Honestly, Trello is my favorite now that I've been using it, but Evernote is a strong close contender. It is an easy to use program and has premium features for a price. I think that there are now really good competitors in the market and they should ensure that they are able …

Evernote is presently the most beneficial solution available when it comes to note-taking software that may be utilized for group assignments. Evernote can be used for both individual and group projects. Evernote is a tool for capturing notes that users may use via a web-based …

Google and Microsoft (told by a friend) are better options than Evernote. Even free account of Google Keep and Microsoft one drive offers more options than the Evernote free account.
Chose Evernote
Evernote's simplicity far exceeds OneNote's. OneNote is clunky when entering information into a note. It is hard to position your cursor and format your notes. Also, the search is not as intuitive as Evernotes, the results are very messy and hard to sort through. It has …

Google Keep does not require 15GB of storage and stores notes in small files. OneNote works well with Microsoft Office apps like Outlook and PowerPoint. In addition to supporting handwritten, the web clipper functionality of Evernote distinguishes it from other note-taking …

I would say that Evernote stacks up really well against its competitors because it gives you a lot of features and functionality that would always keep the bar very high for the other products to reach. especially I love the feature where it can be available across multiple …

Slack is excellent for team collaboration but is not as good for keeping track of and searching notes. The notion has more advanced features and a more pleasing UX but can be harder to learn.
Chose Evernote
Previously, I worked on OneNote a few times since it has released but have never really liked the software. Microsoft's OneNote interface is far too big and cumbersome for my low-resolution on tablets. OneNote's UI takes up about half the screen with wasted space between …
Chose Evernote
Evernote is a better product than OneNote because it is not attached to an organization with other apps. Evernote allows the user freedom to create notes without looking cluttered. Although it does not have features to clip notes from websites that I have seen, the sleek design …
Chose Evernote
Microsoft OneNote is very similar to Evernote, and I think that the free version of OneNote is even better, but the users in our company preferred to use Evernote. You might check if Microsoft OneNote free version is good enough for your needs, it might save you some money.

Chose Evernote
Evernote is more user friendly and flows better during collaboration events as long as everyone in your team is using it. Organization of files, reports, photos and even video files has been helpful with Evernote and the program makes it easy to send those files to coworkers. …
Chose Evernote
The most similar program I have used is OneNote by Microsoft, and other note taking programs exist like Notepad and Microsoft Word but those programs do not offer syncing like Evernote does. There are newer programs in the space like Dropbox Paper and Google Docs which would be …

Zoho Projects and notebook are a simple tool compared to Evernote, allowing for collaboration, note making, and organizing notes. I used to use it earlier as it also has more advanced features for time management and responsibility division. However, I eventually stuck with …
Chose Evernote
I have also used Google Keep; they are both similar products although Google Keep is more web-based and lends itself to being more portable than Evernote. However, when it comes to the richness of features, Evernote certainly wins out and can do a lot more than Google Keep. …
Chose Evernote
I've used one-note in the past, but selected ever note this time because it was easy to sync on non-microsoft machines
Chose Evernote
I stuck with Evernote as I started using and liked it. I think OneNote is also great but I don't like the fact that it is tied to your corporate account which sometimes has a risk of losing data when you change firms. Also, exporting notes is easier in OneNote.
Chose Evernote
At its core, it's simply a space to take and store notes, but it can be integrated with every major note tablet maker and even works with cheaper Amazon tablets
Chose Evernote
I haven't really used any other similar products because I've been very pleased with Evernote and never had a reason to try anything else.
Chose Evernote
I have tried using Apple notes and Samsung notes, and they are also pretty good products, but both of those products don't work if you ever switch from an Apple device to a Samsung or vice versa, so Evernote is the best because it works on both platforms really well.
Chose Evernote
I like the app format.

I like that the account belongs to me (and not my company) so I can use it for personal information
Chose Evernote
The only other tool that is close to this is Microsoft notes. But it really doesn't compare in terms of feature and ease of use
Chose Evernote
Evernote has a nicer UI that makes taking notes really easy and pleasant. We do use OneNote for cases where we need MS Teams integration, but for personal note-taking, many individuals across the organization will use Evernote to organize their meeting notes as well as …

Evernote is not a great cloud drive or to-do list tool. However, Evernote allows one to organize resources in a way none of the other tools do. I can search in Evernote based on tags which is something I cannot do in a cloud drive (at least not that I know). This is important …

Eleven years ago, nothing stacked up to Evernote and it's capabilities. I did test out OneNote a few times since it's inception but have never really liked the software. Microsoft's OneNote interface is far too large and bulky for my low-resolution TabletPC. OneNote's …

Evernote is an excellent tool for keeping track of client relationships and taking notes. The indexing is excellent, with text in images and text. However, a Wiki might be better for large-scale collaboration. It is a perfect use case for it, and it is hard to beat. To-do lists that need to be tracked or have due dates assigned do not work well in Evernote. It's almost like a library that anyone can add to, edit, tag, and reference. Evernote has a limited checklist function in terms of tasks meant to be kept in one place rather than reviewed and organized over time.

Cons
Evernote
  • The free application's feature will meet most users needs, but the Premium plan is expensive.
  • Though Evernote lets you create and manage notes effortlessly, its basic plan supports sync between two devices and does not support offline mode.
  • Can't export data easily to other applications.

I can't really imagine how much they'd have to charge me to make me quit Evernote. I can't really think of any technology that has changed my life as much without going back to email in the 90s, or the introduction of the iPhone. I know I sound ridiculous, but it would be really tough for me to live without it. If I were forced to choose between my smart phone (and keep in mind that I get lost in my driveway) and my Evernote, I'd probably choose my Evernote.

Usability
Evernote
  • Basic visual organization - ability to create a notebook and store user notes inside of it.
  • Basic easy navigation - You can quickly move in and out of files and notes.
  • User intuitive addition - whatever you need to add to your document, it's relatively easy to understand and use.
  • We find overall that we still want some functionality in creating better task lists, boards, and other things that we find in Notion - which is the tool that we use as a team notebook/storage space.

Generally issues are by connectivity and not Evernote availability but I have had issues in the past with cross-client consistency of data which Evernote Support has ID'd as bugs that are still unresolved as far as I know

I bet you won’t even need to call their support. Their product has never failed me. Simply put. But if you were to email them to gather some details or help, I bet they won’t disappoint you. Don’t worry about the support, it’s the last thing you should worry about this product.

Make sure you think about your tags. If you end up with multiple similar tags then things aren't grouped together as you might prefer. For instance if you have a tag called Disney and Walt Disney, this will split up your articles. Evernote makes it simple to correct, but I suggest you make sure your users look closely at the existing tags before creating new ones.

Return on Investment
Evernote
  • Evernote has allowed our school's over 3000 students and staff members to work more efficiently instead of spending time on making physical notes, clicking pictures, and uploading them to the cloud in order to share them
  • The investment in Evernote Premium has also allowed for heavier files to be attached in each note such as student work that allows teachers to be certain that students have followed deadlines and finished assigned tasks
  • Evernote has allowed our school to smoothly transition in and out of online learning as the local COVID-19 protocols change and student work requires one platform to be based on throughout
