"User-Friendly UI That Boosts Productivity—Plus Claude AI Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

The UI is user-friendly, and it can be connected with Claude for AI. It’s great for work productivity and helps boost performance. It helps me organize every project that’s been assigned to me, and I can easily see all the deadlines in Notion Calendar. I can also create a database about our subcontractors and monitor the RFQs we’ve sent out. Another thing I like is that it can connect to other pages in our workspace, which makes it easier to keep everything linked and organized. I don't know about the pricing, but I guess it's worth every penny given how user friendly it is and easy to learn during my onboarding with our workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

The main things I dislike about Notion so far are that it doesn’t have an offline mode and it doesn’t offer a local file directory like Google Drive. If I could keep my local files within Notion, I think it would really boost my productivity.

I also run into issues with table views. It can be difficult to scroll left and right unless I first scroll all the way to the bottom, which interrupts my workflow. On top of that, it’s sometimes a bit annoying that when I click cells in a table database, it always pops up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Build Anything on a Blank Page—A Connected, Playful Workspace"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

Honestly, the thing that keeps me coming back is how good it feels to actually use. The pages are clean and calm, nothing's shouting at you, and moving stuff around is weirdly satisfying — I hit the slash key and the page just morphs into whatever's in my head, whether that's a checklist, a table, or a full write-up. There's no fighting the tool.

The other big one is that my whole scattered life finally lives under one roof. My documents, my Slack threads, my Drive files, the tasks I'd normally lose track of — they all sit next to each other and actually link up, so I'm not bouncing between ten tabs trying to remember where something went. And the built-in assistant has quietly become part of my routine: I'll ask it to boil a long note down, draft a rough first version of something, or fish out a detail I only half-remember, and it just does it right where I'm already working.

On top of that, when I've come across something I didn't know how to do, getting unstuck was easy — there's plenty to lean on to figure things out, and the starting templates give you a running jump instead of a cold start. For what I get out of it day to day, it comfortably earns the spot it takes up in my routine and my budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

The flip side of all that freedom is that it can quietly eat your time. The same smoothness that makes building a page fun also makes it really easy to sit there prettifying something for an hour instead of doing the actual work — I've absolutely lost an evening making a page look nice that I barely opened again.

My more practical gripe shows up once I've got a lot piled in: things can get a touch sluggish, and every so often I go hunting for a note I know exists and it takes longer than it should to surface. Little friction, but it adds up on a busy day.

And I remember the early days being a bit daunting. That blank page is freedom, sure, but when you're new it's also a "…okay, now what?" moment, and it takes a minute before the ready-made starting points and help actually click. There's a learning curve. The cost is the other honest one — once you fold in a few teammates and the extra bells and whistles, the number creeps up, so you do end up doing the mental math on whether you're squeezing enough value out of it. For me the answer's yes, but it's a fair question to ask. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One Place for All My Notes, Tasks, and Ideas"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

As someone who likes to stay organized, Notion has been a big help for me. I use it to track my study schedule, keep my notes in one place, manage my to-do lists, and plan projects. The interface feels clean, and the customization options make it easier to stay focused and keep everything structured the way I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

One thing I don’t like is that Notion can feel a bit slow when I’m working with larger pages or databases. It also has so many features that it can be overwhelming for new users, and building a workspace from scratch takes time and a bit of patience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A23 & Prosperr's Knowledge Base"
4/5
What do you like best about Notion?

The documentation part is what I love the most about Notion. In-fact when I joined Prosperr, I remember documenting all my PRDs & user stories on Notion itself. Also not just this, the tracking and everything was also very seamless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

Honestly, there's nothing much which I dislike about Notion but I sometimes feel that the fact that Notion doesn't exist as a standalone entity is what saddens me. What I am trying to say here is the fact that most corporates use Linear or Jira for work management, so Notion doesn't have a standalone product which could distinguish it from the market is what I dislike. I tried convincing my management a lot to take Notion but unfortunately that never happened Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Impressive MVP Delivery, but Serious Privacy Concerns Keeping Me Up At Night"
3/5
What do you like best about Notion?

