### "Very user friendly"

May 2, 2019

5.0

It is easy to use on many devices, Pc, laptop, Smartphone and tablet, syncro all the notes among them

Pros

The possibility to format what you write in all possible ways, also highlighting notes

Cons

There is really nothing missing to my opinion in OneNote, it is full of features for taking notes. Maybe also a feature for remembering things to do with notifications or alarm would be useful, but actually it is a software for taking notes, not a ToDo

### "Ein Muss für Microsoft Office Nutzer"

October 27, 2021

5.0

Microsoft OneNote ist ein gutes Tool, wenn man das Office Paket sowieso nutzt. Es eignet sich hervorragend für Notizen und zur Ablage von Dokumenten. Für komplexe Sachverhalte/ Projekte ist es für mich weniger geeignet.

Pros

One Note ermöglicht es schnell und unkompliziert Notizen zu machen, Artikel und Dokumente abzulegen oder Besprechungsmitschriften anzufertigen.

Cons

Die Möglichkeiten Seiten individuell zu gestalten sind begrenzt. Auch die Aufgabenfunktion ist für meine Zwecke nicht ausreichend.

Reason for choosing Microsoft OneNote

Letzendlich benutze ich OneNote für schnelle Notizen unterwegs. Für alle anderen Dinge bin ich zu Notion gewechselt.

### "Utile per le agende super affollate"

November 4, 2022

4.0

Pros

Ho iniziato ad utilizzare questa App da poco tempo, nella speranza di riuscire a rendere i miei appunti più ordinati. Di sicuro i risultati si stanno vedendo meno confusione rispetto ai mille foglietti, la tecnologia come sempre offre innumerevoli vantaggi soprattutto nella vita quotidiana.

Cons

L'utilizzo di alcuni strumenti forniti dal software avvolte sono poco intuitivi e quindi fanno perdere tempo nel prendere appunti.

Microsoft OneNote gives you the ability to have all your notes and document at one place. Hard to miss anything as everything is on cloud. Very good tool.

### "One Note is great"

May 20, 2021

5.0

I like One Note because it is so versatile. It even can insert pictures into pages, easily, which I can't sya about other note programs.

Pros

One Note is like having a notepad, diary, journal and filing package all in one. I use it primarily as a journal. But I also use it to store receipts that have been emailed to me. It is simple to set up and since it comes with Windows 7 and up, you can't beat the price.

Cons

The default font is quirky. It is a non-standard non-serif font that does not paginate well and looks a little funky. I did finally learn how to change fonts so now it's better but then I had to go back and manually reformat all the previous pages with the new font. A PITA but that's the only real problem.

### "Love love love One Note!"

January 3, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love how it has essentially gotten rid of my notebooks, I can take notes and organize them perfectly, that way everything is always searchable and I am not looking through pages and pages of something to find something. I love how it syncs with all devices.

Cons

Sometimes the syncing doesn't work correctly. I haven't noticed that in a long time though so maybe that is something that has been fixed along the way.

### "The easiest way to take notes"

July 25, 2021

5.0

I use OneNote to organize my work and to keep notes close to me

Pros

What I did like most about OneNote is how easy is to take notes due to its flexibility in writing

### "Review for Microsoft OneNote"

January 11, 2023

4.0

An Excellent Organizer

Pros

While working with different people from different countries on different projects Microsoft OneNote provides me the authority to keep notes of my basic data which helps me a lot to remind me of the project initials. It is very simple to use and a valuable part of my day-to-day life. you don't need to remember everything just Microsoft OneNote.

Cons

There is nothing to Dislike about Microsoft OneNote, it's the simplicity of use is its best part. Although if we can have possibly linked data from Emails to Microsoft OneNote in one click, it will be helpful.

Reason for choosing Microsoft OneNote

I am comfortable using it

### "Your Notes Will not Disappear in the event of a Power outage"

January 11, 2023

5.0

Its a great tool that lets you begin your day right where you had left off. Its also helps review the previous day's progress.

Pros

Every letter that is typed into the Microsoft OneNote, remains there regardless of whether or not you saved it.

Cons

The entire experience was above average at least. I can't think of anything that spoiled by experience using MS OneNote.

Reason for choosing Microsoft OneNote

Microsoft OneNote takes priority over any other similar applications available. Ease of access and auto saves everything by default.

### "An Easy Way to Sync Schedules, Updates + To-Do Lists"

May 8, 2021

5.0

OneNote has made it much simpler for our team to view the work calendar, for us to communicate important updates and to store ongoing policies, procedures and forms. Admiringly named "the purple notes" by our team, it has taken the place of the many easy-to-lose papers that use to be scattered across our desks.

