Considered Both Products
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 …
ProProfs Project
Chose ProProfs Project
We use Asana and Project Bubble for different project tracking. ProProfs Project is our media/marketing manager's favorite software and has been great for communicating across state lines. I have found pros and cons for each of the software we use for project tracking. …
Chose ProProfs Project
I think Project Bubble is way more streamlined than the others mentioned, as well as way more cost-effective! It is simple enough for my clients to access and keep track of their status, without having to explain or train them in the process. For value of money, customer …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

If you’re executing creative projects, this tool will offload a lot of your work. It lets you clearly define the assignees and the associated timelines. You can even extract insightful reports to monitor team performance and project progress on the go.

Pros
  • 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.

  • I needed a project management software that had client access, ability to comment, percent-complete tracking, and email integration.
  • The mobile app is a big part of what has improved in the last year and why I have decided to stick with it ultimately. Many others I've decided do not have apps on the marketplace, which is a big hindrance, in my opinion.
  • Invoicing and tracking expenses is a huge plus.
  • White Labeling - I can customize the system with my own logo
Read full review
Cons
  • 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.

  • Integration with third-party applications
  • The 15-day trial period of the tool seems a bit short to completely grasp the efficancy of the tool

Usability
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.

I personally have not had to contact ProProfs Project Customer Support. I know that our media / marketing manager has used this tool for a while and is very comfortable with it. He has never expressed any issues or frustrations that I know of. The product is simple and easy to use and does not seem to require much support.

Alternatives Considered
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.

We use Asana and Project Bubble for different project tracking. ProProfs Project is our media/marketing manager's favorite software and has been great for communicating across state lines. I have found pros and cons for each of the software we use for project tracking. Really, it depends on who is managing the projects and which software/system they prefer to use.
