Notion Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Der größte Nutzen ist, dass man die Oberfläche und Struktur komplett selber aufbauen kann und somit an seine eigene Bedürfnisse anpassen kann. Durch die Funktion der "databases" und "relations" kann man Projekte und Aufgaben miteinander verknüpfen und perfekt visualisieren.

Nachteile

Das Dokumentenmanagement finde ich zu umständlich. Ich mag es, dass ich Dokumente an die unterschiedlichsten Projekte, Kunden, Aufgaben, etc anhängen kann. Aber bei Abruf der Datei erfolgt immer ein neuer Download aus der Cloud. Da ist eine genrelle Cloud Lösung übersichtlicher.

Vorteile

Modernes, übersichtliches und dennoch umfangreiches Projektmanagement- und Wissensdatenbank-Tool, Desktop-App für Mac verfügbar, attraktive Start-Up Förderung

Nachteile

Teilweise ungewohnt lange Seiten-Ladezeiten (zumindest in der Desktop App für Mac)

Confluence

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Notion

Notion bietet für Start-Ups attraktive Rabatte und ein super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis

Vorteile

Ich kann meine alle Projekten in verscheidenen Aufgaben verteilen und jede Aufgabe eine Frist zuweisen. Das hilft mir meine Aufgaben zu verfolgen.

Nachteile

Der einzige Nachteil den ich sehe ist dass wenn ich ein neues Projekt Template eratellen möchte, das bestehende Template wird auch geändert.

Vorteile

Die vielen Funktionen zum darstellen von Inhalt und das einfache Erstellen von Subdokumenten oder Datenbanken in einem existierenden Dokument. Das ganze ist zudem noch sehr benutzerfreundlich.

Nachteile

Task und Checklisten management ist ein wenig limitiert. Leider gibt es bisher auch keine Integrationen wie Grammarly etc.

Vorteile

Notion ist intuitiv zu bedienen, übersichtlich und bietet meiner Meinung nach viel bessere Optionen, als zum Beispiel ein Markdown Editor. Gerade die sortierbaren, filterbaren Datenbank-Blöcke (Tabellen, Boards, Kalender etc.) sind super hilfreich in der Organisation.

Nachteile

Am wenigsten gefällt mir, dass SSO nur in der Enterprise Version verfügbar ist. Auch kleinere Unternehmen, die sich nicht gleich das teure Enterprise Paket kaufen möchten, sollten die Möglichkeit haben SSO zu nutzen.

Confluence und ClickUp

Vorteile

Das es mir die Möglichkeit gibt, in einem Dokument mehrere Arten von Information festzuhalten. Neben einfachem Text integriere ich z. B. Miro Boards und Grid Diagramme in die Dokumente.

Nachteile

Die Funktion für Todo Listen sollte noch verbessert werden, da diese terade einfach mur bessere Excel Sheets mit Checkboxen sind.

Vorteile

Die frei wählbaren Headerbanner sind sehr schön und die Übersichtlichkeit zu jedem Zeitpunkt gegeben. Features mehr als ausreichend für private und berufliche Zwecke.

Nachteile

Nichts nennenswertes. Schade, dass ich die Software erst so spät entdeckt habe.

Vorteile

Egal ob man die Software zum To-DOs aufschreiben oder zum Notizen machen braucht, alles wird unterstützt.

Nachteile

Die App ist manchmal ein wenig zu komplex und man weiss nicht genau, was man wo machen muss.

Vorteile

When you become a pro in Notion every aspect is a pro. Notion works in different devices (computer, android, ios), it allows collaborative work, you can create view-only or editing links, it works great not only for personal organization, but also for work tasks. At work is good for project management, scheduling tasks, taking progress and tasks of each employee, etc. It also has good options to filter access to each file. This allows to share the same document with different access levels in a big organization.Although I didn't find it too easy at first for complex tasks, there are various tutorials and documentation on the internet, and Notion and users provide free templates for different use cases, which makes everything easy.

