Versatile productivity tool that requires commitment and a learning curve

I have experience using both Asana and Notion and when it comes to choosing between the two, I find myself leaning more towards Notion. While Asana is undoubtedly a good tool, I have some reservations about its design and interface. Notion, on the other hand, has a great design and interface. Asana is effective for task management, but I didn't connect with it as much, since I didn't use it extensively. My experience with Notion has been different and I quickly grasped its capabilities and enjoyed the learning process. It encourages a more technical approach with features like formulas and the ability to create customized databases, which I appreciate. It allows users to bring their ideas to life without being limited by pre-defined structures.

Has saved time and resources for us on a gigantic scale

We've eliminated a lot of salespeople cutting and pasting content into Word documents they had saved off. It took me about an hour of learning it to truly understand the approach Windward takes. It’s superior to anything else out there, but better means different. I was first trying to use it the way I used previous document automation systems, and that was awkward. Once I put aside the old way of designing templates and thought of it as more of a Word document that I was tagging, then everything became fast and easy. You’ll know you’re at that point when you can’t imagine reverting back to another program. Also, don’t assume that it’s so easy you can turn template design over to business users and walk away. You will need to train your users, mostly on understanding their data structure, but also on the concepts in Windward. And you need to remain a resource for when they need to do something complex.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility...The initial setup of Notion is easy."

"Notion is a great tool for note-keeping and note-sharing."

"Notion has a lot of integrations."

"The product has a valuable feature for databases. It has a table and a calendar view and saves various documents in the system."

"The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness."

"The initial setup is easy."

"It is easy to use and very intuitive compared to Microsoft Project."

More Notion pros

"Instead of having IT involved in generating documents, each user can create his/her own templates as needed. Individual teams can create templates for their group. This is a big savings, not just in cost but also a quicker turn-around."

"What we find most valuable would probably be the ability to connect to various data sources and utilize different data-source objects like store procedures and views. I also like the ability to build relationships between multiple data sources and populate documents automatically."

Cons

"The product could be integrated with external platforms."

"It can be difficult to contact the people at Notion."

"There are a lot of things, but one thing that is absolutely necessary is the mobile application."

"One area for improvement in the solution is the absence of integrated charts."

"Notion's UI could be better."

"There could be an automation feature included in the product."

"It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems."

"Notion's UI needs improvement."

More Notion cons

"Some of the administrative functions in the Hub could be better. The administrative function is the aspect of account management, invoicing management, billing management. It is not related to the tool itself but the ability to buy and manage the tool."

"The thing the product does not include is digital signing and so we have to continue to use DocuSign."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Notion offers a free plan that covers most functionalities. Clients are only prompted to upgrade if they require AI capabilities, priced at $10 for unlimited usage, or if they need to add team members, typically around $10 per member."

"The product's pricing depends on the usage plans."

"The solution's pricing can seem steep, especially when you work with a lot of people. If you are working on your own or for another business, the solution's price won't affect you much."

"It's pretty affordable."

"Notion is free to use."

"The pricing structure is quite reasonable, and the basic plan covers the most essential features."

"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. We only need to pay for it if we use it in the workspace."

"The product is affordable compared to other platforms."

More Notion pricing and cost advice

"I think it's very cost-competitive. However, I would like to see some additional licensing tiers for more enterprise-level organizations that have higher output limits, even if that cost a premium."
