Power Point Reviews

Power point remainsmy best tool for presenations as it gives me the freedom to choose different templates , great animations and transitions for connecting with different audience across sectors.
My experince has been great and always a delight

Pros

With Office 360, PowerPoint allows me to have great presentation by having pictures templates that ease my work and add great speed to preparing my presentation
PowerPoint offers usually offers me tools such as speaker notes, slide previews which helps and aid my delivery
The slide can be edited with short cut easily when there is typographical errors during presentations
Power point is user friendly with great liberty to choose font, characters, colour and favourite layout that adds beauty and class to your work
Its helps me personalised my work and presentations to suit any audience and makes the presentations so welcoming to then
Powerpoint has great animations and transition that i find very useful in conveying my messages and class to my audience

Cons

With the Advance artificial intelligent pictures on several website, Power points pictures and design are not up to date and literally behind.
Another issue is with the high cost of purchasing Microsoft office as compared to other software which is almost free and offering similar solutions
As good as it may sounds, power point is very difficult for beginners as they have to spend so much time trying their way around the soft ware.. It should be more users friendly so as not to go into extinction with time.
I find it very difficult opening different versions of my presentations to another PC with higher or lower version

It's the obvious choice

In regard to the work environment, there is nothing else I would trust when presenting. For personal use, this product is very intuitive and very helpful when trying something new. I definitely would recommend it.

Pros

When I think of presentations, I look for PowerPoint. I have tried the competition and always make my way back to "PP" for the convince of this multi-media product, which is used by most other businesses I work with.

Cons

On occasion, it is necessary to adjust our templates when adding, removing, or aligning content. This can greatly affect your template and may require you to delete the slide and start over. Just always remember to save your work.

PowerPoint for professional video and Presentations.

I have made a great income selling my videos and using the videos to sell my own books and to advertise my website. The software has never lost it's value and quality over the many years that I have used it. I use the product on a daily bases. I also use it to enhance my personal images, for cutting them and restyling them. I can't do business without it!

Pros

I have used Microsoft PowerPoint for over 15 years to make videos for my author video production company. The tools available have given me the ability to make high quality videos that are unique to my customer's books that get results. It's very easy to use as well. I also use it for my courses.

Cons

I wish that it offered more video transitions available.

Great and attractive offers.

The experience took place over five years. It was easy, enjoyable, and smooth to use, and I still use it on a weekly basis in various works.

Pros

What I liked most about the program is the way it presents business ideas and data on global platforms, to people, and to senior officials.

Cons

Sometimes, when transferring a file from one device to another, some of the funds are destroyed, and it is possible that the file will not be opened because the program’s software is installed on one version and is applicable to all versions.

PowerPoint - A must use in my business

Overall, PowerPoint is one tool that I use frequently in my business and often not just for presentations.

Pros

I like the designer tool. There are times when being creative is just not possible. That designer helps me out tremendously because I never really start with a blank page.

Cons

I'm not a huge fan of how the table with graphs works. Excel integration could work better, but that might be my own skill set issue. Also, I use powerpoint to stage social media graphics and the designer does not work if you change the aspect ratio... bummer cause I like to great on a 4" x 4" then scale.

Microsoft PowerPoint Experience

Pros

Microsoft PowerPoint captivates me with its array of features, such as robust text editing capabilities that allow for seamless formatting and alignment of text boxes, enhancing the visual appeal of my presentations. The offline presenting feature is a boon, ensuring I can confidently deliver my presentations even in environments with limited internet access. Additionally, the customizable templates empower me to create stunning presentations swiftly, while the search and filter functionalities streamline navigation, saving me precious time.

Cons

While Microsoft PowerPoint offers various valuable features, its reporting and analytics capabilities feel somewhat limited compared to specialized tools, leaving room for improvement in detailed data analysis. Furthermore, the data extraction process can be complex when dealing with large datasets, potentially hindering efficiency.

Documentation and Illustration - Using PowerPoint Today

Especially in the past year, I've learned so much about what more PowerPoint can do, and it's been fantastic. Today I can very quickly start a Workbook, regardless of subject matter, and have professional quality, corporate-approved materials ready in a much faster time than you'd expect. Plus, looking online for better graphics, such as timelines, funnels, etc., has really taken our experience in creation and reception of PowerPoint to another level.

Pros

PowerPoint has become the de facto tool that we use for creating all documentation, especially Workbooks, Deep Dive presentations and capturing Use Cases. From the tool itself and how well it manages our default library of fonts and colors, to the ease at which any user can pick it up and start inserting approved corporate images, edit text quickly, and allow higher functioning users to add animations and more advanced illustrative graphics.

Cons

We seem to run into issues when multiple users are sharing the same file at the same time. That's not super common, but it has led to some version-control confusion unfortunately.

