Note taking from the Windows PC or from the mobile device is something that is the order of the day. This is something that many users carry out in their day to day, among other things in order to order their lives a bit thanks to technology. For this we can use software solutions such as Evernote or Google Keep, two of the best known proposals in this sector.
But these cloud platforms or local applications, there are both types, they are not limited to allowing us to take notes, they go much further. In fact, its functionality has been increasing over time, no longer limited to texts. These types of platforms known as noticeable, today already allow us to upload photos, texts , videos, links , URLs, and all kinds of content that will be useful in the future. Hence precisely one of the secrets of its success.
As we mentioned before, Evernote is one of the most veteran proposals of this type, while Keep is from Google, and with that it has already won a lot. However, despite the popularity that both have gained, the search giant’s platform still cannot be compared to Evernote. Of course, before listing some of the reasons for this, there is something that we must bear in mind. Here we mean that Keep can be used without paying a single euro, while enjoying all the functions of Evernote has a cost.
But let’s look at some of the reasons Keep has yet to improve to catch up with this other note-taking proposition.
Evernote is more complete, it has more functionalities
To begin with, we will talk about one of the most important points in this regard. More for those who seek the maximum in their notes application, both on a personal level and more professionally. And we can say that at the moment Evernote is a more powerful and complete application than Keep. Not in vain they have been improving and updating their proposal for all types of public for many years. This is where its popularity and widespread use come from to a great extent, for all that it offers us from a single interface .
What’s more, this is a proposal that is prepared to meet the needs of users who use these platforms at the business level. However, Google Keep is more focused on the end user who is not looking for complications.
Application availability is not comparable
With this, what we want to tell you is that Evernote has a native application for practically any operating system or device. However Goole Keep is much more subject to the cloud from the browser, having an app for Android, as might be expected. With everything and with this, it still has to grow to reach the rest of the systems natively, which for some is a drawback.
Evernote is a more independent application
When talking about this popular note-taking application, among many other things, we refer to a utility that works by itself, without sharing data outside of its environment, even if it is extensive. On the contrary, Keep is part of the entire ecosystem that makes up Google Drive, which for many is a serious problem related to the privacy of the data that we keep here.
Very different user interfaces
Google offers us with Keep a platform to take notes that is characterized by its simplicity, so its user interface is consistent with this premise. However, the user interface of its competitor is much more complete, as well as complex. Therefore, the preference of each one here will depend on what you are looking for. But with everything and with it, for those looking for a complete experience in this sense, they will opt for an interface like the one presented by Evernote.
