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.

A complete and useful solution, but it should be easy to use, and they should provide fast support
Their support team should provide the answers fast because it impacts our daily operations. We use the app every day. We have about 70 projects managed in the app, but their responses are too slow. They can take three or four days to analyze a problem. We have a connection-related problem, which is impacting our daily operations, but we have had the same status for the last two months. It is not easy. The deployment of the application and its functionalities are not easy. It is a complex process to create accounts, names, and catalogs. There should be more operational reports. They have a set of internal reports, but they can't be customized. You don't have the permissions to configure your own reports, which is a very big issue. Currently, you have to ask for permission in order to configure simple filters. You have to ask a third party to configure it. It is expensive, and it also takes a lot of time.
