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.

The system is old, so there are several issues that arise when we fetch data from integrated systems. Sometimes the data gets stuck, and there are instances where we need to access multiple pieces of information simultaneously. This creates problems that I have personally experienced. Therefore, these aspects need to be much more free-flowing and seamless. If something gets stuck, it takes time to resolve, and during the contract phase, we have Service Level Agreements (SLAs). If those SLAs are breached, it becomes problematic. Given that there are approximately 3000 projects running concurrently worldwide, utilizing the system with a vast database and numerous activities taking place. It could benefit from decentralization. Currently, it operates as a central system, but if it could be centralized for specific subsidiaries, it would be easier for us to manage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to use and has good responsiveness."
"The product has a valuable feature for databases. It has a table and a calendar view and saves various documents in the system."
"Notion has dramatically increased my organization because in the past, all the information that I had was organized in a scattered environment across Google Drive or ChatGPT conversations, and now that it's all in one place and using a logical structure such as projects and notes and tasks and databases, everything is in one place, which is massively important to my productivity."
"Notion is a great product, but I know it is very pricey."
"By using Notion, I would say you could probably save at least 10% of your engineering time just because you are able to write documentation which is easy to read and easy to share with other team members."
"Notion has helped my team members track projects in a much better way."
"The workflow I created with Notion definitely saved us time so that we could synthesize what we were working on and visualize it versus having a simple checklist or having to track something through chats or emails."
"Notion has impacted my organization positively by allowing us to do things faster without communication gaps related to knowledge and tribal knowledge."
"It improves productivity, cash flow management, and inventory control for clients."
"The stability is good, and I have nothing bad to say about it."
"SAP is gradually introducing more flexibility and customization options to the system, allowing users to adapt it to their specific needs."
"The integration portion with SAP models is valuable."
"With SAP Portfolio and Project Management we were able to have a full track of project progress and get useful insights about our projects."
"The SAP PPM software is a very complete solution."
 

Cons

"Customer support for Notion is mediocre at best."
"Notion could offer more independence in customization or have pre-built templates and more templates that help others."
"Notion's UI could be better."
"If the internet or Notion's servers are down, I cannot access information. This is a big disadvantage."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is quite pricey."
"Notion can be improved by making the user interface more interactive, as it seems rather basic."
"User management needs improvement. It's difficult to determine what information is private. It's a bit complicated for me."
"It would be valuable if SAP integrated seamlessly with some products like Jira and Bitbucket."
"The system is old, so there are several issues that arise when we fetch data from integrated systems. Sometimes the data gets stuck, and there are instances where we need to access multiple pieces of information simultaneously."
"It would be valuable if SAP integrated seamlessly with some products like Jira and Bitbucket."
"The product itself could have an advanced analytics layer with an improved user interface that is adapted to the new digital era."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's pretty affordable."

"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 product is affordable compared to other platforms."

"The product pricing varies based on whether the client is new or existing and the complexity of their business processes."
