OneNote Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use OneNote in my organization to share information about processes and applications that are shared across teams. It is very helpful to have a centralized spot to have documentation that can be viewed and edited by everyone that needs it. The app allows the data to be well organized and jotted down quickly.

I really like how easy it is to take quick notes and have them be synced across multiple devices. Being able to fall back on reliable documentation is valuable.

Wikis can get a little tricky as you can only go a few levels deep. More levels would allow for better organization when needed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When switching between WFH and Office environments it’s important that I have a way to access the notes I take in an environment vs the other. In addition, it’s quite nice to have sub categories to organize the notes per a topic (e.g. epic, feature, tool, etc) plus pages with specific topics relative to each epic, feature, tool, etc. e.g. meeting A about Feature X, discussion B about Tool Y. Having extra features like check boxes are quite helpful as well. Another thing I like is that the paragraphs are not linear which means you can create a new paragraph anywhere.

Another great approach is to share notes for one-on-ones because it brings a dynamic page to collaborate.

Having the content stored on cloud helps when switching between environments like when working from home versus working in the office.

Sharing one-on-one notes is quite handful because trackable items can added with a checkbox. Lots of iconography are available to make the content more accessible / engaging / readable.

The loose paragraphs that you can add anywhere are useful once you understand how to use them but it can be annoying sometimes until you get the hang of it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

OneNote serves as a personal notebook to make sure that you are able to make notes.

It can come handy in many ways.

While mostly it is for notes relating to work, for example meeting notes, plans, etc, but more importantly, it also serves as a safe and secure place to allow you to add more personal notes, whether they are notes from one-on-ones with colleagues, or general personal planning.

It also helps that there are apps for nearly every device, be it a Windows machine, a Mac, an iPad or your phone.

If you are already using Microsoft Office 365 products at your work place, use of OneNote is pretty much a no brainer. The only reason to use an alternative would be if you already have a library of notes in some other product. Otherwise, I think OneNote is the most obvious choice at no extra cost.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use OneNote for all sorts of note-taking. This includes meeting minutes, brainstorming ideas, to-do lists, etc. By leveraging OneNote's features such as collaboration and integration with other Microsoft tools, it enables us to improve our overall productivity and streamline our workflows. Creating dedicated notebooks helps with categorizing everything for efficiency.

Likelihood to Recommend

OneNote is well-suited for all sorts of note-taking, whether it's meeting minutes or class notes. It also works well as a personal journal. For creative individuals, it works great as a sketchbook. On the other hand, it does not have advanced formatting options and is not the best for collaboration on complex documents.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used it for content development within Teams. Separated out different projects in the tabs etc. it was alright, the only thing that was tricky is that the syncing wasn’t as real time as we would’ve hoped.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for Marketing teams who cannot invest in more robust programs like Notion. If you need something easy and really simple that’s integrated into Teams.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Being a Managed Services Provider I need to take a lot of notes and store most of them. I wanted software that would replace having to use so much paper and than having those papers filed away which takes time and valuable space in a one room office. OneNote solves all of that by being my only note taking software as well as organizing all my notes in digital notebooks.

Likelihood to Recommend

OneNote is best for individuals or organizations that want to reduce paper and paper storage such as notebooks and binders. Also good for those that need access to such notes on the go using a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop. May not work well if the notes you have are highly confidential and contain sensitive information.

OneNote helps with department-wide collaboration on projects and meetings. The notebooks sync quickly allowing multiple users to see edits and notes in real-time. The ability to add attachments, photos, and links, all in one place helps with organization. It also works very well as a task list/checklist with the ability to flag tasks that will sync to outlook and provide reminders. There is also the option to add checkboxes, images, and highlighting for visual reminders.
