To a novice user, this can come off as intimidating at first. Evernote users can count on other time-saving features as well, such as the inclusion of templates. It has dozens of templates that can be easily used and quickly copied. Premium and Business plan users can create their own templates for even better productivity and collaboration. It is currently developing a Linux version.
You can contact customer support via email or live chat, though this is available only on the paid versions of the app. Free users have to make do with finding the solution to their problems on the community support forum. OneNote shares the same general design principles that all Office apps are built on. You will have access to all of your system fonts on the desktop version and, once used in a note, these fonts will be available on the web version, too.
OneNote has a unique approach when it comes to its notes. These sections can be in different fonts, colors and sizes. They can also be moved around, edited and merged effortlessly with other notes. Odds are slim that a Linux client will ever happen. Simplenote is one such notes app. Evernote has a superb search tool. With it, you can search by keyword or phrase across text notes, notebooks or files.
Search parameters include when a note or notebook has been created or modified, and paid versions allow you to search inside Word docs and PDFs. These two apps both support customized tagging. Adding your own tags to notes makes organizing them and searching across different notebooks a lot easier and more efficient. Evernote features a classic organization structure: you create notes which are then stored inside notebooks. OneNote notes hierarchy is as follows: notebooks, sections, pages.
This extra step of having sections can bother users who are used to quickly accessing their notes. While OneNote is by no means unpleasant to use, Evernote is more user-oriented.
Its search and organization are better handled. Plus, its time-saving features — such as templates and different note types — make using Evernote for taking notes and work a more intuitive and personalized experience in general.
It is a typical corporate-style document in which Microsoft explains that it collects your personal data through your use of its products. This data is used for advertising and can be shared to third-party vendors and law enforcement agencies with a subpoena. Windows 10 users can somewhat customize their privacy settings , but if you are concerned about this, a note-taking app that places greater emphasis on user privacy would be a better choice.
It guarantees that your data is yours, your data is protected and that your data is portable. In effect, this means that Evernote does not claim any copyright on the content of your notes and that it will not sell your info or use it for marketing purposes. Both Evernote and OneNote support two-factor authentication , an excellent way to make them even more secure. The stored data is protected by Google-managed AES encryption keys while at rest. OneDrive also has both in-transit and at-rest data encryption.
For more details regarding this, we recommend you read our OneDrive security article. Evernote wins this round, as well. Security measures for both apps are strong, and OneNote does have a slight edge here with its bit encryption for in-transit files. For this reason, we put it ahead of OneNote. So there you have it — our overall winner and still the leading note-taking app is Evernote.
In many ways, this was a very close competition that could have gone either way, but in the end, Evernote wins due to all the little user-friendly options it has and a greater commitment to the privacy of its millions of users.
While OneNote is a close second , there are still areas where it clearly outshines Evernote. The most obvious of these is the pricing model. OneNote lets you use all of its advanced features for free, including OCR, ink-to-text conversion, audio and video recording and the dictation tool, while Evernote restricts its best features behind a very pricey paywall.
Which of these two note-taking apps do you think is better? Do you agree with our ruling? Tell us your Evernote and OneNote stories in the comments below. Thanks for reading! I liked OneNote, but my friend keeps getting notification of my notes. I will start fresh again in One Note.
Sadly the update to OneNote in Office has destroyed many of the things that made OneNote a great tool. I am very sad to report that this version on my Win 10 computer sucks. I need to find a way to roll it back.. Thank you for you comment. I am in the process of re-evaluating a note system for genealogy records. I loved OneNote and then tried a later version which I hated it. OneNote had great features still does OneNote had corruption problems OneNote had corruption problems OneNote had corruption problems Forums suggest was the least of the problems.
Time to start an open source solution anybody? Finally someone that mentions the corruption problems. Onenote is unreliable due to this. I have huge notebooks that cannot be synced anymore. So onenote sucks, plain and simple. Just copy the Data folder where ON keeps the files to your new machine, and then set your new ON install to use that folder.
A 10th grader can write a better algorithm. This is the reason I choose Evernote over One Note. Bro, you flew off the handle about this thread. You need to power down and go take a walk or something. OneNote fixed both those issues. Using your other example left and right bracket [] returns many notes having left and right bracket. I find the note tagging feature to be the most powerful reason to use Evernote. For me cross-referencing notes is key because that is how I think and OneNote does not do this in any type of efficient way.
