    Synonymous with Presentation

    Date: Aug 27 2020
    Summary

    Been a user for more than a decade and PowerPoint is the default tool i sue for presentations. It is as easy as it gets and is a delight to use for creating quick or detailed presentations.

    Positive

    PowerPoint has ruled the world of presentations for over a decade and still does so with great authority. It offers a premium experience with the neat familiar ribbon interface, free designs, transitions and the wide range of features. Now, it can even be accessed using just a browser as a part of Microsoft 365 subscription helping in collaboration as well.

    Negative

    Not really a con, but i think the standalone pricing is not justified as there are a lot of free and cheaper alternatives available. But as a part of Office suite it is value for money.

    Essential Tool and couldn't get by without it

    Date: Apr 28 2020
    Summary

    Use this EVERY day for my job. Presenting to groups, using for meeting presentations, even dropping a photo in to remove the background, add arrows and other simple tasks then exporting as a PDF or JPEG. Very handy tool for many applications.

    Once you get up into the really big PPTs (1GB presentations with hundreds of slides) it starts being a resource hog on your computer and can even occasionally crash. Otherwise it is extremely reliable.
