The best and worst of Notion

Overall it's a great app, I just wish it would be faster and also easier to navigate.

PROS

Notion is an extremely flexible software. Thanks to their databases and multiple views like calendar, Kanban, tables and lists. I found it to be extremely intuitive and fun to use. I can definitely see how it could replace a google docs and be a central place for your team.

CONS

So the big elephant in the room... Notion can be slow at times, especially when using it on my phone. I would spend a lot of effort just trying to switch between pages. When I would type in it I felt that my text was not in real time. Also on Mobile sometimes I couldn't highlight text due to a bug on their side. This goes against the productivity it is trying to create. Also the way it works with folders, it very quickly becomes far too many different places and I would need to think about where I need to put the specific note I'm working on, vs actually just writing the note. I think that it would be far better if notion stopped relying so much on folders and rather just made their search and internal linking more streamlined.

Reasons for switching to Notion

Notion allowed me to keep track of all the different file types that I had in one place. It also wasn't limited to just bullets.

Notion just keeps getting better

Microsoft is trying to copy Notion via Loop, but I am a fierce loyalist and will not give up Notion for any competitor.

PROS

Notion product development is top notch. New highly usable features keep getting rolled out.

CONS

Although there’s a Notero work-around, I’d still like a Zotero seamless integration, please. Also, although embedded PDFs are very satisfactory, it will be amazing if users can annotate PDFs within Notion.

Reasons for switching to Notion

I spend more time troubleshooting Microsoft apps more than productively using the platform. I’m so glad that with Notion, despite the initial setup time, it is so robust that you don’t ever have to worry about losing functionality or data. Yes, sadly with Microsoft I have lost countless versions of documents because OneDrive just simply goes kaput unexpectedly. Those were truly depressing times. Thank goodness there’s Notion!

A more doesn't mean always a better

Like many others: I am a migrant-from-evernote-to-notion user. So I really feel a difference. Evernote become with time a boring routine. You ended up konwing all what the software capacities without a horizon you can looking for. Evernote blog is a good resource but it is not enough for me. The comparison with Evernote is critical for me. So I can tell you that Notion provide you all what Evernote offer plus a not-so-boring journey during using the product.

PROS

Without doubt its ubiquity (they claim you can organise anything within it) is incredible.

CONS

User experience is not that good. It is not comfort for the eyes. Too many options. Too many features. Need time to learn and use and you ended up reexplain that too many time to your team OR you must buy Khe course about that product. And it's something you should really consider into your calculation of what that software cost.

Reason for choosing Notion

Notion is the newer product in this niche so its team study well their competitors and make something avoid the weaknesses of the old products.

Daily Use - Extremely Great For Documentation/Knowledge Base

It is a great product. We use it daily and it's our go-to tool for everyday use of reference or information storage.

PROS

Being able to centrally store, categorize, navigate, search and share knowledge base. It is extremely important to store documentation for both internal use and the client in my current working model.

CONS

The app is getting heavier and slower. What I like least about the product is that it is slows down considerably as more and more data or information are stored within. This is the main reason why I only store/share files with embedded links to my other cloud storage. This because even with just text, the user experience due to slowness is sometimes quite frustrating.

Reason for choosing Notion

The many functionalities available on Notion compared to OneNote.

Reasons for switching to Notion

Lost of data on Evernote and was not able to bring them back. This was a long time ago, and I never turn back. As for MS OneNote, I still like it but Notion simply has a lot more user friendly functionality. But if Notion continue to be slow, I might just switch back to MS Note.