Nachteile

The main drawback I found is that is not as intuitive as many people think. The user interface is friendly and nice, but when you want to create complex tables with many columns and automatic actions, it gets complex without knowing how to use it. Is as spread-shits, as long as you want to do simple actions with the basic formulas, will be ok. However, when you want to implement complex structures and use advance functions It may get complicated if you don't know how to use it.Anyway, it is not too difficult to lean, and once you know how to use it, you can create wonderful documents and tables that will simplify many jobs and will help you keep organized.

Vorteile

One of the things I love most about Notion is its versatility. It is a one-stop shop for task management, scheduling, progress tracking, document storage, and workflow management, which makes my life so much easier.The most impactful features for me are task management and progress tracking. I can keep track of everything I need to do and see my progress in real time, which is incredibly helpful. I also appreciate the file sharing and collaboration features, which make it easy to work with others and share information.The notion is also very user-friendly and easy to use. I was able to start using it immediately without any problems, and the intuitive design makes it simple to find what I need. Integration with my existing business processes was also a breeze.Overall, I highly recommend Notion to anyone looking for a versatile and easy-to-use tool to help manage their tasks, projects, and workflows.

Nachteile

However, one thing that I feel could be improved is the mobile app. While the app is functional, it can be slow and clunky at times, which can be frustrating when I need to access information quickly.Another aspect that could be improved is the integration with other apps and services. Notion offers a lot of flexibility, but it's not always easy to connect it to other tools that I use regularly. I would like to see better integration with other services in the future.Finally, while Notion is a very easy tool to use, there are some things that I found challenging to learn at first, such as some of the more advanced features and customizations. However, once I got the hang of it, it was much easier to use.Overall, these are minor issues and do not detract from my overall positive experience with Notion. I still find it an incredibly useful tool for managing my tasks, projects, and workflows.

Slack

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Notion

First, it is really customizable and allows me to tailor my workspace to my specific needs. This is really helpful because my work and business are constantly evolving. Also, Notion is an all-in-one solution that combines task management, document storage, and project planning in a single platform. This saves me a lot of time and effort as I don't have to switch between different tools to manage my work. In addition, Notion has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to use. I don't have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to use it or learning new skills. Finally, the collaboration features in Notion are really useful for working with my team. I can easily share information and files with my team members, which is essential for effective teamwork.

Vorteile

It's very flexible, cross-device (although the mobile app is pretty bad), syncs well, and gets better over time, albeit very slowly.

Nachteile

In addition to the fact that the learning curve is very high, it is quite frustrating that your data is not saved on your computer, as other tools, such as Obsidian, do.

Vorteile

This software is a combination of Evernote, Excel, and PowerPoint. While I believe the team initially developed the software as a sophisticated workflow management tool, it has evolved into so much more, it is nothing short of a CRM tool that can be used in any business in any industry. The robust nature of it's features and the ease at which you can mould your workspace to suit your needs or business is beyond anything any other software has been able to develop.

Nachteile

There isn't necessarily an effective forum set-up for the Notion team to interact with its super users to gain feedback from them on what works and what doesn't, what future features could be extremely beneficial and understand how the software is used differently depending on the industry.

Warum Notion gewählt wurde

We need a platform that could combine the functionality of all the different platforms we were using inefficiently into one platform and somehow work better than each of them individually.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Notion

They have a very supportive pricing structure for start-ups

Vorteile

While the developing company is new; it created this application and added all the great features in it.

May face an issue with customer support at times.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Notion

Notion has more features, the subscriptions starts from free to a low fee therefore it was selected.

Vorteile

Notion is an incredibly versatile platform that allows users to create and customize documents, task lists, project management boards, and databases. It has an intuitive interface that makes it easy to use, and the comprehensive feature set makes it easy to organize and store information quickly and efficiently.

Nachteile

While Notion is a great tool for creating and organizing documents and projects, it can be difficult to learn at first. The platform also lacks integration with some popular applications, making it difficult to sync data across different services.

Vorteile

I find notion one of the best note taking apps out there. It's huge set of functions it's hidden under simplicity. It has a smooth learning curve where you can start using it without having pro skills. After some time you'll find yourself knowing all the shortcuts to make beautifully crafted notes with ease. Visually speaking it has no distractions without making it boring.

