Microsoft Powerpoint Online vs. Pitch

Some specifications of the web version are - It can open files of up to 2 Gb in size. Earlier this was called as PowerPoint web app[which has less features than the current web version]. You can edit files such as PowerPoint Presentation [.pptx], PowerPoint show [.ppsx], .odp files. But it does not support editing for PowerPoint Template [.potx], PowerPoint 1997-2003 template .pot, .pps, .pptm,.potm [only view feature is supported]. Here the online version will convert them to latest version for editing. Also, the save feature of PowerPoint online saves changes automatically, unlike desktop version where you need to go File> Save as initially, and then click Save after every change. Also password protected or digital signature based documents cannot be edited in web version.

If we need to create a presentation that we know may take time, Pitch makes it very easy to create it in a fraction of the time because there are many presentation categories with dummy data and pictures which help as a guide and cut presentation development drastically. The end result is usually same or better than hiring a professional.

• Running a presentation from PowerPoint online has been a disappointing experience. Things just don't react as smoothly as they do in the offline version because we're relying on sometimes iffy internet connections.
• Video does not play well when it's embedded and played through the online version.
• Downloading a PPT file that was created online creates almost no inconsistencies, but in my experience uploading a PPT to the online version that was created offline sometimes does create issues with fonts and formatting.

• Same type of features across all platforms.
• More templates can be added with more options of modification.
• Addition or more shapes to gallery.

I would rather change to other tool if I could. Microsoft Powerpoint Online was top-down forced without a real technical (maybe financial only) reason, and I think the product itself looks like a poor adaptation of the offline version. In my experience, it cannot be properly used in real time collaboration, can't handle large media (images/videos), has low performance even for a single user, it is a nightmare.

It works mostly well, but I usually run into a formatting glitch while using Microsoft PPT Online.

Powerpoint's ease of use makes it stand out. You can build custom presentations easily, and even those without extensive skills can do this. It makes it a good tool for a whole organization, rather than each team having its own tool. This means you can have templates for the whole organization to use for better branding and consistency

Pitch is a powerful version of Power Point, with enough features to create very professional and fast presentations. Canva is good but the results are limited, you need to get/buy something almost ready but with Pitch you can do it as fast but better looking and with more flexibility

• It has made it easier for the training to be well handled and transitioned to the work-at-home life faster.
• a lot of people is used to the installed version of PowerPoint, the online version is a familiar look and feels to the times when we were working from the office, which made the transition faster and easier for everyone.
