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.

Do not be afraid to migrate to cloud solutions

I started using Daptiv PPM at SAP R/3, 22 module implementation, with over 80 functional team members, in different geographic locations. It definitely gave us the opportunity to centralize all schedules per module and assemble work teams for each subproject, binding them with co-dependent tasks in other modules. This type of tool allowed us to finish the back office stage just a week behind the original baseline, a real record for SAP R/3 implementation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Notion is an all-in-one product, allowing us to do many things in a single place."

"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."

"The ability to create and organize notes, plans, and technical content in a single platform is the product's most valuable feature."

"Notion has a lot of integrations."

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

"I like the high level of customization in Notion."

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

More Notion pros

"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."

"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."

"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."

"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."

"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."

Cons

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

"If the internet or Notion's servers are down, I cannot access information. This is a big disadvantage."

"Notion's UI could be better."

"User management needs improvement."

"Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content"

"User management needs improvement. It's difficult to determine what information is private. It's a bit complicated for me."

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

"Notion's UI needs improvement."

More Notion cons

"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."

"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."

"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions."

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."

"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has good pricing."

"It's pretty affordable."

"Notion is free to use."

"The product has good pricing."

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

"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."

More Notion pricing and cost advice

"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."

"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
