Windows or Mac works well, and making client-based documents is flawless because of its customization ability.

Being able to add a note on the fly to a "to-do" list or add a needed item to a "grocery" list with ease. It's handy being able to access it from practically anywhere. I often find myself needing to do a task and pulling out my phone to add it to my to-do list.

Pros
  • More control over our data
  • Ability to customize it as per our needs
  • Cross platform work like Windows and Mac is good
Read full review
  • It's incredibly quick to load, it doesn't take long to pull up any note you have no matter how much information is in the note.
  • The ability to collaborate on a Google Keep note is also great! It allows for two or more of you to work on a project in one space.
  • I also love that I can color coordinate. I can make all my meeting notes one color, my personal notes another color and so on.
  • Enjoying the pinning feature that allows me to keep my important notes right at the top so I don't have to go searching for them when needed.

Cons
  • Adding more examples for help
  • Nothing more as it is such a good software
Read full review
  • The iOS app sometimes gets into a state and doesn't update your notes (won't show new notes from other devices / computer), needs to be re-installed to resolve
  • Your notes take up space in your Google account's quota, though this is not very apparent at first - you have to keep an eye on what you are storing - huge pictures better not go in there

It does everything I need it to do. It is easy to organize and categorize what I need and what I want to see.

Google Keep is very easy to use. Currently, the company I work for has employees from different age brackets, and this is one of the easiest apps on G-Suite to explain. Not a lot of people use it, but it is due to personal choice since a lot of people still prefer pen and paper to keep their notes.

I gave this rating based on the ease of use, the simple functionality and how well it does at keeping my attention and helping me continue to use it and stay on track. The functionality mentioned before alongside the reminder functions and how it utilizes Google's powerful machine learning tech to better its software is remarkable.

I used to use Evernote before Google Keep, it is an excellent product too but I found it too heavy. At the time (not sure about now) it always wanted to download all your notes onto your device before you can start using it. Google Keep is more a cloud product, so it's lighter on your device, it doesn't download every note you have at once. Also I tended to store a lot of heavy things in Evernote because it seemed to encourage me to do that, like large photos and documents. Google Keep encourages me to focus on text only mostly, though it will take a photo as part of the note as well. I also like Google Keep because it is a part of my Google Account and integrates with other Google products.

  • Quick note-taking and easy access to reminders reduce time wasted on forgotten tasks, improving efficiency.
  • Digital note-taking reduces the need for notebooks, sticky notes, and printed task lists.
  • Employees sometimes need to move notes to Google Docs for better formatting, leading to extra work.
