Microsoft OneNote Pros and Cons

So I have used several organisational apps. I've paid for them and grown frustrated with the extra costs. Microsoft one note alleviated all of that. You can create templates and various formulas to stream line your productivity. Project management? No issue. Manuscript planning and dissection? No problem. Best thing ever .

I wish you could download more templates but I created my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OneNote, an integral component of the Microsoft 365 Suite, stands as a very good tool in my daily engineering works. Its capabilities offer value, versatile note-taking, planning, and organizating. With cloud integration and collaborative work becomes effortless. Additionally, OneNote facilitates diverse media integration, from handwritten notes and taking snapshots and orginizing them in different sections. This versatile platform transforms data management and fosters nice collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit frustrating when adding different texts, and try to organize them as onenote wont understand that you need to organize them in a certain way like word or excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OneNote for me, has become the most valuable app in the entire Microsoft 365 Suite offering. I use this amazingly powerful app all day every day. It is well worth viewing a few YouTube videos on the incredible array of built-in features.You will find fantastic organizing and time-saving uses that will truly surprise you. First this is a one-stop for all notes, thoughts and planning organization. I create a "Notebook" for each organization or major project. Then "Folders" for each ongoing topic, and within the folders "Pages" for notes. The pages can be organized in an outline style with indented subpages to better organize conversations, plans, ideas, activity. This can be stored in the cloud and accessed on any Apple or Android device as well as PC, and all synchronize for simultaneous use! OneNote is on my iPhone, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Samsung Tablet, Dell laptop, MacBook & Desktop PC and all share the same information and notebooks.

You can hand write text and convert to fonts, make drawings, record both audio and video and embed in any page. For example, you can place a mic and or cameera in a conference room and record the entire meeting.

OneNote links with all other Microsoft Office apps and you can embed Word, Excel, Publisher files and more into OneNote. You can email pages or clips or provide access to the entire notebook to others for collaboration. You can insert virtually any file including PDFs, images, video, audio and even program files into any page. There is a Translation tool that can translate text or a full page. You can perform both screen clipping and screen recording. There is a Transcribe tool that not only converts speech to text, but can also take a search term and point to the appropriate place in the recording. You can have multiple authors and quickly locate items by author. Each page can be custom formated with templates for a variety of different uses. The layout is customizable for location of page & folder tabs as well as toolbar selections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OneNote automatically saves each notebook by default in OneDrive locations that over time can vary. I have multiple OneDrive accounts due to business and personal Office and email accounts and knowing which one to look for when opening notebooks can require a bit of research. However, you can move the files to a preferred location. Over time as the product expands and grows I've found little to complain about! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about OneNote is how easy it is to use compared to other apps, where you might need to watch a tutorial to fully understand all the options. Also, I love that with OneNote, I can easily access my notes anywhere using just my Microsoft account. I use it to store important notes, business plans, and to keep vital information organized.

I've been using OneNote for what feels like forever, and I honestly don't have any complaints. The interface is simple and easy to understand. It's pretty straightforward, and I've never encountered a complication while using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much to dislike about Microsoft OneNote, we always had a great experience and found the app to be more than useful. If I still have to pick a negative point- while using basic features is easy, but it might need some education to use OneNote to its fullest potential Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OneNote keeps us organized and allows us to keep all of our meeting notes and brainstorming in one place no more searching through people's hard drives or other storage locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We needed a space to create forms and share them via email to make it easy to collect information from clients.

It's keeping everything organized for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we try to send our notes via email in a PDF format, if would not keep the information in the right place. So it takes us longer because we have to do it manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This can be touted as the-best notes app especially if you're into Microsoft Surface devices ecosystem. Like in my case scenario I use the Surface Pro 8 along with my Surface Duo and a common slim-pen between both the devices. If you love wrting with a pen you won't find anything better.

Every software has some or other drawbacks or flaws, but one of which I really like improvement on is on the part of writing with pen. The strokes arent that smooth I mean there's still room for improvement. One of the best smooth strokes I found was with the notes app on Samsung with s-pen.

One note is available across all the professional tools in Office 365 like microsoft Outlook and team used across in all meetings. One note is very useful with its ability to sync online at greater speed. It also has cool and detailed user interface and offers more options like adding sections and pages.

It does not have few options from Microsoft excel which can be added so that the numbers and data pasted or wrote in Onenote files can be counted easy. It does not allows screenshots to be pasted in some occasion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
