Microsoft OneNote can be considered as a true competitor and the best alternative to Evernote. It covers most of the features (except chat feature available in Evernote) that you find in Evernote.

You can upload as many notes to OneDrive account and attach files to notes without worrying about the data usage, as free plan of OneDrive offers storage space in GBs.
Apart from this, OneNote comes with feature to password protect any section available in a particular notebook. Options to capture snapshots, edit snapshots, create drawing, add unlimited pages to a particular section, etc., are also present in OneNote. Moreover, you can also backup the whole notebook, a particular section, or a page as PDF, DOC, XPS, or in native format of OneNote.