Pros

We love that Microsoft OneNote allows our team to share and edit schedules, updates, task lists and more all from one main browser tab. It syncs quickly, has useful features like the ability to insert checkboxes, images and drawings, and can be easily accessed without needing a password to access the software each time. I would highly suggest OneNote whether you are looking for an easy note-taking system for yourself or are searching for a shareable software for a multi-person team or project.

Cons

While OneNote syncs between devices quickly, it can sometimes take a while to load - especially when there is lots of content on a notebook page. This delay can be frustrating if you are using OneNote to store information that your team needs to access quickly, for example, while they are on the phone with a customer.

### "An excellent note that gets you through your day"

July 29, 2019

5.0

Awesome. Recommend everyone to use

Pros

It’s a really flexible app and packed with features like storing voice notes, web clipper etc. A feature that stands out is that it syncs really fast among devices; I’m typing a note on my pc and I step out, I can continue typing on my mobile. It also integrates well with Active Directory, making it easy for collaboration and notes sharing with my co-workers. Finally it’s a free software, that’s great.

Cons

So far the experience has been awesome, can say any cons except that the application on my pc freezes up once in a long while

You cand insert links, sounds and check boxs in your notes is the best thing you can get for a free app.

### "OneNote Game Changer"

October 5, 2021

5.0

Overall, it has been a life-changer for keeping up with my notes and helping to use less paper and be more environmentally friendly.

Pros

As a long-time user of insisting on note-taking ONLY on paper, OneNote totally changed the game. I can use this software to organize my meeting notes, put it to the side of my computer and take notes while having it locked in, and share those notes with whoever. Being able to look them up quickly and make sure I am remembering something right has been fantastic.

Cons

This product contains absolutely ANYTHING you could want from a note-taking software, I can't say I have any cons about it.

### "OneNote for Students"

August 17, 2022

5.0

Great. OneNote is my primary software tool for studying in residency.

Pros

Love that there are different sections so you can organize your notes within the same document but separate based on the day of your lecture or subject matter.

Cons

Sometimes I find I'll insert a screenshot and it will be a struggle to get back to the text box I was writing in. This wastes time that it is not intuitive that I would like to basically continue where I left off. If I didn't take the time to align my notes they would look disjointed.

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

OneNote is like a million Word documents in the same place. Basically the software equivalent to a school binder.

### "Microsoft One Note ~ The Only Virtual "File Cabinet" You Will Ever Need"

May 18, 2022

4.0

Pros

This program is an OCD persons dream. Make any folder you want and save your documents in it. That easy, not to mention the A-Z folders already included.

Cons

### "Let's get organized!"

December 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

The software is easy to use - intuitive so you can start getting organized quickly. I love that you can add different types of information to your notes - i.e., bring in other documents, pictures, etc. so I can house all my information in one spot. It was a great platform to gather notes as I transitioned into a new role that required a lot of changes to keep organized. And, when I had a new employee start - it was easy to share my helpful tips to naviagating accounting/new company with the new employee (i.e., emailing a page)

Cons

It can be distracting for others when you are taking notes in a meeting. Not the software's issue - just if you have "old school" employees they may think you are not paying attention and multi-tasking.

### "Review for onenote"

October 13, 2022

4.0

Pros

I started using this program with great enthusiasm. especially creating colorful categories gave more inspiration while taking notes. that's why I was jotting down my bibliographies here in academic texts.

Cons

I couldn't get used to the usage features. Colored categories are very nice, but the usage is not at the level we are very familiar with. That's why I'm still going through microsoft word.

### "Very good product with one shortcoming"

February 21, 2019

4.0

Pros

I love OneNote for everything from screen clips to organization of documents. It's very functional and part of my daily-use toolset.

Cons

The one thing I do not like is that on the last major update (for Office 365 maybe?) they removed the ability to start a screen clip via keyboard shortcut. I used to be able to start one with shift-windows-S, and now that's gone. I would love to get this back.

### "Great resource for collaborative note taking."

March 12, 2019

5.0

We have had a great experience with OneNote so far and I would recommend it to everyone. You can set up multiple accounts and I would suggest having accounts for work and personal. Depending on the size of the company you could possibly even different divisions within your company.

Pros

Microsoft OneNote is great for organizing all your team notes in one place. The structure is very intuitive, it's easy to share access to different Notebooks with different teams, and quickly searchable. Great for Project!

Cons

I don't really have anything I dislike. This has been a solid organization tool for our team projects.

### "My favorite life notepad"

October 15, 2020

5.0

Very good, it's a nice addition to the office suite and you can use it for work and daily life.

Pros

It's has many functionalities that makes it adaptable to your many needs. Also i like that you can share your notes with coworkers or friends.

Cons

I would love to see the search feature improved so you can organize your notes better. Also it would be useful to share only pages in a notebook and not the full notebook.
