Layer8 Systems vs Notion
Notion is a great general-purpose wiki but lacks IT-specific features. NoteTakr is purpose-built for infrastructure teams — with AES-256-GCM encryption, device config versioning, semantic search, and deep integration with network maps and asset records.
Why teams leave Notion
- Content isn't end-to-end encrypted — not ideal for credentials or device configs
- No IT-specific structure: configs, runbooks, procedures require manual setup
- No integration with network topology or ITAM tools
- No config version history or diff