I have about three thousand notes and use about 88 notebooks with no problem in Evernote. I find the UI from OneNote much more appealing. However, if OneNote will indeed drop versioning, that would be a huge bummer as this is essential for me. I would still not use Evernote but would look into other alternatives. Evernote is my number one app of any kind and the first thing I install on any OS.
Reminders was a big feature addition. And tags are the feature no one else can touch. Spend some time to develop a personalized system of tagging, then it is a life changing tool. I agree. Onenote looks nicer but it is more buggy than a garage of cockroaches, and always has been. As for Onedrive being a competitive cloud service, pass the joint. Nothing compares to Dropbox, and Evernote is a dream in that regard.
Well, I think there are some groups at Microsoft that qualify — Excel for example. The ability to be editing a note via laptop and then seemlessly move to the phone to draw a picture that is automatically embedded into your note … and back and forth. Is that right or rumor? Is that OneNote or Evernote? And, yes, if Office starts to delete my documents with no way to recover them, I will abandon Office Pretty uncalled for there.
Patrick's O expertise is in fact extensive and covers much more than just variants of the OneNote ecosystem. Furthermore, whilst I sympathize with your situation and fully understand your anger and frustration, directing it at Patrick isn't very constructive. I think it's fair to say that as IT professionals, we should all know that trusting a cloud service to perform recoverable backups of your data cannot be guaranteed and even if they explicitly state they do we should take that statement with a pinch of salt.
Experience has taught me a few harsh lessons over the 20 years in IT when it comes to the loss of critical data, the biggest lesson of all being that if you cannot afford to lose it, then don't entrust it to a third party. Having said all that, I sincerely hope that you get this issue resolved and all your notes back safely.

As for your first link, you cannot export from OneNote online if it doesn't show your notebooks. Edited Dec 8, at UTC. I'll let you guys know what happens. As for my links and reply - I was only trying to help you. I also do take you word for their location, I wont be validating.
They think the problem could have been caused by the Microsoft Android OneNote App I still don't because there are no deleted files showing in OneNote online and the permission issues indicate an issue with permissions, not missing files. I think the OneNote servers screwed up and deleted my OneNote account completely. The support rep indicated that they have had other people with this issue, although not enough evidently to pull the Microsoft Android App or to fix it.
There is no export functionality in OneNote for Windows. This alone is reason to stop using it immediately. Here is the link. If the link stops working, let me know and I will post links to the files that I downloaded from there. That functionality backing up your important OneNote files is restricted to the desktop app per Microsoft's own statement here.
This prevents us from writing a Python script to export all of our notes from OneNote for Windows, should this happen to anyone else. The best suggestion that Level 2 OneNote support has at this time is to individually one at a time copy every note, in every section, in every notebook to new notebooks and new sections - which will take hours and hours since I stopped using the desktop version of OneNote in I still cannot copy sections or notebooks due to the permissions issues.
Level 3 tech support for OneNote is supposed to call me in 24 to 48 hours. I will update again after that call. If you intend to save a lot of documents and files, though, storage becomes a lot more important.
But the 60MB upload limit is very harsh. Even casual users are likely to run up against this restriction pretty quickly, especially when working with larger files such as high-resolution images. Evernote retired its Plus tier in April , which had a 1GB upload restriction. This forces users to choose between the limitations of the Free plan or 10GB of storage in the Premium plan.
The biggest problem with Evernote in terms of storage is the lack of a middle option. It helps keep OneNote largely free and offers generous storage and upload limits. But it also forces prospective OneNote users to sign up for a OneDrive account. If you need to save larger files or upload a lot of data, OneNote is the clear winner. Note-taking apps help us record our thoughts. This makes search critically important. You can search by keyword or strings, as well as other search criteria such as where and when a note was created, media or attachment filetypes such as PDFs, images, or audio files , and the people associated with or tagged in a note.
Evernote also boasts a wide range of search modifiers that Google power users will find familiar. OneNote, on the other hand, is free. Evernote was named a Leader product by G2 in spring and received an overall rating of 4. OneNote was ranked as one of the Top Software Products of by G2 and also received an overall rating of 4. Technically, OneNote edges out Evernote——but only just.
Evernote received slightly more one-, two-, and three-star reviews than OneNote did, and OneNote received slightly fewer reviews in general. It's easy to pull up your content from anywhere, even if you're offline.
Start on your laptop then update notes on your phone. OneNote works on any device or platform. Desktop Tablet. Mac iPad iPhone Watch. Tablet Phone Wear.
