Considered Both Products	Google Slides Verified User Analyst Chose Google Slides Canva is my choice for creating creative, unique, professional presentations, as they have a built-in library with icons, elements, charts, and graphics. It's easier to create beautiful charts and graphs on Canvas, but more advanced data may be better set up in Google Sheets … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Google Slides I've used Microsoft Powerpoint, Apple Keynote, and Prezi in previous roles, and comparing them with Google Slides, I'd say the latter stands out for collaboration, ease of sharing, and real-time editing, which are really critical for teamwork. While PowerPoint and Keynote offer … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Google Slides Slides works very similarly to Microsoft Powerpoint, though I would say it feels seamless to integrate with other Google products. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User General Manager Chose Google Slides Google Slides has a much simpler format and is much easier to access and share than the others. For the others to be useful, you have to pay for them, and they’re still not as user-friendly. The only one that is similar is Canva. Where a may lead is with the templates it … Incentivized Helpful? Allie Cobb Digital Director Chose Google Slides Google Slides has features similar to Canva's presentation tools, but Canva offers more design features (elements, stock photography, stock video, stock audio, fonts, etc.). Google Slides is part of Google Drive, so being able to switch between Slides, Docs, Sheets, etc. is a … Incentivized Helpful? SC Steve Crawford Associate Pastor Chose Google Slides Google Slides is far more accessible than either Keynote or Powerpoint. It may not be as aesthetically pleasing as some of Keynote's templates (and transitions), and it may not be as well known as Powerpoint is to a generation of Microsoft users, but I have found that these … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Google Slides PowerPoint has the most features but doesn’t sync as well as Google Slides. Keynote is not compatible for many people. Google Slides is by far the best option for collaboration and ease of use. Incentivized Helpful? PH Peter Hemingway Teacher Chose Google Slides Google Slides is easier to learn and share than PowerPoint. While Miro is better for a working collaboration, Slides is a better presentation tool. Lumio and Nearpod are great for leading presentations where each person has a device, Slides is more compatible for presenter … Incentivized Helpful? Anastasia Globa Lecturer in Computational Design and Advanced Manufacturing (Architecture) Chose Google Slides Google Slides works both online and offline, they are free to use if you have a Google account. Easy to share and are supported by most web browsers. A great addition to your arsenal of interactive educational online platforms. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Strategist Chose Google Slides It has probably around 90% of the common features that are present in PowerPoint but is more appropriate for today's workflows of being online. Conveniently included with GSuite packages often makes it more of a default option over PowerPoint in modern times. I have not listed … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Partner Chose Google Slides Skids is so much easier to use than PowerPoint and the design is much, much simpler. You can be more creative with Slides because it is flexible enough to use unlike PowerPoint. The downside is there is a learning curve because it isn’t the same old crappy software everyone … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Strategist Chose Google Slides On a standalone basis, where no collaboration is needed, Microsoft Powerpoint is a superior tool because the functionalities are easier to use and much more robust. But if collaboration is needed, Google Slides is optimal for business, sales and strategy collaboration. It is … Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	Google 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. Incentivized AF André Fernandes Senior UX Researcher Read full review
Pros	Google 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Incentivized PH Peter Hemingway Teacher Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Google 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. Incentivized PH Peter Hemingway Teacher Read full review
Usability	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.
