    It is the perfect companion for storing all those little bits of information you need to do your job well, the best thing is getting it all out of your head and in to Google Keep. You can trust it to hold that information for you, and you know you can go back and use its excellent search functionality to find that information at a later date. It can also work really well for your personal life as well. I have two accounts, my work account and my personal account - I use them both in different contexts but I have always found Google Keep is great for both.

    If you want a customizable solution that can be adapted for just about any scenario, I recommend using Notion. If you need a solution that's easy to share with people outside your organization, Notion is great and allows individual or team permission-setting. If you want a turnkey solution, Notion might not be the best since it requires a fair bit of set-up. There are templates that can be purchased to handle this, but I haven't found them very helpful.

    Pros
    Google
    • It's incredibly quick to load, it doesn't take long to pull up any note you have no matter how much information is in the note.
    • The ability to collaborate on a Google Keep note is also great! It allows for two or more of you to work on a project in one space.
    • I also love that I can color coordinate. I can make all my meeting notes one color, my personal notes another color and so on.
    • Enjoying the pinning feature that allows me to keep my important notes right at the top so I don't have to go searching for them when needed.

    • I love that you can create nested pages, allowing for separate sections to organize information as needed.
    • I appreciate the convenience of effortlessly uploading images to any section.
    • I appreciate that when adding links, you can embed them so the website displays directly on the page.

    Cons
    Google
    • Keep only offers labels, but having folders or nested tags would help in managing notes better.
    • Finding notes can be difficult, especially when there are many. Filters by date, content type, or color would help.
    • Keep notes should easily convert into Google Docs or sync better with Google Calendar tasks.

    • I use Notion on my personal tablet, and unlike on the computer, I have a lot of difficulty editing backgrounds, GIFs, and page dividers. It's not as user-friendly, and often the elements end up cut off or misaligned, which is frustrating.
    • While the current calendar feature is helpful, I'd love to see more customization options. The Google Calendar style isn't always ideal, especially for tasks without specific times or for ongoing projects that require daily maintenance.
    • It would be fantastic to have more flexibility in customizing Notion pages. For example, I'd love to create planners with the freedom to add illustration boxes, stickers, or GIFs without being restricted to a fixed layout.

    It does everything I need it to do. It is easy to organize and categorize what I need and what I want to see.

    Usability

    They made it simple for anyone to use. There are no complicated steps involved to create a note, edit a note, or search for a specific item located in a note. They also made it simple to share it with others, making it easy to collaborate. Google kept it basic without a thousand "bells and whistles" to overcomplicate it.

    Very easy to use (I learned how to use everything on my own) and I was able to set up an entire ecosystem without any courses or other tools. I often say that Notion is like Lego for adults, because there we can use all the available tools to create a multitude of things, from funnels to projects with calculated deadlines and tags.

    I gave this rating based on the ease of use, the simple functionality and how well it does at keeping my attention and helping me continue to use it and stay on track. The functionality mentioned before alongside the reminder functions and how it utilizes Google's powerful machine learning tech to better its software is remarkable.

    The main differential of Google Keep is its simplicity and efficiency for quick notes. I can draw on the card, put a photo, record audio if I can't write at the moment, in short, for everyday tasks, simple things, it is superior.

    The company uses both Notion and Trello within the company. Notion is more for North America employees while Trello is used between Operation team overseas and in North America. Sometimes it's a preference of how the tools look like for project management. I would say both Notion and Trello are nice tools and serves our needs.

    Return on Investment

    • Google Keep is free, and for what I need it for I don't need to purchase another tool.
    • It's handy when it comes to taking quick notes, but so is a piece of paper. This tool won't magically improve your life.
