## Reviews

### "OneNote in the Workplace" — 5.0/5

> **Samantha** | *March 18, 2026* | Insurance Software | 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.

### "Powerful tool for notes and ideas" — 4.0/5

> **Roger** | *January 9, 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how flexible it is for taking notes. I can organize ideas, images, and notes all in one place.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes the structure feels confusing. It takes time to understand how notebooks and sections work.
> 
> Overall it is a solid note-taking tool. Very useful for organizing ideas, meetings, and personal notes.

### "Great tool but not my go-to after using it." — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *January 2, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: OneNote is incredibly flexible for capturing your thoughts, meeting notes or ideas in whatever format makes sense.Its notebook/section/page structure feels intuitive once you lock in your organization style. Also the integration with Microsoft 365 makes it handy if you already live inside that ecosystem
> 
> **Cons**: It's versatile but it can feel a bit loose if you prefer more structured or linear note systems. It’s easy to end up with scattered pages if you aren't disciplined enough with your organization.
> 
> Very solid choice for freeform note-taking especially if you're already using other Microsoft tools. it didn’t completely replace other tools in my stack but it's definitely a nice add-on.

### "OneNote holds the key to quite literally all of my notes" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *August 13, 2025* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: OneNote is like having a note book organized into 143897432 tabs, unlimited pages and the most detailed table of contents. It can be used for quick literally anything: class notes, group projects, to do lists.
> 
> **Cons**: It's honesly tough to come up with this. Sometimes when I can't get the text boxes to allign perfectly I get frustrated, but that's not even worth half of a star.
> 
> I've used OneNote during all of my university courses, and at each of my jobs since. It keeps me organized, and I love that all of my notes are safely in one place, forever.

### "Convenient note taking software." — 3.0/5

> **Mike** | *September 11, 2025* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Microsoft OneNote integrates well with the rest of the Office 365 Suite so it is a good value for money. OneNote has good platform compatibility and is easy to share among the team. You can add attachment and photos to each note you type up and OneNote has great tablet support. I also like how file organization is managed within OneNote.
> 
> **Cons**: It is sometimes hard or downright impossible to export to a format that will retain all the information. Pdf export sometimes have areas cropped off. It is very hard to use Microsoft's equation editor and unfortunately there is no Markdown / LaTeX support.
> 
> Overall I use OneNote a lot given that it comes pre-installed with the office suite and has nice integration with OneDrive. However, it is not suited to use OneNote for software documentation.
