But if you happen to have an Evernote database with several thousand notes… or few tens of thousand notes… the percentage of import errors increases exponentially. If you have a relatively small number of notebooks and notes it is not particularly onerous to manually adjust (copy & paste) even a couple of dozen notes. In any case, a glitch here and there is probably to be expected.

Oh, and keep in mind that I am not overly concerned with a bit of formatting issues. On the other hand, many users (including yours truly) have encountered a number of problems: notes without a title or (oh the horror) notes without actual body.

Myself, after careful consideration, I decided to move to OneNote.Īnd moving from Evernote to OneNote should be straightforward enough - after all, Microsoft offers a tool (OneNote Importer) just for this purpose.

If, by any chance, you are considering Microsoft OneNote as a possible Evernote replacement, here is some information that may be useful and may save you hours or even days of constant frustration when using OneNote Importer - the obvious tool of choice for moving your notes. Regardless of my motivations, I now see that many are thinking about abandoning Evernote and jumping at the opportunities presented by several alternatives. I moved to Microsoft OneNote being well aware that I was giving up on important features - but also knowing that I could establish a very good workflow replacement. The switch to a different product came after a careful, prolonged consideration and evaluation of my precise needs. In fact, I still follow the product's 'evolution', even though I moved away from it last March. Have been using Evernote since its introduction, and have been a paying customer for several (maybe too many) years.
