Overall Satisfaction with OneNote

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

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

Cons

I really don't see any needed areas of improvement

Return on Investment

OneNote has greatly enhanced our collaboration ability to create and share documents.

Alternatives Considered

Evernote

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.

Other Software Used

Evernote, Slack, Apple iCloud

Performance

I find OneNote to perform very well. I experience quick load times and automatic updates which are two things that are very important to our organization. I personally do not integrate OneNote with other software or systems but I do like that it can generate a sharing link for other people to view.

Usability

I find OneNote incredibly usable. I'm fairly middle of the road when it comes to tech savvy-ness. The platform was very easy to learn and explore. I like that OneNote is no clunky and offers a clean interface. This is important when it comes to deciding if a tool is usable for multiple people.

Likelihood to Recommend

OneNote is definitely well suited for creating process documents for a manual or other type of guidebook for a large audience. I also personally found it incredibly helpful when attending conferences as I was able to devote a section to each session. OneNote allows the user to easily organize files and update pages. The searchability features are super helpful too.
