### "Microsoft Notes Review"

August 29, 2024

5.0

I use this almost weekly for notetaking for both of my positons at my job so that when I am finished training for the Controller promotion, I can then train who we hire to replace me and have my notes already ready for her/him.

Pros

I use this all the time to keep notes on because I worked in a totally different field of work prior to my current position, and now I have been promoted to the Controller for the company, so it helps me keep notes separated.

Cons

I really do not have any cons because it's very organized and useful.

### "Microsoft OneNote: A Comprehensive Note-Taking Solution"

July 19, 2024

4.0

I've used OneNote for years and it's been a game-changer. I love its flexibility and customization options, and it's been a trusted sidekick for meeting minutes, project plans, and more. While it's had its growing pains, Microsoft has listened to feedback and iterated on the app. Today, OneNote is more powerful than ever, with seamless integration across devices. It's not perfect, but it's an indispensable tool for my workflow

Pros

versatile note-taking application that allows users to create, organize, and collaborate on digital notes. Its cross-platform compatibility ensures seamless syncing across devices, making it accessible on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. Users appreciate the rich formatting options, including text styling, image embedding, and table creation.

Cons

The search function often returns irrelevant results, and the lack of a clear hierarchy makes it easy to get disorganized. Limited collaboration features and no real-time co-authoring

### "OneNote for many notes"

July 23, 2024

4.0

Really useful for taking notes and share them. You can use the app or access it online. I prefer the dark theme. Very easy to use; you can create and organize new sections or groups of sections. Every section can be edited like a word file.

Pros

Everyone can use OneNote, you immediatly learn how to use it. If you delete or change any note you can look at history changes (really useful!) You can attach files and images, plus you have several graphical tools.

Cons

Sometimes I got an error and my account can't synchronize and I have to clear cache or reinstall the program to make it work again

### "Microsoft OneNote - Great Collaboration Tool"

September 3, 2024

4.0

Overall, it is a great tool for keeping notes and organizing information with notebooks, sections, and pages.

Pros

Microsoft OneNote allows users to organize their notes, ideas, and projects effectively. We can easily integrate with other Microsoft products such as Outlook, Word, Excel, and Teams. It is free for personal use and still offers a lot of useful features in its free version.

Cons

Microsoft OneNote has a complex interface, and it is difficult for new users to learn. It provides only basic text formatting options which makes it harder to organize your notes.

### "Intel use of BI agile working "

July 26, 2024

5.0

Pros

The software allows for me to keep all of my notes and tasks in one place, and can be shared with and collaborated on by others. This means I dont miss any tasks and can keep everything organised. Helps with agile working as this can be used across devices also.

Cons

Sometimes they can be hard to find shared files on one drive but once you get the hang of it this is much easier to do.

### "An awesome and time-tested note tool with plenty to offer."

My all time favorite feature of OneNote is the freedom to make a note anywhere on the page. I love that the entire page is an unstructured canvas which makes unofficial flowcharts easy to make.
