Overall Satisfaction with OneNote
OneNote is being used by a mix of people across teams and departments. It's not being used universally by all teams and functions. OneNote is great for making and organizing meeting notes. It also has a nice iOS app, which makes your notes accessible across devices. Lastly, because it's backed by Microsoft, I feel that my information is a lot safer than it might be with a smaller company that doesn't have Microsoft's resources.
- It makes it really easy to capture notes in different formats - text, pictures, copy & paste, videos, etc.
- It makes it really easy to organize notes by using the concept of notebooks - which are thematic ways to organize your notes
- The mobile app is easy to use and navigate, which means I can always have my notes with me, even if I'm not in front of my computer
- OneNote should integrate with meeting management tools (e.g. Zoom) and automatically transcribe meetings and provide all attendees with notes
- OneNote should integrate with workflow processing tools so that any deliverables or goals coming out of a meeting can be captured and tracked against resources & timelines
- At a corporate level, OneNote should help companies find which employees are SME's in particular areas by analyzing their data and content
- OneNote makes me more productive because I'm always able to remember discussion points and next steps for any meeting
- OneNote makes me less reliant on my laptop, when I'm having an informal coffee meeting, for example, which can be freeing
- OneNote can sometimes be a little slow to use, which can be frustrating when I'm trying to type fast and make notes
I don't like Evernote's privacy policy. Plus, they were hacked and I don't think they're paying enough attention to their security. Evernote is decent for a consumer experience or a college student, but I think when it comes to an enterprise use case, it's really important to have trust and security in your note-taking platform.
