The Leader in Enterprise Note Management
I'm a lawyer and have been searching for a program of which I can make and store case notes together with legal research. I can write comprehensive documents and insert references and media into the note as blocks. The entire system is whitelabelled and accessible as my custom URL in the event I want to provide clients with access to their file. Nimbus Notes provides the functionality of a complete case management tool and I'm honestly astounded at how well it has been executed.
PROSSimple and easy to setup with comprehensive functionality and excellent user interface. I have been searching for a solution like Nimbus Notes for a long time and have tried all of the major offerings. I consider Nimbus to have all of the functionalilty of Evernotes with the ease of use and understated look of Notion.
CONSThere is really nothing I do not like about Nimbus, it literally has everything I could want.
Reasons for switching to Nimbus Note
Nimbus has all the functionality of the major players at a fraction of the cost. I also prefer the simple user interface that Nimbus offers in addition to the web clipper (Nimbus Clipper) and media capture tool (Nimbus Clarity).

My favorite Personal Knowledge Management Tool
One of my best business investments! Besides the minor limitations on the formatting side and integration with calendars, it's a perfect tool for building your personal knowledge management system.
PROSI'm a skill learning coach so this tool is essential for my business. I use NN to teach other people how to build a personal knowledge management system for their work and career in general. I love that I can also use my own domain for my notes and publicly publish things online for others to read.
CONSNot synched with Google calendar. Poor formatting options for the Table block. Needs integration with Grammarly.
Reason for choosing Nimbus Note
Aside from the pricing, it's the ability to brand your organization's notes by using the custom domain feature.
Reasons for switching to Nimbus Note
No domain branding.

Good free to use extension
Overall for a free and quick extension, I would definitely recommend it. It's easy to use, it's easy to generate a link of the screenshot or video recording so that you can share it with someone, and it's free! If you're looking for something free, simple, easy to use, and something quick for your work then this is definitely the tool that you need.
PROSNimbus has pretty much all of the features that you can imagine and need. I've been using Nimbus for work for quite a few years now and it has definitely helped to have a quick and free extension to record videos and take screenshots. With one simple click, you get a drop-down list with all of the features that they provide. It's very easy to use.
CONSThe only downside of this extension is that there are times where the tools get stuck? Also, you can't really take a proper screenshot if there are two scrollable fragments in a single page, and sometimes when I do manage to take a screenshot of a scrollable page when I upload it, it looks like it has been cut off or something. I'm not too sure if these are bugs but it can be a little bit inconvenient when having a lot of workloads.
Vendor Response
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Yoselin! We always try to improve our app, so you could use it without any difficulties. Our team will take your feedback into account.

Perfect for specific use cases, decent for the rest
I am slowly making a friendship with Nimbus. I've been Evernote user for years, both for personal and work-related tasks. I see how much Nimbus team did to meet the expecations, and in my case – they overdelivered, which is outstanding. I am more and more convinced to move all my notes from Evernote to Nimbus, and don't even look at Notion.
PROSI love how it combines the feeling of a “standard” note (like in Evernote) with enhanced, modern features (like in Notion). That's exactly something I was looking for. And I love tables!
CONSI am not yet fully convinced that Nimbus is a piece of software that will last and will be developed for many years to come. That trust is crucial for a note-taking tool that I want to rely on every day. That's not a weakness, just a tiny thing that makes me careful for now and not allow me to entirely jump in.
Reason for choosing Nimbus Note
They have lots of useful features, but I need something bot for advanced documents (which Notion is perfect for), and for simple writing – long forms, thoughts, and jots. Notion doesn't feel like a notebook, so it didn't convince me enough.
Reasons for switching to Nimbus Note

Nimbus is great for small teams and individual users. Prefer over more well known options.
My experience has been enjoyable. The bugs get resolved in decent time, so the product quality is maintained.
PROSGreat for management of notes and links . You can keep Nimbus synced near-realtime on most mobileOS phone/tablets, and most DesktopOS computers, and of course online . The organization features by category / tag / folder & subfolder hierarchically / search / etc. are pretty good. Better than Evernote for my purposes - since it is useful to maintain interim clippings from various sources, on the web or otherwise. The OCR function works pretty well in the languages I have tried thus far.
CONSThere should be better screenshot ability, like CloudApp. Being able to create short clips and gif files from recordings would be nice. The tables and spreadsheet features are simplistic. They should offer integrations to reference management tools. They should experiment integrating the Signal protocol, so that their cloud storage doesn’t necessarily need to be utilized for some of the ‘partitions’ of the notes. Some of these are not cons per say, but they would make Nimbus have a better differentiation versus their competitor vendors.
Reason for choosing Nimbus Note
I choose it because they met most of my requirements and they had what appeared to me as a roadmap that meant they would be here for the very long run, and not shutter down.
Vendor Response
Please check our updates apps - Nimbus Capture allows to record videos in GIF format. Also, we launched a new editor which has advanced tables and databases. You can check the details at https://nimbusweb.me/feature-note-editor.php

