Likelihood to Recommend 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.

But be prepared, Prezi is not as intuitive as a standard presentation tool, and it may take some time to get used to.
Read full review Pros Since I work in technical support, we use this tool everyday at the end of the shift to make the reports. This is one of the best tool and very simple to use. Since we received so many different severity tickets in my shift and we have to report it to the management and so this tool help a lot and show things clearly. This tool have so many templates and themes available which makes it very suitable as per the requirement. I love this tool and amazing to work on it. So many things to explore. Read full review It is great for creating more compelling and attractive presentations. A wide variety of features and possibilities. Dozens of fantastic templates that may be easily adopted. It helps a lot in terms of productivity, specially for beginners. It provides many resources and options to create presentations with sophisticated visual and animations. It is simple and easy to use - no need of programming knowledge to create animations, import assets, edit and export the presentations. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Linux support is non-existent. With Android/Chrome OS being based on the linux kernel but also with lots of tech-savvy and influencers using non-Windows and non iOS platforms, I feel a pariah. As far as I know for Android phones and tablets you can only present but not edit prezis in its native app. Again an Android users, it is a sub-par experience the app in general is lacking functionality. Using the browser version (because I have no other alternative) uploading multiple images is very buggy Having a version history would be great when you are editing a large presentation over several days Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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.
Read full review Usability Learning to use Prezi and create new presentations is very simple and easy to do. It does not require new skills or a long training process, since in general the use is quite intuitive (and if you have any questions there are many videos on how to use it). Its operation in both the browser version and the app is very good and fluid, managing to perform all the tasks you want properly.
Read full review Support Rating It is a modern and easy-to-use tool (after a while) that allows you to make dynamic and trained presentations without the need to be an expert user. It has allowed me to improve the attention and motivational processes of my students. In addition, it has many [community users] who make videos and teach the many uses that you can use Prezi. And because, despite the restrictions of the free version, everyone can access and make use of Prezi and thus improve their boring ppt and inject some vitality into them.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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
Read full review Other solutions for presentations all fall on the typical slideshow paradigm. So far, only Prezi walked away from this path. Its expanding canvas and freeform path are refreshing in this scenario. In this sense, Prezi is unique in its style of presentation, which makes difficult to establish comparisons based on costs. The still ongoing migration to Prezi Next has been a bit troubled, according to some old users, but it seems the company is working to give Prezi Next the same flexibility that Prezi Classic. And Prezi already has a huge user base that do not want to go back working with the limits of slides.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Prezi provided us with a unique selling factor when it came to pitching our services to new prospects. While creating a presentation from scratch might be time-consuming, Prezi allows you to easily reuse and utilize old designs to create new presentations with a different vibe and content. An easy way to impress upper management and stakeholders, especially when presenting to the management of our clients. Read full review ScreenShots
