Great overall experience managing my notes and sharing them with my colleagues. I would highly recommend this over other resources like Evernote.
Pros
The ease of sharing my notes with someone, commenting on notes by both primary author and collaborators, auto sync on the one drive.
Cons
For some reason, one note seems to perform better on Mac systems but not as much on windows. It crashes a lot on windows.

It is reliable, easy to use and share, and is a favorite collaboration tool among employees.
Pros
It was easy to use and for employees to collaborate with. It is great to organize meeting notes and to-do tasks/action items. Especially since you can make multiple tabs and subpages.
Cons
It was a little clunky when trying to move OneNote files from one location to another, especially with OneNote files stored in Microsoft SharePoint. We had issues a view times with issues merging changes when many people were editing at once and ended up with lost pages in the document. Also there is no way to recover just a single page if deleted.
Reasons for Switching to Microsoft OneNote
It was already integrated into Microsoft SharePoint and Outlook and included with the Office suite our employees were using. So it made sense to go with OneNote.- Industry: Construction
