2024 Microsoft OneNote Review: Features, Pricing & More
Our Verdict
Our Verdict
Despite its strengths in note-taking and information organization, OneNote may not meet the needs of teams requiring advanced project management features. It is best suited for individuals or teams looking to manage notes and ideas rather than handling complex project tracking or task management.
- Good free plan
- Note taking
- Easy to use
- Slow at times
- Steep learning curve
Why we like it
This is a digital note-taking app that comes as part of the Microsoft 365 suite and costs $6 per month. Microsoft OneNote is available across all operating systems, not just Windows, making this particularly accessible for individuals. In our experience, attending meetings and taking notes can be a chore, but OneNote makes it easy to separate meeting notes. We especially find the deep search functionality for all notes in the database a useful addition to this tool.
Users can also store audio recordings in a searchable format, as well as make handwritten notes when OneNote is used on a tablet. The ability to turn such notes into digital text is a feature we love to see. Ideal for individuals within a business who attend multiple meetings, OneNote has cloud-based storage, and the ability to sync between both personal and enterprise accounts.
