### "All in One Place"

January 25, 2022

5.0

Pros

What I appreciate about one note is that I have all my thoughts and notes consolidated in one place.

Cons

The challenges with one note are my own, I just haven't come up with a routine to use it as I forget. But once I remember that this is available to me it really allows me a space to organize my thoughts.

Pros

free on PC, solid for basic note taking, formatting, and jotting down some quick ideas. Easy to get started with

Their mac app is bad, and i don't know if there's an iOS version. Evernote and other competitors are much more fully functional and are also free.

### "one note"

December 3, 2021

due to the nature of the office business, the least liked is that I have to l have to log onto the software and at times I just want to get a quick look at a note but the program is great and I do recommend it to others

Pros

the ease of use for this software is a pleasure. Notes can be saved easily and found and edited with just a few clicks

### "OneNote"

August 26, 2020

5.0

OneNote allows people on our team to create notes and easily share/edit them between the group.

Pros

Like the rest of Microsoft Office, OneNote has a ton of features and integration with existing Microsoft software, making going between programs like excel and word nearly seamless. In addition it lets you draw, write, and even add audio/video recordings.

Cons

This one is difficult because there really aren't too many cons I can think of for OneNote, maybe the only one I can think of is that it's not more well known/widespread, but that really isn't a fault of the software itself.

### "Great as a collaborative to do list"

September 1, 2016

4.5

Pros

We use this in office to manage collaborative to do lists. We have a separate one for each department. It's very easy for us to manage and get everything done. Very easy to comment and manage/set goals. Keeps us organized for all around office tasks.

Cons

It was a little difficult learning how to use the program and sometimes it's a little glitchy when syncing accounts/data. Some employees have reported issues logging in and connecting.

### "Fantastic tool for note taking"

February 16, 2018

4.0

Highly recommend for people wanting to get rid of their physical notebook and have all their notes filed digitally.

Pros

The interface is intuitive, the notebook metaphor makes it familiar and particularly useful for note taking on my iPad Pro with a pencil.

Cons

Synching is not always successful. This area feels buggy. But when it works it's magical (seeing writing appear on my MacBook while I'm writing on my iPad is cool).

### "Taking notes it can be as funny as you want"

August 7, 2022

4.0

I tried to switch from Google Keep, but I couldn't, but, it's still a fun way to take notes

Pros

You can take notes in many ways: drawing, writing or whatever you want.

Cons

Switching from other notes apps makes it feel weird, and even more if your used to them

### "I must prefer you to purchase it"

August 13, 2022

4.0

Pros

It provides an information-gathering tool, and automatically syncs and saves your data as notes. It also provides an amazing feature or multi-user collaboration.

Cons

First thing is that it is limited to searching through the notes. Facing difficulty in adding the documents which are created in other application If you are new to Microsoft Office 365 it seems to be complicated for you.

### "OK for notes if you already use other Microsoft products"

August 25, 2022

3.0

Pros

We occasionally use OneNote for sharing notes as a team. I like the sharing capabilities. You can create a link with specific permissions.

Cons

There are much better note taking apps. OneNote has basic features, not much customization and not that seamless to use.

### "Simple which is great, and not so great"

October 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

Microsoft one note is simple enough to approach, you can add as many tabs as you want and drop files on a whim. very easy to organize and share with other users. It also has basic drawing capabilities.

Cons

its so simple it sometimes feels like it cant do anything. I have found that one note is good for static , never changing information to share with others. But if you are like me and you prefer to be able to clearly separate information by type as well with sub folder organizing then One note won't do the job in my opinion.

December 6, 2018

4.0

### "Fantastic Software!"

September 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

One Note is fantastic, it really helps with my work because my colleagues are out of state and if we have a common project, it helps organize us on the fly so that when we make our presentation together, we're all on the same page.

Cons

I can't think of any, One Note has been wonderful and we will continue to use it whenever we collaborate on large presentations.
