Overall Satisfaction with OneNote
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.
