Evernote has more than 200 millions users from all the world.
In Evernote you can store whatever you want and organize it in a way you want. No limitations at all.
I use Evernote in many occasions, as a note taking software, personal information manager and even as a file manager. It's powerful tagging system allows you to organize every type of information. This way you are not limited on it's built-in search console.
Evernote allows you to work simultaneously with more databases if you want. In my own experience you don' need to create more databases for different types of notes. The tagging system can handle all of this.
Evernote database size is note limited, only by your hardware. My main database is around 60 GB with more than 30k notes. I haven't experienced any slowdowns or crushes. It's very optimized and works perfectly even with slow computers. My laptop configuration is the following: i3 processor with 4 GB RAM and 750 GB hard drive. Very average configuration.
Possible uses of Evernote note taking software
- Todo list ( You can create todo lists, insert timers etc)- Brainstorming tool
- Note taking software (No limit of notes you can create)
- File manager
- Storing photos
- Researching tool
- Diary

- etc
Once you try Evernote, you will use it forever. I am using it with combination of C-Organizer Pro and Personal Knowbase. When I need complex brainstorming I use XMind brainstorming software and after I import it in Evernote.
