Pros Google Slides is not a difficult tool to use. All of its features are quite self-explanatory and the UI is simple and user-friendly.

It's super easy to work on. As it is on the cloud, your work will be auto-saved and you can access the files across devices. The support is very quick. Pros It has a User-Friendly and Minimal Interface. Also, it's free to use, you don't have to pay for it like Microsoft Office.It's synced with other Google tools like Keep, calendar, tasks, google drive, and much more. Integration between them becomes easy. You can even work with your colleagues or friends at the same time, it also offers free templates. The best part is you can use it as a professional as well as a student. And if you are a techy guy they also have features for app scripts and you can even add extensions, that will make your work a lot easier. Cons Honestly, there is no such thing that I least or don't like about Google Slides. Its a wonderful tool. Review Source Jacob T.

I love how everything automatically saves. This is an extremely important feature, especially for those that put a lot of work into a project just to have something go wrong where they have to start from the beginning and lost all of their work. Google Slides does away with that. Pros I love the ability to share presentations or to link them to others. This is great for those working in a team. Cons More fonts and themes can be uploaded into the program so that it has the same number as Powerpoint.

November 30, 2023 5.0 My overall experience has been super positive while using google slides. It has really creative templates for us to use, really slick animations, and makes it easy for us to collaborate with teammates when creating trainings! Pros I really like that Google Slides is so easy to use and collaborate with my team members. When I present, having the speakers notes with clean animations has given me the confidence to present that a pro. I have noticed staff are way more engaged when I use google slides! Cons I like everything about Google Slides. It makes me feel like a pro presenter! Review Source RW Raymond W. Clinical Social Worker Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Slide on Over to Google for Your Presentations" May 15, 2022 5.0 Overall, I forgot I was not using Powerpoint after the first few presentations. The tools are intuitive and easy to use. My finished products have been well received and no one has ever voiced a concern about any of them. Pros I was thrilled to find such a high quality presentation software available free of charge! Cons There were a few times when slides presented slightly different from how they looked when I was editing them. I would recommend not putting important information too close to the edges of the slides, since the margins of some of my slides seem to have shifted and the edges were lost. This was not frequent and may have been something I did wrong Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) I decided to try out Google Slides because I didn't have a current licence to Powerpoint. Review Source CM Camila M. Product Operations Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent resource for presentation" March 7, 2023 5.0 Pros Google Slides is used daily by me and the whole team, I really like how easy it is to use, it can be used online and it is increasingly being integrated with other Google tools such as google meets. This has greatly facilitated and optimized the product. Cons Although I think it's an excellent product, I still miss deeper editing and customization features, we have other tools on the market that provide more complete ready-made design templates, and others that provide more customization of presentations with features and functionality. Alternatives considered [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/)[Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Reason for choosing Google Slides Ease of use online Review Source Kurt H. Creative Director/Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for Presentations" March 14, 2021 5.0 I use Google Slides weekly for a variety of client presentations. I especially ramped up a few years ago when we had a client that required frequent presentations to a range of audiences. We just started keeping a living document of various status items that we worked in daily. That way we were always ready to go to give a presentation on status at a moment's notice. We now do this across clients. Instead of waiting until right before the monthly meetings, we add updates as they occur throughout the month. Then it only takes a quick 15-minute review to clean things up before the meeting and the presentation is ready to go. Pros For a presentation software, I really like Google Slides because it is so easy to use and it is cloud based so I can access it from anywhere and easily share it with my team and clients. Cons I really have not had any bad experiences using Google Slides. The only possible downside is that being cloud based, you could run into issues using it/accessing it if you don't have a good internet connection or for some reason internet is down. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) I prefer the cloud-based set up of Google Slides so everything is easily accessible online by multiple people vs. being trapped on one single computer. Review Source Stephanie D. Holistic Health and Wellness Coach E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple Solid" August 29, 2019 5.0 Overall, compared to Pages, and Powerpoint, I just love the simplicity of it. Pros Overall I've been using Google Slides to present to adults and teens for over 5 years. I also teach young adults how to pitch through entrepreneurship, I love how Google Slides is versatile, can be added, shared anywhere and through a variety of platforms. I think the designs are simple and sleek allowing my students and clients to not focus on busy designs and really focus on the quality of the content and message behind their work. Cons Nothing, there is nothing I can say I like least about it, for the most part if someone wanted more options Pages is the more diverse, robust software but there are so many great Google Slide templates you can easily download to save you time. Review Source Muhammed Ö. Ceo Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Google Slayt Derecelendirme " July 18, 2023 5.0 My experience in Google Slide is very good and I love it. I prepare many presentations and share them with people in a comfortable way, although there are some problems, I use them with pleasure. Pros I liked the convenience of Google slides the most, and I liked the animation supports and the media library. Cons When it is offline, it restricts some things and prevents us from moving freely in it. And another thing is that there are always advertisements. Review Source Bryanna E. Teacher Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Classroom Tool" March 4, 2020 4.0 For the classroom, I really think google slides is the way to go. It eliminates students’ ability to “forget” their assignments and allows me to see real-time changes they are making. Pros I use this in my classroom and I love that you can collaborate with other people so easily by sharing the file through the google drive. It makes working with my students and other teachers so much easier, plus the kids don’t have an excuse to not turn it into me. I can see all the changes they make and even make suggestions through the slides as they’re working to complete assignments. I also enjoy