Notion

Awesome product for companies

Comments: Amazing, I really enjoy using it and they add a lot of new content

Pros:

Is easy to use and has a loot of documentation and tutorials. Is easy to search things and has a lot of things to write custom stuff. Mobile app.

Cons:

Maybe, as a QA Engineer, I didnt have a lot of tools to add test scenarios, which makes sense, but will be nice to add everything in one place

Notion standout features and integrations.

Comments: Notion has good chat feature within the system with multiple integrations this making it easy in task management.

Pros:

Notion offers many customizable templates for quick set up. With Notion you can assign tasks to individual team members and set due dates for everyone to know what they need to do and when. Has collaboration tools which makes us to work effectively and communicate perfectly while working on projects.

Cons:

May not be best for scalability,but it has been so helpful.

Great product, but gets messy fast.

Comments: When set up well, Notion is great. But it does require a lot of maintenance and upkeep to stop it from becoming really messy.

Pros:

The design of the software is excellent and the user interface is very pleasant. This makes it easy to use on a regular basis, which is essentially for a piece of software like this.

Cons:

Notion can get too complicated too quickly, and they also pulled over $800 worth of credits on my account with no explanation or notice. That's what made me stop using the product in the end.

Great for Startups, not sure about Mature Businesses

Comments: The way we used it at the startup I was working remotely at was kind of like a complete workplace with all the documents and various functions and projects loaded on there. I think this works well for a small team, but I don't think its super scalable without some serious forethought and planning, and likely some kind of "Notion Consultant" to help organise things.

Pros:

Notion has a lovely layout with the left sidebar containing all the different pages, projects, tasks, etc. A little silly, but I love that we can add banners and emojis to the title and make the "virtual workplace" our own. Its great to be able to integrate other apps into Notion. We added our Gdrive, Slack, and Figma into the space and it functioned well. There are also ways to share specific pages with guests, and its possible to have private pages, separate from the team.

Cons:

As lovely as the layout is, our Notion became cluttered and messy fast because we didn't quite know where to add what (e.g. tasks, projects, pages, etc.). It takes quite a bit of knowledge and forethought to organise a team around it. I also don't like that there are very limited fonts and typography. So anything that we export to PDF doesn't look part of our brand and we have to re-do it on another software. Also, when we embed documents in our pages, we don't quite have the same visibility (i.e. we have to click on a specific page to see what documents are linked to it). Maybe that's the way its intended to be, but I found it a little annoying and often just used Gdrive instead.

Great tool for productivity

Pros:

I liked the interface of the notion. It is easy to use and navigate, as it is intuitive. I like that I can adapt to it in such a short time. Also I like that they provide templates for new users who might be struggling to design their own interface at first.

Cons:

The biggest thing that I disliked about Notion is that most of the functions work only when I am online. It is hard to use and hard to access in situations when I am offline.
