OneNote makes collaboration easy!
We use OneNote throughout the organization for a variety of needs. My department has created product and operation guides using the platform. It is a great collaborative tool as we are all owners of different products and can utilize the workbook feature to create a comprehensive manual that is easily updated and shared to multiple users.
- Offers collaboration for multiple users to work on a product
- Excellent tool for taking notes at a conference
- Keeps documents organized in a searchable manner
- I really don't see any needed areas of improvement
- OneNote has greatly enhanced our collaboration ability to create and share documents.
OneNote is best for business needs. Evernote tends to be better for individual needs in my experience. If I am taking notes in a meeting or on a call, Evernote serves the purpose just fine. OneNote is a better platform for "meatier" projects and workbooks which is what our company uses it for in my experience.
OneNote is used by several of the sales agents in my department as a digital file folder. It becomes home to all the important information needed for a sale: web research, budget projections, proposals, important emails from clients, brochures for the client, and anything essential to the travel project we are working on. It is a wonderful way to combine information from different programs into one location. For example, you can easily read emails and a printout of a spreadsheet without leaving the program.
- Data Gathering - It is extremely easy and efficient to get information into OneNote. Outlook has a button to send emails directly to the program, there are browser add-ons to clip research, and you can print to OneNote from any program. Once in the program, filing the information into the right note/tab is a sinch.
- It is not complicated. Several of my tech-challenged coworkers, use this program with ease. I even hear comments about how much they like it.
- The styling and formatting options of the notes are limited.
- Sizing an embedded spreadsheet is challenging.
- Table columns auto size unnecessarily.
- This product has increased workflow. It is easier to collect information on clients in one spot than our CRM is.
- Using OneNote has eliminated some of the printing files in our office. We're not paperless, but this is a nice way to reduce printing.
- It is nice that is is part of the Office365 suite. It then is not another expenditure.
OneNote has quickly become my notetaking software of choice. It integrates seamlessly with the programs I use on a daily basis for work. Perhaps if I didn't have the program through Office 365 I would still consider Evernote. I find that OneNote has decent search functionality. I had the same type of organizational ramp up like any other note-taking software. Once you answer the question of "now, how do I want to organize my files in this program?" And then understand what your notebooks, tabs, and notes are going to be, you'll be all set.
My entire organization adopted OneNote as a part of our shift to using the new suite of Office 365 applications exclusively. OneNote has helped to streamline collaboration across different organizations and business units at my company. It is an excellent tool for housing and organizing large bodies of information that can be shared with different users or be private. It serves as a scalable option to house anything from meeting notes, agendas etc., across the whole organization.
- OneNote is very easy to navigate and is user-friendly, and Notebooks within the application are convenient to share making it easy to scale to new users who are not familiar with the platform
- I enjoy being able to house meeting notes, agendas and other collateral content for different projects and programs with both individual stakeholders as well as with different project team using different notebooks and sections.
- I can use OneNote to share documents, edit files and collaborate with other stakeholders offline.
- While OneNote is easy to use overall, sharing Notebooks with different stakeholders can be challenging and I often have syncing issues with notebooks that are shared with other users.
- OneNote has had a positive impact on my organization on general and has led to improved collaboration across the entire organization.
