    Frame.io is best suited if you are on, say, a marketing team and want to get feedback from other team members or leaders on a project you have been working on. Frame.io is less suited to serving as your team's primary storage for raw footage and photos.

    Well-suited to working on presentations or PowerPoint-style documents, including setting up templated slides and working collaboratively on presentations. It's less well-suited to setting up printable documents, though I have used it for simple printable documents, you just need to remember to set the slide size to A4 (or your preferred paper size) measurements.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • Allows clients to make frame-specific notes, so there is no confusion what they are talking about.
    • When multiple stakeholders are making notes, platform automatically sorts them chronologically in the video.
    • Multiple stakeholders giving notes can see when their note conflicts with a colleague's.

    • Real-time collaboration makes it easy for multiple people to work on one presentation or deck.
    • Sharing is very straight forward, so it's easy to keep control of who can do or can't do.
    • Flexible so it's uses don't stop in presentations.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • When I mark a video private, it should disable the sharing link. We’ve run into issues where we’ve made a video private, thinking that it was no longer visible, but those with the link could still view it.
    • Mobile version is great, but sometimes I have to rotate my phone to get the full feature set, which is a little clunky sometimes.

    • The slides generated by the "Beautify this slide" feature are not editable. You need to prompt again to make the changes you want.
    • You don't have a way to switch to another company template. For example, if you want to switch from light to dark theme, you can't.
    • The layout of the Animations sequence is not easy to read.

    It works well for our small team, but we’ve run into some friction as things scale. Getting external users set up with the right access can be a bit of a hassle, and the cost starts to add up as we bring on more people and projects. That said, it’s still a solid tool, it definitely speeds up our workflow and works seamlessly with Adobe products.

    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.

    Frame.io continues to lead with new features that enhance collaboration and review workflows. For a Creative agency, it's been a wonderful digital asset management and client collaboration tool, and more. The ease of uploading and adding stakeholders has had an incredible impact on customer response times, helping us retain and delight our clients.

    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.

    The few times I have needed support I have received a quick response - though the one major complaint I have had is regarding the omission of an iPad app - supposedly it is in the works but I haven't seen it release yet. We do have issues with the browser being buggy - especially on slow internet. Whether or not that is something support has failed me on, i'm not sure - but they are responsive, but don't always provide immediate results.

    We utilize both Synthesia and Frame.io for different projects. Frame.io we use for editing actual video content that has been captured. Primary use is for customer training and education. We use Synthesia for short-form video production, primarily for software screen recording demonstrations, and for translation functionality (which is excellent).
