Creates customizable systems and improve team collaboration
Notion is a very flexible and customizable platform, allowing users to create whatever they need. The most impactful feature for project management is the ability to invite multiple client stakeholders without complication. Once I understand the basics, it's easy to use despite an initial learning curve. It also significantly improves team collaboration through customized views and visualizations of data.

A user-friendly document automation solution that seamlessly connects to various data sources
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 purchasing, the administration, the renewal processes could be better. Being able to have visibility into how much you use would be helpful because you buy an allotment of output. Let's say their tool allows you to output a thousand pages a month. Having visibility into how much of that you have used and how much is remaining can be improved. They have a very robust error-handling logic feature; not errors with their tool per se, but when you're building out templates, you can do conditional things that cause errors. They have a very good reporting feature for that, but they could improve that by showing some additional data points. Scalability could also be better. They could offer more tiers that are suitable for larger organizations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness."
"I rate Notion a ten out of ten."
"The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness."
"Notion is a very flexible and customizable platform, allowing users to create whatever they need."
"It is easy to use and very intuitive compared to Microsoft Project."
"We can install it on mobile phones, making it feasible to manage productivity."
"Notion has very strong integration capabilities."
"The ability to structure data is one of the most essential functions of Notion."
"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

"Notion has one big downside: the lack of an offline mode. If the internet or Notion's servers are down, I cannot access information. This is a big disadvantage."
"One area for improvement in the solution is the absence of integrated charts."
"There are a lot of things, but one thing that is absolutely necessary is the mobile application."
"It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems."
"It can be difficult to contact the people at Notion."
"The platform's documentation feature needs improvement."
"The product could be integrated with external platforms."
"The linked view of database, along with the sharing and permission settings, are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"The thing the product does not include is digital signing and so we have to continue to use DocuSign."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I pay around $100 per year."
"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."
"The product has good pricing."
"The product is affordable compared to other platforms."
"The product's pricing depends on the usage plans."
"The pricing structure is quite reasonable, and the basic plan covers the most essential features."
"The product has good pricing."
"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."