Excellent easy to use powerful product
Everything is tidy, organised, easy to find and just a breath of fresh air!
PROSWe relied on Google Docs for all our document sharing and collaboration which works great, but it's not a tidy interface and grouping content into folders was never elegant. We ended up with 1000's of scattered documents, some shared correctly, others set to all. There was also never a place to keep private notes accessible. With Nimbus we split Design Team, Development Team, Private Notes and Company-Wide notes and using the desktop app this is so quick and easy to do. Embedded PDF's are a god send as this is where things get messy with Google Docs. Can see Nimbus becoming our one source of truth for all comms and documentation for sure. A great product at a great price and very low learning curve. Support is efficient and prompt so any questions are answered quickly.
CONSNo real issues at all from my experience. Everything is relatively self-explanatory. Even if you wanted to use this as your own private place for notes, you'll get working in minutes.
Reason for choosing Nimbus Note
Evertnote is good, but it seemed too heavy. Nimbus's desktop and mobile app, as well as web versions feel very lightweight.
Reasons for switching to Nimbus Note
To make things easier

More useful than you could ever imagine.
The best NOTES platform out there. Better than Evernote, which has been stagnant. Nimbus helps you note down everything without being lost in all the notes because of its organized and structured nature. You can unclutter your mind and prioritize your focus. It also has many valuable features that are not usually in a "Notes" app, but they are!
PROSIt has so many valuable features. And they can also be used with its chrome extensions. Being able to embed practically anything into my notes has been so convenient. The mobile app helps a lot too. It's way better than my native notes app and other paid services. Better note taking, better ease of use, better notes management, Papa John's.
CONSNeeds integration with Grammarly. UI can still be improved for better note-taking and while on a smaller window.
Reasons for switching to Nimbus Note
Evernote has stayed stagnant while Nimbus kept innovating and adding more useful features.

Thank you for estimating our app so high! It brings us joy that you like using it!

Excellent software. Very responsive team.
I am a lawyer, I need to share documents. My client is reluctant to a private area or erp. Nimbus allows me to upload documents in an orderly fashion and give access to the client. In a simple and visual way. It solves my problem.
PROSWhen I met Nimbus. I did not know Notion which is more economical. However, NIMBUS is much more advanced, safe and practical. It is the best solution currently on the market by far. In addition, it is always being updated and communication with support is fluid.
CONSI have not encountered any bugs. Although the app can be improved.
Reason for choosing Nimbus Note
Nimbus is constantly evolving. At the moment it allows you to do almost anything.

happy with the product, probably worth mentioning it's not the only product that we use by Nimbus.
PROSIt's a very good and valid alternative to another software that we consider to be industry standard.clean user interface.doesn't require "training" for any client to use.Creating workspaces and sharing them is a good feature , when we work on roadmaps or tasks that should be shared with others.
CONSSpeed!seems to be "slow" especially on mobile phone, the platform could use an upgrade in terms of response time.

Seeking A New Evernote
I am excited by Nimbus's potential and looking forward to digging into the inner workings and making it work for me.
PROSI have used Evernote pretty much since day one but it is losing its way. Nimbus looks very similar to the old Evernote style and structure so there was no learning curve. It does operate in different ways to Evernote and a month in there is a lot to learn. One area where Nimbus stands out is customer support, both via email and the Facebook page is very, very slick and quick.
CONSWhen importing my collection of Evernote documents Nimbus didn't import by folder which meant that I had to spend a long time recreating the folder structure and transferring documents to these. There was also an issue with the scroll bar running back to the top, but I reported this and I got a reply saying this would be fixed in under an hour.
Reason for choosing Nimbus Note
They did not work with my mindset, which may say more about me than the software! Nimbus also gave me the option of importing all my Evernote data which was a critical factor.
Reasons for switching to Nimbus Note
Evernote is undergoing a massive redevelopment but they have removed certain vital functions like backing up all notes and replacing them with what I consider unnecessary tools.

