Overall Satisfaction with Notion

We use Notion for a variety of purposes. Our company OKRs, personal OKRs, project management, directory, employee handbook, requesting days off, etc. It's our home base for all aspects of our company. Notion is really helpful for storing all of our HR-related items and is a great place for us to host things like time-off requests.
  • Project management
  • Employee handbook
  • Organized
  • A little confusing to use at first
  • A little hard to navigate without a tutorial
  • I wish there was a way that completed tasks would automatically archive
  • Project management
  • OKR tracker
  • Super organized workspace
  • Being able to have insight into personal OKRs feeding into companywide OKRs
  • Creating a home base for all of our different departments' internal documents for items where Google Drive doesn't make sense to house them
  • It's super great to have my task list to keep myself moving forward to my OKRs
Basecamp's interface is graphically organized very differently from Notion so it's difficult to completely compare. I think overall Notion feels more appropriate for higher, c-level positions, whereas Basecamp feels more relevant for a leader to help organize their team.

Do you think Notion delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

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?

Yes

Would you buy Notion again?

Yes

Very well suited for a large company that has a lot going on. It helps to segment parts of your company and teams and to track what's going on. It's well suited for a company that has many moving pieces because it allows a company to focus and organize OKRs and not get lost in the mundane. I don't think it's well suited for a smaller business (less than 10 people).
