Pros & cons
What actually works day-to-day, and the trade-offs you'll feel after week one.
What works
- Databases are flexible without needing a dev
- Strong doc editor with embeds and templates
- AI add-on is useful for drafting
- API opens up automations
What doesn't
- Performance degrades on huge workspaces
- Offline support is limited
- Search could be better
Bottom line
Should you use Notion?
Great fit for a marketing team that lives in docs. Pair it with Linear or Asana if you need serious project management — Notion's board views are serviceable, not exceptional.
