Considered Both Products
eXo Platform
Chose eXo Platform
We chose it for the Java-based open-source platform and customization options.
Chose eXo Platform
EXo platform offers a large number of ready-to-use functions, which determined your selection. Also, that it has a user interface is well designed. It is easy to know what tasks are available in each section. Learn the system and have the best customer service.
Chose eXo Platform
We selected this product firstly because it's easy to use for end-users, even if it's not so simple to configure from an administrative point of view. Managing and tracking overall activities is quite easy and it's also possible to have an immediate vision of everything that is …
Chose eXo Platform
Economical, extensible, and ease in deployability.
Chose eXo Platform
I previously used eXo platform and now i am using Hybris. But now I want to use eXo again because of its advantages.
Chose eXo Platform
eXo platform combines a number of features such as document management, wiki, internal social networks, messaging, calendaring as well as portal functionality. It is undoubtedly a feature-packed platform of the order of e.g. Sharepoint.
Chose eXo Platform
The interface, although quite complicated, is still better than the lead competitors. It's indeed a kind of software that requires that many features and we are yet to find a company that will make it incredibly ease to use.
Chose eXo Platform
eXo Platform is a very good application, and I'm sure this application can be a "white horse" for the platforms that I have written about above. This platform has a competitive price and a multi platform environment. This platform is very easy to install, suitable for a new …
Chose eXo Platform
we can built modules and apply them over your portal. If you are looking for a framework for build a social network I strongly
Chose eXo Platform
Pligg was a pain to set up, especially on a Windows environment.
Chose eXo Platform
One of the main reasons for choosing eXo was the good UI and UX. It is well suited for social collaboration features. Chat application provided by eXo is very good and is outstanding when compared to skype. Also Calendar feature is also very helpful for social apps development …
Chose eXo Platform
vTiger, but very buggy and has to be installed on site.
Notion
Chose Notion
Notion is far superior to OneNote.
OneNote is unnecessarily complex and quite constrained by 'old ways' of doing things.
Notion is a more simplistic interface and just 'works'.
Chose Notion
Needed something outside of Microsoft Office for overall deal and project tracking and collating our collective knowledge and learnings from different deals.
We have not evaluated against anything else.
Chose Notion
I listed only the other tools we use. These are not necessarily competitors to Notion, nor we use them for the same things. For organising tasks and collaborative work we only use Notion. Slack is good for communication, Figma for design and development, while Miro for …
Chose Notion
I like the Notion interface and possibilities.
Chose Notion
Notion brought the two together with features from each that we liked being put into one place.
Chose Notion
I like Notion more than Trello and Google Sheets because it has the best parts of both. Trello is good for making lists of tasks, but it can’t do much else. Google Sheets is great for organizing data, but it can get messy. I chose Notion because I can make lists, tables, and …
Chose Notion
The first major difference is the ability to create formulas using other columns and even using other formulas. This increases the possibility of customization to another level. I couldn't do the same things using these other tools. The second is the infinite number of things …
Chose Notion
I think Miro also has it's downsides but in general there is more options to illustrate one's creative ideas and workflows etc. Notion is slightly more limiting in that sense. And due to two facor authentification I also tend to work more in google sheets and google docs and …
Chose Notion
Notion pretty much combines all the capabilities each one of these platforms have and just takes the most important ideas and concentrates on making them stand out. I can create a "Trello" type of timeline, and use a more traditional "Jira" or "Asana" type of waterfall view. …
Chose Notion
Notion goes beyond file storage, which are what the two selected above primarily offer. Also I have used Notion for personal use cases and projects and have found it to have a really amazing user experience and UI. Microsoft products tend to fail at having a good UX. Also, …
Chose Notion
The company uses both Notion and Trello within the company. Notion is more for North America employees while Trello is used between Operation team overseas and in North America. Sometimes it's a preference of how the tools look like for project management. I would say both …
Chose Notion
Jira is a great tool, that is probably more robust than Notion and more scalable. But for a small company (under 50 people) the investment is hard to swallow without a significant revenue stream justifying it. Notion is a perfect low cost option that meets 80% of the …
Chose Notion
We found Notion to be a lot easier to use than ClickUp. They offer a similar feature set, but ClickUp was a lot less user-friendly in my opinion. We also tried Trello and Todoist, but found they were just lacking the features we needed. We still use Trello for some internal …
Chose Notion
Notion's flexibility and extensive customization options make it the perfect tool for my personal organization. I appreciate not being confined to a single format, and I find that the process of personalizing my workspace sparks creativity, which is a great asset for managing …
Chose Notion
Notion is the most in depth of all of the above applications. You can make a simple to-do list and share it with other people, or dive deep into formulas and page linking. I appreciate that it does not take a large time to set up like Monday.com, but it still offers a huge …
Chose Notion
Notion has a powerful feature, and it is their templates within databases. They allow our operation to flow seamlessly and create new tasks with defined subtasks in seconds.
Chose Notion
not nearly as useful, it is just a file organiser tool but Notion has the functionality of creating many thing in one page, allowing to include more pages and link with other spaces. such as Miro, google drive, calendar, etc
Integration is part of what makes Notion the best …
Chose Notion
A lot more features for collaboration and sharing information.
Chose Notion
I think that Notion adds a better user experience which is more customisable. Some of these apps are really rigid and dont give youthe flexability that Notion does.
Chose Notion
I found that Notion offered the most versatility. In particular it allowed me to super easily format and reformat information depending on how I was using it. This has proven incredibly useful. And has allowed me to store various types of information all in the same place.
Chose Notion
Notion is less complicated than ClickUp and more user friendly, especially for those who prefer simplicity. I am aware that ClickUp does offer simple template and let us scale it but Notion is one step ahead because of the UI design is easier to use.
I like Confluence at work …
Chose Notion
I've used Evernote in the past and currently use Asana alongside Notion, so I can compare them based on my experience.

