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.

SHRESHTHI M
HRIS Manager
4.0

Shreshthi M.: Hi, my name is Shreshthi, and I work as an HRIS manager. I am going to review Laserfiche today, and my rating for that software is four out of five. For more reviews like this, please click below. So my company got an HRIS software just five years ago. And before that we didn't have any place to store our employee paperwork, so we were storing them manually. And then it was taking up a lot of physical space in the office, but then Laserfiche came to our rescue and we were able to scan all the paper and store them in Laserfiche and access it as needed. And save a lot of space in office. So what I really like about Laserfiche is that the software is really easy to use. There was just no learning curve. It is as easy to use as the documents section in MS Office, which everyone uses frequently. What I also like about the software is that it is compatible with a scanning machine, so documents can automatically be scanned and stored in Laserfiche and accessed or updated as desired. When we got an HR software, it wasn't automatically compatible with the Laserfiche. That is... We were using Laserfiche to store our historical data, and then when we got the HR software, we were not able to transfer the information from Laserfiche directly into the software, so we had to engage an external consultant who was able to download the files from Laserfiche, then convert it into a format that was readable by our HR software, and then help us migrate all the data in one place. The entire process was very lengthy. It took a lot of time, it was also very expensive, so there could be some development in that area.
