It is well-suited for simple presentations, from an animation and visual standpoint, although this is improving with the new AI features. However, if you want more visually appealing, modern-looking presentations, it is not well-suited. Nonetheless, from my work experience so far, it fits my use cases perfectly, namely, presentations to share research findings.

Cons

Google
  • Other programs are better at creating fancy or professional presentations quickly.
  • Off-line usage usually defaults to a PowerPoint, which makes the program feel like an off-brand PowerPoint.
  • The program makes it too tempting to rely on a strong internet connection for all presentations.

The popularity for Google Slides among the casual technology tool users is so great that we are not in a position to replace this tool with anything else. Every other tool either doesn't have the popularity, or doesn't match the ease of sharing level of Slides. The training needed to learn a different tool is too great. Google Slides is very easy to pick up and master.

Google
Google Slides is very easy and intuitive for creating simple, straightforward presentations. Its limitations make for less decision making. Being part of the Google Suite makes for easy sharing and collaboration, auto-saving, and time-stamped versions/edit history. However, unlike a platform like Canva, there's no icon library, photos, graphics, or elements built-in, so if you're wanting more creative designs, you have to import or create yourself.
