What's great
Notion brings everything into one place — notes, tasks, databases, and team collaboration. It’s highly flexible, clean, and powerful once you set it up, making it great for both personal and team productivity.
What needs improvement
The learning curve can be steep for new users, and performance can feel slow with large pages or databases. Better offline support would also be helpful.
vs Alternatives
I considered tools like Evernote, Trello, and Confluence, but they felt more limited or fragmented compared to Notion.
How well does Notion replace separate notes and tasks apps?
Notion can successfully replace separate notes and task apps by combining them in one system. Once adopted, it reduces context switching and keeps everything organized in a single workspace.
Are permissions and access controls easy to manage?
Yes, permissions and access controls are generally easy to manage, especially for small to mid-sized teams. Page-level sharing is clear, though advanced setups can take some time to learn.
Does Notion replace your calendar, or just complement it?
Notion complements my main calendar rather than fully replacing it. It’s great for planning and tracking work, but I still rely on a dedicated calendar app for scheduling.
