I love the fact that I can customise all the different pages with different sets on Notes and it’s very easy to customise these, easy to separate them and easier to access when I need it. It makes my life easier in finding the minutes to all the meetings I have as a sales person. Things can easily get lost if you’re not documenting them and that’s where OneNote has fit in my day to day life as a sales person > > **Cons**: There is nothing I do not like about OneNote. It serves the purpose and it’s embers easy to use and cheaper as well. > > My overall experience with OneNote has been great. I have always been a person who takes notes and minutes for all my meetings, and I’m most cases, I would write the notes in my journal or notebook, only to find that the book gets lost or damaged along with all the notes and minutes. Ever since I moved to utilising OneNote, it has been easier for me because I always have my notes and minutes handy whenever I need them and with the customisation functionality, it’s easy to find all the notes and it’s easier to share them with workmates if you need to. I’m very happy with the value I’m getting from OneNote and it’s something I’ll continue to use. ----- ### "great App Am happy with OneNote" — 4.0/5 > **nomthandazo** | *19 August 2024* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like is that I can save my notes to cloud through the app, I remember one time I lost my phone and I was stress about my important notes I wrote for years but I was very happy when I found out that I can retrieve them even on the new phone just with the old account > > **Cons**: None I can think of at the moment, I am still happy with Microsoft OneNote. > > What I like is that I can save my notes to cloud through the app, I remember one time I lost my phone and I was stress about my important notes I wrote for years but I was very happy when I found out that I can retrieve them even on the new phone just with the old account ----- ### "Good tool to use" — 5.0/5 > **Victoria** | *10 March 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s easy to use. I’ve not had any problems with Microsoft OneNote and I’ve used it in the work capacity for a few years. > > **Cons**: I can’t say there is a lot that I dislike about it. I think only once I could not locate my file, but I was able to eventually with the support of IT. > > My overall experience has been good and I am happy to use this product regularly. I’m glad it was created. ----- ### "Useful piece of software for students and workers" — 4.0/5 > **niamh** | *09 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. ----- ### "Convenient note taking software." — 3.0/5 > **Mike** | *11 September 2025* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft OneNote integrates well with the rest of the Office 365 Suite so it is a good value for money. OneNote has good platform compatibility and is easy to share among the team. You can add attachment and photos to each note you type up and OneNote has great tablet support. I also like how file organization is managed within OneNote. > > **Cons**: It is sometimes hard or downright impossible to export to a format that will retain all the information. Pdf export sometimes have areas cropped off. It is very hard to use Microsoft's equation editor and unfortunately there is no Markdown / LaTeX support. > > Overall I use OneNote a lot given that it comes pre-installed with the office suite and has nice integration with OneDrive. However, it is not suited to use OneNote for software documentation. ----- Page: 1 / 80\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1010410/microsoft-onenote?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1010410/microsoft-onenote) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
