Review
Evernote Web Clipper earned a score of 7.4 out of 10 in our tests. This rating suggests a tool that performs adequately but may require improvements in certain areas.
In our review of Evernote Web Clipper, we considered the categories Features, Design, Ease of Use, Security & Privacy, Value for Money and Performance. Each category was given equal importance and we'll dive into the details of each in the following section.
Features 8.5
Evernote Web Clipper offers a large number of functions that make it easier to save and organize web content. These include simple bookmarking, but also other functions such as the ability to add highlights and comments to screenshots, which we find particularly useful.
A very important main function for us is also to set tags and easily find saved data, photos, or similar using tags. Titles can also be added here to display them clearly in your notebook.
Design 7.0
The design is functional, but not particularly intuitive. Although the interface is clear, navigating the settings and functions is somewhat confusing. Improvements in the design of the user interface could improve the accessibility of the tool for a larger target group.
Ease of Use 6.5
The tool has a slightly larger learning curve, especially for new users. Numerous shortcuts can be defined for easy clipping, but it can take a long time from initial setup to full use. In addition, many users have reported problems with logging in and loading the tool.
Security & Privacy 8.0
Evernote Web Clipper handles user data responsibly and has clear data protection guidelines. However, the tool does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals, which could be problematic for some users who value this. The data is stored on US servers, meaning data protection law applies there.
Value for Money 7.5
The extension itself is free, but it is only really useful when the paid version of Evernote is activated. Considering that you have to think your way in to set everything up and use it, the price-performance ratio might be a bit expensive for basic users.
Performance 7.0
Performance is a major drawback of Evernote Web Clipper. Many users report issues in reviews about the tool not loading or not working properly. Although it offers many features, these performance issues can be annoying and limit overall effectiveness. In our tests, only a few minor performance issues were detected.
Conclusion
Evernote Web Clipper is a good tool for anyone who needs to save and organize web content. Its integration with Evernote makes it a powerful extension for productivity enthusiasts, especially if Evernote is already in use. Drawbacks include ease of use and performance issues reported by users. Overall, it is a strong tool but may require some patience and troubleshooting.
