OneNote offers deep search functionality for all notes stored in its database. Users can also store and organize audio recordings that are in a searchable format and can be integrated with other Microsoft 365 products. OneNote allows users to take handwritten notes with the help of a stylus or fingertip and can also convert these notes to digital text. Important ideas or points can be highlighted by using various shapes and colors. The solution has the ability to embed other Microsoft 365 files into a note.

Also, I like the organization structure of the notebooks. > > **Cons**: While I like the symbiotic relationship it has with other MS products, I do not like the way it is dependent upon available cloud storage space within OneDrive. Upon filling up my OneDrive, I am no longer able to use OneNote, and this is a huge problem for me. > > I had been accumulating various notebooks within OneNote over several years, a process which took a lot time and work. Once I filled up my OneDrive, my use of OneNote became very limited, preventing me from adding new notes. Also, after so much time of having my OneDrive overfilled, all my notebooks were deleted, which was devastating. ----- ### "Great Flexible Organiser" — 5.0/5 > **Chelsea** | *12 June 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Onenote is a great space to organise notes in sections and pages. It has the option to add images or checklists. Perfect for organising notes and syncs across all platforms. > > **Cons**: Formatting is a little clunkier than other applications, which can be tricky to get your head around. > > Onenote is really helpful and can be a great way to organise and keep on top of notes, planning or just brainstorming. It is perfect for both work and personal, especially study. ----- ### "Un blocco note digitale potente e accessibile per l'organizzazione quotidiana" — 4.0/5 > **Fabrizio** | *25 August 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Il vantaggio principale è la perfetta integrazione con l'ecosistema Microsoft 365, che permette di collegare note, email di Outlook e documenti di SharePoint in modo immediato. L'organizzazione strutturata in blocchi appunti, sezioni e pagine è estremamente chiara e imita perfettamente i raccoglitori fisici. Inoltre, la flessibilità dell'interfaccia a "tela libera" consente di inserire ovunque testi, tabelle, registrazioni audio e persino disegni. > > **Cons**: Il limite maggiore riguarda i problemi occasionali di sincronizzazione dei blocchi appunti condivisi, che a volte generano conflitti di versione quando più colleghi lavorano sulla stessa pagina. Inoltre, l'interfaccia utente differisce in modo marcato tra la versione per Windows, la versione per Mac e l'app web, creando una fastidiosa incoerenza nell'esperienza d'uso. > > La mia esperienza complessiva con OneNote è solida e positiva. Si conferma uno strumento aziendale affidabile e concreto per la gestione della conoscenza e la raccolta di note rapide. Non ha la flessibilità modulare di strumenti più recenti, ma compensa ampiamente con la sua gratuità per chi ha già una licenza Microsoft e con una stabilità collaudata nel tempo. ----- ### "Everyday use\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kate** | *27 July 2026* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Microsoft OneNote was how easy it was to organize notes in notebooks, sections, and pages. It allowed me to keep all of my information in one place, making it simple to find and update notes. I also liked that it synced across devices, making my notes accessible wherever I needed them. > > **Cons**: One thing I liked least about Microsoft OneNote was that formatting could sometimes be inconsistent, especially when moving or resizing content. It could also feel cluttered when managing large notebooks, and finding certain features took some time to get used to. > > Overall, I had a positive experience using Microsoft OneNote. It was a useful tool for organizing notes, keeping information in one place, and accessing content across multiple devices. Although there was a learning curve with some features and formatting, it proved to be an effective application for note-taking, organization, and collaboration. ----- ### "Useful piece of software for students and workers" — 4.0/5 > **niamh** | *9 March 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a great product and it's like using a digital white board. I can use it for note taking, drawing diagrams and syncing across platforms. I can share notebooks, search for work within them and integrate AI products. > > **Cons**: Sometimes can be slow to sync across devices and performance can be slow with large files. Sometimes has printing issues > > Overall very helpful software and you get used to the interface with continued use and practice. It is more beneficial to have my notes stored here and add new notes rather than keeping everything in handwritten notebooks. ----- Page: 1 / 81\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/397801/onenote?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/397801/onenote) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
