About Notion
Notion is a project and workflow management solution that helps businesses streamline operations related to goal setting, status tracking, lead management, and more on a centralized platform. It enables users to utilize the drag-and-drop interface to organize, rearrange, and develop ideas, thoughts or plans.
Notion allows businesses to build and maintain a knowledge base for multiple topics such as task instructions, coding guidelines, HR workflows, and more. With the built-in calendar and kanban boards, users can create roadmaps and monitor tasks based on completion status, category, priority, or assigned team members. In order to enhance collaboration, team members can add comments on tasks and projects in order to start discussions.
Notion comes with an application programming interface (API), which enables businesses to integrate the system with several third-party solutions including Slack, Figma, and InVision. It enables users to create to-do lists, prepare meeting notes, and set up weekly agendas on a unified platform.

Why I live in notion on a daily basis

I live in my notion database as an independent consultant, using it for tasks, meeting notes, second brain database and heaps more. It took me about 6 months to really find my feet but once it clicked, the capability has been super impressive. The community support around the product is fantastic, and the ability to buy templates makes up for the steeper learning curve if you are having trouble getting started.
Pros
Flexibility to create what you need. The AI tool is a game changer as far as recalling info within your database.
Cons
It does have a steep learning curve, although there is training available, and heaps of resources online, it still takes some time to get your head around it if you have not used a system like this before.

Overall, Notion is one of my favorite apps as a small business owner. They are constantly updating it with new features, and the version that I use is even free. Notion saves me time and money every single day!
Pros
Notion is such a robust software. There are SO many things that you can do within it. It eliminated my need for several other apps, and even saved me money in being able to cancel them.
Cons
It can be a bit overwhelming at first- templates definitely help!

For me it is not a professional tool because it is very slow as I said before and the support is very bad.
I have actually a big bug which exist since 2 years and Notion support don't help me about it.
My bug is:
I have 2 databases and 1 column to make some "Relation" between them. It was working perfectly before but some day Notion made some update and since this day, In my "Relation" column, it does not suggest anymore the datas that I have in another table.
I reported this issue and the support team ignores this.
Notion has a lot of limited features for FREE accounts like automations, file upload limit or inviting some family member.
Pros
The ability to create databases quickly to store informations instead of using Excel for example.
Cons
Notion is EXTREMELY slow if you are using it to store a lot of data like 2000+ pages
The support, it is very very very VERY difficult to get some one AND it is EXTREMELY difficult to report a bug.
Each time we report a bug or something like this, the support is like a robot, they ask ALWAYS the same questions like "What is your device please?" even if I precise it before and I say it is the same issue on each device

I was an Apple Notes guy for a long time. However, there were two features that I didn't like about it. One, I couldn't link my notes together and two, it was cumbersome to share my notes with others, especially non-iphone users. Notion solved both these problems and provides an excellent user interface.
Pros
Notion is the superior notes taking app. A few of my favorite features are the ability to organize withing projects and tasks, the ability to have different kind of notes (one type for personal notes, and another to track tasks), the ability to publish notes to the web without needing a specific domain, and the ability to share notes with others on your team and have them update easily.
Cons
Notion does take a little while to learn, but once you understand how the system works, it's excellent. I use it for my personal notes as well as project tracking with my team.
Alternatives Considered
TrelloReasons for Switching to Notion
We tried Trello for a while, but Notion gives way more flexibility in the ability to take notes and add documents. It also does not make you upgrade in order to set deadlines on tasks.- Industry: Airlines/Aviation
