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 to provide all the most up-to-date items for people to use. I do think they could work on their iPad pro capabilities.

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 interface, or they can download the desktop version of the program and run it on their own personal computers.

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 also failed on sync which caused lost information.

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 applications. Better than any other app because it allows you to tag notes and groups them.

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 devices such as your laptop your tablets and your phones which basically gives that seamless experience.

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 elements like buttons and lists. At the same time, Evernote presents various views, including a very restricted view giving me more notes and less colorful buttons. Microsoft's color scheme also feels less professional than the green/black color design Evernote utilizes. Additionally, I think that Evernote's Ink-Notes feature is more advanced and capable than OneNote's "Ink" feature.

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 of Evernote makes note-taking pleasant.

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.

Google Keep is also a nice solution, it is more basic, but it works good. If you need a personal note-taking application you should consider it as well.

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. It's a little easier to use than Dropbox Business or Google Drive and has more options for collaboration.

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 on a list of ones to consider.

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 Evernote due to its wider range of tools like inserting sketches, tables, different fonts, and tags.

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. Evernote's shared notebooks make it a better choice if collaboration is a requirement.

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.

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.

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 research that they're doing. [A] very versatile tool for organizing personal work backlogs/notes or smaller scale project notes.

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 for problem-solving where I may need materials related to the subject that are categorized in another folder. Honestly, Evernote tags are amazing.

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.
