Pros

“I can pull data from a master task list into a sprint board, auto‑update statuses, and the whole team sees the same live view, which saves me hours of manual updates.”
DC

Daniel C.

Product Manager

“It is a flexible and powerful workspace that allows me to organize notes, tasks, projects, documents, and databases in one place.”

Heba S.

Business Development Manager

“You can build a workspace that fits your exact workflow—it worked for all the things I need: documentation for clients, writing scripts for content, managing my time/calendar, and storage.”

Pros

“I love that it can automatically change the reference style with zero effort and it can find the paper I want to cite by title DOI, link, whatever I throw at it.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Sam W.

Staff Scientist

“It's a very user friendly tool, can be integrated into both GoogleDocs and Word and prevents me from messing up my references.”

Staff Scientist

“It is intuitive and since is connected to google docs as an extension I can have my info wherever I need it.”

Denisse B.

Graduate Student

Cons

“The mobile app feels clunky whenever I need to check something quickly during testing. Plus, offline mode is pretty unreliable, which causes real issues when the office wifi gets spotty.”
IS

Iqra S.

Front-end Developer

“Notion works great as a higher level PM tool but lacks a lot of the functionality or features that you might find in a dedicated enterprise project management solution. As content grows in this respect, it can cause some dips in performance, sometimes resulting in the usually smooth graphics lagging a bit and feels a bit jarring. As teams expand it can also become a bit more difficult managing permissions and sharing.”
Cq

Connor q.

IT Team Lead

“Without a clear structure, workspaces can become cluttered fairly quickly, especially as more team members start creating their own pages and databases.”
SS

Samuel S.

CoFounder

Cons

“The word plug-in, which is the most important thing to me since I write all of my papers in MS Word, can be buggy at times and sometimes does not update with new references/has to be recompiled frequent.”
LZ

Lisa Z.

Physician

“Lack of reference version control to explicitly link version numbers/dates to duplicate references and allow controlled deduplication is an issue.”
OM

Oliver M.

Research Associate

“The worst part of paperpile is when importing papers, it often finds non-published (arXiv) version of the papers instead of their published counter parts. ”
