Notion 2.0 - The all-in-one workspace - notes, tasks, wikis, & databases

I've been using 2.0 for about a month, and it is life changing. We've ported all our 15 person startup's info Notion. Also, their feature development velocity is amazing.

Pros:

Documents within tables within documents within tables, sidebar keeps things organized, the closest thing to a single tool for work

Cons:

Commenting is weak, email notifications are not optimized, some awkward UI

When WSJ recommended Notion as the 'productivity app to rule them all,' I was skeptical especially since I believed Trello was the only one worthy of the title. Interestingly, Notion won me over the first hour I used it.

Why? First, it solved my most enduring pain point with Trello wherein notes weren't native in the UI. There are integrations for Google docs and Evernote, but this involves exiting Trello and opening the notes app externally. It's a lot of unnecessary back and forth. Not only is Notion's notes feature native to the app, but it also has a lot of robust formatting from tables and kanban boards.

Here are my suggestions for the product:

1. Add integrations to services such as DropBox, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Draw.io, Github, JIRA, IFTTT, Bitbucket. Not all at once, but prioritize the most used services by your users. This ensures that Notion provides a seamless experience throughout a user's ecosystem of apps.

2. Tailor a paid pricing model geared towards individual users. Most of the benefits attached to a paid tier are more appealing to teams. I know a lot of people who use productivity apps for their own personal tasks or side hustles. The only reason I would use the paid version right now is when I hit my block limit. It wouldn't hurt to add more reasons (ex. time tracking, exporting, historical revisions).

3. Collaborative live editing with team members.

Overall, I love the product for its current feature set and potential. I hope they continue to grow!

Pros:

Great note taking and task management app in one

Flexibility in formatting - Kanban and tables

Clean UX

Cons:

Still missing key integrations like Google Calendar

Tables need more functionality

Very good. A remarkable product. For me pricing is just too much. Maybe consider more generous and resettable free plan?

As Director of Growth at Zivix - I see my role as continually improving the digital workspace we utilize, and I haven't felt the potential of a product this strongly since we implemented Slack almost 2 years ago. Notion's ability to bring together the functionality of a number of adequate, but sparsely used applications is what draws me in very closely. I look forward to it's continued adoption & improvement as the potential is certainly there to implement this across the team full-scale, and fast.

Pros:

I finally feel like I have a home for important company info, status updates & project management, in just the first 12 hours of creating.

Cons:

Some lack of integrations

Lacks document locking

Could use more templates, drag and drop is legit but not easy to learn.

Found myself suddenly signing up for multiple services because I'm becoming more and more interested in good UX. It was getting too hard to maintain and remember. I'm also an avid bullet journaler and I like the idea of having ALL my notes and todos in one place - makes for easy scheduling and brainstorming, but bullet journaling was getting extremely tedious to keep up with. Notion was too good to be true, and I've been amazingly surprised by how many features I was like... I wonder if this will work because I've sen this movemet work on other things or like "lets try and see if this exists" and it DOES. Obsessed w productivity tools... this truly is the ultimate. Life was starting to become disorganized mess of organization tools. Now I don't need anything but Notion, Email, and Slack to do everything I need to do, esp cross devices.

Pros:

super easy usability, all types of features I would nee dand expect from a productivity tool

Cons:

wish there was a wider/smaller font note taking view like evernote (makes it easier to take LOTS of notes like for classes), internal links

This is a really deep product that does so many unique and interesting things. I've been able to build an entire workflow inside Notion that would have taken five or six apps working in tandem before. For a long time now, there have been lots of iterations on the same way of doing these things—Dropbox clones, Google Docs clones, etc. etc.—but not a re-thinking of what those things could or chould be. Notion's approach is a breath of fresh air. It also offers sort of a "DIY" approach, giving users the tools to do a huge variety of things without being prescriptive (but while offering lots of templates for common use cases). My description probably isn't really doing Notion justice. It's best just to try it. I used it for all of three hours before paying money for it; it's that good.

Pros:

A thorough re-thinking of document creation & sharing.

Cons:

Small UX tweaks here and there, a few small usability quibbles, more too small to even mention

This is exactly what Microsoft OneNote should be. So versatile, really helps to be organized. This version is even more powerful. I love it, congrats to the team!

Pros:

A super cool do-it-all suit

Cons:

The free tier could be more generous; no Android app yet.

Currently the best simple thought-structuring tool around - now gets better with tables and deeper functionality for more-than-simple work.

Pros:

free-form, beautiful, mobile, interconnected

Cons:

None

Great app. But if you drag a file into a document, it gets uploaded and made available on the Interwebs to anyone crafty enough to sniff out the link.

Pros:

Great All In One App

Cons:

Huge Security Flaw: All File Uploads Are Hosted Over Public CDN

Wonderful app, might not need Evernote and Airtable anymore in the future! We'll see! The one thing i do miss (along some of the other request already stated here) is a drag&drop functionality for all of the upload functions throughout the app.
