We've been using Notion for the past couple months to help communicate to the whole team what's going across the organization- sales, marketing, engineering, customer success, and product management. It's been great!
@traviscannon Thanks Travis! You're feedback during the beta has been incredible valuable, and you and Andrew at Radar have really helped shaped our JIRA integration http://usenotion.com/jira/. So much more to come!
@jydesign Thanks James! That's all @sproutworx :) Our focus is to make all the data visualization and reporting simple, fast, and beautiful, so we can all focus on building awesome product.
I've received a couple direct messages, so thought I'd add some additional info here for clarity:
In addition to our manual data capture workflow around custom recipes and team polls, we currently have direct integrations with Pivotal Tracker and Zendesk. Our JIRA integration is in beta testing as well -- just let us know if you are interested in it, and we can turn it on for you. (You can request integrations here: http://discover.usenotion.com/re...)
We also just rolled out an API that allows you to push data from any of your sources. It's a handy way to import historicals (say from a Google Sheet) or to automate the reporting process on ingredients. We use it internally to pull over numbers from Hubspot, and some of our customers have used it to send in data from Intercom as well as their own databases.
Excited to be listed today. Thanks @chrismessina and everyone for checking us out. Please feel free to ask any questions about the product, I'll be more than happy to answer.
@dhruvp2014 Thanks, Dhruv! Let us know if you have any questions as you explore the app.
@yassinelanda Hi Yassine. Notion allows for more insight across the team and tools you use, providing a single location for all your team data. As a quick example, Tracker's analytics might only give you half the story on how long it really takes to fix a bug. It's not capturing how long that bug went through Zendesk, let's say, before being captured in Tracker.
Like I said, it's a quick example, but when you think about how many tools your product team really uses (for us it's Tracker, Github, Rollbar, Intercom, Hubspot, ProductPlan, Google Docs, etc) and how much data there is siloed in each one, you start to see the value of getting it all in one place. And that's not an easy task for managers and team leads without using dev resources. Our goal is to simplify all that.
If Slack is your communication layer, think of Notion as a data layer, bringing everything together.
And of course, we also provide team polling, commenting, easy report building and sharing, and more.
@sproutworx Thanks for the great answer and all the details. As a data scientist I can see the value in your approach. I am sold!
As a PM at Notion, I am very curious to hear what product people's needs are around using their internal data (engineering team, customer feedback, app data) to make decisions.
Ideally, sharing information should be easy, visual and give your product team a more reliable source to plan with. We've also noticed that tracking your team's insights about their process (confidence in releases, team communication) is a good thing to compare to the other performance metrics you track. Feel free to contact me directly if you have questions.
It's a bit pricey I think. It's more expensive then Tableau would be if you have a small team.
@kyle_visner Thanks Kyle, we're experimenting with price, so it's great to get feedback in this area. Tableau can be incredible expensive (we deployed it at my last company). This is some perspective on the Server cost: https://www.quora.com/How-much-d.... If you're hoping to use 'Online' at 500/user/year, then you'll need to first get the desktop version. That's either $999 or $1999 for one license ('Personal' or 'Professional'). But the real cost is that you have to integrate with your data sources, because Tableau doesn't do most of that for you. Our mission is to deliver value much more quickly with a solution that's easy to sign up for and easy to use.
