For example, I’ve experienced issues with syncing here and there and lost work as a result. Thankfully, it doesn’t happen often. > > I use OneNote everyday and it’s essential for keeping my work organized. I’ve always found the act of writing notes and to-do lists to be beneficial, and this tool works really well for that (especially as the number of projects I’m on increases). It’s also a great tool for collaboration, which is critical for my team. Would definitely recommend. ----- ### "A flexible solution - strong syncing, flexible noting and 365 integration" — 4.0/5 > **connor** | *18 April 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: A strong app for free-form notes; allowing mixed-media notes (i.e handwritten input, sketches, images and clips etc). Being part of the 365 ecosystem is supports strong collaboration and integration with other MS tools, and provides easy organising through notebooks; sections; pages; tags and more. > > **Cons**: It doesnt feel as well-structured as other dedicated note or KB tools, which could pose a problem i9f seeking explicitly defined databases, rigid workflows or formal information architecture. It is perhaps not the best choice for users seeking strong control over xync behaviour or advanced document formatting, and is stronger as a note capture tool rather than a process, document management and presentation platform. > > it serves as a strong option for flexible, low friction information capture and organisation. it works particularly well for mixed media, collaboration and for environment already embedded in 365/Microsoft. ----- ### "Microsoft OneNote Now" — 3.0/5 > **Penny** | *25 June 2026* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: There is really nothing changed about what I like about it. It still easy to use still take notes and share notebooks with others. > > **Cons**: I can't get some functions to work like they use to and are supposed to work. I can't print from the now as I have been able to do so in the past. ----- ### "A flexible tool for team collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Tou** | *30 April 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The top pro I like most about OneNote is the Organization, the notebooks \> Sections \> Pages structure makes it easy to keep things clean, especially for work projects or personal tracking. Another one is the syncing across multiple devices from PC, phone, and tablet using your Microsoft account. Being able to collaborate with teams is also great making all notes on one notebook a breeze. > > **Cons**: Formatting gets a bit frustrating sometimes when copying form websites or making list can be a bit messy. > > Overall Microsoft One Note is considered very good for our company usage. Great for team collaboration. The real time collab is great. Works great with our other Microsoft environment. Easy to use for all employes. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 80\ 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
