"Effortless Organization with Pages and Subpages"
5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

One of my favorite things about Notion is how easy it is to organize everything with pages and subpages. The natural hierarchy this creates helps keep even large projects tidy, structured, and easy to navigate.

One feature I’d really like to see is a more flexible way to reuse and reference the same page structures across different workspaces, without having to duplicate the content each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

One thing I dislike is how hard it can be to edit the same page when multiple people are working on it at the same time. Real-time collaboration often feels clunky, especially when others are typing or reorganizing content. It’s easy to lose your place, accidentally overwrite something, or end up interrupting each other’s work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Visually Appealing But Lacks Seamless Integration"
3/5
What do you like best about Notion?

I like the design of Notion, especially how it looks modular and lets me add photos, making it similar to designing a website interface. This design makes it more attractive to me and gets me excited about setting up new pages. The initial setup of Notion was also easy and enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

I haven't been able to get my daily habit tracker to integrate with my calendar as well as I would have liked. As such, I spent some time setting it up but never really stuck to using it. Another time, I tried to import Google Sheets using the AI feature to make a better literature review tracker. That also didn't work very well, so I kept on using my original Google Sheets. I wanted to make it possible to put check boxes on my calendar (as in, my Notion calendar), but that didn't work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customizable, Easy-to-Use Notion with Helpful AI Meeting Recording"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

What I like most about Notion is how customizable and flexible it is. I can integrate it with different platforms and keep all the information my team and I need in one place. The interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate.

The new AI meeting notes feature has been especially helpful. It lets me record meetings, quickly review the key discussion points, and turn them into actionable tasks right after each call. This saves me time and makes it easier to stay organized and follow up on important items.

Onboarding and setup were very straightforward. My team and I were able to learn the platform and start using it effectively within the first few days.

One area that could be improved is performance. Because I use Notion on a corporate device, it can sometimes be resource-intensive, particularly when I’m recording a meeting. A few times my computer has started to freeze and I’ve had to close the application. That said, this issue usually only happens while recording calls.

Overall, Notion has been a valuable tool for our team. It has improved how we organize information, collaborate, and manage our daily tasks, and what we paid for it has been worth every penny. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

I think Notion could provide a simpler way to organize notes. Rather than relying so heavily on pages nested inside other pages, it would be really helpful to have a more traditional folder-and-subfolder structure. That kind of setup would make it easier to locate information quickly and keep larger workspaces from feeling cluttered.

Another drawback is that the app can sometimes feel slow or consume a lot of system resources, especially when recording meetings. On corporate devices, this can occasionally impact overall performance and, in some cases, even cause the computer to freeze.

Even with these issues, Notion has been a valuable tool for my team, and what we paid for it was worth every penny. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notion: Highly Customizable and Easy to Use for All Levels"
5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

I like Notion because it is highly customizable. Both beginners and power users can use the tool and extract value from it relatively easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

Notion manages to gather many tools at the same time, which ends up being a hindrance when people want something simpler and more straightforward. The price should also be adjusted by country, because here in Brazil it is unfeasible to pay the amount in dollars. In this sense, Notion is at an impasse: either it stops selling to users like me, who cannot pay the full price, or it offers some discount to Brazilians and still manages to make a profit.

Moreover, Notion should consider optimizing performance better. I have been using it for several years and have thousands of pages, and this ends up weighing on my computer and making the experience slower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notion AI Turns Dictated Tasks Into the Right To-Do or Calendar"
5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

My favorite feature is being able to dictate tasks, projects, and commitments and then have Notion AI place them into the correct to-do list or calendar. As a bomb technician, C‑STAD founder, TRT Deputy Director, DHS instructor, and board member, that capture-and-sort workflow saves me a huge amount of time and helps me keep everything actionable in one workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

Not much to critique—I’m a huge fan. The main gap for me is native mind-map generation and stronger visual relationship mapping. I also wish multi-calendar synthesis into a single daily operating view went deeper and felt more fully integrated. Adding those capabilities would make an already excellent workspace even stronger, especially for complex public-safety and multi-program work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile Tool with a Steep Learning Curve"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

I love how Notion allows me to turn scattered information into a connected system. I can combine many different elements for various purposes, like project and progress tracking, and perform actions such as collaboration and publishing like a professional webpage. The flexibility is a big plus for me because I have specific needs and I enjoy having the freedom to customize. It's handy for personal tracking and resume publishing too. I also appreciate the feature that lets me link and connect different notes and plans easily, so I only need to update a master document, and it reflects everywhere. Plus, I can produce statistics and get visualization straight away, which is something I haven't found on other platforms that focus only on note-taking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

I find the learning curve slightly higher at the beginning, but with more practice and tutorials, I can overcome it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notion’s All-in-One Workspace That Keeps Projects, Tasks, and Docs Perfectly Linked"
5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

What I like best about Notion is how it collapses multiple tools into one flexible workspace. The database + relation system means I can link project trackers to task lists and docs without duplicating information, and switching between table, board, and calendar views on the same data is genuinely useful when different people on the team think in different formats.

