Notion efficiently scales from small teams to large organizations, offering flexibility and adaptability but may have rising costs.
I have migrated approximately 500 people to the system, and it can certainly support more users beyond this number.
Technology Specialist at Cognizant
For us, it was an issue when we signed up with around 300 seats, and a year later, we needed to downsize, which was somewhat challenging to adjust in the contract.
Information Technology System Engineer at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
NICE CXone's scalability for my organization works out very well, as we are a help desk environment with a lot of agents that use our phone system and telephony systems.
Director IT Operations at STAR'S EDGE, INC
It works really well because it can be used across different departments and different teams with everyone having their own dedicated page and subpages within that.

Notion's scalability is 10 out of 10.

Room For Improvement

NICE CXone faces challenges with integration, performance, interface refinement, AI capabilities, and customer service efficiency, impacting user satisfaction.
Notion can improve offline reliability, pricing, user interface, integrations, performance, search, mobile optimization, and collaboration features.
I need to log into different portals for NICE CXone, whereas my other competitor platforms offer single sign-on where I can log in once and access all partner-led programs and learning materials in one location.
Cx Product Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
We wanted to integrate with our internal system for instant translations, and we were not able to do that, along with a couple of other things that illustrate that it is kind of an isolated system to itself, making it pretty hard to tap into and grow even further.
Program Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools, leading to potentially higher out-of-pocket expenses.
Operations Manager at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Notion has one big downside: the lack of an offline mode.
Founder at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
I know from my friend that when the database becomes large, it becomes very slow and laggy.
Automation Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
I really think that the transcription of the conversation is very important because when you're going to ask a question with AI, you need that more than the resume.
Project Manager, AI, Digital & Innovation at a marketing services firm with 11-50 employees
 

Setup Cost

NICE CXone requires careful evaluation due to contract licensing fees, fragmented pricing, and potential complexities in data migration for enterprises.
Companies praise Notion's free tier but face rising costs with premium features, challenging larger organizations and user-specific upgrades.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for NICE CXone is that for the money, it was very nickel-and-diming.
Director workforce management at a wellness & fitness company with 5,001-10,000 employees
However, inviting additional users can become costly.
Founder at AppCritic
Generally, it is not cheap.
Head of Product at a educational organization with 201-500 employees
From what I've seen so far, the pricing looks fair for teams or more advanced features.
AI Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
 

Valuable Features

NICE CXone boosts efficiency with seamless integration, user-friendly tools, real-time dashboards, and cost-effective call center management solutions.
Notion excels in collaboration, flexibility, and integration, with customizable templates and real-time features enhancing productivity and organization.
The switch from using Avaya, which required connecting to a hard or soft phone, to using WebRTC via a web browser has significantly improved customer service efficiency.
Technology Specialist at Cognizant
I find workforce management to be the most valuable in my day-to-day work because it allows us to schedule the agents and put them in the right place at the right time so that they are able to answer calls accordingly and our customers are not waiting for someone to speak to.
Senior Enterprise Solution Consultant at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
When we used Calabrio, we were not maintaining 100% uptime. Some months, it was approximately 97-98%. With NICE CXone, we had very few total outages with regards to the interaction feature, which is the call recording side of things.
Data Centre Operations Engineer at a media company with 1-10 employees
The most impactful feature for project management is the ability to invite multiple client stakeholders without complication.
Founder at AppCritic
Notion has very strong integration capabilities.
Founder at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
Overall, it adds significant value to our project management by organizing our work efficiently.

Featured Reviews

Program Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Crowdsourced knowledge has grown into a trusted customer hub and now supports richer adoption journeys
One inconvenience is that because we are crowdsourced, we have hundreds of contributors every year, with most people only submitting one article, maybe two, so it does not make sense to pay for licenses for all of those people. This leads to some intermediary manual copy-paste processes because we just cannot have everybody working in the system itself, making it a little bit problematic for maintaining a source of truth. The main issues with NICE CXone are the lack of ability to integrate with some internal things that we want to do; it has to do with the way the system is designed, which is complex. We wanted to integrate with our internal system for instant translations, and we were not able to do that, along with a couple of other things that illustrate that it is kind of an isolated system to itself, making it pretty hard to tap into and grow even further. There are a couple of little issues with reporting that have not been very good, but really, the system is very functional.
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.
