"Works great for my day-to-day"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

Connecting Notion with automation tools like n8n makes my work easier and faster when filling out research documentation and other product development documents. Additionally, I've noticed a considerable improvement in the platform's UX (for instance, being able to list items within a table). Finding items is easier, which has allowed me to explore and play around with the platform more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

Document search is difficult. I can't view all pages in a list format and search comfortably; instead, only a few appear by default, and I lose track of the rest because they don't show up in that initial modal. The AI looks great, and I would like to use it, but the credits run out too quickly with very simple questions. It actually works out better for me to connect the workspace with n8n and search from there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Productivy Tool in the Market"
5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

I go to Notion for the templates. I have a hard time storing stuff and making my own pages, but having pre-made templates is the best thing about Notion. All sorts of pages are available, and I use it regularly - my most recent one being for travel. And the AI helping is absolutely god send! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

I don't think I dislike anything about Notion. It is absolutely the amazing application, the prices are well adjusted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible All-in-One Workspace, But Performance and Search Can Lag"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

What I love most about Notion is that it can replace five different apps by bringing notes, tasks, and docs into one clean workspace. The flexibility to build custom databases—whether as Kanban boards, calendars, or simple lists—lets me organize projects in a way that matches how my brain works.

The block-based editor makes it feel effortless to structure information, and being able to link pages together helps create a strong knowledge base for the whole team. Overall, it cuts down on clutter and keeps everyone on the same page, without the usual chaos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

What frustrates me most about Notion is how sluggish it becomes once you start building larger databases or heavier pages—the performance lag is real, and it’s especially noticeable on mobile.

Search can also feel surprisingly clunky. When you have a massive workspace, finding a specific note often ends up being harder than it should be.

I’m also not a big fan of the steep learning curve for new team members, and offline mode still feels pretty unreliable if you suddenly lose Wi‑Fi in the middle of working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notion Brings Notes, Projects, and Databases Together in One Intuitive Workspace"
5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

What I like most about Notion is how it combines note-taking, project management, documentation, and databases into a single workspace with a clean and intuitive interface. The drag-and-drop editor, customizable templates, and flexible page structure make it easy to organize both personal and team projects. It integrates well with tools like Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, and Google Calendar, which helps keep my workflow connected. Performance is smooth even with large workspaces, and syncing across devices is reliable. The free plan offers excellent value, while the paid plans provide worthwhile features for growing teams. Getting started is straightforward thanks to the tutorials, templates, and helpful documentation. I also appreciate the AI features, which help summarize notes, brainstorm ideas, improve writing, and speed up everyday tasks, making me more productive overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

While Notion is very powerful, its flexibility can feel overwhelming for new users, and there’s a noticeable learning curve before you can fully take advantage of everything it offers. Performance also occasionally slows down when working with very large databases or content-heavy pages. Some integrations still require third-party tools or manual setup, which can disrupt workflows. The AI features are helpful, but they’re only available with an additional subscription, which raises the overall cost for individual users. I also wish there were more built-in onboarding guidance for advanced features, along with faster responses when submitting complex support requests. Improving offline functionality, expanding native integrations, and including more AI capabilities in the standard plans would make Notion even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notion Keeps Everything Organized in One Clean, Customizable Workspace"
5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

I like how Notion brings everything together in one place. Rather than keeping notes, tasks, and project details scattered across different apps, I can organize it all within a single workspace. The interface feels clean, the pages are easy to customize, and it works well for both personal planning and collaborative group projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

It takes a bit of time to get comfortable with all the features, especially when you’re using it for the first time. Some of the more advanced options aren’t very easy to locate, and when working with larger pages, it can sometimes feel a little slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Minimalist UI and Flexible Databases That Streamlined Our Agency Workflow"
5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

What do you like best about Notion?

Its minimalist UI/UX and flexible databases transformed our agency's workflow. The drag-and-drop interface and rich integrations (Slack, Google Drive) save us hours each week by centralizing brand assets, sprints, and client wikis into a single hub.