For me specifically, it's replaced a scattered setup of Google Docs + separate task trackers — I use it to keep project notes, freelance client scopes, and quick technical documentation all in one place, cross-linked so I'm not hunting across tools. The templates and nested pages also make it easy to keep a consistent structure across projects without rebuilding from scratch every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

What I dislike about Notion is that meeting transcription doesn't support Hindi or Hinglish. A lot of my day-to-day conversations mix both languages, so when I rely on Notion AI to transcribe meetings, it either garbles the mixed-language parts or drops them entirely, which means I still end up taking manual notes to catch what the transcript missed. For a tool clearly investing in AI features, this feels like a significant gap for non-English-first teams.

Secondary to that, the AI credits run out fairly quickly — for how useful the AI features are, the limit feels a bit low, so I end up rationing usage instead of using it freely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Powerful, and Great for Staying Organized"
5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

I love how simple and intuitive Notion is to use. The syncing feature is fantastic, since it lets me check my notes on my phone or any other device, which is really convenient. I also like the variety of solid templates available to download. The structure it provides for note-taking and project planning is a huge benefit, and I appreciate having everything in one place, which also makes it easy to share with my clients. Overall, Notion’s ease of use is my favorite thing about it, and I’ve even convinced others to start using it for the same reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

Sometimes the search can be a bit inconsistent, especially in large workspaces. There are times when I need to revise something specific but can’t remember where it is, so I rely on search and I notice the inconsistency. It doesn’t happen so often that I’d really complain, but it’s something I’ve felt from time to time. Other than that, I don’t have much else in mind. One additional thing I’d like is more themes, beyond just light and dark mode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notion’s All-in-One Flexibility: Customizable Blocks, Databases, and Templates"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

What I like most is the flexibility — the fact that you can customize almost any system: from a simple to-do list to a whole database of projects with filters, links between pages, Kanban boards.

I like that everything lives in one place. I used to have notes in one application, a task manager in another, and a team wiki in a third. With Notion, I moved everything there and stopped switching between dozens of tabs.

I also like the block structure — you can drag any element anywhere, nest pages inside each other without restrictions, combine text, tables, images, and codes on one page naturally.

And templates — if you don't want to invent a system from scratch, you can always take a ready-made template and customize it for yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

The speed of work is probably the biggest problem. When a page becomes large (many blocks, nested databases), it starts to slow down. Loading is sometimes noticeably slow, especially on weaker internet or mobile.

Offline mode still feels raw. If the internet goes down, it becomes inconvenient to work, and synchronization is sometimes buggy.

The learning curve is also not easy. When you first start, there is a feeling of "what can you do?" - and until you watch a few videos or spend time experimenting, you simply don't use many powerful features (relation, rollup, formulas) because you don't understand how to approach them.

The search is also annoying - in a large workspace with a bunch of pages, finding what you need can take longer than you would like.

And the mobile application is noticeably weaker than the desktop version - some things are inconvenient to do there or you can't do them at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notion’s AI-Powered Project Management and Easy Workflows"
5/5
What do you like best about Notion?

I think the most best about notion is that the project management with the help of AI Agents and chat, also automations! As a Campus leader of notion at Institute of management Sciences community i have created a task tracker for our community and i have managed all the tasks and projects that we were working on very very efficiently and greatly ! additionally i have set up an automation of that whenever i assign someone a task they should get an email from me that they have been assign this particular task and all the time and details too !!! I think thats the best thing about notion that all the mess can be easily summed up into a single workspace !! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notion?

One thing i dislike about notion i that at first when i tried to setup the workspace for my community, and the moment i added my members it gave me a block limit ! and i had to buy the notion premium ! i think that was something that i disliked about Notion ! but eventually it the matter was sorted out as notion provides free notion plus for student led communities !