that files can be opened any time you have Internet access and you can even set them to offline modes to view and edit without internet as well. Cons I think the biggest drawback is that I’ve used Microsoft PowerPoint up into my school got chrome books and I like the designs and features better in PowerPoint. Google slides gets the job done, but I think there’s less room for creativity. Review Source mD maykon D. diretor Civil Engineering Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Arkon-Google Slides" March 6, 2023 4.0 No geral o Google Slides e uma ótima opção para colaboração em tempo real e compartilhamento fácil de apresentações. Pros O que mais gosto no Google Slides são as ferrramentas de colaboração que inclui recursos como comentários, sugestões e histórico de revisão, que ajudam a manter o controle de todas as alterações realizadas na apresentação, assim torna o trabalho em equipe mais eficiente e garante que todas as pessoas envolvidas estejam sempre atualizadas sobre o andamento do projeto. Cons O que menos gosto de fato e a falta de recursos avançados de edição de imagem e vídeo e uma desvantagem para usuário que precisa criar apresentações visualmente atraentes e complexas. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Strategy & Operations Manager Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for collaboration but not much else" March 21, 2022 3.0 Great for making collaborating presentations which don't require lot of charts/ data Pros Google slides (as is the rest of G-suite) are great for collaboration. You can easily create presentations and get feedback from the team and clients. Cons Awful charting capabilities and no way to make good visuals. Also since the charts have to be copy-pasted from sheets, they render poorly and appear like a poorly taken screenshot. It's also extremely inefficient if you are a PowerPoint power user. Review Source David G. IT Project Manager Investment Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Collaborative PPT" January 12, 2019 5.0 Pros Google has provided us with a collaborative tool for making presentation slides online. Works best with group/teammates working on the same deck as you can see in realtime their edits, there's a space for a chat, and there's a revert to previous versions available. There are many templates available, which seem pretty decent and some even professional looking and attractive. Of course, it is linked to your Google account and drive so no worries of having the file missing (or not saved in the USB when it's time to present). Cons Compatibility with Powerpoint (.pptx) files. My experience is that the formatting gets messed up. This is understandable though since there may be a mismatch with the fonts, and the file handling done by proprietary Microsoft. That's why just do you presentation as simple as possible (in terms of design and fonts), and best if you start and finish all the work from Google sheets at the outset. Review Source Jessica A. Co-Owner Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Using Google Slides " January 2, 2020 5.0 My overall experience using Google Slides has been amazing. I use Google Slides to create presentations for my organization. I also use Google Slides with my daughter who I homeschool when she needs to make preparations for her classes. My daughter is in 10th grade and can easily navigate and use Google Slides. Pros I love that this software is free to use. I find it extremely helpful for making presentations as it's extremely easy to use and then share presentations with/to my managers & staff. Plus the ability to export Google Slide presentations into pdf format is great! Cons I wish there were more templates to choose from. That lack of templates is the main con. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) I switched to Google Slides as it is more widely accessible. Plus I can use Google Slides with ease on my cellphone. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Highly Recommend" July 18, 2023 5.0 Google slides is a reliable presentation app to use daily. It has strong collaboration capabilities, however it is missing a few tools from Excel. Overall it helps me get my job done daily as a free tool. Pros Free creation tool onlineGreat collaboration featuresEasy to learn and use daily for small projects Cons Can not export to video Missing some of the tools Excel hasNo audio import available Review Source Matthew K. Chemist Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An easy and great way to make presentations for group projects" February 26, 2021 5.0 Overall google slides is laden with benefits and the features incorporated within the software has to be enough to call it one of the best pieces of free software out there. I would say it competes well with PowerPoint and in comparison, google slides is well ahead of the game in terms of its online sharing capabilities. Pros Google slides is the perfect tool for making presentations especially when you are paired up with a group. You can, at the click of a button easily share your document with your colleagues/team members and simultaneously edit the document together which is great! They provide a lot of fantastic templates which help make your presentation look attractive and professional and you also have the ability to assign tasks and leave comments for colleagues which allows for better communication to help solidify your overall presentation. Cons Unlike other software from competitors (PowerPoint) some features are actually quite hard to find and you really have to look hard on the interface to find what you are looking for. Apart from that, we have not really had any problems, even their mobile app works smoothly which is good! Review Source BP Brian P. Associate Software Architect Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing presentation design tool" May 11, 2019 5.0 I use Google Slides regularly, not exclusively to make and alter introductions yet in addition to see and remark slides from other individuals. I am regularly training college courses and Google Slides has been an astonishing instrument in this specific circumstance. It is anything but difficult to get and remark on the slides of understudies. My involvement with Google Slides has been extraordinary. In the event that the instrument had progressively complex highlights, like other introduction programs, the apparatus would be impeccable. Pros My kindred chiefs in my organization expected to show together yet we are once in a while in reality together. Rather than messaging forward and backward or far more atrocious gathering face to face to go over our slides-we as a whole just utilized google slides from the solace of our own workplaces. Google slides makes simplicity of introduction on introduction day since we aren't all changing to new reports the majority of our commitments are in one spot! Likewise, we had the option to see every others slides to make a uniform look. When I required my slides checked on before my introduction my manager was basically ready to sign on and see as opposed to sending forward and backward. So natural! Cons The product on occasion runs very moderate! I normally simply need to restart the program and that would fix it yet I didn't love that. Likewise, it tends to be a smidgen dubious to make sense of how to utilize every one of the impacts. Another chief attempted to direct me via telephone it would be useful on the off chance that I could turn on having the option to see their activities so I could gain from them.

