Overall Satisfaction with Notion

I use Notion to organize scheduling, inventory, and manage files. I run a knitwear design company, so there are a lot of moving parts in the pattern writing process and many different files, contacts, and notes that need to stay organized. Notion helps me to separate these components into different projects and many different folders so nothing gets lost or misplaced.

Pros

  • Sharing capabilities
  • The ability to link pages and outside resources
  • The different views help to best see data and components of a project

Cons

  • I would like to see image re-sizing be a little easier and more customizable
  • Custom text colors would be good for color coding
  • More options for tag types and more obvious calculation formulas offered
  • Allowed me to sell over 30 copies of my first patteren
  • managed a test knit process with nine different sizes and eleven different testers
  • provides a landing space for up to five different patterns in the process of being published
Notion can either be used in its basic form or be delved into and used for all of its advanced features. Whichever way you use it, it is extremely helpful and allows you to have some sort of organization. The educational and how-to opportunities that Notion offers for free are great to dive deeper into all of the functionalities. If I ever have a question on how to do something, it is super easy to find the answer/solution.
Notion is the most in depth of all of the above applications. You can make a simple to-do list and share it with other people, or dive deep into formulas and page linking. I appreciate that it does not take a large time to set up like monday.com, but it still offers a huge array of features like Miro.

Do you think Notion delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did Notion live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Notion go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Notion again?

Yes

Notion is great for organizing small teams of people who already know how to use Notion to its full capabilities. It might not be well suited for large companies or people who do not understand the basics of how Notion works. I find that it is helpful as a community brain dump space and a file organizer, but not as helpful for assigning tasks, or organizing a timeline. However, notion is great also for an individual business because the organizational capabilities are so customizable.