And the job become well done because there is an efficiency in their work.

Pros

It enables the ability of all persons around the world in editing and presenting of works. It also improves the work of different people from all walks of life. It has a value that can help a lot of people.

Cons

The Microsoft Powerpoint gives an impact yet other people become too dependent on the slides that they are presenting. And it also high in technical problems because of too much platforms that can be used inside of it.

De Facto Tool for Presentations

I use PowerPoint to share ideas with my colleagues for upcoming projects. It's just very solid, easy to use and intuitive. Everything works as expected and I can't remember the last time I had any major technical issuers, crashes or etc while using PowerPoint, whether creating, or showing a presentation.

Pros

If you're just starting out with PowerPoint, and you're reasonably tech savvy, you'll have no problem figuring it out. It's easy to lean and create a really nice looking presentation.

Cons

It's from Microsoft. I'm just not a fan of that company, as a whole, but I realize this is subjective.

Simplicity in Presenting

Overall, Microsoft PowerPoint is a great software and is super easy to use. It is definitely worth it!

Pros

I love that PowerPoint is so easy to use. It is a great way to put all of my thoughts together and allow me to revise to get my point across. The ability to edit each slide and add fun details ensure that my power-points will stand out and express the kind of person I am within my work.

Cons

While I love PowerPoint, I do find some stress over saving my work. As a parent of young children, things can get pretty challenging when trying to get all my work done and managing the family at the same time. I would like to see an autosave option because of this. There have been times where my kids have gotten ahold of my computer and closed everything out causing me to lose all of my work.

The world’s best presentation app

I have not seen any system application as efficient in presentation as Microsoft PowerPoint, it is unarguably the best for official presentation.

Pros

It gives me so much room to explore my creativity. I tend to innovate more whenever I present my ideas on PowerPoint because it allows for easy brainstorming by members of a team.

Cons

It cannot contain much text like Microsoft word

Very easy to use for presentations

I love this program, so I’ll continue using it. I will recommend it to anyone who looks for advice of systems to use for presentations and courses.

Pros

This program is so easy to use and has so much information out on different platforms if additional help is needed. I’ve used it for years and keeping up with the updates is great.

Cons

I was disappointed a couple of years back when Microsoft fell into the annual membership fee. I get it for updates, bug j wish they would just charge for the updates or upgrades instead of making people pay an annual.

My experience with Microsoft Powerpoint

I used MS PowerPoint since I was a kid. I really liked it before and would always recommend beginners to begin designing with it if they somehow manage to get it for free. It always did the job for me and was offline as well which was a major plus point. I had never heard about other presentation software or app so I always though MS PowerPoint was the best. It was just recently that I tried other software which I found out to be much better and have never looked back on MS PowerPoint since. I felt like Microsoft PowerPoint offers less freedom to it's users in designing their presentation.

Pros

Microsoft PowerPoint might be the most used presentation software because it offers easy to make, offline presentations on the go. I like how simple it is and how easy it is to work on it. The best thing about MS PowerPoint is it's ease of use. Importing videos and photos are seamless which help in making informative presentations. Text editing is even easier and anyone can do it without much problem. One of many good things about MS PowerPoint is it's offline availability which might be the deal breaker for many.

Cons

My least favorite feature of Microsoft PowerPoint was the lack of availability of community templates. MS PowerPoint has a very less number of templates to choose from compared to other software I have used. It also misses out on adding various vectors and images created by the community. It does not give access to editing vectors and elements as well like other software. Finally, the price of the product is very expensive, and honestly, I don't think it's worth the price for the features it offers.

Microsoft PowerPoint Review

Overall, while PowerPoint is a powerful presentation tool, some users may encounter challenges with advanced features, file size, collaboration, and the potential for visual overload. However, with proper understanding and mindful usage, these cons can be mitigated to a large extent.

Pros

I like the integration with other Microsoft Office tools: PowerPoint seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft Office tools, such as Word and Excel. This integration enables smooth content transfer, collaboration, and data integration, enhancing productivity and workflow efficiency. User-friendly interface. Also PowerPoint provides a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to create visually appealing presentations. The intuitive tools and features allow users to customize slides, add animations, and apply themes effortlessly.

Cons

The Lack of real-time collaboration: Although PowerPoint does offer collaboration features, such as shared editing and comments, it does not provide real-time collaboration capabilities like some other presentation tools. This means that multiple users cannot simultaneously work on the same slide, which may hinder collaboration efficiency in fast-paced, team-based projects.

Presentation to go

Pros

PowerPoint is mostly easy to learn and use. The features and options available provide variety and diversity for basic and general use. If you're not looking for anything too fancy and complex, PowerPoint is a great platform to build information into for clear presentation purposes.

Cons

At times, PowerPoint can be limited in its automated formatting features.
