I really like the database templates in particular, and I also like how I can integrate and link documents from Drive and Slack. The Zoom/AI transcription option is another feature I appreciate, especially the meeting summary that comes out of it afterward.

Overall, it’s pretty straightforward and easy to use. I use it every day for our projects, but also for notes and reminders. I don’t think I’ve had any issues while using it; if anything has come up, it’s been related to my internet connection. Otherwise, it works very smoothly. I also love the pictures and emojis we can add to pages, and I’m a big fan of the toggles.

For all the options and integrations it offers, I do believe we’re getting our money’s worth as an organization.

When I first started using Notion, we had training, and it was also part of my onboarding process to get familiar with it since the whole organization uses it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I get overwhelmed whenever I try to look up how to do something in Notion, and I would love a simpler process. I also feel like there’s so much in Notion that I could do with it, but I don’t know what all the options are or how to use them. I find myself spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to use those features, and then either I’m successful or I end up giving up.

I’d also love to have more template options. Sometimes the templates feel too complicated, and other times they’re too simple.

I feel like the Notion calendar isn’t that helpful, or maybe I’m just not using it to the best of its capacity.

I think adding more training resources—like recorded “how to” videos, or simpler and more accessible guides—would be really valuable. It would also help to get a notification (or something similar) when a new feature is added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Notion for team review, project status, and sprint. I use it as a unified knowledge base for me to check how the things are going on, where my progress is, and what is the new task that I have done. It also helps me to get in touch with our team lead to update the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I get lost while moving around the app, because the settings and the user interface can feel confusing for beginners. It’s like the side menus end up going the wrong way. I think the navigation should be adjusted and made clearer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like having the option to transcribe meetings and then organize the information into data tables. The UI is clean, simple, and easy to understand, which makes it straightforward to get started. Performance is fast, and in my experience the AI engine has been great for the way I’ve been using it.

That said, the integrations haven’t worked very well for me because they’re blocked by my company. I’d love to integrate it with my Outlook or Agenda, but I haven’t had the chance to set that up yet, so I can’t really comment on how well those integrations work. Pricing feels a bit on the high side. On the plus side, support has been amazing and quick, in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price and the steep learning curve on using the data sheets properly and connecting them to actually uncover the true power of Notion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Extreme Flexibility and Databases:

What sets Notion apart most is its ability to combine note-taking and project ideas in one place, thanks to its flexible databases feature. The ability to link tables together (Relations) and create different views for the same data (such as Calendar View, Kanban Board, and Gallery View) allows me to organize and manage my time and projects in a professional and integrated way, eliminating the need to use multiple separate apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike most is the lack of a full offline mode. It makes it difficult to access or edit my notes and databases when I don't have an internet connection, making the app unreliable for offline productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Notion is how flexible and well-organized it is. I use it to manage my medical school notes, structure my ENARM study plan, and keep track of my tasks all in one place. The databases, page linking, and template features make it easy to stay on top of everything without needing multiple apps. I also appreciate being able to access my workspace across different devices, and I like how simple it is to customize Notion to match my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Notion is the learning curve, especially when you start creating databases and building more advanced workflows. It can also feel a bit sluggish at times, particularly when I’m working with large pages or managing a more complex workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is that the database structure and the Claude integration work together. I run several concurrent roles: CEO of a clinical-stage gene therapy company, managing partner of a venture studio, and board seats at two other companies. Notion is the one place where all of that lives as a connected system, rather than separate silos, with my CRM, project trackers, meeting notes, and capital formation pipeline all linked.

The part that makes it more than storage is that Claude works out of those same databases directly. I can ask for a status update on an investor relationship and it pulls the actual conversation history from Notion instead of relying on what I remember to tell it. After a call, it can log the notes and update the relevant project or contact record without me retyping anything. That back-and-forth between Notion and Claude, research pulled from my own data and written straight back into it, is what makes the system function as a working tool rather than a place I file things and forget.

Dense database views don't render well on a phone, and if I want to check a contact or project status right before walking into a call, that's exactly when I need it to work.

The other friction is Notion's page-level permission model. Claude can only see pages I've explicitly connected through Notion's own Connections setting, so a private page I haven't run that step on stays invisible even though I have full access to it myself. It's a reasonable security boundary, but there's no indication when a page is being silently excluded, so I've been burned by assuming something was there when it wasn't.

I like how easy it is to use, and that I don’t have to manually add it to my daily calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a little complicated. I’m sure it would be useful for a team, but for a single person using Notion, everything besides the library and meeting features feels like overkill. I tried integrating it with my outlook calender but couldnt do that. Performance is phenomenal. Pricing seems a little steep for India market but again if its for a team it would be decent enough. Not used the support or AI feature as of now, but that is the plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can structure things in any way that I want. I can create databases and pages with different sections, headers, footers, and dividers in between. It helps me specifically with my social media planning by allowing me to have sections dedicated to showing my growth over time with a graph, and another section where I can put different tasks or to-do items for the next video I'm going to create.

I find Notion has a steep learning curve if I don't have experience with similar software. The initial setup was pretty easy for me, but I found understanding how to build out each page and function challenging. I think more tutorials could help me and other new users.

I love everything about Notion. It's become the tool I can't imagine working without. It's incredibly easy to use, yet powerful enough to organize even the most complex information without ever feeling overwhelming. I especially appreciate being able to build nested pages that expand, grow, and rearrange as needed. so information can start small and unfold as much as I want it to. That flexibility keeps everything flowing intuitively rather than forcing my thinking into a rigid structure. What I love most is that Notion lets our entire knowledge base live in one place, so the whole company can find what they need no matter what team they're on. It's become a single source of truth, and that kind of clarity is invaluable. The initial set up was a breeze, and I'm consistently impressed by how thoughtfully the team keeps improving the platform. They add meaningful updates and new capabilities without ever burying the features that I rely on or making things harder to navigate. They grow it mindfully, and as someone who lives in this tool every day, I truly appreciate that care. It's rare to find a platform that's this adaptable, this reliable, and this genuinely enjoyable to use. Notion has made the way I work, and the way our whole team works, so much better.

Nothing that I can think of. It works, and it works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love most about Notion is how it can serve as a single source of truth for both my personal organization and my professional workflows. Rather than constantly switching between a separate notes app, a task manager, and a spreadsheet tool, Notion allows me to pull everything into one flexible workspace where it all stays connected.

While the initial setup is straightforward, getting comfortable with the more advanced database features—such as complex formulas, rollups, and multi-tier relationships—does come with a slight learning curve. Also, although the Integrations ecosystem is expanding with native connections like Slack, GitHub, and Google Drive, more in-depth workflow automations can still occasionally require third-party tools like Make or Zapier to run smoothly.
