognizant of what is going on and what was said in the client meetings.
- The UX/UI of the platform is so simple and intuitive that we found the training on the platform to be almost redundant. It works how you expect it to when you expect it to.
- It is adaptable. You need to share docs on one client across the entire team, done. Do you need folders for different phases of the project? No sweat. It is adaptable to pretty much all projects we have used it for.
- It is cumbersome in offline mode, not unusable, just slow.
- Can't scan a note using your phone/tablet camera, only can add notes as an image.

Notion is one of the emerging productivity services that help users like me to take notes and create to-do lists easily. Notion gives simple and beautiful writing experience that supports more than 30 media types. Dark mode must be coming to Notion next week. I'm not quite as excited about this feature as other possible coming feature but it's still a welcome move.
- Easy to use
- Standalone Desktop App available
- Kanban Board
- Calendar and list views
- Android App always crash
- A bit high in pricing
- Only 5MB file upload limit in the free account
- Only 1000 block storage

We use Notion across our startup for all meeting minutes, note taking, company info, process docs etc. It helps us centralize all of our notes so that they're accessible to all of the relevant parties. We also keep steps for processes we use in Notion for new employees etc. The biggest pain it solves is to help us organize everything we need so that stuff doesn't get lost. It's also a super flexible platform so we're able to organize information in a lot of different ways.
- Extremely flexible. It allows us to be able to organize and display information in almost any way we've needed to
- It's extremely intuitive and easy to use. Even the shortcodes you can pick up very quickly.
- They have a great app and a seamless experience across web app, mobile, and even desktop app if you want it.
- They claim they want to be able to be an Airtable, Trello etc, but it's not quite there yet and even if it was it may be too much to pack into one software.
- It's very pricey and they have a terrible trial. As great as it is, it's difficult to make the case to pay what they ask for, especially for most startups. They should definitely have a better free tier
- Honestly not much else. I really like it.

We are using it within the design team as a place to collaborate, manage tasks, share knowledge and take notes. It solves our previous problem of having all sorts of things spread out across multiple platforms.
- Robust: Notion is so nicely made and really robust to use
- Databases: I love how Notion handles simple databases, allowing tons of flexibility of viewing and sorting
- Mobile: The mobile app is really nice
- More embeddable media types
- Needs a refresh every morning
