Overall Satisfaction
Evernote is being used by individuals in our sales department. Some content is shared. Most is private to each user. Evernote is terrific at syncing meeting notes, project notes, literature, etc. across multiple devices and team members. Content is very easily edited/updated. The ability to organize notes into different notebooks and assign different tags to each note make notes extremely easy to find.
Pros
- Sync notes across multiple platforms making them available to users at all times.
- Organizing notes into different notebooks and further enabling you to tag notes for effortless searching.
- Ability to make instant updates on all devices.
- Ability to embed photos, pdfs and web site URLs directly into notes.
Cons
- Difficult to move content within a note (ie re-arrange bullet points, etc.). Ideally bulleted and numbered lists could be re-arranged with drag and drop functionality. This is especially difficult to do currently on smartphones and tablets (much easier with a mouse).
- Desktop client seems to need to be synced manually (or automatic syncs are much less frequent than mobile app syncs).
- I like the web site "Clipper" utility but it doesn't always provide the desired result. It would be nice if it had an option to capture a screen shot of an area of a web page.
- Increased employee efficiency. Provides ability to reference meeting notes from prior meetings or even different meetings that relate to one your are in.
- Access to resources. Ability to instantly find the latest content. Update it continuously as needed. And have it available at your fingertips wherever you are.
- Customer service. Having the resources available to answer questions accurately, etc. Take notes of client meetings and create action items that are then available on your desk when you return from the client's office.
- OneNote,onenote
I find Evernote easier and more intuitive to use. It's free up to a point - but you can use it very effectively at no cost. Smaller installation - OneNote seems very large. Apps available on all devices. This may be true for OneNote now, but it wasn't in the past.

Yes - Terrific. I've used Evernote on tablets and smartphones. They provide the same functionality as the desktop client. Data stays in sync across all devices.
