Customer Reviews "To-Do Lists and Brainstorming Hub" What do you like best about Notion? I like the status buttons and that they are color-coded so it pops out more. I like that this platform feels like one long-running but organized to-do list. You can have one central project and create different headers, bulleted lists, checklists, and status updates all under one roof. This is like everything I scribble down on a notepad but in a very streamlined and organized way. What do you dislike about Notion? Some of the templates could be a little more in-depth and have some more descriptions and niche uses. What problems is Notion solving and how is that beneting you? Notion is helping individuals and teams solve project management issues. Especially in Marketing or other creative industries, there are so many steps involved in each aspect, task, and sub-task of a project. It is easy to lose parts in the process. With this system, you can create projects for yourself to stay on top of your own projects and deadlines, and you can also assign projects to others so everyone has access to the same document/project.

"My go-to software for organizing my freelance and personal projects" What do you like best about Notion? Notion is a software that can be just about anything you need it to be. It gives you the canvas and tools to build whatever pages, databases, wikis, or boards you need to organize your life or business. And if you're not a do-it-yourselfer, there are hundreds of pre-built templates from fellow Notion users. If you're looking for a dedicated CRM, project management, or goal tracker tool, you'll nd other dedicated products with more robust features, but if you want to consolidate all of these services and more into a single, affordable, software, you won't nd anything better than Notion. I use Notion daily for everything from household nances and home projects to client and project tracking for my freelance business. What do you dislike about Notion? Notion's feature set currently lacks in a few areas: (although each of these are listed as upcoming features by the Notion team) Workow automation options are limited, with only a few triggers/actions to choose from. The public API is nice, and there are a lot of out-of-the-box integrations offered, but Webhooks and more automation options would go a long way. Ÿ Database permissions are limited in that it's impossible to grant different users/groups permissions to different subsets of the data in a database. This is especially frustrating if you want a common database driving task/project management across your entire organization but don't want all tasks visible to everyone. Ÿ Database templates that are built or updated after some of the database is populated can not be automatically applied to all existing database entries. This makes for a tedious process if you want all entries in the database to have a common look/feel. Ÿ What problems is Notion solving and how is that beneting you? I use Notion to manage my novel writing, household nances, home projects, freelance business, and as a host for my webpage. I've never encountered software with this level of exibility before. www.theenterpriseworld.com | 41