June 25, 2022 4.0 As compared to other products in the market, Google slides is one of the best option to present your Slides. it still needs improvement but it is free and worth a try. Pros One of the major advantage of using Slides is that, it is free. One can work on slides with their team simultaneously which is very important in the work. It has automatic Save option so no need to press "ctrl+s" every time. Your presentation is saved in the drive so we can have access from anywhere, even through Mobile. Integration with other google products is an added advantage. Cons Need some more themes and templates. Not much tools are also provided as compared to MS PowerPoint. Animations also need to be added. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) To prepare and present online. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business owner Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best way to create and Present your slides" October 19, 2022 5.0 I can create/design my slides - then I can share them with whoever I need to - do real-time edits and comments on the doc for editing purposes. I love to use the comments for requests - to ask my designer to fix or add certain things. I can then present the slides as well which is great so I don't have to use other software there as well. All my presentations are stored on the cloud and I can still access and edit them offline which is great. It is really easy to use. Pros I love being able to create presentations and share them with my team or clients. Edit them in real-time and leave comments. I love how easy it is to use and that changes are saved automatically. I love that I can share it or keep it private – enable editing permission or not. It was so easily integrated into my business.

I also love the real-time online collaboration functionality of Google Slides. It's just easier to use. Review Source Heidi E. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Convenient, easy to use, and great for education!" October 10, 2019 5.0 As an educator, Google Slides has helped me create lessons for numerous classes. I have not only been able to create customized presentations, students have been able to create their own products using Slides as well. It's a great tool for anyone who wants to present information easily. Pros I enjoy the ease of use and the integration with Google Drive. Your work saves automatically, so you never have to worry about losing it. With Google Drive, your work is available anywhere you need it. You can view, share, and download it across any device. Slides is very easy to customize and includes many easy-to-use themes to make your content compelling. Features such as text tools, colors, animations, and finding content to add such as photos through the Explore button, make Slides a great choice for teachers and anyone who wants to make a nice presentation. Cons Google Slides does lack some of the customization features of other presentation software such as Microsoft PowerPoint, however, I have not found these to be overly important. The ease of use outweighs this.

Director of Recuiting Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use " November 23, 2023 4.0 It has been great experience using this product, despite my comments talking about the negative aspect of Google Slides I enjoyed using it. I would highly recommend this service to anyone. Pros It is free and accessible to anyone with a Google account. For someone who works in recruiting, my team members would work on collaborative projects that would require my team members to present frequently. This is a great tool for promoting teamwork in the company I am currently employed. Cons There are limited options for design customization. Due to the limited amount of templates, I would have to search the website to find a certain template and then download it to Google Slides.
