Although I have the free plan, I use it every day for work-related issues, but also personal, like trips, and personal finances. > > **Cons**: Now they are being a little bit too pushy to subscribe to their paid plan, but it's normal. Nothing much more to add here. > > Notion has given me the flexibility I was looking for in my projects. I have everything I need in one place. As a digital marketer, it's very useful for team collaboration or project collaboration; you can personalize every dashboard for every client. Use it as a time tracker, Kanban task tracker, Feedback, content planning, etc.. ----- ### "My ultra-customizable second brain to organize everything" — 5.0/5 > **Sean** | *11 June 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Notion has become my daily companion for centralizing my thoughts, notes, and team wikis. What I love above all else is its infinite flexibility. The interface starts with a blank page, and thanks to the block system, I can design the exact workspace I need: tracking tables, interconnected databases, task lists, or meeting minutes. The design is clean, modern, and very visually appealing. The ability to link pages together allows me to build a true knowledge network across my projects. > > **Cons**: This total freedom is also its greatest flaw. At first, I felt completely overwhelmed standing in front of that blank page. Without a precise idea of what you want to build, you can spend hours setting up complex templates instead of actually working. Additionally, I find that pure task management features remain a bit lightweight: reminders and notifications are not as sharp or intuitive as those found in dedicated applications. Finally, the mobile app tends to be a bit slow to load when pages contain a lot of data. > > A sense of regained mental clarity. By taking all my notes and project tracking out of my head and structuring them in Notion, I considerably reduce my mental load and always know exactly where to look for the information I need. ----- ### "Notion, the big leader is in fact clearly deceiving." — 3.0/5 > **Kerdjou** | *14 March 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: what I liked the most about notion Is the easy an intuitive use. Indeed first using notion is not that hard at all, everything is clear, and there is even an automatic tutoriel that is generated by Notion when you arrived in the interface this follow a questionary made by notion in order to highlight your uses. After this questionnaire Notion auto generate a pre build space that matches your need. Clearly my favorite part of notion is definitely the easiness of use even for beginners. > > **Cons**: As a matter of fact what I disliked the most is the non-custom part of Notion, that's actually why I migrated to Obsidian. Notion feels like every users on earth have the exact same interface. That may be not important. But regarding as notes taking I consider custom ways of note taking being primordial. > > I have explored various ways to use Notion, creating databases to visualize important data and formatting notes to enhance clarity and readability. When it comes to note-taking itself, Notion is quite effective. However, the AI features leave much to be desired. Notion's AI is significantly less capable than ChatGPT, with unconvincing functionalities. The AI is slow, and when used on pages with extensive data, it experiences severe latency, often freezing for several minutes. Overall, Notion is an average note-taking tool that falls far short of my expectations. Due to my unsatisfactory experience, I have recently decided to switch to Obsidian, which I find much better suited for fully custom complex and useful note-taking. ----- ### "A great tool for small or solo management, until you scale to enterprise" — 4.0/5 > **Connor** | *02 April 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Notion provides an easy place for notes and task tracking. It is ideal for project management and allows for a variety of views and filters, such as bullet points, kantan board, etc. As expected from task management solutions it allows for different status' flags that can be customised (Completed, pending, cancelled, etc) as well as creation of different 'buckets' that can be set according to whatever logic is fit for your purpose. (For example, you could have 3 projects 'buckets' and split tasks according to their ownership). It also allows for nested tasks withing tasks; this could include prerequisites or parallel functions that must be completed before an entire entry is marked complete. It boasts a fresh and modern interface with modular interactivity -i.e dragging and dropping tasks between sections or rearranging is smooth and snaps/rearranges the order nicely, whereas some alternative softwares might lack a refined or polished finish as such. > > **Cons**: Notion works great as a higher level PM tool but lacks a lot of the functionality or features that you might find in a dedicated enterprise project management solution. As content grows in this respect, it can cause some dips in performance, sometimes resulting in the usually smooth graphics lagging a bit and feels a bit jarring. As teams expand it can also become a bit more difficult managing permissions and sharing. > > A powerful tool to use that excels when working at higher levels or individually. As it is expanded to larger teams and/or enterprise however it might be worth exploring dedicated solutions - but in this regard Notion absolutely stands great in it's own corner. ----- ### "Great all in one tool" — 5.0/5 > **Alex** | *17 June 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We started using Notion about a year ago to manage our client accounts and internal docs. For a small team, it's been really helpful to have everything in one place instead of jumping between Google Docs, Trello, and spreadsheets. The flexibility is honestly the best part. I built a simple CRM-style database to track all my client accounts, linked it to meeting notes, and set up templates for weekly reports all without asking IT or paying for another tool. The fact that my whole team can collaborate on the same page in real time saves us a lot of back-and-forth emails. Also, the templates gallery gave us a solid starting point instead of building everything from scratch. > > **Cons**: The learning curve is real. When I first opened Notion, I had no idea where to start. It gives you a blank canvas, which sounds great in theory, but it can be overwhelming when you just want to get things done quickly. I also find it a bit slow sometimes, especially when a page has a lot of embedded databases. And honestly, the mobile app could be better. I mostly avoid using it on my phone because navigation feels clunky compared to desktop. ----- Page: 1 / 112\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/132111/notion?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/132111/notion) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