There are options to make agents and I actually had one of my micro services coded out and deployed as fully working minimal viable product without even realising that there was an ability to do it. I just put all my documents like PRD spec kit brand kit and everything and notion came back a day later to a working app 😊 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

I had an email from from Notion that offered to build my start-up product for me and that was from the PD in my Notion in the private section not okay I have small entities pattern and Patent Pending warning on it. I've already told my patent attorney, but that's not okay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-One Notion Workspace with an Amazing Interface and Built-In AI"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

As a Social Media Executive, what I like most about Notion is that I don’t have to use multiple tools and documents everything is organized in one place. The interface is amazing and easy to use, and I can even integrate it with my other AI tools. The AI feature itself is great too; I don’t have to switch to separate AI tools just to brainstorm ideas. Overall, Notion’s performance has been incredible.

Notion’s templates, tutorials, and help resources also make onboarding easier, even though there’s still a learning curve for more advanced workflows. The only downside for me is the pricing. I personally feel it’s kind of expensive but apart from that, everything is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

While the platform is highly flexible, new users may find it overwhelming at first. Performance can also slow down occasionally when working on content-heavy pages. Sometimes the LLM in Notion just starts giving repetitive answers. Additionally, although Notion offers many integrations, certain workflows may still require third-party tools or extra workarounds. Despite these limitations, the benefits generally outweigh the drawbacks for my day-to-day work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notion: A Flexible All-in-One Workspace That Streamlines My Projects"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

I've been using Notion for a long time now across different projects, and it has become my go-to workspace. I rely on it for storing project documents, taking notes, and managing my to-do lists all in one place. The flexibility to organize everything the way I want, combined with how easy it is to link related pages together, has made my workflow much smoother. It's great to have one tool that replaces several separate apps I used to juggle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

There isn't much I dislike, but the learning curve can be a bit steep at first since there are so many ways to structure pages and databases. Occasionally the mobile app feels a little slower to load compared to the desktop version, especially on pages with a lot of content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing tool for students!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

As a soon to be college student and former high school senior, my academic career has surrounded around Notion for the past few years. I got into Notion after watching people online utilize it to manage their day and honestly, I can't thank Notion enough for helping me get my life back on track. I am easily able to organize all my notes, list and checkoff all my assignments, and make it feel/function exactly how I want. Furthermore it's so fun to use as a journal, plan, and budget my expenses! Notion was a tad overwhelming at first to get started but I found so many great templates in their marketplace that helped me get straight to work. Besides the basics, I found Notion AI to be incredible, honestly the most integrated I've ever seen an agent to be. It has been a game changer in how I track my assignments and get questions answered. Can't recommend Notion enough to my friends! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

Notion has so many features that I find truly helpful in the way I work, however the most expected thing that I can say is that larger databases like mine will eventually begin to suffer performance issues, even on powerful computers. Notion's system is also beginning to grow rapidly at the cost of simplicity. A lot of features that I continue to use are tucked away or harder to find now. Pricing is also a bit on the expensive side if I were to get a monthly subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notion’s UX Is Second to None—Built Exactly the Way I Think"
5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

I work in tech sales for an engineering software company that has become the most popular software in the industry due to user experience, so I rank the important of user experience very high, and I think Notion is second to none in that category. When I use Notion, I feel like someone got into my brain and designed this software specifically for me. It just works the way I expect it to and it still finds a way to exceed my expectations. I have a list of like 5 enhancement requests. That's not many at all after using it heavily for a year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

I wish the data could be shared in more restrictive ways so you could control the amount of properties or details a viewer could see.

1) I wish you cold hide the main page's property column in a database view. This would allow you to share the view of the database with someone without the risk of them digging deeper into data you don't want them to see.

2) I wish you could create an exact clone of another database and just eliminate columns from it while the rest of the columns/rows continued to stay synced. That would be another way to share data while restricting it.

3) You could also assign permissions to properties/columns. By specifying permissions on a column-by-column basis, you could ensure your shared data isn't revealing proprietary information.

The other thing that bugs me is the inability to create a rollup of a rollup. I understand that this limitation probably exists to limit performance issues, but I think I should be able to have an exception if I choose to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Versatile, Customizable Platform with Strong Integrations and Built-In AI"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

Its versatility stands out. It can be customised to do almost anything, and it also has great integrations with outside tools. The built-in AI can do a lot as well, which makes it even more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

There are no duplicate checks in databases by default.

Export functionality is available to everyone, which makes it difficult to implement in large organisations. The ability to disable exports should be a primary feature.

Pricing is an issue for developing markets like India. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
