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 ----- ### "Easy Notes and Organization\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ginger** | *19 March 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: OneNote is an amazing, flexible, well-integrated way to track anything from meeting notes to business concepts to schoolwork. > > **Cons**: OneNote has really grown up over the years and is much more user friendly than it used to be. The main drawback is that its compatibility is limited to MS365, but it really does a great job in that context\! ----- ### "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. ----- ### "If you stay on top of it it can be really useful\!" — 3.0/5 > **Kate** | *21 April 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a good option for keeping everything organized in one place. It’s really easy to jot down notes, add images, and keep things sorted into sections kind of like a Pinterest board. > > **Cons**: It can feel a bit messy and out of control if you don’t stay organized, and syncing between different devices isn’t always up to date. It also takes a little time to get used to how everything is laid out as I don't think it's always obvious. > > I can see how for people that really get to grips with it that it can be a really useful tool for notes and planning. If you use it for everything and keep everything in once place it makes staying organized much easier. ----- 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
