Productfolio is product management software designed to enable teams to focus on building products. The software gives end-to-end workflow tools to empower teams and to align the workflow. Users can define 'what' and ‘why’ so that the teams can work in the same direction. Productfolio also lets users prioritize opportunities to help create a roadmap. The drag and drop of the visual roadmap will help others know what…
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.
This platform is a product managers dream! If you are meeting with your team a lot for brains storming sessions, this is a great tool as it has an ideas list (my favorite aspect of the platform) where you can write in any ideas you have then task them to certain topics and tag people in the task! You can also move these ideas over to a "to-do's" list and then a "in progress" and "completed" list respectively. This has greatly helped our team take our ideas from just an idea to actually fulfilling it! This may not be helpful if your focuses are only on one idea or topics but this does help you bring your project along with a timeline so you can complete your work in a timely manner!
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.
I would like to see more color coding options - this is minor but when we have many different projects/clients/tasks, it would help to have more variation for differentiation!
Better price point may help this product get into more offices!
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.
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.
The similarity of Asana and Productfolio is task management but Productfolio exceeds it tenfolds as there are timeline trackers, to-do list organizers, ideas list, etc. The UI/UX is cleaner on Productfolio and easier to digest which is helpful when training new employees. I would highly recommend Productfolio over Asana!
