If Evernote hasn't found a set of features people would be willing to pay for in their ten years of existing, I doubt another round of funding is really the solution. I'd much rather see them reduce their staff to an amount they can afford given their MRR, and focus on fleshing out the features that people are actually willing to pay for.
- raverbashing 8y agoEvernote is not a product, it's a feature. Hence why you have equivalent or better software from other companies Also, it also struck me as not very user friendly and a tad bureaucratic
- incadenza 8y agoMaybe I’m oblivious, but I’ve never heard bureaucratic applied to software. I’ve got to say it fits perfectly in this case.
- drb91 8y agoJIRA also fits the bill.
- pandapower2 8y ago"enterprisey" is a word I've heard used to describe jira a few times. Its meant as an insult.
- ownagefool 8y agoEnterprise software: - Slow GUI - Horrible Java thing - Complicated - Weird patching process - Doesn't integrate with what you want (or does but costs more) - Bought and mandated by somebody that doesn't need to use it (:
- gaius 8y agoJIRA out of the box is fairly sane. The problem is it’s so easy to customise and project managers go crazy with statuses and custom fields and mandatory transitions.

- DEADBEEFC0FFEE 8y agoI was a paying customer for a couple of years. Their failure to make cutting and pasting bullet lists, intuitive, despite many people complaining for years was enough to make me leave. I just snapped one day and walked away, never looked back. I really did like their OCR features. I guess I like lists more.
- benrapscallion 8y agoOCR is their most important feature, and that is mainly what I pay for. The clip extensions for browsers and Skitch are nice too, but not as essential.
