Notion Reviews & Product Details

In my role as a Branch Operations Manager, I use Notion to manage my daily work tasks. I created a simple checklist to track activities like client follow ups, policy document work, and team coordination. It helps me keep everything in one place and makes it easier to see what is completed and what is still pending. The layout is clean and easy to understand, which makes daily work more organized.

At the beginning, it takes some time to understand how to create pages and set up tasks properly. Also, sometimes it feels slightly slow when working with multiple entries. However, once everything is set up, it works well for daily use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very useful for note taking I can summarise all my notes effectively Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI/UX: Navigation can feel clunky, especially within nested menus and larger workspaces, making it harder to quickly find pages.

Integrations: Solid overall, but some integrations feel limited or require workarounds compared to more specialized tools.

Performance: Can slow down with large databases or heavy pages, especially on desktop.

Pricing / ROI: Powerful, but pricing can feel high for smaller teams or individuals who don’t use all features.

Support / Onboarding: Good templates and docs, but onboarding can be overwhelming due to the flexibility and lack of clear structure.

AI / Intelligence: Promising features, though still evolving and not always seamlessly integrated into everyday workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Notion really helpful for organizing all my notes and managing tasks. The way the output from ChatGPT integrates with Notion is a huge plus for me, making it easier to create and save notes that I can reference later. I love the AI meeting feature, which I use to record lectures and take notes, helping me feel confident that I haven’t missed anything important. The ability to track all the different conditions and presentations I'm learning in med school is great, and using tables makes it easy to find important information. The setup was relatively easy; I used ChatGPT to create prompts that helped build the structure I needed in Notion. Overall, Notion's systematic organization and seamless integration with ChatGPT are very valuable to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish that there was a way to import PDFs and write on them. I find that the PDF function, especially with my lecture slides, requires a lot of screenshotting to drag them into Notion. I wish there was an easier way to have entire PDFs as a separate file within Notion that I could also take notes on. Also, I miss the fact that when I tag something as done in the to-do list, it doesn't sort of immediately disappear or go down the list. The to-do lists are a little bit clunky. It also doesn't integrate with my Outlook email, so I'm not able to use the calendar features because it doesn't import all of my different calendars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the the block system the ability to turn a simple note into a complex relational database. I love the AI-powered thread summaries, Slack Huddles, the Workflow Builder, the new Lists and Canvas features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup fatigue is a recurring pain point; I often find myself spending more time tinkering with the perfect dashboard layout or database property than actually doing the high-impact work I set out to do.

Apart from that Its a great platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

`it's the note taker that you don't need to worry about. Captures every detail, summarizes it and assigns to do items. The action items coming out of the sessions are the most meaningful since they are often super important to winning an opportunity or at least making an impression Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I expect it to make itself available instantly when I schedule a teams call, either for an internal or external meeting. It does not always. 75% of the time it gives me the option to take notes, but 24% of the time it does not, leaving me the responsibility of taking my own notes.

I really like the fact that all the pages can be connected. I like the database aspect and the different filtered views. Notion works like a big binder, so I can easily switch from one page to another and find the information I need. The filtered views allow me to manage the data either day by day or on a specific date. Moreover, Notion has made the transfer from Trello easier and has allowed us to greatly improve our system. I also use it in a personal capacity to organize trips or as a bullet journal. I love you Notion <3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Notion is difficult to access for novices, especially regarding formulas in databases. Even though I am comfortable with software, I often need AI to find certain formulas and connections. Internal training or tutorials to help understand Notion would be useful. The current AI helps create pages and databases, but not directly for formulas in columns.

What I like best about Notion is its flexibility—it can be customized to fit almost any workflow, whether it’s note-taking, project management, or documentation. I appreciate how it combines multiple tools (docs, databases, task tracking) into a single workspace, which reduces the need to switch between apps. The clean interface makes it easy to organize information, and the ability to create templates helps save time on repetitive tasks. Overall, it’s a powerful yet intuitive tool for both personal and team productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Notion is that it can sometimes feel slow, especially when working with large databases or complex pages. The offline functionality is also limited, which can be frustrating if you don’t have a stable internet connection. Additionally, while its flexibility is a strength, it can become overwhelming for new users due to the lack of structure out of the box. There are also some limitations in advanced automation and integrations compared to more specialized tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Notion super useful for documentation, organizing work, and logging meeting notes. The fact that I can edit from anywhere is great, and I love the simple yet powerful markdown system. The ability to use the slash (/) at the beginning of a line for formatting is really convenient because it allows me to modify lines quickly without using the mouse. The beautiful UI is another feature I appreciate. I can type stuff quicker, which enhances my productivity. It's also super good for managing PCB reworks and noting down wanted features. The initial setup was super quick, and the default template served as a good example. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the current version of Notion. The Ai search saved me from not finding the page more than I would like to admit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not easy to do multiple pages in the same desktop window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Notion is the flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Notion is that there’s a learning curve. Once you get past that, though, it becomes a seamless tool to use. You do have to learn quite a bit before you can really figure out how to make your own process smoother and more seamless. Overall, I feel like I’m getting my money’s worth, and the investment is worth it. I also love the shareability of Notion and how much information it can hold.
