PG
Sr. Project Manager at Stradley Ronon
Good for reporting, but a little rigorous in its methodology and not conducive to real project management
It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case. It also relies heavily on resources entering their time into the system, that is, how much time they worked on each of the tasks so that it can sort of consistently update the project. I know that in a lot of organizations, including ours, it is almost impossible to get them to track the time. In terms of additional features, they can include more integration with Microsoft because integration is going to be a key functionality.
Rusira Sathnindu - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation Engineer at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
Minimal workspace has organized policies and student records and improves team collaboration
One of the main frustrations I have is the pricing of Notion. It is really pricey; we even used to call it pretty pricey for an expensive notepad. Notion has a per-user pricing model, but I think if it was per-organization pricing with a flat rate for the whole organization regardless of how many new people join, that would be really awesome. But with their current pricing models, especially for a growing organization when scaling from ten to one hundred employees, it is going to cost a lot of money. It is ten dollars as I remember, but that is a lot because you have to pay it per person. Another issue is that sometimes their markdown editor has a great many features, but sometimes the markdown editor breaks. When I copy something from ChatGPT and paste it there, sometimes the content gets messy. Only sometimes, but when it gets messy, it is really hard to fix things up. I might have to delete the entire thing and do everything by hand. So there are some bugs related to the markdown editor, but that is not always the case. The main pain point I would say is the pricing model. I do not have more needed improvements to add regarding integrations, performance, or mobile experience. Those areas are good in my mind. I have not actually used the mobile app a lot, but from other sides that is all good. The main two needed improvements I would suggest are a better pricing model and fixes for some bugs in the markdown editor.

Quotes from Members

"I can keep everything organized in Notion, making it easy to write features and ideas clearly, explain the problem, track my work, decide what matters, prioritize everything, and store knowledge including notes and previous decisions."
"Notion is a very good app that keeps my work and data safe."
"I believe that whatever kind of product you want to build or whatever company you're running, there's a solution within Notion, and I appreciate the additional plugins that can be used to run those specific projects."

"The only problem I experience is that it often hangs."
"User management needs improvement."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is fine, but it is quite annoying that any upgrades on Notion need to happen with all team members."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is quite pricey."
"Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content"
"Notion can be improved by making the user interface more interactive, as it seems rather basic."
