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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSOne 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.
PROSTaking 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.
CONSIt 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
PROSThe note-taking feature was super useful, especially if you already use other Zoho services.
CONSThe 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
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.
CONSIf 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.
PROSFrom 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.
CONSI 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.

Zoho Notebook a versatile note-taking tool.
It helps me to stay organized with all the processes I run daily, since I include them as notes, Zoho Notebook allows me to easily remember the tasks I have to perform when there are pending processes to be executed, without losing the thread of what has already been done and even more when we talk about processes involving customers.
PROSZoho Notebook is a very versatile tool for taking notes, I use it as my virtual agenda to record and organize all the information about the processes I perform daily in compliance and development of my work, I can always carry the information with me and easily access it from any device no matter where I am, which allows me to constantly track each of the processes and in the same way validate its evolution; Zoho Notebook allows me to organize my notes in different notebooks while I can customize them to identify them more easily (I can add different covers), I like the idea of being able to add images, videos and audio recordings to the notes which I find very useful as it helps me to remember the pending processes I have to do and not lose the coherent thread.
CONSSo far there is no displeasure with using Zoho Notebook, it does its job very well for what it was designed for, it allows me to easily and seamlessly access my notes from anywhere and device 10 out of 10 for Zoho Notebook.

Zoho Notebook is easy to use, a great choice for note taking.
Zoho Notebook allowed me to easily create my work notes and by automatically synchronizing them in the cloud they are always safe and there is not the slightest risk of losing them, at the same time they are accessible to me anytime, anywhere, it is a great tool to take notes, the UX is comforting thanks to the usability it offers, its great design and the accessibility it provides to the information stored there.
PROSZoho Notebook allows me to create, store and manage my personal and work notes easily, it gives me accessibility and portability to them regardless of device, place and time; with Zoho Notebook I can organize them in separate notebooks and add custom covers to differentiate them without much effort, also tag them to frame the degree of importance they represent to me, it is interesting to have the ability to add images, audios, links and other files from the desktop, it is also very useful its great integration with other Zoho online services: such as meetings, projects and Lens which are tools that we use in our department on a daily basis to develop many of our work activities.
CONSI don't really have any negative comments to mention about Zoho Notebook, it works perfectly for me; it meets all my needs and fulfills all my expectations.

Best product for note taking
This software is really exciting as it really making the note taking in a more fun process and make me want to use it often.
PROSZoho Notebook is best for note taking and document arrangement. The task tools also can be shared and i can collaborate the task with my team that are using the same software. The notebook is very flexible and i can add various type of media like photo and clip video on the notebook.
CONSThe only thing that i think i dislike with Zoho Notebook is the software will be very sluggish after a clip video are embedded on the note. It taking so much time for the video to be rendered and to be able to be play on the software. The photo or audio will also take some time, but not too bad as the video clip.

PROSWhat I like most is Zoho Notebook is integrated with Gmail.com so you can save your notes easily on the same page as your emails.
CONSWhat I don't like about Zoho is the security options when signing in, can become an issue if you lose your phone or logins

A Quality Note-taking Software
Zoho Notebook is a good software. It comes with many advantages, specially their cloud-feature is pretty awesome. However, there are some rooms for improvement and the authority should consider that.
PROSThere is no denying the fact that cloud-based softwares is so better in terms of performance and accessibility. No exception here at all. I loved Zoho Notebook because of its easy accessibility. I can access my notes from anywhere in the world. Not only that, I can access my notes from different types of devices. It doesn’t matter whether it’s my laptop or mobile phone, it can be accessed from anything. Besides, the checklist feature motivated me to do my tasks in time. I also love the reminder options as it helped me to remain on track of my tasks.
CONSHowever, I think Zoho Notebook needs to fix some issues. First of all, the speed issue. This software is a little bit slow compared to other competitions. Especially, when there are too many data or media files, Zoho Notebook becomes quite slow. Besides, notes are presented as cards which I don’t like much.

Create and share notes now easier with Zoho Notebook
No doubt this type of tools that facilitate some of the routine tasks are of great help for business environments which daily requires taking notes of customers, measurements and any other information concerning the nature of their own business; Zoho Notebook is shown as an aid oriented to teamwork that boosts the productivity of the members, with an excellent user experience that requires no prior knowledge for its use and implementation, certainly an excellent alternative within the framework of this type of tools.
PROSThe tool is shown with a supremely compact interface and without overload of functions, however contrasts with the intuitiveness that offers as these functions are distributed in a clear and at the fingertips of users, on the other hand is very easy to use, allows us to create, edit, share notes both in plain text and the inclusion of multimedia elements that increases the information stored in it; This for a corporate environment is beneficial when the work team interacts closely in the day to day, collaboration is an important aspect for Zoho Notebook as it encourages teamwork with impeccable form.
CONSSince we have been using the tool, it has completely fulfilled the purpose for which it was implemented, so far it has greatly facilitated our daily tasks, allowing us to take notes in a simple way and the assignment of tasks to the different members of the team is very agile.

Solid web clipper and note-taking app but no replacement for Google Keep
It's nicely designed but it's underpowered compared to the competition. I'm not a big fan of Evernote but Zoho Notebook looks weak in comparison. I'll stick with Keep since it integrates with Google Docs, my main writing too.
PROSI like the clean interface for the web app and the web clipper itself is easy to use. There's a contextual menu for clipping selected text, taking a screenshot (full-page), entering into a minimalist reader view, or creating a link card. Once the web clipper is open by clicking its browser button, you can also create a quick note in various colors. In the web app, notes and cards can be arranged into groups or tagged. The covers of notebooks can be customized, which is a nice touch. Clips updated in the web app in real time.
CONSJust like Keep, you can't clip images directly from the web. You can upload them via the web app or the clipper, however. But that's not ideal. Some sort of misguided copyright concern. This is not going to prevent anyone from either collecting images or misusing them. It's just going to annoy users. Tasks can only be created via the apps not the web clipper. Notebook doesn't integrate with Zoho Writer or any other Zoho app so it's very much a standalone.

The App Works Well, but the Cloud Sync Isn't Great + It Can't Sync to Any CRM
-The UI is fantastic. Really straightforward, pretty, and powerful. -I love the different types of notes (e.g. voice recording notes, checklist notes, attachment notes, etc.) -It really holds up super well with Evernote or Mac Notes. It's also got a GREAT (award-winning) iOS app.
CONS-The cloud syncing isn't on point. I've had a few times where I've created a note on my phone, but it didn't sync to my computer 5 hours later because I hadn't clicked "done". -It can't sync to any other services. Even to Zoho CRM :(

Zoho Notebook: Best online notebook I've found
Makes it so much easier to keep track of things online.
PROSI love being able to add any sort of content, whether its notes, checklists, links, files, pictures, or any combination of those. I know there's alot of apps similar to Zoho Noteook; I swear I have tried way more than I can count, but they were always too...much. Too complicated for why I was wanting a notepad. I didn't want to spend an hour learning how to use, then set up, a simple notebook. The layout is easy to understand and very tasteful.
CONSI have no complaints at this point-- I absolutely this software!

An Unexpectedly Good Notebook App
My friend recommended the app to me as Evernote alternative. I have no high expectation, but it’s really good, and it’s free. It’s easy to use, looks good, and supports many file types. It organizes notes into notebooks, with the notebook visuals and everything. It’s also colorful.
CONSThis app would be more perfect if it can create spreadsheets and supports simple database.
