Microsoft OneNote Reviews & Product Details

I appreciate how Microsoft OneNote integrates with other Microsoft Office products, which helps in keeping my notes and documents connected. I also find the ability to create multilevel/page notes very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find using Microsoft OneNote a bit difficult and confusing. Although setting it up was easy, the program itself is not very intuitive, which contributes to a steep learning curve. Despite being an advanced computer user, I struggle with its interface and features, making it less appealing. I primarily use it because it is part of my company's procedures and standards rather than by choice. If I had the choice, I probably would not buy it again in the future.

I like to keep organized notebooks depending on meeting / project and can effectively find when using the search tool. Easily copy and paste screen shots while taking notes to integrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need a better way to have a shared notebook or sharing options - connect with teams a bit easier / not log users out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OneNote is great for organising notes in a clear, flexible structure. I like how it mimics a physical notebook with tabs and sections, making it easy to manage different topics or projects. It’s also really handy that it syncs across devices, so I can access my notes on my phone, tablet, or computer anytime. The ability to draw, highlight, and insert images or files is a big plus too.

It can feel a bit clunky at times, especially with syncing issues between devices or when working offline. The search function doesn’t always return accurate results, and formatting can be inconsistent if you copy and paste from other sources. Also, if you’re not already familiar with the layout, the interface can be a little overwhelming at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there's nothing about it that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using OneNote for almost 3 years. Basically it is good for tracking our day to day tasks, for managing our TODO list. We can create multiple sections and under each section we can create multiple pages. There are other features like highlighting the text with different colour, inersing the images and so many. Overall it is good. Very frequently I use this tool I mean almost everyday as I manage my TODO list here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really want to mention negative side of this product as I have een using it for almost 3 years. When you want to scroll up or scroll down on the page it is very slow. I have observed it many times.

Also, sometimes when you open a particual page the cursor/control goes directly to the top of the page and it doesn't stay at a place where I left when I close the laptop or even after restart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It keeps me organized and productive. The notebook-section-page structure makes it easy to capture ideas, notes and plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

THe most helpful item about One NOte is that everything is organized in the way that my brain understands. The file sorting systems and ability to make sections is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to be able to have one more level of folders/ sorting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using onenote daily to track my daily ongoing works and followups. It is great that we can add images, diagrams also into the notes to give the context. Due to its sync option, I can access my notes anywhere from any device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There not so much that I did not like but I faced zoom issue recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the best feature of Microsoft OneNote is the flexibility and ease of use in organizing notes across different platforms. The flexibility to create many notebooks, sections, and pages creates a highly structured but highly adaptable means of structuring information. In addition, notes can be accessed on any device with the help of integration with other Microsoft tools and the cloud-based syncing feature-just making everything so much easier. I also really appreciate the rich media support, which allows me to attach images, audio files, and even files directly into my notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don't like about Microsoft OneNote is that, honestly, it's not quite that reliable at syncing, especially if you're one of those folks switching between a number of devices or working offline-those changes take slightly longer to sync across platforms. This can disrupt workflow at times. That being said, the interface, although certainly flexible enough, also feels slightly cluttered, especially for new users. What's more, I think, is how this app, compared to its peers, has limited options for something more advanced than basic formatting in creating polished documents directly within the app. Lastly, the arranging and reordering of pages within sections would make more sense.
