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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Notion is a great tool for note-keeping and note-sharing."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The ability to create and organize notes, plans, and technical content in a single platform is the product's most valuable feature."
"Customer support is great, effective, and easy to reach."
"Notion is an all-in-one product, allowing us to do many things in a single place."
"Notion is a very flexible and customizable platform, allowing users to create whatever they need."
"I like the high level of customization in Notion."
"The product has a valuable feature for databases. It has a table and a calendar view and saves various documents in the system."
"We can integrate Zoho Projects with Zoho CRM."
"We were able to track each department's work and what they were doing inside the actual department. Gantt charts are useful to track departmental progress and operation, or we are that item stuff."
"We use the tool for our core business project. If we have a new site coming up, there are many milestones that need to be checked. The solution helps to ensure consistency."
"The product is very easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Projects is all integrated into one. We don't have to start using multiple tools, such as Projects, CRM, Marketing, Automation, Finance, and setting up Meetings. It's all in one solution. I don't have to go to multiple different platforms to have all the features I need."
"Timesheets and the ability to add attachments are very valuable features to us."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It integrates so well with other Zoho applications, and that really helps to extend the features of Zoho Projects."
 

Cons

"The only problem I experience is that it often hangs."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"The main problem with Notion is that it's not flexible enough for all of the use cases we intend to address. For instance, it is challenging to focus on a single KPI as it's mandatory to have a chart for this purpose, complicating some of our use cases."
"User management needs improvement. It's difficult to determine what information is private. It's a bit complicated for me."
"Notion has one big downside: the lack of an offline mode. If the internet or Notion's servers are down, I cannot access information. This is a big disadvantage."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"It can be difficult to contact the people at Notion."
"It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems."
"The solution should improve on integration and customization."
"The adaptation process can be enhanced with training sessions and templates."
"Zoho Projects' time log addition part can be improved."
"Its template management feature could be easier to use."
"The only room for improvement over here is a feature related to the trend, like AI-related things that we can expect need to be introduced."
"The UI and UX must be improved."
"The basic reports could be improved in Zoho Projects."
"If given the opportunity, I would focus on improving automation within Zoho Projects. While attempting to integrate with other platforms, users often encounter errors. The integration capabilities of Zoho Projects could be enhanced. Currently, the integration options are categorized as either easy or customized, with the latter requiring deluge code, which might pose challenges due to its lesser-known usage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Notion is free to use."
"The product is affordable compared to other platforms."
"I pay around $100 per year."
"Notion offers a free plan that covers most functionalities. Clients are only prompted to upgrade if they require AI capabilities, priced at $10 for unlimited usage, or if they need to add team members, typically around $10 per member."
"The product has good pricing."
"It's pretty affordable."
"The product is fairly priced."
"Zoho Projects' costs are yearly and affordable."
"Zoho Projects is cost-effective."
"The solution is cheap."
"The solution is not very expensive."
