    "Great software but there are many like it"

    Posted 2020-04-26

    Pros: Part of the MS Suite so if you are familiar with one, you are familiar with OneNote. Good enterprise integration. Easy to create multiple notes to keep yourself organized.

    Cons: Not as feature rich as some of the other note softwares out there.

    Overall: I used OneNote primarily in conjunction with Microsoft Lens for a little bit as it was a great pair for snapping a picture of a business card and saving all of the information in a central location. Once I stopped using it for that I don't use it too much any more as I use Evernote for all of my Note taking needs.
