Director of Consulting Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Viable alternative to PowerPoint with visually attractive slides and a robust template library" June 29, 2022 5.0 Decktopus is a great choice when you need to quickly wrap your message in a visually appealing slide deck; it lets you focus on the content rather than the slide design. The lack of control over sharing slides is my main frustration, which I hope the team can solve without implementing another one-time, add-on fee. Pros The visual design of the stock templates is what attracted me to this software. Although PowerPoint's templates have gotten better over the years, you can still easily tell when a presenter has just selected and modified a stock PowerPoint template or worse, opted for the DIY white background and black Arial font look..."Here we go again, death by PowerPoint, I hope the presenter put more thought into their analysis than they did into their slide design..." Cons I miss the ability to have a slide sorter view like PowerPoint. For short 10-slide presentations, the lack of this feature isn't a big deal. However, for longer presentations, scrolling back and forth through the deck to rearrange slides quickly becomes frustrating. Sharing slides is easy but lacks obvious controls of who can view the deck. Maybe I'm missing something here but sharing seems to be all or nothing. There doesn't appear to be a way to "unshare" a deck once the public URL has been shared and there is no way to generate private URLs to share the deck with only specific people based on their email address. It's puzzling why this feature is missing. From the Help Center, "Note: This sharing URL is a public URL, everyone can see your presentation using this public sharing URL." Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) PowerPoint's built-in templates are overused and tired. When I don't have time to create a custom template or hunt around online for a nicer-looking template, I'll use Decktopus to quickly get something presentable together. Review Source Response from Decktopus July 7, 2022 Hello Courtlin! Thank you so so much for your great review and feedback!

Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent alternative to MS PowerPoint " July 13, 2021 5.0 I love it. I create all my weekly client presentations in Decktopus. I reckon it saves me at least 2 hours every week. Pros Create classy presentations quickly using easy to customize templates. It's super easy to customize templates compared to PowerPoint. Once you select the style and color, you're ready to go. I spend less than 10 minutes on customizing templates. Cons The stock image selection is limited. But with so many free image and illustrations available on the net, it isn't a big issue. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) PowerPoint is a bloated piece of software. Sure it does 100s of things that Decktopus can't. But finding and customizing a template takes more time than creating the presentation.

Thank you for your understanding and again we apologize." February 27, 2024 1.0 fun until the new version was here... i want all my presentations as they were Pros i was really a fan of the decktopus until the new version came online... my work was re-formated and seems like I have to redo it all over again... thank you very much for that I think I have to look for another alternative Cons replies like like this: if the texts or images are in a different position or size, you can easily adjust them from the editing page. During the transition of decks to the new version, there have been no alterations in content; however, modifications in design may occur. Rest assured, you can effortlessly fix any such modifications from the editing page for a seamless experience. i can rest assured... i have to do them all over again Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Beautiful and easy presentations" January 26, 2022 5.0 Pros It's quick to create beautiful and informative presentations with Decktopus. I've gotten overwhelming amount of positive feedback on the quality of my presentations after switching from PowerPoint to Decktopus. Decktopus forces you think: what's really important? There are limitations on number of characters you can use per title etc following best practices of oresenting. First I found this annoying - now I just love it - knowing I won't overload anyone with too much info. Cons Tables in presentations are a bit clunky, but it's somewhat of a new feature so I think it will become better with time! Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/)[Beautiful.ai](https://www.capterra.com/p/171959/Beautiful-AI/) Beautiful.ai got expensive and PowerPoint was slow, clunky and ugly.

Pros \- It's amazingly fast at creating presentations that are fully formatted and look great! - The integration of questionnaires allows for the collection of information within the presentation itself. - Very Stable - Fast Loading - Quality hot swappable templates - Excellent icon library - Frequent Updates Cons I really wish Decktopus would develop the ability to: - Export the presentations in HTML format or alternatively allow generation of a html file allowing presentations to be embedded / web linked into a Learning Management System. I.e. The platform's existing functionality would make this software great at creating online learning courses. - The ability to vertically swipe between slides up and down in presentation mode - The ability to import PowerPoint presentations is on the developer's roadmap but not yet available at time of this review. Alternatives considered [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/)[Google Slides](https://www.capterra.com/p/178686/Google-Slides/) Reason for choosing Decktopus The ability to share a fast and responsive presentation via link which works on mobile and does not require the end user to have power point installed. The ability to quickly create a presentation that looks great in a rush. Review Source Steve B.

Pros This is a quick and easy platform to create presentations for sales meetings, training, info meetings, etc. The system is easy to use and allows online collaborators so you and a team cam work on a project. Cons I would like to see more templates and graphics elements. It does look like it is growing and the development continues to work on improvements. Alternatives considered [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/)[VistaCreate](https://www.capterra.com/p/175859/Crello/) Reason for choosing Decktopus Decktopus makes it easier to focus on presentations and not be distracted or overwhelmed by graphic elements and templates not related to your project.

July 12, 2021 5.0 Very easy to get set up and going and that’s a good thing. Pros I love the many templates that they have available.

IT specialist Food & Beverages Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "A useful artificial intelligence" March 20, 2025 5.0 With decktopus, I can quickly find solutions to the problems I have in the company with artificial intelligence support.

" December 12, 2021 5.0 Lo comencé a usar por una prueba de versión trial y me encontré con un software robusto de mucha utilidad donde la forma de realizar tus presentaciones para clientes es totalmente diferente, Pros Lo que más me gusta es el aplicativo en la nube, ahora mismo en un mundo de inmediatez es necesario tener donde alojar la información y tener acceso de nuestras presentaciones en cualquier lugar, además es muy bueno tener una buena opción disponible diferente a PowerPoint, donde conseguir más plantillas. Cons Me gustaría que se pudieran insertar las presentaciones en páginas web o e-mailing. Actualmente se pueden insertar formularios y lead magnet, pero sería ideal que se pudiera insertar presentaciones completas.

CEO Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very fast alternative to classic PowerPoint" July 14, 2021 5.0 I have started using Decktopus few months ago and it's honestly the best PowerPoint alternative I've seen in the past decade. I don't know how they do it, but they always have new templates that are on point. There's a template for everything from business presentations to ad campaigns! The best thing is that with one click you can change whole design without breaking anything. Pros The products is so easy to use. Furthermore it saves so much time. Instead of playing with ppt design, you can need your materials. The design is predefined, very modern and easily changeable to other templates via only one click. Cons The design could use some modernisation. The only thing missing is upload of your existing ppt file and using Decktopus then. This function is on the roadmap. Review Source AS Ashwin S.
