### "OneNote allows me to store related content, regardless of file type, in one location. "

May 31, 2018

3.0

In general a good product that I use both at home and at work.

Pros

The product is fairly intuitive and integrates with other Office products. Password protection is available and can be applied at the sheet level.

Cons

Although OneNote is fairly easy to use, it sometimes makes it easy to by-pass set-ups that would allow to leverage the software.

### "Software like none that helps my team collaborate."

March 12, 2021

5.0

I have used OneNote In Ocassions where everyone had to collaborate and bring their ideas on board.The usage was top Notch.

Pros

Its easy feature and very simple GUI helps learners in my team to use OneNote. It has helped me to take notes in meetings without my diary.

Cons

Software with easy feature. You hardly use oneNote and don't want to use it over and over again. Just give it a try!

Reason for choosing Microsoft OneNote

One Note is a Microsoft product with very nice embedded architecture. I love Microsoft and hence I love OneNote.

### "Microsoft OneNote is a good application"

October 10, 2022

4.0

Overall, it's a great tool and you can get the job done. There's a ton of features that many other doc software apps do not come with.

Pros

I like that I can use it on my computer when I don't have internet access. I also love that it comes with a lot of tools that I can use to ingrate other tools like painting software.

Cons

Sometimes when I have to upload the file, I have a hard time with the configuration. Sometimes I feel like I need to be more techy than I'd like to be.

### "Taking Notes With OneNote"

December 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

I use OneNote to take all of the notes for all of my department meetings. It keeps everything in One place and allows for the easy transfer to any other Microsoft platform.

Cons

The only con about One Note is trying to use it for the features with a tablet. It is much harder to draw and type. But my fault for using the tablet.

### "It connects to other Microsoft platforms and that's the best part."

May 9, 2018

3.0

If you use other Microsoft products and value integration, use this. If not, stick with something better like EverNote.

Pros

I like that I can easily use tasks, insert emails, and keep my Microsoft functions connected. I like being able to have multiple notebooks with multiple sections and pages.

Cons

The interface is not pretty and also frustrating. The newest version is buggy and often doesn't load for me - it's prettier than the one I am using but not worth the hassle.

### "One note can make many notes! "

January 14, 2019

5.0

Once you've gotten accustomed to the interface it's a great application.

Pros

What I liked most about OneNote is that first and foremost is its FREE and can be used on any device!

Cons

At first it can be confusing with the way the "pages" are setup and different notebook tabs can take a bit of getting used to.

### "Does the job, nothing extra"

February 24, 2021

3.0

I mainly use it to keep things I would often want to copy and paste.

Pros

You can use it like a notebook. It is easy to fill in text anywhere on a page, perfect for jotting down any notes you may need for the future.

Cons

It opens a new blank tab every time I open, which is completely unnecessary. Also, despite being way easier to jot down notes on the page than a program like Word, it's still oddly finicky and restrictive.

### "What can I say more?"

September 10, 2018

4.0

Pros

This app/software just simply beyond my expectation. When I first used this app, I thought that it is just a handy planner that can be access through my smartphone but I was wrong. It serves now as my secretary since it reminds me what to do and where to go. Thanks onenote on the job well done.

Cons

At first I was having trouble on figuring out how to use and maximize the features of this app but as time goes by this app just simply teaches me the things I need to know about it.

January 24, 2019

5.0

Very convenient to use since it is so handy because it can be accessed thru mobile phones. It is helpful in reminding of the planned vacation and travels as well as meetings. The interface is easy to understand and to use.

Cons

Overall, it is good but some of my notes eventually deleted without me doing it so.

### "Uso de Microsoft One Note en pequeñas empresas"

April 1, 2024

4.0

Me parece una buena aplicación sobretodo dependiendo del uso que se le quiera dar.

Pros

Es fácil de comprender y usar además que para las personas de edad avanzada, tiene conectores fáciles de entender.

Cons

No tiene que ver con la aplicación sino más bien con el uso de computadoras para los empleados mayores.

### "Comes with a Cost"

June 13, 2023

Pros

Copy paste literally anything. As this is saved in cloud the documents can be accessed from anywhere.

The recurring price tag that is attached to it makes it expensive for a note taking app.

### "The OneNote You Need"

December 3, 2018

4.0

Pros

Microsoft OneNote is a great application for note-taking because of it's flexibility in adding information onto a note page. I find myself either writing, drawing, or pasting notes into the note page and they all work beautifully. OneNote also has notebooks which are divided into sections which are further divided into pages and this allows for a wide range of sorting. Overall, this application is a great one for notes.

Cons

OneNote offers many different features, some of which may not be of use but can appear from time to time during note-taking. The indent feature would sometimes turn words into a table format which can be annoying to fix at times. Otherwise, OneNote is a great application and should be used by people who are looking to take notes on a regular basis.

### "OneNote"

August 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

Very similar to Evernote, OneNote has a big perk: it syncs with your OneDrive cloud. So you can have it on a personal device, computer, phone, and laptop and what is one spot appears in all.

Cons

I do not have many negative things to say about with this product. I have found it very useful and love the organization!

### "OneNote: If you think, you need this"

September 16, 2022

5.0

Overall, having used this software both as a student and as a professor, I highly recommend it given how it has organized my thoughts more than I ever thought I could on my own. Also, it's free. Check it out!

Pros

I love this software. From its intuitive layout, to its many organizational perks (such as being able to create multiple notebooks with many different pages), and the great ability to share all of your work on the cloud, I really can't get enough.

Cons

I am not a huge fan of some of the issues that can come up with the platform not syncing properly, or if there are issues with MS regarding your account, that those independent issues can affect your experience.

### "The Minute Taker"

July 8, 2020

5.0

One note makes minute taking very easy

Pros

I like how flexible it is regarding input. One can use the keyboard to type or make use of the stylus and input using your hand writing. One note also automatically synchronizes notes if its linked to a Microsoft account and this ensure that you do not lose any notes taken

Cons

Addition of a task list that can be ticked against with deadlines would be great.
