Depends on the needs of the user, if they are just refreshing Slides, and updating basic elements, I believe Microsoft Powerpoint Online is sufficient. It still relies on a regular internet connection, but backs up immediately to whichever service you are using for cloud storage. For advance users, designers, or people trying to have more management in their decks I believe desktop is the way to go.

Ditto is very well suited for me as a QA Engineer, as every day I am in need of clipboard data, and Ditto helps me keep my clipboard at my fingertips.
I enjoy the fact that I can set a dark mode for the application, and also lots of other app customisations.

Cons
Microsoft
  • 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.

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.

Usability

Its about as usable as regular powerpoint to the normal user. The lack of some tools is fine and will go unnoticed. When presenting, you'll see animations may lag behind a bit, so I still recommend downloading to desktop to share content in a presentation once it is finalized.

I have used Prezi also in my last company along with Microsoft Powerpoint Online. But I feel that Prezi has also good features like designs, frames, themes etc but this tool is really complex to use as compared to Microsoft Powerpoint Online

  • 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.
