Zoho Notebook comes to innovate your personal notes

For tasks where speed and simplicity are required Zoho Notebook is ideal, it allows us to eliminate all that paperwork both physical and digital that often becomes complex when finding the data we have saved, this tool is the modern implementation of many features that facilitate the work of users, in addition, oriented to collaboration and thanks to the integration with other functions makes simple the work of your work team allowing the collaboration of those essential notes to perform daily tasks, no doubt Zoho Notebook is not just a simple tool for notes, it is another powerful application focused on the productivity of the organization.

PROS

The daily intervention of our technicians in the installations scheduled daily requires constantly filling out documents where the parameters of the service they are installing are reflected, such information contained in tables is filled manually and then verified by the area that audits such installations also manually, in other words, The information is transcribed to the information systems where the delivery thresholds are validated and the installation is approved or rejected, Zoho Notebook allowed us to eliminate all that manual wear and tear since by implementing personal notes our technicians digitize all that information and with the implementation of tables and even photos embedded in those notes the delivery of reports and their tabulation has reduced the time significantly.

CONS

One of the functions that we use the least within the tool is the draw-notes, the main reason lies in the devices used by our technicians who are mostly smartphones where it is somewhat difficult to write notes with legible strokes due to the size of some screens, however, the rest of the functions offered fulfill their purpose which has been seen in the reports shared by the technicians once they complete the installation as these are shared in real time for analysis.

Easy application for note taking

In my line of work, creativity and ideas are very important and i constantly need my note book to jot down my note. Using this application to save all my ideas and thought is very easy as i can access it anytime and anywhere.

PROS

Taking note or saving my ideas in note is easy to do using Zoho Notebook either from my desktop computer or my mobile device. Not only text media, audio and picture also can be added to the note but with limitation on the file size. Saving my notes digitally is more secure than using physical notebook.

CONS

It does not support offline environment as it will always need internet connection to access back my notes in the program. If the note can be saves on my desktop as backup alternative will really help me to get my note back if i don't have internet connection.

Reasons for switching to Zoho Notebook

Zoho Notes has more option for notes taking and more tools to share my note with my team.

A Great Tool if You Already are Zoho Service user (not recommended if you are already not)

It's definitely not a bad tool, however, if you are specifically looking only for note-taking, then there are better tools available. One such tool is Notion

PROS

The note-taking feature was super useful, especially if you already use other Zoho services.

CONS

The tool is very limited as compared to several other note-taking apps out there in the market.

Reasons for switching to Zoho Notebook

I am just testing and trying out as much software as possible to figure out the best one for me that fits my needs and my budget.

Easy access to online note

PROS

I enjoy that the notes are kept on the online cloud storage so that I can access them whenever I need them and that they are available from various types of gadgets that I possess, such as my iPhone and my iPad. The checklist helps me stay ahead of my daily activities and also works as a reminder for items I'd forgotten about.

CONS

If there is too much media and text in the notes, the software will slow down, especially when making a sketch and attaching it with audio and a photo to my sketch card. Some websites do not recognize this application, and I cannot activate the website clippers to save the page.

Reasons for switching to Zoho Notebook

PandaDoc cloud storage is not as good as what Zoho Notebook has offered.

No freeze ups

I actually liked zoho notebook! I wasn't expecting to like it but it has some unique qualities. It functions better than the more popular digital notebooks I've used. I wish it was more modern overall. It looks like it's 5-10 years old and the margins and menus are gray.

PROS

From the dashboard- write, record, capture, or create to do lists. I read the help card and it was indeed helpful. When starting a Notebook a colorful eye catching cover is assigned to it, really helps you find the right Notebook fast! Arrange notebooks and pages in any order, similar to how apps can be arranged on your phone. Formatting options and background color options. Customize and insert a table. Add lines for separation. Best of all, no freeze ups and no sluggishness when working on a large note.

CONS

I was surprised that there was no option to change the faunt. The page can't be zoomed in or out. The draw/write option only has pencil, pen, or highlight in one color. To do lists can't have tasks and sub tasks. It was hard to get used to the setup and find out how to perform certain functions.

Reasons for switching to Zoho Notebook

After we started using a team software to keep most of our notes I no longer needed these, only a simple notebook that I could use for the notes that are independent to my work.
