Overall Satisfaction with Notion

As part of a legal team, I personally use Notion to organize internal legal documentation, maintain case trackers, and create structured repositories for research memos. More than any one else, I use Notion as my personal tracker for tasks and timesheet.
Rest of the team also uses it, but not nearly to my extent.

Pros

  • Easy to collect meeting notes and organize and categorize them
  • DD checklists for reference
  • Knowledge management - research memos, sources

Cons

  • Task and time tracking - slow app, time tracking is difficult to execute.
  • No granular access control (like view-only for external counsel, or restricted edit access per section)
  • We primarily work on office suite, but Notion does a decent job in collaboration. But it offers a lot less control over formatting like office does.
  • Very limited export options for documents.
  • Able to collate personal and team knowledge and learnings across deals
  • I am not losing on my salary because of Notion's overall help in me time tracking across deals and projects.
The interface is intuitive, and personally made templates generally make it easy to standardize processes. But it does take effort to maintain structure over time. Also, mobile editing isn’t ideal for reviewing documents on the go. The apps (mobile and desktop) are slow and clunky though.
Needed something outside of Microsoft Office for overall deal and project tracking and collating our collective knowledge and learnings from different deals.
We have not evaluated against anything else.

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Notion again?

Yes

It is incredibly helpful for internal team organization and some level of cross-functional collaboration. But I would not rely on it for secure legal document storage or complex contract lifecycle management. Works well as a lightweight legal wiki or project hub. Mostly for very small teams or personal use.
