Susie I
Founder and Brand Strategist
5.0

Susie: Hi, I'm Susie. I'm a brand strategist. I'm a solopreneur and I give Sunsama a five out of five star rating. Before trying Sunsama, we utilized Google Calendar, which was a mess of different colors trying to coordinate tasks and merge them in with calendar items, various lists on scrap papers and notebooks on my desk, and note-taking apps on my phone, sending myself text messages about things I want to do, and just generally not being very organized about time management. Sunsama changed all of that for me. It is a mindful approach to task management and time management, which is very meaningful for me, and has created a very positive and enjoyable habit out of scheduling my daily tasks. A friend of mine recommended Sunsama, and I consider her to be a very focused and a successful entrepreneur. When I found out that it was one of her secrets to success, I really wanted to give it a try. The integration of Sunsama is the absolute best part. They're very smart about their onboarding, which I really appreciate. It's not an app that you're going to walk into blindly and have to figure out on your own. Sunsama's onboarding method brings you into the app slowly. You get an email a day over the course of 10 days, and it introduces new features and benefits and ways to utilize the app. By day 10, it's a habit and you feel very confident using it. I would say download the free trial and get into that onboarding process as soon as you can. You will very quickly see the benefits of tracking your time, categorizing your time, and another great feature is the report at the end of the week showing you exactly where you spent your time.

Michael C
VP of Marketing
5.0

Michael C.: Hi, I'm Michael. I'm Vice President of Marketing at KORONA POS, and I give Notion a five out of five. Prior to Notion we were using Monday. Monday served our purposes pretty well. It's a decent platform for task management and project management, but some of the user experience and tracking of different projects fell a little short, so we switched to Notion and it's been great ever since. We decided to go with Notion one, it has a great reputation online. Product reviews across the board are solid. Two, we had a few team members internally who used Notion just privately and really, really liked it. So made it a pretty easy decision. It was affordable to try out, and we stuck with it since. Getting started with Notion was remarkably easy. The onboarding process was simple. We were able to have a free trial just to make sure that we liked it, but then once going live, getting the information and projects started was quite easy on my end as the administrator and then all of our users being able to navigate it themselves and update certain projects, add comments, attach files, anything like that. Super simple. So there was next to no learning curve. Before getting Notion for us, we had used a few different platforms for project and task management. All of them kind of came with slight hurdles and hiccups that files weren't being attached correctly or a project had been updated. Somebody had made a comment, but that it didn't reflect properly. So once we got Notion, tracking all of our content production for our blog, tracking different tasks within the marketing department, tracking video production became a lot easier. So if anything, we just wish that we would've made the switch to Notion sooner.
