On-premise customizable presentation solution that helps organizations of all size create and modify presentations with templates, themes, clipart, audio & video integration, cloud-storage and more.
ProPresenter is designed for productions of all sizes which enables users to show videos, lyrics, and graphics making it easy to create high-quality live events.
There is also a super useful guide that gives recommendations based on the current slide layout for how it can be changed to become more appealing.
I have never had a client complain of a difficult experience with the software or inability to open files of their presentation.
Also, the ability to insert pictures, videos, and other multimedia content, the ability to create custom slide layouts, and most importantly the ability the ability to share presentations online.
It can be limited in performance and often one wrong click can land you with a very distorted slide that needs to be redone.
I've had a great experience using this software. I'm able to quickly put together stunning presentations that are visually pleasing with ease.
The only problem I see with the program is that it seems to have trouble with other hardware. If I press a remote, it does not always move on to the next slide.
I had very good experience with this product. Very good technical support and very good software.
One of the bad things to use PowerPoints is that it will be boring for the audiences if the presenter is a poor speaker and if the presenter can not use the slides properly.
What I like best about pro presenter is that the company is constantly improving and updating their product.
We have implemented this software with a team primarily made up of volunteers, and it is a struggle at times for them to troubleshoot issues that arise beyond basic problems.
The live steaming of the app is so good that i will count it at the top in the things that i liked the most. The church management is very easy with propresentor.
If I had to pick anything to dislike about this software, it would have to be license restrictions.
I like the ease of use and visual cues. I also like how you can set up how you like and it customized for your needs.
I'm disappointed, and am testing other software to potentially replace ProPresenter at our Church.
I love how easy it is to set up and hand off to a volunteer to operate. The best part about propresenter is how easy it is to use, but how flexible the software is.

Jose: My name is Jose. I'm an inside sales/outside salesman for an industrial distributor company selling all types of conveyor parts for the ag industry, and I would rate PowerPoint five out of five. Regarding the other companies, I don't believe we use them, just because of the compatibility with Microsoft. So whenever you try to basically blend it with the other Microsoft companies, it's just kind of weird. So then the other ones don't really have extensive templates, backgrounds, different types of basically inserting images, everything seems more complicated than the way Microsoft has laid out everything. The reason why I like Microsoft PowerPoint, it makes it super easy to do sales presentations for our customer. We use it basically on a daily basis. We're always trying to set up sales presentations where a customer [inaudible 00:01:04], see what we could offer, the transitions, we really like the transition of each slide, the way it transitions back, you can choose whether it's quick, whether it's slowly, with or without special effects. We like that it has an extensive amount of background templates, and then you can insert pictures straight off the web, or whether you have it saved by your computer. And then saving it onto your computer is just a breeze, because it just automatically goes. And then, yeah, that's it. I think it's extremely easy to onboard and start using PowerPoint. I've been using it since I was a kid, but at work, quite literally, anybody could just get on the app, and you don't even really need to know what you're doing. It's there for you, whether... Every single tool is available to you through the toolbar. So whether you want to format the page, want to insert photos, want to insert videos, or you want to transition slides, it's right there on the toolbar. You don't have to go looking for it. Just hit format, hit tools or whatever it is, and then it literally tells you what you need to do. Or the first thing, whenever you first onboard to PowerPoint, it's whether you want to start a blank template or you want to start basically one that's already been made. So that kind of makes it easier sometimes for the newer folks at our company, where we can throw them the app, and then they can pick a template that's already been made by Microsoft themselves. So it makes it really good. I would recommend PowerPoint. I would say best thing about it is, like I said, the compatibility with all of the Microsoft stuff that's already out there, whether it be Word or Excel, it just does really well. I would recommend it just because it's easier for the newer folks. You don't have to teach somebody how to use it. You just throw them the app, like I said, quite basically really simple to use. And I like it mainly because of the templates that are already made for you. So I think Microsoft, there's one that has a sales presentation, so you literally just open up the app, you hit sales presentation, and it's already got the layout for what a sales presentation should look like. Now all you have to do is basically edit it to your style to whatever you're trying to sell, but it's literally already there. It's showing you how to do a sales presentation.
Daniel J.: Hi, my name's Daniel. I'm at South County Bible Church. I'm the Associate Pastor here. We've been using ProPresenter for about 10 years, and I'll give it four out of five stars. We use ProPresenter every week, although not on a day-to-day basis. We use it for projecting lyrics and video content in our sanctuary on Sunday mornings. We also use it for rehearsals, but that's just for preparing for that Sunday service. What we like most about ProPresenter is that it just works for the most part. You can import all kinds of different content. It connects to a lot of the different services like SongSelect and other places that you can subscribe to that'll help you create your slides easier. It seems like no matter what kind of file I throw at it, ProPresenter can read it. In the last couple of years as the new versions of ProPresenter have come out, they've switched to a subscription base. The good thing about that is that they do seem to have a lot of new content and a lot of new features as time has gone on, and it works for the most part. They do seem to release updates so quickly that sometimes I feel like they aren't completely bug tested because we've had to, probably three times in the last year, we've had to roll back to a previous version because the new stuff they've added doesn't work right away. We've had to implement a test and see rather than just update. To be honest, the cost every year to subscribe is pretty prohibitive. Thankfully, our church is financially able to do that, but it used to be you'd buy it and it would just work for three or four years and then you'd buy the new version, so paying every year is a little bit of a burden.