Finally, an all rounded note taker
Nimbus is has been a life savior in terms of combining useful tools into one simple interface, i have gotten rid of all my capture plugins, have discontinued my subscription elsewhere and i am now able to set up clients in single workspace thus eliminating confusion and maintaining tidiness.
PROSThis software combines very useful tools that i use almost every day. Its not easy to have a tool that takes notes, clips web pages, captures pages and stores your most important files all together. I love their CNAME feature and what i will love more is their whitelisting my workspace all under one roof! In addition, i get a generous storage package of 200GB and 40 workspace more than enough for my client. Nimbus is not your usual note taking tool, its the tool that other software wish they were.
CONSIt has a bit of a learning curve that i am still exploring although we have tons of resources and guides but i am taking my time to navigate through this massive software. Syncing has some issues but the team is very responsive so we are hoping they will sort it once and for all.
Reason for choosing Nimbus Note

Friendly companion to compile and take notes when doing a research project
What I like the most is the possibility to save a step when sharing informationwith my team. Before Nimbus, when working in a team project at the moment of sharing the most relevant findings of the last period of work, I ended up making a power point with the information compiled with several other apps. Now I connect to my Nimbus and wat is my notes is what I share directly. The possibility to convert this presentation into a video is another nice feature!
CONSI am sorry but at this moment I am not able to identify what I liked the least.... Seems to me a very reasonable solution to my needs

The only alternative to Evernote
Good replacement for Evernote and very easy to switch from Evernote to Nimbus because of the good import function.
PROS- easy import of Evernote enex files - Nested folders/structure - great support for embedding websites - formatting features of the editor like tables or inline images/documents - a lot new features are in the pipeline, so the app is constantly improved
CONS- Synchronization sometimes a bit slow - some (but not critical) bugs like a not correct scaling of PDFs in the viewer - no drag & drop support to drag documents directly to the app
Reasons for switching to Nimbus Note
- Horrible app since version 10 with a lot of removed features - very slow development and adding of new features - expensive

The All In One Note Solution
Nimbus Note is very easy to use. I was previously using Notion, but Nimbus offered a much better way to organize all of my notes, tasks, etc. in a way that made sense for me and my business. Its organization is more similar to Evernote, but with fewer restrictions and more features.
CONSThere are a few minor features that I used in Notion, such as being able to turn any text line into its own page for more detailed notes, but I rarely use this feature.
Reasons for switching to Nimbus Note
Nimus had more needed features. Plus I was able to get an LTD on AppSumo giving me more features and space I needed than with Notion.

Great for documents on the go
I use Nimbus note to capture ideas and notes in a place where I can access them from the computer later. I'll collect notes all day in one file, meeting notes in another, project requests from clients in another. It's just convenient and easy to use Nimbus as a personal assistant.
PROSI love that I can use Nimbus to record my thoughts from voice when driving, text when I'm sitting bored in a meeting and need to be quiet, by image when something inspires me, and even handwriting if I'm short on time to write on a tiny keyboard. It's awesome that I can take all those thoughts, link them together, and then access it from the computer when I get back to the office.
CONSI had trouble with the block layout when they first went to it. I was used to the standard entry method, then they made it look and feel like Medium -- which I can say I was never a fan of -- just like Wordpress did. It's not as intuitive to switch in the middle. Even though I'm used to it, I don't feel like I use it very efficiently. Another thing I wish I could do with Nimbus is integrate it into Rocketbook.
Reasons for switching to Nimbus Note
Because I wanted to try something new.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your review, Grace. We are happy that Nimbus Note became your knowledgebase. We got a lot of positive feedback regarding the editor but we agree that sometimes users prefer standard editors with the visible panel. But still, despite the fact it can be unusual to use, it has a lot of advantages like blocks, columns, embeds, tables, and much more. Also, we will be happy to integrate Rocketbook, but unfortunately, they still don't provide API, once they will provide it open-sourcely, we will try our best to add it to our huge list of integrations.

My Research Hub and Archive
This is one of the best investment I have made. I haven't seen so many research and documentation tools under the same roof before. I regularly use this and expect use utilize more when a few features, that are currently missing, comes up.
PROSThe thing I liked most about Nimbus is the way that my documents are tagged and stored in folders. I frequently clip articles while I browse or from emails. All this information is neatly saved to the respective project and further tagged to their appropriate section. I can't imagine going back to printing PDFs of articles and saving them in cloud drives. Nimbus cut down my document filing time to a fraction.
CONSNimbus doesnt have a mind map, nor a document map. Both these tools are rather in demand recently. We could create mindmaps in other tools and connect them to Nimbus. But having a document map showing the interconnection between notes, snippets, images etc simply takes your research to a whole new level. I really hope Nimbus brings this feature in near future.
Reason for choosing Nimbus Note
Though Blogely has a much better pure writing experience, Nimbus wins by other research features.
Reasons for switching to Nimbus Note
It was too pricy for our needs.

Thanks for your feedback, Jaheen! Great that you are going paperless with the help of Nimbus Note. Thanks for the suggestion! We are adding more and more services that you can easily embed in the note and edit your mind map right into Nimbus Note. Also, we are working on Zapier integration which will allow integrating with other needed services. It will be great if you can share your thoughts on how mind maps should work within Nimbus Note, you can use the mail team@nimbusweb.co. We are looking forward to your thoughts.
