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 ----- ### "The Most Powerful and Flexible Note Taking Tool on the Market" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *20 December 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been a long-time user of OneNote. It is one of the most powerful and user friendly note taking apps available. Now it has become even more powerful with its integration with Copilot, MS Teams and Loop. OneNote can be connected to MS Teams based meetings and populated with everything captured by the MS Teams Facilitator. IT'S AWESOME\! > > **Cons**: Literally nothing. There is nothing that I dislike about OneNote, especially since it integrates across all of the Microsoft applications, including Dynamics. > > As a project manager, I have used OneNote for years. I have used a variety of different tools including Keep, Evernote, Confluence, etc. Not one of them compares to OneNote. I am able to generate notes on my desktop and then access those notes on any of my mobile devices. ----- ### "Flexible With Great Micosoft Integration" — 4.0/5 > **Junaid** | *13 September 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: OneNote makes it easy to organise notes, tasks, and ides in a digital notebook format. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 apps like outlook and Teams. > > **Cons**: Search functionality is not always as powerful as it could be for large notebooks. Exporting and sharing options are limited compared to Evernote or Notion. > > Overall, OneNote is dependable toold for note taking and collaboration especially for users already in the Microsoft ecosystem. ----- ### "Great for notes" — 5.0/5 > **Tomas** | *01 June 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use with a clean layout. Great for quick note-taking, organizing thoughts, and syncing across devices. Perfect for capturing ideas on the go. > > **Cons**: Noticeable UX inconsistency between the 2016 version and newer versions, which can be confusing. Some features feel fragmented or missing depending on the platform used. > > Overall a solid note-taking tool that I use regularly. However, I may gradually transition to Microsoft Loop as it evolves and offers a more modern, integrated experience. ----- 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
