Microsoft OneNote is a very versatile tools which allows storing notes, important information, documents and many more things. The feature I like most is sync as we can easily assess our notes over mobile application as well also as there are many customizations and grouping available we can store our all notes in well formatted and structured manner so avoid clutter.

I can easily integrate Microsoft Outlook and other Microsoft tools with OneNote seamlessly and make use of the data from those platforms to access inside OneNote. One major feature which I like the most is autosaving due to which I never lose my data and notes as it is auto saved to cloud and synced across all my devices where I logged in.

There is nothing much that I dislike about Microsoft OneNote but one thing I want to mention that due to so many features and customizations the applications became little heavy now, it should be optimized for better performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Microsoft OneNote is how easy it is to keep all my notes in one place. I use it for meeting notes, project information, quick reminders, and day-to-day work, so I don’t have to search through multiple documents.

I also like that notes sync across devices and are easy to find later using search. It helps me stay organized and keeps important information readily available when I need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don’t like about Microsoft OneNote is that large notebooks can sometimes become a little difficult to organize, especially when there are many sections and pages. I have also noticed that formatting does not always look exactly the same across different devices.

Other than that, it has been a useful tool for keeping notes organized and I use it regularly without any major problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about OneNote is how easy it is to organize information. I can create separate notebooks for different projects and add pages whenever I need them. I also like that I can insert images, tables, links and checklists along with text, making my notes more useful. The search feature is fast, so I don't have to scroll through pages to find something. Another feature I appreciate is automatic syncing, which keeps my notes updated across all my devices. It gives me confidence that I won't lose important information.

OneNote works well most of the time, but there are a few things that could be improved. Sometimes syncing takes longer than expected when the internet connection is slow. If a notebook has a lot of pages, it can take come time to find the right section. The free-form page layout is flexible, but it can also make notes look untidy if they are not organized carefully. A few formatting options are also limited compared to a word processor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simpler, the better. It’s just what you need—nothing fancy. It’s a notepad to get your notes done, and it integrates with OneDrive, so your info is backed up and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft should honestly just forget about OneNote. The integrations with the Outlook app and other software don’t work that well, and it feels like it’s falling behind over time. At this point, there’s only basic support, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they shut down support soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Microsoft OneNote, it never feels like you run out of paper—we can keep writing endlessly. Notes are easy to organise, print, and share, and it’s simple to find information later even if we’ve forgotten which tab or page it’s stored on. We can create any number of tabs, which helps keep everything neatly organised and easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t really see any major downsides. The only thing is that the interface can feel a bit cluttered at times, and syncing can occasionally lag when I switch between devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stands out most about Microsoft OneNote is how flexible it is compared to typical note-taking apps.

Instead of pushing you into rigid pages or fixed formats, OneNote feels like a true digital notebook: you can click anywhere and start typing, drawing, or pasting content. That freeform canvas is especially helpful for brainstorming and planning, or for mixing text with visuals without having to decide on a structure upfront.

Another major strength is how smoothly it integrates with the Microsoft ecosystem. It works naturally with tools like Word, Outlook, and Teams, so your notes can connect easily to meetings, tasks, and documents. If you already use Microsoft products, it fits right in.

I also appreciate its organization system. The notebooks → sections → pages layout is straightforward but powerful, and it’s easy to create separate notebooks for different areas of your life (work, study, personal). On top of that, search is excellent—even recognizing text inside images or handwritten notes—which saves a lot of time.

Finally, cross-device syncing has been reliable for me. Whether I’m on a laptop, phone, or tablet, my notes stay up to date, which makes it easy to capture ideas anytime.

Overall, the best thing about OneNote is how it balances freedom, structure, and integration in a way that adapts to how you think, rather than forcing you to adapt to the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though Microsoft OneNote is a powerful tool, a few aspects can become frustrating over time.

One problem is that the same flexibility that makes it appealing can also make it feel messy. Without a strict structure, notes can get disorganized quickly—especially in larger notebooks. It’s easy to lose track of where things are unless you’re very disciplined about how you set up sections and pages.

Another drawback is the inconsistent experience across platforms. The desktop app, web version, and mobile apps don’t always behave the same way, and certain features are missing or work differently depending on the device. If you switch devices often, that lack of uniformity can be especially annoying.

Performance can also be an issue, particularly with big notebooks or lots of embedded files like PDFs or images. Syncing is usually reliable, but when it fails or conflicts happen, fixing those problems isn’t always straightforward or intuitive.

Formatting is another weak spot. Compared to tools like Microsoft Word, you don’t get much fine control over layout, spacing, or styling. Because of the freeform canvas, content can shift around unexpectedly, which isn’t ideal when you’re trying to create something more polished.

Lastly, collaboration isn’t as smooth as you might expect from a Microsoft product. While you *can* share notebooks, real-time collaboration doesn’t feel as seamless or as intuitive as it is in tools like Google Docs.

Overall, OneNote excels at flexible note capture, but it can fall short when you need consistency across devices, stronger performance with heavy notebooks, or more structured work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using microsoft onenote for last 4 years and it is one of the best note taking and documentation software so far. In it you can click anywhere and start typing. we can include drawings, images and files. It feels more like a digital workspace Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the app loads with time and mobile application is not that richwith features. So it takes time to sync across devices. it is very heavy version of notepad Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft OneNote is an effective tool to use in a professional setting due to being flexible in knowledge and note management. This application enables management of information through notebooks, sections, and pages, which is quite useful in managing meeting information, project and document ideas, and managing research documentation. The strength of using Microsoft OneNote lies in being able to integrate different elements, such as text, to-do lists, images, links, and code snippets, in one page that can be effectively used in a working environment.

The only downside here is that OneNote does not have a strict organizational system, like a documentation tool with a wiki. This means that, without a certain amount of organizational discipline, the notebooks can get messy. The search function is good, but it can still be difficult, even in a large amount of notes distributed among a variety of notebooks. There is very limited functionality for getting the information out into other forms, and the options for formatting are very basic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OneNote has a lot of flexibility and allows you to create pages within pages. This is helpful because I can start to create notes on a specific subject but easily break it up into sub-pages within a topic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility to create new pages and subpages can also cause issues and make finding something hard than it should be. If you are consistent with your page creations this can be avoided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The autosave option is helpful, and I like that we can paste pictures into any notes in between. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t think it has any drawbacks, and I’m looking forward to new options or updates in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
