I literally use this like it is my be all end all note taking tool and I couldn't do my job without it. I love how organized I can be with it. > > **Cons**: Sometimes I have an issue when transferring text from OneNote to an email. It will change your font and formatting. Be careful > > Overall, I need this to survive. I really do. This helps you stay organized and is basically a tech version of a notebook. It is my favorite and most used Microsoft app. ----- ### "OneNote in the Workplace" — 5.0/5 > **Samantha** | *18 March 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The use of OneNote is one of the main reasons I am able to remain organized and on task during the work day. My role is comprised of many parts (finance, HR, office management, etc.) and OneNote allows me to keep track of daily, monthly, and even yearly tasks. Furthermore, the ability to document How To's in one place but still separate from all of that is essential. OneNote is as important to me as almost any other application on Microsoft Office. > > **Cons**: While I personally find OneNote easy to use and helpful, many employees find it difficult to understand. Many do not see the value in it which I believe is because it is under advertised and explained. > > OneNote allows me to remain organized while performing a role with many responsibilities and moving parts. Any important information is in one place and is organized by books and tabs for easy retrieval. The benefits to this program may be very personal based on understanding of how it is designed to function. ----- ### "Great for Many notes" — 3.0/5 > **Carra-Danielle** | *23 October 2025* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that you are able to organize your notes so well. You can create and color code categories and the notes can be basic or professional with many editing options compared > > **Cons**: Its like this mysterious Microsoft app. that no one uses or talks about so there was little to show me some tips and tricks. > > This is a very versatile note application. If you keep a lot of notes and desire complex organization this will work great. ----- ### "It's good but not WAY better than others." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 April 2026* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use one note a lot. I take a lot of notes during my day to track what I've done and what i need to do. It is easy to use, manage documents, and collaborate. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the UI gets a little confusing. This only really happened for the first bit I was using it. If you read my other reviews this is a theme so maybe it's just me. Not really many cons besides of this. > > Overall I have had good experiences with OneNote. I would recommend others use it but other note platforms are similar and work just fine. ----- ### "Great software" — 5.0/5 > **Mayted** | *27 March 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft OneNote is my go to\! Every job I have had has one note and I continue to use it easy to manage, great way to organize your note > > **Cons**: What I like least about one is that I personally been having a hard time sharing my notes with colleagues > > Over experience is amazing easy to use easy to organize easy to make new tabs. New files great software overall. ----- Page: 1 / 80\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/90390/microsoft-onenote?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/90390/microsoft-onenote) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
