I used to love Evernote for business and personal to document anything and everything, I had a paid plan but then the amount went up dramatically. I feel that Evernote has priced themselves out of the market. I now use notion.app. I can write my notes and search for notes later, so far it is working well. Once I went to Free Evernote, I was bombarded to sign back up for a mere yearly fee of $159 if I do personal and $209 if I do business (of course they offer a lower one-time deal that will go away ...but oddly enough I see it again and again). In my opinion, it's not worth the value I get from the tool nor the hassle of the pop-ups to buy the product.

To take notes and organize thoughts. I use it for projects and ensuring that I keep the most up to date information available. It is a great sourcing tool between teammates. It is also a great organization tool for having information that needs to be relayed quickly.

Evernote is the most effective tool for creative thinking in our company. Our initial goal is to examine potential ideas before anybody starts working on the project. People may readily submit their thoughts and trade them with one another without fear of losing their distinctive content. Evernote's design concepts encourage users to arrange their material into lists and to write in handwritten form. One benefit of these design concepts is the possibility to combine notes with other programs such as Microsoft Teams or email sharing.

I got to know about this app when I first procured my smartphone. It is a one-stop solution for all your needs in today's fast-moving life for organizing, task management, saving your ideas, etc. It helps us manage meetings, archive notes of all meetings, take notes both through typing as well as audio, even text in photographs is also recognized which is of great help and avoids retyping of handwritten notes.

Currently using Evernote for the following.
  1. Tracking customer information - Systems, work that needs done, projects.
  2. Various notes that arise while reading that are applicable resources. Then the ability to search when needed.
  3. ToDo lists.
  4. Presentation texts - The ability to easily see immediate updates on devices makes it an easy tool for keeping information at hand.

A small group of people only uses Evernote within our company. It serves both as a place for group brainstorming and keeping track of daily tasks. Using it, we've been able to collaborate and brainstorm from anywhere. Evernote is easy to integrate with other apps, making it even more portable. We got what we wanted because I enjoy writing notes, and this program does just that. This program allows us to centralize all of our data. This program is ideal for project managers and users who use multiple devices to access their notes. I began posting my notes online to make them available to others.

In my organization we have been using Evernote for the last two years and it is being currently used across multiple departments and line of businesses. The major business problem that we are trying to address using Evernote is to track everything that we do on a day to day basis. I personally use Evernote to record the date and time and the purpose of a meeting or a conference that I attend and then I used the bullet point function to keep a track of the conversations.

Evernote helps me keep track of segments of computer code to allow me to reuse them quickly and easily. It is quick and easy to both save and access notes, and the range of note types is excellent. I recommend it to my clients as well when they are looking for a pure-play note-keeping platform.

The organisation uses the Evernote Business with shared workspace and centralised billing under a single organisation account. In the time of work from home, sharing notes, decision-making charts, and tasks can be made easier through Evernote. It helps the employees to get a better understanding of others.
Also, as our organisation has a strict policy concerning privacy and security, all conversations between employee application and servers are done over SSL.

Evernote is suggested to use as a personal note-taking for employees. It is a step above the notes app on your mobile device. It is really good to keep a digital notebook in the cloud. It helps keep track on client progress as you can have a different page within a folder for each.

Evernote is used as a "notes" application, enables us to write advanced notes (not only text, but also reminders, images or files) and share and discuss notes with other users. It actually enables us to manage all the notes and never lose them :-). One advantage is that there is a web application that can be accessed from the PC when you need to order all the notes (it's easier doing it in the computer).

Evernote is used by the Engineering Department along with our Rocketbooks. We take notes in our reusable Rocketbooks, then scan and upload to Evernote where we can organize the notes and share with other members in the department who were not able to attend a meeting. We also use it to collaborate on projects within the department.

Evernote is being used by many students across my organization. It provides a system through which teachers and students can collaborate digitally and teachers can check whether students are making notes in class and paying attention, even in these difficult times where a teacher cannot check a student's notebook physically due to the COVID-19 situation in my country.

Evernote is used in our organization for storing technical notes, that would be in real terms in shared notebooks and in each software developer's notebook. At the moment, I am only aware of it being used by the Information Technology Services department and not the entire organization. It initially solved the need for storing troubleshooting information and common resolutions to programming issues in one place. However, we are now moving more towards a wiki for this purpose.

Evernote is not the wide scale system solution for note taking, but many people have opted to use it on their own personal machines. It helps users capture notes in real time when engaging in conversations. With the latest release, it became a bit harder to share the notes with non-ever note account users, and this was disruptive to the workflow for many. Overall great notetaking product - but a little bit difficult to translate those notes to actionable follow-ups.

Used by certain individuals for note-taking across multiple devices. Not available company-wide. I personally started using it based on a colleague's recommendation and fell in love. The fact that it keeps your notes synced across all devices is what makes it very useful for people who constantly switch between devices especially while they travel.

We started using Evernote because our IT department was taking seperate training and we had to cross train each other afterwards and needed a place to store notes centrally. We chose Evernote because they had a scanner that allowed us to scan our notes and save them online for each other to see.

Several members of our company use Evernote to keep notes and organize documentation. In particular, our department used to use Evernote to aggregate, organize and review research papers, blogs, and websites related to the current projects. And to actually extract ideas that will eventually become the base of our efforts and ideas.

Evernote isn't officially adopted by our organization, although I've been using it for years as a personal productivity tool. It is a great tool for collecting research, organizing information, and keeping track of notes, etc.

I used Evernote at this job to take notes when I was in meetings on my mobile device and iPad and then be able to see those notes later from my computer and edit and update those notes later. Evernote helped eliminate paper needs for notetaking for me, and I was able to always use a device that I had on me at any time which made it really convenient.

I use Evernote to keep track of all of the various initiatives, projects and ongoing meetings I have.
I also use it personally to keep track of my own things in a seperate notebook. I find it super convenient to have all of the information in one place organized by topic, or even by person. I can access the context in my computer or my phone so i never lose access when I need it.

It's being used across the department and in different departments across the organization as well. Mostly it's being used on an individual and team level to share meeting notes/minutes as well as to supplement overall planning discussions. It addresses the need to store, search, retrieve and share notes across team members as well as to be able to search and retrieve notes across multiple devices.
