I've only used Notepad for taking notes and Asana for to-do lists. Notepad was ineffective because I had to go to the folder which I kept each of the different customers' files, and I couldn't be able to attach images in them. Asana is good for to-do lists for my purposes, but it's not like a notebook.

We migrated to Evernote whenever our office started using macs. The user functionality was roughly the same - and we found it easy to understand and use.

We use Notion.so more frequently now - this allows our office to have an internal hub, a place for journal entries/lists/ and media. It's more visually driven and organized (for creatives that have a visual memory), and the search function is easier to use. Overall, as a team, we're getting more functionality out of Notion.so, but we still appreciate Evernote for its usage as well.

Overall visibility and control are there. The ability to collaborate is important and key. We used to use MS OneNote but had a lot of issues with tracking. And hence when we evaluated Evernote as well, the whole perspective of notes changed.

I've used Bear and Apple's default Notes app pretty extensively. Neither are as polished or have the feature set that Evernote does specific to teams and collaboration. I believe this is intentional on both sides, but a notable difference to be sure.

I used Evernote because of the mobile app features. It has a great easy to use platform and can be used on a variety of devices and it syncs with all of them. It is a lot better than a workbook, and I like being able to save documents and items I want or need to review later, without having it in my email or in places where I get distracted so easily.

Evernote and OneNote are two platforms I use interchangeably for note taking and organization. OneNote is great for Microsoft users and department-wide communication and file sharing. I prefer using Evernote for quick note taking and meeting jotting during phone calls in particular due to the easy format. Both have pros and cons.

While not apples for apples, both Google Drive and Wunderlist have similarities to Evernote. Google Drive does an equally good job at storing and share files while Wunderlist makes is super easy to make lists. Both Google Drive and Wunderlist are searchable, but neither are able to search at the granular level that Evernote can. One of the other primary reasons we started using Evernote was the ability to take notes during a meeting, scan or snap a photo of those notes, and then later be able to search for them by keywords we may have written on that notepad that day. This is can not be achieved in Google Drive or Wunderlist.

Evernote is a very simple collaboration tool. It was first in the market and provided a great cross-platform solution to share notes. However, other tools like OneNote, Slack, Dropbox, and Box provided easier solutions. Evernote could not keep up with the trends and innovation. Bundling other features like chat and emails would definitely help.

Google Drive is what I used to use for note-taking. It was good because it has good collaboration, but it is not nearly as organized, and it not aesthetic. Evernote is also better on mobile devices. I would use Evernote because it takes care of most of the organization.

Box was too expensive for the features. OneDrive and iCloud are catching up but have limited storage and no Web Clipping function nor internal document search. SugarSync was more of a backup solution than an indexing tool.

We use Google Drive in addition to Evernote. The most comparable product within that suite would be Google Docs. Evernote is better than Docs as it has more of a full plethora of features that allow for notes to be rich with content. Evernote is also great to start a note on your iPhone and then pick up from where you left off on your desktop computer.

Compared to the other applications I've used to make notes, Evernote has more built-in features and versatility made specifically for making notes and organizing them. Rather than using documents and keeping up with your finder organization, you can do that all within one app. Better tools for specific purposes allow for better efficiency. I would say there are few apps out there with as much bang for the buck when it comes to note-making.

As hard as it was to get Evernote set up to my liking until I took a course, I felt like OneNote allowed too much freedom. It aspired to be a true digital notebook, letting you place text and images wherever you want on a page. I prefer more structure, so Evernote felt right to me.

I've only used Evernote and feel confident in the functionality and performance. I've never had the need to look anywhere else and think Evernote is far more supreme to other options offering similar features. It's worth taking a look at it, weighing it against your business needs and going for a test drive.

I find it easier to use Evernote than Google Drive on my phone, so it's helpful for making notes on the go, both for work and personally. The one feature of Google Drive that I wish Evernote had is simultaneous editing.

As a professional, I chose to spend my own money on Evernote because it gives me the most value for the cost. Microsoft Office 365 is so prevalent in the workplace, that I expect that my employer would pay for that service. Dropbox for Business is incredibly expensive for what it offers—but, is a very reliable and usable product. In the end though, Evernote is affordable and a good tool for a professional to use from one workplace to the next.
