OneNote - great collaboration tool
Overall Satisfaction with OneNote
I primarily use OneNote as it is part of our Microsoft Office 365 Suite. We typically use it as a form of Wiki - where we might share information on certain products that we sell or support. We use it to take notes in meetings and share with the team or to collaborate on a variety of projects and initiatives.
Personally, I use Evernote for capturing day to day notes and have for many years, but OneNote is getting more use by me because it is easy to capture and share content with colleagues on a Corporate approved solution.

Pros
- Collaboration with colleagues - edit the same doc in real-time - leverage as a repository for knowledge sharing
- With iPad app and Apple Pencil, you can take handwritten notes and quickly organize them
- Syncs seamlessly with OneDrive
Cons
- I cannot provide any hard numbers, but OneNote has definitely made me and our team more efficient in learning new material, and collaborating on projects.
- It saves us time and effort in that it is easy to search and find the content you are looking for.
Evernote and OneNote are very similar. Mac users may be more comfortable with Evernote as it has been the standard on Mac for many years, but OneNote has definitely caught up in terms of feature/functionality. Personally, I bounce back and forth between them as I have many years of notes in Evernote, but have more recently started to use OneNote to collaborate with colleagues.