Notion is much more flexible than Evernote. While Evernote is great for basic note-taking, Notion allows me to structure my notes with nested pages, databases, …
Chose Notion
We were using Nation for the whole company and it's amazing, however, for the CS team with the tech/ops we are using Trello. As a CS & Operation manager, the reminders/alarms/notifications are the most important for handling time and minimizing the SLAs, so I created automation …

In our scenario, we're using it for DMS, too. The DMS functionalities are suited only for small enterprises because when the number of resources increases it becomes harder to manage overall configuration. Anyway software is quite easy to use from an end-user point of view and it increases collaboration, especially when the team is already suited to use collaborative tools.

At the company I work for, we use Notion as an organizational base for all sectors and projects. For example, we use it for the marketing team, customer support team, among others. And for each one, we can create pipelines, tasks, due dates, execution time, tags with different colors. It's something very versatile that helps with everything around here. We've even created a sales funnel in Notion.

Pros
  • I personally love the user-friendly interface. Often you find software which is difficult to learn, and not utilized as often as it should be because of this. With eXo Platform, the interface is easy to understand, and is not particularly challenging to new users and non-tech savvy individuals.
  • It allows you to get work done, without feeling like using the platform is part of the actual work. It feels more like a natural system you would use in your leisure time to connect with friends and family, rather than a social intranet designed to facilitate employee communication and help you meet project deadlines.
  • The cloud platform allows users to easily share information and files, and collaborate on project work. Another benefit to this is it makes mobile collaboration possible.

  • I love that you can create nested pages, allowing for separate sections to organize information as needed.
  • I appreciate the convenience of effortlessly uploading images to any section.
  • I appreciate that when adding links, you can embed them so the website displays directly on the page.

Cons
  • Ajax call timing is more when creating space from eXo portal. Sometimes some UI portion was getting messed up in older version of eXo portal.
  • Should have a good validations for e.g "There are no documents available in this folder" instead of blank when there are no documents available in document folder.

  • I use Notion on my personal tablet, and unlike on the computer, I have a lot of difficulty editing backgrounds, GIFs, and page dividers. It's not as user-friendly, and often the elements end up cut off or misaligned, which is frustrating.
  • While the current calendar feature is helpful, I'd love to see more customization options. The Google Calendar style isn't always ideal, especially for tasks without specific times or for ongoing projects that require daily maintenance.
  • It would be fantastic to have more flexibility in customizing Notion pages. For example, I'd love to create planners with the freedom to add illustration boxes, stickers, or GIFs without being restricted to a fixed layout.

Usability
This platform has a pleasant user interface, is very easy to use, and offers a lot of useful accessories and add-ons. At first it can be a little intimidating, but it doesn't take long to get used to it. It is considerably reliable and safe. Facilitates connection and collaboration with coworkers. It provides tools that allow you to capture, organize and act according to the internal knowledge of your team.

Notion addresses most of our needs and help teams to organize their tasks, track their progresses and then archive for future reference. The company uses Notion to share announcement, holiday schedules, employee contact information and organizational structures. Everyone finds it useful and helpful. The notifications are instant. Reminders are on time.

Support Rating
The eXo platform offers a high quality support, which satisfies the requirements of our company, especially when the platform begins to be used, due to the amount of tools that can be overwhelming. Support responses are made in a short period of time.

Notion is much more robust than Google Tasks, which I find very limited. Notion is far more customizable and affordable than Asana, which is more of a turnkey solution for teams that want to work within a pre-defined structure. Notion and ClickUp are comparable, in my opinion, in terms of task management and affordability, however Notion is the more customizable and expansive option whereas ClickUp is mostly just for task management.
