Glide vs. Notion

Notion: Flexible, creative and... complex

Notion has earned its place as a point of contact for organization and productivity. It's based on the idea of “blocks” and allows users to create anything from notes and task lists to databases. Think of it like a digital Lego set where you build your work area brick by brick.

Notion strengths

• Creative interface: Its pastel shades and customizable design make it a joy for creative users.
• Versatile features: From simple task tracking to full-fledged project management, it adapts to various needs.
• Collaboration features: Real-time collaboration ensures teams can work together effortlessly.

Challenges for companies

• learning curve: Workflows take time to create, and onboarding new users can be difficult.
• Expensive maintenance: Every user becomes a builder, which requires continuous input and monitoring.
• Permissions and security: Open collaboration can be risky, particularly for companies that handle sensitive data.

While good for personal use or small teams, Notion can feel overwhelming for growing businesses that need structure and scalability.
