Overall Satisfaction with Notion

I think it is only used in my department, not sure about the entire organization. We use it as a place to collaborate and store files. It has a lot of features that make it useful for project management and planning. Personally, I use it to store my notes and compile my research for others to access.
  • Clean interface
  • Tables/databases have nice functions
  • Multi-purpose
  • There is a learning curve since there are a lot of capabilities
  • Would like more spreadsheet functions
  • More info/ideas on how to use new features
  • Table/database feature
  • The different views are good for visualizing timelines
  • I like the tags feature on tables
  • It has had a positive ROI in terms of being used for user research to create a better end product
  • It is also great for project management - so it has saved a lot of time and boosts productivity
Notion has a clean interface that makes it more appealing for users. It also seems to have more capabilities than Google Sheets in terms of being used for project management. The database features are more straightforward since they don't require the user to type in the command. The templates make it useful for personal tasks such as planning and note-taking.

Do you think Notion delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Notion's feature set?

Yes

Did Notion live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Notion go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Notion again?

Yes

It is well suited in situations where group work is required because it is a one access point that can keep track of tasks and info. It's very easy to collaborate there because of the comments feature. Although it has a database feature, it wouldn't be appropriate for handling large datasets - it's best for simple spreadsheets.
