### "Not for Me"

March 5, 2022

3.0

Pros

The synchronization is nice. Platform is easy to use.

Cons

I don't know, I just didn't really like using it. As far as notes go, I prefer to hand write rather then type.

### "Great project collaboration tool"

June 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

The strongest feature of OneNote is the ability to live edit with other collaborators in real-time. This makes coordinating project information, tasks and deliverables a breeze.

Cons

If a file is shared via SharePoint/OneNote online, the features are scaled back and the ability to open on OneNote desktop is hard to find.

### "One Note Connects Seamlessly "

December 4, 2018

5.0

One Note came through for me one time and I have never forgotten it deep down in my subconcious.

Pros

One Note is owned and operated by microsoft so you can’t fail with it. It truly is a great addition to all other office products and services.

Cons

Evernote is stiff competition and other note programs are really fighting hard to differentiate themselves. Its a congested arena.

### "Not as fully integrated as I would like"

May 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

When it works, OneNote is fabulous! So easy to use, intuitive and simply one of the best platforms out there for this type of application.

Cons

Perhaps my standards are too high when it comes to integrations. I expect everything to be seamless and "just work", and OneNote is one of those items that plays well with other platforms sometimes -- but completely falls down at other times. Very frustrating because I never know when it's going to be functional or not.

### "Keeps me organized! "

December 5, 2019

4.0

OneNote has helped me with organization the most! When my boss has several different things for me to accomplish for the business, OneNote makes things so much easier to keep track of! I can also send any documents to him if I need too

Pros

OneNote takes note taking to a whole new level. It allows you to take notes, as well as download files to keep everything in one spot! There are different tabs that make things easier for organization and the fact that you can send your notes wherever you need too, is added bonus!

Cons

At first, it took me a bit to get used to the application and how to use all of the features. Since there are so many, it is kind of time consuming.

### "Cloud Sharing app that is free"

September 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's free, you don't have to pay to experience some of the cool features of Onenote, It's such a good organizing tool for team members with physical office limitations, easy to collaborate sync & share e.t..c

Cons

Synchronization can be slow and the app itself might be a little sluggish, private encryption has been mooted as some of it's drawbacks

August 30, 2022

2.0

I liked the consistency of user interface with out microsoft software like word, powerpoint. But the connectivity and organization of the tabs is messy.

5.0

I would highly recommend this to any organisation that wants to encourage staff to go digital jotting down notes and sharing them

Pros

Ease of use Value for money Less learning time Works well with Tabs and mobile devises

Cons

Archiving is a one of the main pain points I have noticed but when compared with the benefits, this is negligible

Great

Pros

I like the user friendly aspect of it, it was very simple to use.

### "OneNote resembles an advanced adaptation of a scratch pad that i save close for speedy notes."

August 21, 2021

5.0

Easy access, improves transperency, automatic save never loose information, and the best it is free.

Pros

Simple to utilize, has generally excellent functionalities, it is completely incorporated with the Microsoft Office programs, are the data are put away on the cloud, I can alter something on my PC and proceed with it on my portable or tablet.

Cons

It isn't the case simple to use on the beggining, till you get make "notes" inside it, I know a many individuals which didn't relocate to this instrument along these lines.

### "Tough to justify paying due to limited value proposition, but if bundled with MS Office, may have limited usefulness"

January 9, 2019

3.0

Pros

Compatibility with stylus inputs makes this a useful application for tablet and laptop users who either need to draw things (like charts and diagrams) quickly during meetings or classes, rather than just typing. The ability to upload your notes to Microsoft OneDrive and access them everywhere grants cloud freedom.

Cons

For someone who doesn't attend a lot of meetings with a tablet, or who isn't taking notes in a class, it may not be very useful; I had a hard time identifying use cases where I'd integrate it into my workflow, and it often sits unused as part of my Microsoft Office Suite. Apart from jotting notes, which you can get for free with some other programs, it seems easy to forget, and so I wouldn't ultimately pay for it independently, but it may be worth looking into if you already have it as part of a software bundle.

### "Task tracking and organizational tool for work"

January 3, 2019

4.0

Pros

I use it to take notes for work and it allows me to keep thoughts organized with the multi-tab functionality. It also it great for meetings to keep track of current issues, meeting minutes, etc. It is a great organizational tool and it auto-saves so I never have to worry about losing important information.

Cons

So far there have been no issues at all, it is a fantastic tool. It is much better than other note taking applications I have tried in the past.

### "Good software"

August 22, 2018

5.0

Pros

As I travel from one place to another, bringing too much things is difficult so with oneNote I do not need to carry my planner or extra notebook because it serves it purpose well.

Cons

I can't remember any instance that this software or application fails me. Overall, it is a good software indeed.

### "Does what it needs to do"

August 4, 2020

4.0

I like it for what it is for, but I don't like it enough to use it all the time.

Pros

I have used OneNote on and off over the years, but typically go to simpler tools. I imagine it is better on a touch screen device, which I don't have.

Cons

It seems hard to keep things organized across various tabs and notes. Can get messy very quickly, which isn't good.

### "Team Organizational Tool"

June 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like that we can all share and contribute ideas and information to various pages. It updates in real time and no one has to ‘save and get out’

Cons

I have had a little difficulty linking with other users at times. It can be hard to get that done, but could be the OS I was using at the time.
