Notion replaces the wiki, the doc tool and half the trackers a small company accumulates, using one block-based editor and relational databases.

Detailed review
What makes it stick
Every page is composable, and databases can be viewed as tables, boards, calendars or galleries without duplicating data. Teams that document decisions rather than losing them in chat get compounding value.
AI and search
The assistant summarises pages, drafts sections and answers questions across the workspace. Search improved substantially but still rewards disciplined page structure.
Weaknesses
Performance dips on very large databases, and offline support is patchy. Without an owner, workspaces sprawl into an unnavigable mess within a year.
Verdict
Superb for documentation-first teams willing to invest an hour a month in gardening.