Nachteile

I find it unusable when it comes to managing a team. There is no simple way to assign people inside a team to a project.

Vorteile

I use Notion for knowledge management. The formatting options are great, and the database views are powerful allowing info to be displayed in different formats in different areas. Being able to share articles with a public url makes it super easy to include people from outside the org when needed.

Nachteile

Sometimes the database views can be a little confusing, and it can occasionally be slow to search.

Vorteile

I like how simple and convenient it is to take notes as well as create to-do lists with Notion. The software is consistent with its minimal aesthetic user interface across all devices, which I like very much.

Nachteile

The software showing one’s recently opened content as a big box at the top when you reopen the application. It shows everyone what you’ve been working on as soon as you re-launch the software.

Vorteile

This tool is really great, a real all-rounder in task management and organization. With its various features, it becomes an essential assistant to help me in my daily life. I love the fact that it is easy to use and very customizable. Its features such as calendar, note-taking, database, and wiki creation. For me who have organizational problems, it helps me to follow my action plan and my schedule. Notion is a tool that is very useful for professionals, but also for the whole family, including students. I recommend it for those who are looking for a tool to organize their work and professional life

Nachteile

- Not easy to use for beginners- Some features are a bit expensive, such as the purchase of customization

Vorteile

The ability to ideate in the moment and document my thoughts and ideas in real-time through typing and dictation is amazing and being able to link to other pages and podcasts and videos as well as upload images and access an image library, just to mention a small number of the amazing features of this app that I use on a daily basis

Nachteile

At this point I don't have the ability to search words in my uploaded handwritten paper notes

More features and functionality

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

I liked the fact that we were able to create a fantastic GTD system (getting things done) that helps us keep track of our active projects, review tasks and collect all ideas and insights that get later categorized

Nachteile

their task management UI is less intuitive to use than notion, which makes us upset because it's the main reason we use notion, especially on mobile

Vorteile

You can organize your entire life using Notion, your work, study and home life can all be taken care of within Notion. You can replace so many other tools with this one tool that runs on your computer or phone. There is heaps of templates to get you started such as calendars, to do lists, meeting notes, saved websites and much more.

Nachteile

There could be a bit more of a similar way to bookmark webpages like evernote but this functionality is developing.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Notion

Because it has so many options and templates. I like the layout. I still use some of the other tools but I don't really need to when I have notion.

Vorteile

I have used Notion for personal projects since it first came out. Recently I have started migrating my work documentation and databases to Notion, and I'm very impressed. The ease of setting up relational databases within notes is unmatched in any other software I've used.

Nachteile

There are some small features that Notion does not yet excel at. Currently there is no way to view a calendar view of a database in any view other than month view, which is a small complaint. I know the Notion team is working on improving offline functionality as well, as it is pretty reliant on a steady Internet connection, which hasn't been a problem for me personally.

Vorteile

1) Create nested pages, tables, etc - you can go as deep as you want
2) It has a VERY good and easy to use mobile app
3) It has replaced my google drive (not sheets - yet), Evernote, todoist, local notes, anything random that used to go anywhere else
4) I was even able to create a lot of linked database that works well
5) I started just for personal but enjoyed dumping all my brain thoughts here, it made it very good to capture more thoughts around business too; then moved the company docs and wikis; then right now moving the tasks for the team

and Dark mode, lol - and good pricing with unlimited storage

Nachteile

1) Increasing the speed of opening pages on mobile and desktop apps
2) i would love to see an offline version too
3) Sometimes the sync is slow - if i have made the change in mobile; it wont reflect instantly in the desktop app. It takes a minute or two, or sometimes reloading the page

Vorteile

Notion is a great tool to use because you can do a variety of things on the tool. Project & task management, note-taking, building knowledge deposits, I even built my own resume page about myself in Notion!

It is a functional and flexible platform that also allows the administration of databases and these can be connected to each other and also provides great value as the ability to connect information between different departments or pages helps our employees find information easily.

Nachteile

The mobile apps aren't 100% amazing, there are some features that I think should be more included with the free version and the price is a little high.
