It is simple, fast and easy to use, needs no installation. I can easily set up notes and highlights to my documents while reading them with the help of Sumnotes. I love this feature where we can extract and sync annotations from multiple platforms with a few clicks. Also it has a free version where they give you free access to most of the features so you can definitely give it a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It performs most of my operations with ease but for large documents/files there are some time and accuracy related issues. Although these issues are not major so maybe they can resolve these in later releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The parts on which Sumnotes needs improvement are as follows -
1. I honestly feel they should improve on the extraction and loading time as it takes a lot of time to process a large file when in comparison to small files. Also lacks the desired accuracy in larger files
2. Although the platform is feature rich, it can be sometimes a bit overwhelming to use a few tools and one needs to go through a few tuitorials to understand its working.
3. Also the selection tool isn't accurate as it tends to select the entire para intead of selecting a specific part of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The benefits of this platform are:
1. Sumnotes is the one-stop solution for data extraction that extracts annotations, notes, marking and more from the PDF files with ease. I was able to mark important notes for educational purpose.
2. Not only it acts as a notes highlighter and marker, it also acts as a PDF reader which removes the need for separate PDF viewer software.
3, The multiple formats if offers to export the notes is truly great, since I require to open the documents in different platforms which support different formats. Another personal feature of mine is the ease of sending the highlighted content over e-mail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The features I disliked about it are:
1. A shortcoming I faced is while selecting a paragraph. it automatically selects the whole paragraph which is really annoying.
2. The loading time for the uploading of large size files is too high, also leading to decrease in accuracy as compared to files of less size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sumnotes is great for extracting data out of PDFs and worked flawlessly when other methods would capture the data incorrectly. The free version was great for our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We had a couple larger files that took awhile to extract data from. Other than that, it worked great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Getting data and text/notes was always a hustle, Tried multiple tools either way the data extracted won't be with good accuracy or the format will change. Sumnote is the one-time solution for this data extraction that can extract Annotations, marking, notes from the PDF with ease. It also acts as PDF Reader as well. extracting Image is the another best option which the tool provides and its ease to use. 100 Mb and 50 Highlights provided with the free version and which satisfy the average usage.

For the first time use it was a bit confusing and keep triggering the login screen, later referring to the site embedded documentation helped the thing ease. for a large pdf file, the extraction and loading time very high and accuracy seems to less comparing the less size file.

My major is history so I spend most of my day reading articles and books. I can easily access resources on the internet so I prefer to read pdf documents. It was difficult to take notes before, but thanks to Sumnotes, I can highlight any sentence I want in the pdf document and extract it easily. I may say that studying has become easier and more enjoyable thanks to it. Sumnotes is a cloud-based application and it allows me to extract my notes in many formats and I usually prefer Word or download them on my pc. Sometimes I send it over e-mail and use the application in all ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't think it has any negative side for now. The application does everything it promises. Maybe updates may increase and more features can be added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This application is great when we look for information for an educational project, since it allows us to manage our study notes and if we are researching the network and find a content or piece of text that interests us for our project, just highlighting a text within a PDF file, allows us to export and save it and can store it in the cloud, or download it to our computer. It is very easy to use and I do not need any additional software to open the PDF files, since these can be read directly from the platform itself and I can add new notes, images or photographs before downloading it, allowing me to create a project in less time.
