"Good, But Not The Best"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote is one of the best notes out there. But, its not THE BEST. Still it has so many features. You can organise all your notes in one place, be it anything, text, images, voice notes etc. Web clipper is so nice. You can format your notes in many ways. Even hand writing option is available. If you start using templates, it becomes more awesome.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

It is paid app, and also its priced high. I am using it, fine The premium version priced at 2.9 $ mo, should be around 1.5$ mo. The reminders could have been placed in a better way, but, the have been placed in a bitter way. There are so many options in notes that sometimes you feel confused. More personalization options should have been there, so that it can depict your style. I hope the app doesn't shut down, as it has a lot of data stored in it.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am taking all my notes in evernote, sometimes i do, use other apps as well, still its the major one. Sharing notes, is awesome. I can share my notes, in whatever way I want to. Cloud storage is very good as premium version offers 10 GB mo storage, which is more than enough. It keeps my devices clutter free, I can arrange everything the way i want to, and search it whenever i need it back.

"Use It or Lose It. "
What do you like best about Evernote?

My favorite feature of Evernote is the UI/UX of the product itself. It makes it quite easy to use and is more than intuitive.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

While Evernote does their best to get their product integrated with other tools, but it does require a bit of self-discipline on the user's part to make use of those integrations.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem we are hopefully solving is that it makes it easy to take and share notes from the numerous and often back-to-back meetings that take place within the Product Development department.

"A one-time place for your notes"
What do you like best about Evernote?

What I like best with Evernote is the easy way to create notes, save them and write meeting notes. This last one has saved my everyday job since all my notes from our team meetings are at the same place. Evernote synchronizes with my agenda and transfer all the informations about the meeting directly in the note I create.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

I still struggle a bit with the organization of my notes. I can create folders but I haven't still figure out what folders and for what notes I should create. I also think the sharing function could be way more improved. There is a great potential here. When I share my notes, this one isn't synchronized with the modification the receiver can made on my notes. If this would be possible, it would maybe even outmatch Google Docs.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Evernote basically helps me write and organize my notes wherever I am. The easy creation of notes helps our team to take notes quickly during a meeting and then re-read them during the project.

"Better than 'Notes'"
What do you like best about Evernote?

I really enjoy that you can essentially set a to do list, a presentation, save as a pdf and share to colleagues in one app. It's a really great place for me to keep detailed notes.

What do you dislike about Evernote?

Not a huge fan of having to pay to access the same content on a different device. I think there are similar softwares that allow you to access your content from other locations. I.e. iCloud, Dropbox, GoogleDocs

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not solving any business problems really. I like it better than Word, but due to the access issue... any work that needs to be shared or accessed by the company will be placed in either DropBox or GoogleDocs.

"Love the reminders"
What do you like best about Evernote?

That I can right down an idea and the app will remind me about the idea,before a meeting or right before I need to start planning an event. I don't have to hope that I'll remember when the time comes! I also love that can can take pictures of my white board so I can duplicate it for other classes

What do you dislike about Evernote?

Too expensive to upgrade. Storage is too small on basic version.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collecting white boards and saving notes with reminders

"Great information manager"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Great for note taking and also for indexing PDF files and websites in a way that's searchable and easily accessible

What do you dislike about Evernote?

can bog down your computer some, and it's not as quick as it could be. Has started to suffer from feature bloat over many years of development.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's wonderful for collecting articles and websites for later reference. As a marketer, I've been able to build myself a virtual binder of sales page examples, effective marketing emails, and everything else I see online that I like. I just clip it with the browser extension, file it, and I know I'll be able to get to it later.

My boss and I can share to do lists and edit them together. Keep track of various docs, etc

"Powerful note-taking and search features limited by formatting options"
What do you like best about Evernote?

Evernote is my favourite for the simple reason that search is very powerful. The whole idea of having an app for taking notes is being able to organise the notes and then search for information whenever you are in need of it. Searching for text within images is a big boon!

What do you dislike about Evernote?

Formatting could have been a bit better. Basic formatting only available across all plans. There is no option to copy paste cells from worksheets and work on them. Simple tables make it a pain to work with if you notes need to contain tables of data that needs to be comprehensive.

What problems is Evernote solving and how is that benefiting you?

One app across devices and across all platforms. Andoird, iOS, Mac OS, Windows. No matter what you use, your notes are just always there and with all the features required. Digitizing business cards is another useful feature. SSO is also good to keep the sign-ups central. Business plan offers all the features required.
