This tool allows multiple users to contribute simultaneously, ensuring that everyone is accessing the latest version of the project. It comes equipped with features like commenting, chat, and tools for real-time editing.

    Google's answer to Powerpoint

    Updated: Nov 10 2020
    Summary

    Everything in Google and Microsoft's office suites are pretty reliable and can be interchangeable with each other if you keep track of your file types. Google Slides is a great, free replacement for Powerpoint if you don't want to pay for it and don't have access to an .edu email. I find students tend to prefer using the Google office suite products over Microsoft's, and when I was a student, this was the case for my peers as well. Students won't have to download anything and only need to be able to work a browser. Collaboration is easy, but you'll need a good internet connection while you work.

    Positive

    It works essentially exactly like Powerpoint. Whatever you can do in Powerpoint, you can do in Slides and themed slides you find online for Powerpoint will also work in Slides too. Professionally, I usually went with Powerpoint, but during my college years I preferred Slides because I typically found it easier to use in group projects. You can also easily work in Slides and then switch over to Powerpoint if you need to do some offline work elsewhere.

    Negative

    Unlike Powerpoint, you'll need an internet connection to keep working. If your connection isn't good, be prepared for a lot of frustration if you don't have another similar program on hand. Like Sheets, I've had some times where it just froze for seemingly no reason, but this didn't happen enough to make it annoying or unusable.

    Google Slides - Review

    Date: Jun 06 2020
    Summary

    I am using Google Slides from the very start of the product. My main reason to use Google slides was that the desktop presentation application cannot handle large files and crashes so often in case of large data. Many people can work on the slides simultaneously because of online collaboration.

    All of the content is saved to the drive and is easily accessible in any format like pdf, ppt, and so on. I would definitely recommend slides for a group of people where collaboration is the key.

    Positive

    (+) One can use google slides with ease and adapt to it.
    (+) It is completely free and comes with a 15GB data storage attached to Gmail for the free version where the enterprise version gets 30GB.
    (+) Google slides provide very good recommendations for shapes, layouts, designs, and structures.
    (+) Multiple collaborators can put comments on the presentation.
    (+) One can easily export the presentation as pdf or ppt

    Negative

    (-) Editing slides is easy on desktop presentation compared with Google slides
    (-) Importing slides from another presentation is not handy.

    helps me collaborate with my whole company

    Date: Nov 13 2019
    Summary

    Overall I'm a huge fan of google slides. Our business used to use powerpoint before I got here and i have transitioned us to google slides and it has saved a ton of back and fourth between design and management. It also made it a lot easier to quickly update and distribute documents without getting lost in old versions.

    Positive

    The collaboration abilities of google slide are unparalleled. Powerpoint lets me get a little more detailed but it is a nightmare to share decks which is very important when working with a team.

    Negative

    not as many design features as I would like. could offer some more bells and whistles
