Google Slides are a seamless transition from PPT. Slides can be shared and the team can collaborate on the presentation. Slides can also be worked on by any internet connected device. We also use Slide for our digital sign in multiple buidlings spanning different counties. Cons Slides could still use an update. I think they could offer a Prezi type presentation option. Make your slides and then press the magic button and BOOM the boring death by PPT presentation is something more than a talking head reading the slide to you. Review Source Olayinka A. Customer Support Specialist Computer Hardware Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Google Slides covers my presentation needs." September 10, 2018 5.0 Google slides enable me create presentations at a moments notice.Because it is browser based,I am always able to access past presentations or create new ones ,provided I have got a mobile smart device ,tablet,pc or MacBook within reach.Also ,it has saved me money in terms of monthly subscriptions I use to pay on my Microsoft office ,which I stopped paying since 2014 when I began using Google apps. Pros Google Slides is free and makes it easy to create and access presentations from all of my devices.It also supports collaboration,which makes it easy for multiple people at a workplace or workgroup to work together on presentations ; resulting in presentations being done faster,and with better quality too.Since multiple people working together will likely arrive at a better quality,than a singular individual working on presentations all by themselves. Cons Google Slides is free to use and therefore I probably do not anticipate to get the same quality I will get from paid alternatives.More importantly too,I do very basic presentations and Google slides covers that need very well.

The collaboration features are top notch and since it comes along with a free Google account, you don't need a subscription like Microsoft Office. Pros I love that Google Slides allows me to work on a presentation with my fellow employees where we can divide and conquer, add comments and craft a presentation in real time together. It has all the features I love from Microsoft Powerpoint, but it's free with Google Drive! Cons Honestly, after using Google Slides for eight or nine years, I don't have any complaints. It's my presentation app of choice! Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) Google Slides came along free with my Gmail account. It had more collaboration features to start with and better templates, so I haven't switched back since in personal life or in my work life. Review Source Kinan J.

October 17, 2019 5.0 Been using this ever since I discovered it and never looked back at powerpoint. Saves you money when you have an office of employees that all want Microsoft office. Pros There are only pros for this product. It is free and basically does everything that you can do with Powerpoint but it is FREE. I use Google Slides literally every day and I never looked back on using Powerpoint. It is so much easier to just send links and everything is on your drive instead of files that you will lose. Cons There is literally nothing that I hate about this software. I absolutely love using Google Slides for its ease of use. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) It's free and does the same job. Review Source Mayra M.

" July 31, 2019 5.0 With Google Slides , I can make quick presentation with highly interactive features and addition of attachments. It can easily be accessed through G Suite and can perform very efficiently. Pros Google Slides is an effective way for producing the most interactive and user-friendly presentations.

Cons Google Slides is quite easy to use but there is only issue that we can't the slides on any other tool like powerpoint or Prezi.

It gives eye-catching and easily understandable presentations that ease information passing within the organization. Pros Google Slides gives several presentation themes that make it possible to create almost any type of presentation. The themes help to ease work by providing a format for the user to feel the intended information. In addition, it provides several fonts and animations absolutely for zero cash. Another good thing is that it is the ubiquitous meaning you can access them anytime in any context provided there is an internet connection. Also, it enables collaboration - users can work on the same slide at the same time. Cons It has limited storage and if the provided storage is exhausted, you have to buy another storage capacity. requires net. as always.

Because I have to be ready to deliver a presentation across many types of location, having a presentation in the cloud accessible by browser gives me tools to easily present and share in any circumstance. The downside of this is that some options, styling in particular, can be limited, compared to competing products like Powerpoint. Pros Compatible with any screen that has a browser attached. Design guides are intuitive and helpful. Multi platform support is easy—I can adjust a slide from my phone as I walk to the meeting. Explore feature helps inspire aesthetically-pleasing presentations. Cons Inability to embed audio. Can’t adjust font for text on multiple slides. Styling options limited in comparison to other tools. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) We switched because we need portability and access more than we need extensive styling options.

