Is the Notion Worth It?

Best for teams that live in documents. Notion managed our project and documented it in the same place, which no other tool here does. It asked the most setup of any tool and lacks the resourcing views managers want.

Notion Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Project plan, meeting notes and specs in one place
  • Timeline view with dependencies handled our milestones
  • Templates for almost any process
  • Notion AI across the workspace (add-on)
Cons
  • Building the project system took a day; it is a toolkit, not a tool
  • No workload view or time tracking
  • Slower than Asana with many linked databases

Why it scored 7.6

Notion managed our project and documented it in the same place, which no other tool here does. It asked the most setup of any tool and lacks the resourcing views managers want.
