    Milanote
    Milanote works great for scheduling work-related trips, events and/or photoshoots. Photoshoots in particular are easier to coordinate with Milanote because of the ability to build a board that functions like a calendar with multiple boards and links inside. The level of collaboration helps my team to organize events and check items off of our checklists in a timely manner.

    Usability
    Open Source
    Mostly, it is wonderful. However, the search could be easier to use. I use the Markdown editor, which can be made very easy to use, but is really needed to get the most out of Joplin. If you are unwilling to use Markdown, don't use Joplin.

    Milanote is extremely user friendly and easy to learn. I have been able to add new users to our plan with little to no training and they were able to easily integrate themselves into the program. Once a user has been able to navigate through the software in its entirety, they are able to use it with little to no training.

    I left Evernote many, many years ago, but was very happy with the move to Joplin and much prefer it.

    I think Milanote stacks pretty well. Lucidchart is great for outlining processes, whereas Milanote is excellent for creative mind-mapping and marketing presentations.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • I write my newsletter with it.
    • I use it to monitor my billing - Getting money has a high ROI.
    • Client notes. Hard to know what the ROI is for knowing what the client last had a problem with, but I assume it is part of why I've kept the same clients for decades.

    • The positive impact is the ability to outline projects that I share with the team as it saves time from having to use PowerPoint.