While Doc is pretty good compared to Word, I really prefer Slides to PowerPoint. We have multiple people working on a presentation on slides, the templates are easy to keep track of, the storage size is unlimited, can present these anywhere not needing the other person to have paid for PowerPoint. The UI is easy to use. Just great easy tool. Pros Google Slides is the only way to make a presentation that you are making with others. It is super easy to collaborate on this compared to other tools. Plus Google Slides is Free! And easy to share with anyone. Cons Doesn’t have all the features as PowerPoint but unless you are a PowerPoint power user, you won’t miss them often. Review Source Shara S.

Pros Google Slides is much more than just a presentation tool. This product has features that add interaction options for my students through chat and an easy way for me to create hyper docs.

I still use slides for most presentations, just cause it's easy. Pros How easy it is to animate and display elements of a slide one at a time. Recently discovered you have the ability to get participants to type their questions in presenter mode, which is cool (but haven't used it yet). Cons The ability to make the presentation awesome isn't there. You better be a good storyteller and have really clean slides. It's nothing special, the themes aren't particularly catchy. No ability to run quizzes or something more engaging with participants. Sharing is also easy. Review Source AA Angel A.

The platform's collaboration and sharing capabilities have made it an essential tool for team projects and presentations. The ability to access and edit presentations from anywhere with an internet connection is incredibly convenient, and the platform's seamless integration with other Google applications makes it easy to use. Pros One of the best features of Google Slides is its user-friendly interface and intuitive design. It offers a range of tools and customization options that make it easy to create engaging and visually appealing presentations. The ability to collaborate with others in real-time, access presentations from anywhere, and share them with others is incredibly convenient. Additionally, the platform integrates seamlessly with other Google applications, such as Google Drive, making it easy to access and organize files Cons While Google Slides is a powerful presentation tool, there are a few limitations to consider. One drawback is the lack of advanced animation and transition effects, which may be essential for some presentations. Additionally, the platform's offline capabilities are limited, which may be an issue for those who need to work on presentations without internet access.

It's what we all used when we were young and it's what we were all taught on and still is widely used amongst all big companies. But, that's not a reason not to know and learn about Google slides. First off, this is a free product. So there's that. Also, this is made by Google, a company that always performs in terms of software so they obviously know what they are doing. Google slides can do everything that PowerPoint can do. It's also on the web... So just imagine, you can log in to any computer or laptop or phone and have your presentation ready. No longer do you need to save your PowerPoint to a thumb drive and carry the thing and worry about it having to work on whoever's laptop that you are using. Google slides let's you simply log in to your Google account and Bam! Your slides are right there for you to use. It's got all the features of PowerPoint as well so don't think you're losing anything. In fact, I really like the Google slides user interface just like any other Google product, they really think about the user and the end user. It's got really nice themes and settings and is really convenient to use. And since it's Google, it's really easy to share with someone immediately or if you're working with someone on the slide you can work simultaneously just like a Google doc. I really think Google slides is being slept on by a lot of people because it's really that much better and more efficient than PowerPoint. Cons It does still require you to sign in with a Google account to create a slide but the benefits outweigh this necessity for sure. Review Source ML Maycol L.

Pros Google slides is a very easy way to do group work in power Point, since it is online and you can share the use and editing with different people. Cons I really have no complaints about google slides, it is online and works as if it were power Point and is very complete in every way.

It solves many business needs. Pros The features of Google Slides I like the most are the animations, collaboration tools, and easy sharing.

We use it primarily for the company I work for which has over 400 employees. It's quick and easy to use and will fit the bill for most presentation needs. Pros Google Slides is an excellent tool in our mobile world. I can make edits to a document on my computer and not have to worry about saving, uploading, etc. since it's already on my Google Drive. Open it up on my laptop and then at the same time have it open on my phone making edits there too. It is great to work on documents together and collaborate with others. I love that you are able to easily toggle back to a previous version and restore it if needed. You can also easily see who made which change which makes it great for reviewing your team's work. Cons Google Slides doesn't have near the amount of features that leading competitors offer. Most of them I don't need but there are some that I miss. For example, you can't have a unique time for each individual slide. All slides have to be the same length when presented. Review Source Shaurya A.
