Overall Satisfaction with Notion

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Notion helps [me] and my colleagues track meeting notes, spreadsheets, events, and other documents in a comprehensive one-screen platform. It's been much more coherent to manage projects and efforts than Google Docs since it has a nice sidebar directory and easy-to-organize sections. Anyone can use Notion very quickly, there isn't a large effort needed to train or learn about it, it's usable out of the box for any teammate at any level.

Alternatives Considered

Atlassian Confluence

6 years ago, Confluence seemed simple, now it is too complex for me. Notion is simple and easy to use and doesn't feel like too much going on. I hope Notion does not go too overboard with extraneous new features, simple is best, in my opinion.

Likelihood to Recommend

Notion is well suited for efforts ranging from taking notes for meetings or making kanban-like project boards tracking the progress of various efforts. I love making tables or spreadsheets in Notion, they have made it so easy! Where I feel like I am fussing with features to make tables elsewhere, it is super easy in Notion. Saves me time and makes information easier for other teammates to read.
