Pros Mi è piaciuto molto di Microsoft OneNote la possibilità di integrazione con i servizi della Microsoft, tra cui l'ho utilizzato molto per i progetti creati con PowerPoint dandomi la possibilità di scrittura a mano, veramente molto preciso è utile. Cons Di Microsoft OneNote ho riscontrato problemi con la sincronizzazione nel Cloud, delle volte ho provato ad aprire un file aperto in PowerPoint mi ha dato problemi, premetto che il file non era danneggiato è veniva aperto tranquillamente, però una volta aperto e salvato mi faceva uscire con un errore di salvataggio molto fastidioso, tramite alcuni forum sono riuscito a capire che bisognava disattivare la sincronizzazione nel Cloud e il problema veniva risolto del resto da lavorarci su questo problema.

It's like having a binder online with multiple subjects and different pages for different topics. Pros I love that you can make separate notebooks with different subjects for different things. I also love that you can share notebooks or pages that you have created. Cons I don't like that sometimes it is hard to fix things once they are deleted.

Data Analyst Industrial Automation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable note taking and task management app" July 31, 2024 5.0 Pros As a note taking app I find OneNote more useful and with more features than other apps. I used to use Evernote, but there were to many restrictions and not too many options for notes categorization. With OneNote one has not only the Notebook entity, but also the sections within each Notebook and the pages within each section. This tree structure on 3 levels allows for a quite flexible approach when it comes to notes categorization. Another critical feature is the Search function: allowing to search across all notebooks and pages. As for task management, I find OneNote easier to use to store my to do's with additional info (text and images). This is very useful when working on individual projects and not having to switch to other apps. OneNote can work as a mood board, note taking, task management, reminders, even password management (you can password protect a particular section) Cons The sync process could benefit from some improvements: as in the notebooks to be created by default in OneDrive or SharePoint. There are scenarios where the notebooks are created locally, then in order to sync one needs to put it manually on OneDrive or SharePoint. Switched from [Evernote Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/154969/Evernote-Business/) It's easier to have all info and tasks in one place, without restrictions on how many devices the app is being used Review Source AH Aaron H.

Moving to a hybrid position, this makes it very easy to have access to my notes whether I am in office or at home. Easy to organize with different customers and keeping everything organized! Pros Love the tabs you can make in your notes, keeps you very organized. Backing up my notes so I can have them regardless of what happens to my computer gives me great peace of mind! Cons Sometimes I will get slightly annoyed by not being able to easily make a new text box within a note sheet. Could be a me issue but sometimes I click away and it just extends my text box to one giant box. Review Source MC Mihaela C. Head Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for teachers ! " August 15, 2024 5.0 Very usefull for day to day teaching, seach option of past materials.

It is light years better than using a paper and pen. I have my notes everywhere. I never have to worry about forgetting them. Pros Having multiple different notebooks/tabs for different purposes. Using it seamlessly on different devices. Cons I wish I could create tables more efficiently. The copy and paste function does not work as well as excel, though I often need to have tables to organize my notes.

My co-worker all share a OneNote where we are able to input our thoughts and work with eachother when we don't see eachother face to face. Pros OneNote has one of the best formats of notetaking compared to a traditional pen and paper. Its adaptable for for school and work note taking. It's the perfect app to use to contribute with a group of people if you want to share your note or combine notes together. Cons The only issue I have with OneNote is if you're using the website compared to the app there's more styling feature on the website that you can't use on the app. Review Source SL Stephanie L.

December 17, 2024 4.0 Pros I love all the options OneNote has, and is really customizable as far as adding pages. Both the dictate and transcribe features are really helpful!

Cons Onenote has only been able to set one default font for so many years. You cannot set different fonts for Chinese and English, and you cannot adjust them with one click later. You can only manually adjust the English fonts one by one, which to a certain extent drives you to obsessive-compulsive disorder. Review Source AA Alberto A.
