### "Microsoft OneNote as an Engineer"

July 22, 2024

4.0

Pros

Very straightforward and easy to use and integrate with the rest of the Microsoft application ecosystem. Helps me keep track of projects and tasks to complete. Very interactive application which allows drawings, pictures, etc.

Cons

Very basic, I would appreciate a collaboration mode. More so, a notification and priority system to alert me of urgent tasks to complete or prioritize based on upcoming deadlines. Sometimes the software can be confusing when switching between notes. Improvements to make it feel more like a notebook would be appreciated.

### "Essential for Everyday"

June 13, 2024

5.0

Pros

I love Microsoft OneNote for note taking and personal organization. I love how everything is automatically saved in one place, so I'm never afraid to lose my work and it is easy to keep everything organized within the app rather than in a ton of folders on a server or desktop.

Cons

It is difficult to share notes and information within OneNote without messing up the formatting. I often have to copy notes into the body of an email or into a Word doc.

[Microsoft Word](https://www.capterra.com/p/227146/Microsoft-Word/)

Easy organization and work saves automatically.

### "Good for capturing the minutes of meetings on OneNote"

June 26, 2024

5.0

Overall experience from my side is great for OneNote. It is easy for use, organized in structure and helps immensely for the followup between the meetings.

Pros

1) Easier for capturing the MOM (minutes of meeting) in the meeting with date on tab "add page". 2) Also easy to add each page and different section under the tab "Add page" and "Add section". 3) This will be the collective package for any Individual who works with table, MoM capturing, adding Images.

Cons

1) It is a versatile software but it may take some time to understand to use all features. 2) Having some Issues while creating tables sometimes. 3) Syncing problem happens.

### "Best for Note taking and tracking tasks"

May 15, 2024

5.0

Pros

One of the standout features of Microsoft OneNote for me is its seamless integration with other Microsoft Office applications and services. This integration streamlines workflows and enhances productivity by allowing users to easily transfer information between different tools.

Cons

While OneNote's flexibility is a strength, it can also be a drawback for users who struggle to maintain organization and focus within their notes. The abundance of formatting options, tags, and collaboration features may lead to information overload or cluttered notes if not managed effectively.

### "Hits the right NOTE!"

May 16, 2024

5.0

My overall experience with OneNote has been exceptional during my time using it.I can easily and effortlessly send emails, documents, and other media/correspondence to save for reference, projects, and task management later.

Pros

I love OneNote because it's integrated into Microsoft 365 to use across various apps within that suite.

Cons

A little tricky to figure out the nuances at first but it becomes second nature once you begin using it frequently.

Alternatives considered

[Evernote Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/154969/Evernote-Business/)

Reason for choosing Microsoft OneNote

Because it integrates seamlessly with the Microsoft Office Suite.

### "Esperienza completa"

May 13, 2024

5.0

Esperienza complessivamente positiva, resta comunque un ottimo blocco appunti ovvio che i vari appunti dovranno essere elaborati con software più adatti

Pros

In OneNote è possibile inserire di tutto, file, immagini, emoi, collegamenti, audio,i componenti aggiuntivi permettono, ad esempio l'inserimento rapido di formule matematiche o chimiche e tener traccia delle riunioni.

Cons

Inserirei qualche forma geometrica,frecce od altro nella sezione disegno

### "OneNote: A Valuable Tool for Students"

May 31, 2024

5.0

Overall, I'd recommend Microsoft OneNote to any college or law student wanting to stay organized.

Pros

Microsoft OneNote was a lifesaver during law school. It's auto-save capabilities, notebook style organization, and ease of use helped me keep notes for various courses organized.

Cons

Rarely, the program would crash, but generally my notes would auto-save.

### "A thousand of note"

May 18, 2024

5.0

One note has a clean jnterface that I like, it's easy to understand how it works and you are free to edit your section dragging and dropping files, attaching images, pasting and formatting text, past tables... I like that next to every note there are the initials of the name about who wrote/changed it. Sometimes it seems to stop sync and give error, most of time I have to close and reopen the app. Anyway, really useful program.

Pros

I use OneNote for work every day. I mainly use the app version, but in case of need I can also use the web version e.g. if I am away from office or I am not using my computer. You can organize your notes creating alphabetical section with many sections inside. You can attach images and files and edit the text in the way you prefer like you were using word. You can also have a look at changes during time, so if anything is wrong or missing you can display how it was before last changes. You can share your notes with others via email. Really useful to keep and share notes and data, especially at work. I prefer dark version.

Cons

Sometimes it does not sync giving errors and you have to reinstall it and clean the cache

### "One Notes for Students"

June 14, 2024

5.0

Pros

I like the Flexibility and Organization: OneNote functions like a digital notebook, allowing you to organize information in a free-form way. You can create different notebooks for various projects or subjects, and within each notebook, add text, images, videos, web clippings, and more. This flexibility makes it useful for various tasks like note-taking, brainstorming, research organization, and to-do lists.

Cons

I did not like the Potential for Information Overload: The flexibility of OneNote can lead to information overload if not organized effectively. With so many ways to add content, keeping track of everything can become challenging.
