Featured Reviews

Iván Fanego - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Sainath Racherla - PeerSpot reviewer
Project coordination has improved with excellent integration and support, though more comprehensive training and version control are needed
The adaptation process can be enhanced with training sessions and templates. There is potential for improvement in version control, particularly in integration with Zoho Docs. Providing small bite-sized instructional videos, like how to create a bug, and customizable help icons would be beneficial. Additionally, I should be able to cross-link bugs between projects.

"The timeline features are excellent."
 

Cons