What do you dislike about Notion?

The steep learning curve can overwhelm new hires, and the higher-tier pricing for advanced AI features feels a bit steep for growing teams. Performance can also lag slightly when heavy image-rich design pages load simultaneously.

What problems is Notion solving and how is that benefiting you?

It eliminates app-switching and scattered files, streamlining our creative briefs and project tracking. The unexpected benefit is how seamlessly it preserves our agency's tribal knowledge, keeping remote teams aligned across time zones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

From an agency perspective, the lack of direct customer support when troubleshooting sudden permission locks or more complex formula errors can be frustrating. On top of that, onboarding new clients into shared workspaces often takes a lot of hand-holding, since they’re not as familiar with the system architecture and how everything is set up.

"A Flexible “Second Brain” with Powerful Databases and Contextual Notion AI"
4/5
What do you like best about Notion?

What I like best about Notion is its flexibility. I can bring projects, tasks, research, journals, content production, relationships, and long-term knowledge into one connected workspace, rather than spreading everything across separate tools.

I use Notion as a genuine “second brain”: capturing ideas quickly, organizing them through databases, and gradually turning them into projects, content, or concrete next steps. Notion AI has made this even more valuable by helping me find information across a large workspace, structure voice notes and meeting notes, develop ideas, and create workflows that understand the context of my work. The combination of flexible writing, connected databases, and contextual AI is what makes Notion unique for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

What I dislike most is that a powerful Notion workspace can become complex and difficult to maintain over time. As databases, relations, templates, dashboards, and automations grow, it becomes easy to create overlapping systems or lose track of where information belongs.

Performance can also slow down on complex pages and large databases. I would like more powerful native automations, better offline support, and clearer control over how Notion AI uses workspace context. Notion offers enormous flexibility, but getting the most out of it still requires considerable system design and regular maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Simple Workspace with Killer AI and Integrations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

I like how fast and simple with easy to use the workspace and the AI features are killer for this app. It also supports many integrations, like issue trackers, spreadsheets, docs, GitHub, and more. For my use case, Notion provides a complete set of features at an affordable price. this app also give me easy setup, no need effort to use it and quick support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

I’ve had some issues using the Notion desktop app on my MacBook likes heavy to load. When I first open it, sometimes the app takes too long to load. Other times, it only shows the skeleton menu, and I have to restart the app to solve the problems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralizes Tasks with Sleek Customization"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

I appreciate how Notion helps me centralize all tasks in our calendar task list and projects, which allows my team to see everything clearly. The sleek design of Notion stands out to me, along with its color palette, which I find very good. The platform's ability to customize things makes my work pretty efficient. For example, I can use a palette of colors for different tasks to show their status. The ability to create different types of layouts like sheets or lists is pretty cool, and it makes working with the calendar much more efficient. I value how it allows me to centralize everything in one app and customize it, giving me more control over projects and lists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

I think synchronizing with email that isn't linked to Google would be a great improvement. Also, I wish we could create recurring tasks that pop up before the day comes, like reminders for bill payments. With Notion, I have to wait until the specific date to see the recurring task, and unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to make it show beforehand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile and Intuitive for Team Management"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

I love that Notion is able to connect databases, templates, and AI-assisted workflows. It helps me turn scattered information into clearer systems, assign ownership, track decisions, and ensure important work doesn't depend on memory or just one person. Databases are especially helpful as they allow me to create structured systems instead of keeping information in disconnected pages. I can track projects, ownership, review dates, decisions, documents, and operational signals all in one place, with different views for different needs. I also found that Notion is flexible and intuitive enough to start using quickly without tech knowledge, making the initial setup for basic pages and simple databases fairly easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

I think it's how to make complex databases and automations easier to build and maintain. As systems grow, formulas, or permissions, and views can become difficult to fix or troubleshoot, and it's not always clear why something is not behaving as expected. I would also love stronger native integrations and reliable AI workflows. Notion AI is useful, but greater control over sources and audit trails would make it much more practical for operational work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
