I highly recommend taking the time to familiarize yourself with Notion’s interface and features. While it might take some getting used to, especially if you are accustomed to other tools like Google Docs, the investment in learning will pay off in terms of productivity and organization. I rate it a nine.

Before choosing a solution, I recommend outlining every database you want to build without delving too deeply into the technical aspects. Consider your needs from a high-level perspective, such as client communication, client portals, efficient file management beyond Google Drive, and financial management. Create a table and list tools, then personally evaluate each one based on your specific requirements. This personalized comparison will help you identify the solution that best meets your needs. Overall, I rate Notion a nine out of ten.
To me it's an almost perfect product. 9 out of 10. It's accessible, cheap for small (personal) usage (free plan or educational plus plan). You can even invite guests who can contribute, without them needing a full subscription. I like that Notion allows a direct editing and publication flow (edits are "live" and you have control over what you publish). The combination of wiki-style text with embeds and structured tabular databases makes for a powerful environment. It is a very accessible relational database, where you can grow your databases rather than having to invent their whole structure in advance. It makes for a lower threshold but potentially also badly structured databases, if you are just fiddling around. The biggest competitor to me is Coda and possibly Airtable, although that doesn't have the same "document" approach as the other two.

For companies considering adopting Notion as their organizational tool, I would recommend taking the time to thoroughly evaluate it, alongside other options like Asana. Different companies have varying levels of patience when it comes to learning and implementing new features, and Notion's extensive capabilities might make some hesitant. It requires an investment of time and effort because it offers a high degree of technical flexibility, akin to coding in some aspects. Therefore, if your organization is looking for a quick and simple solution to manage databases and CRMs, you might want to explore other product management platforms. If your company is willing to invest the time and effort into learning and implementing Notion effectively, it can greatly enhance productivity as it allows you to create a customized and user-friendly interface, tailored to your specific needs. I would rate it seven out of ten.
I rate Notion a ten out of ten. It may seem complicated to use initially. I advise others to take some time to understand and give it a chance. It works well, and eventually, they will see the best of it.
Notion shared an update for the database, which allows you to share your database the same way you can do it on monday.com, making it one of the fantastic additions. I would tell those planning to use the solution that they need not get scared or overwhelmed with what they see online since everybody started with the solution somewhere. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
