Chose Gavel
Easy to use as GUI is very user-friendly and meets all the expectations of someone who needs to take care of their documents.
Google Keep
Chose Google Keep
Google Keep and Evernote share many of the same functions and features, and for some tasks, Evernote offers more features that may make it preferable. However, Google Keep is light, simple, easy to understand, and generally very easy to work with, whereas Evernote is much more …
Chose Google Keep
It is lighter than Evernote and OneNote. It is also faster and easier to use I like that it is multiplatform and the functionality is the same.
Chose Google Keep
I used to use Evernote before Google Keep, it is an excellent product too but I found it too heavy. At the time (not sure about now) it always wanted to download all your notes onto your device before you can start using it. Google Keep is more a cloud product, so it's lighter …
Chose Google Keep
Free version of Evernote can only be available on two devices per user. The app has different functions depending on the device it i being used. Evernote keeps directing users to upgrade to a paid version. It allows "clipping" an entire webpage, and adding portions of it to the …
Chose Google Keep
The only other thing I have used are notes within a doc but this is much more convenient and easy to look at.
Chose Google Keep
Task apps built into iOS just don't compete. The only edge these have over Google Keep is Siri can schedule something for you. But the power and flexibility of Google Keep is better.
Chose Google Keep
The main differential of Google Keep is its simplicity and efficiency for quick notes. I can draw on the card, put a photo, record audio if I can't write at the moment, in short, for everyday tasks, simple things, it is superior.
Chose Google Keep
I believe Google Keep does a great job stacked up against the other competitors. Evernote has a bit more synchronicity between other software and a very strong OCR technology but Google Keep holds its own as a free, easy-to-use note-taking app. I have used all three of these …
Chose Google Keep
Dropbox is more user-friendly. Better user interface. Easy to maintain.
Chose Google Keep
I prefer Google Keep over every other simple note-taking app. I prefer the interface and ease of use. Live tiles make for a much neater and easier to use interface than anything else. Easier to see precisely what's there when I open the app, lists are easy to make and keep …
Chose Google Keep
As I've mentioned earlier, Google Keep is less feature-rich then the above two alternatives. OneNote is a paid app and Evernote, my biggest reason for leaving that program is the syncing between devices didn't work well at times and somehow I created two logins and didn't know …

Windows or Mac works well, and making client-based documents is flawless because of its customization ability.

It is the perfect companion for storing all those little bits of information you need to do your job well, the best thing is getting it all out of your head and in to Google Keep. You can trust it to hold that information for you, and you know you can go back and use its excellent search functionality to find that information at a later date. It can also work really well for your personal life as well. I have two accounts, my work account and my personal account - I use them both in different contexts but I have always found Google Keep is great for both.

Pros
  • More control over our data
  • Ability to customize it as per our needs
  • Cross platform work like Windows and Mac is good
Read full review
  • It's incredibly quick to load, it doesn't take long to pull up any note you have no matter how much information is in the note.
  • The ability to collaborate on a Google Keep note is also great! It allows for two or more of you to work on a project in one space.
  • I also love that I can color coordinate. I can make all my meeting notes one color, my personal notes another color and so on.
  • Enjoying the pinning feature that allows me to keep my important notes right at the top so I don't have to go searching for them when needed.

Cons
  • Adding more examples for help
  • Nothing more as it is such a good software
Read full review
  • I'm not sure what happens when different team members try to update at the same time.
  • They could let us know, during setup or something, what happens when different team members try to update at the same time, so we are not in doubt.
  • They could let us adjust the colors of the text, especially check lists where checked off items become very dim. We would like to make checked off items a different color, but still more visible.

They made it simple for anyone to use. There are no complicated steps involved to create a note, edit a note, or search for a specific item located in a note. They also made it simple to share it with others, making it easy to collaborate. Google kept it basic without a thousand "bells and whistles" to overcomplicate it.

I gave this rating based on the ease of use, the simple functionality and how well it does at keeping my attention and helping me continue to use it and stay on track. The functionality mentioned before alongside the reminder functions and how it utilizes Google's powerful machine learning tech to better its software is remarkable.
