OneNote Review
Pros:
Able to save documents written in Microsoft word. Has great storage for saving documents
Cons:
Unable to connect to a printer. When it comes down to getting documents it has a hard time releasing them.
Alternatives Considered:
Excellent app to store notes
Comments: Is a great tool to store all your notes, can manage them in sections to have all organized
Pros:
Can store all the notes there and can view edit or create on smartphone with the app
Cons:
At the moment everithing is working good, i like it.
Reliable note taking and task management app
Pros:
As a note taking app I find OneNote more useful and with more features than other apps. I used to use Evernote, but there were to many restrictions and not too many options for notes categorization. With OneNote one has not only the Notebook entity, but also the sections within each Notebook and the pages within each section. This tree structure on 3 levels allows for a quite flexible approach when it comes to notes categorization. Another critical feature is the Search function: allowing to search across all notebooks and pages. As for task management, I find OneNote easier to use to store my to do's with additional info (text and images). This is very useful when working on individual projects and not having to switch to other apps. OneNote can work as a mood board, note taking, task management, reminders, even password management (you can password protect a particular section)
Cons:
The sync process could benefit from some improvements: as in the notebooks to be created by default in OneDrive or SharePoint. There are scenarios where the notebooks are created locally, then in order to sync one needs to put it manually on OneDrive or SharePoint.
