Long time ago IBM Notes was a main platform to build groupware solutions. But "genius" IBM managers just ruined this product, it became outdated, companies who used this product for years switched to other products and as a final step, IBM sold this product to HCL.
HCL tries to resurrect it, but I think it could not be done, time is lost.
I have no experience with Notion, checked it now, yes, it looks like HCL Notes (former IBM Notes, and Lotus Notes).
HCL Notes presents mail, calendar, todo, discussions in an integrated environment, also you can build your own application (called databases), that utilize all these capabilities. Multi-platform, web-enabled, mobile, etc etc.
Also, Notion is a SaaS (software as a service) product as I understand. HCL (IBM, Lotus) Notes/Domino can be installed on a company's premises and used in an isolated environment (for extra security purposes, classified document processing, etc etc).
Seems like IBM doesn't support it anymore but IBM generally have good documentation!
IBM has ruined IBM Notes and sold it to HCL.

From what I can tell it's something similar to Notion right?

Ah makes sense. Well it definitely must have been a loss for the users who were using it!
