Likelihood to Recommend [Microsoft Powerpoint] is very well suited for preaching and teaching. I find it easier to describe what I am trying to get across with a graphic. [Microsoft Powerpoint] is the most effective way to present material. I have also used it do graduation videos for our preschool. The integration of music with the graphics provides a first rate presentation.
Read full review mmhmm is, by far, the absolute best presentation platform I have found - and I have looked a lot and demoed a lot of them. The flexibility, ease of use and visually engaging experience that mmhmm provides has, without fail, been a game changer tool no matter the presentation styles. While it is, hands down, the best virtual presentation platform, I have not been able to level up my in-person experiences to the same degree as I have online. I will continue to explore how and where I can integrate the mmhmm Studio toolsets to pump up my in-person experiences.

Read full review Pros Powerpoint is excellent for structuring your ideas as you before you present them Powerpoint should be used as s skeleton for your presentation for maximum effectiveness, rather than just "reading off the slides" Powerpoint on a high DPI system with screencasting software and microphone allows you to record a high resolution product demonstration video quickly. Read full review The up front presenter in front of my slides Easily integrates static slides, animations and video without having to have vast technical skills. It's an intuitive application to use. In a few minutes you sign up, start a new presentation and you're underway. It's pretty plug-n-play. I've recommended it to my "non-technical" friends and they love it. They told me it was super easy to use and has made them more excited to create and share their presentations. Art Stiefel Adjunct Professor - Digital Media & Advertising
Read full review Cons The "remove background" feature could be a bit more user friendly - it tends to take up too much space and you're forced to start over and over again and take smaller areas to adjust which takes up quite a bit of time. I could use some more design templates with less feminine features like flowers and swirls. More industry-themed ones would be great to use. More adaptability to the "slide master" selection. It is extremely laborious to change each slide generated from the master slide. Read full review In the future I might like to see a fast-swap handoff to fellow presenters like we do in a live presentation. Getting more updates on the platform advances in emails would be helpful. Like the recent sharing of useful templates was awesome. I'd like to see more user stories shared to see how others are using the platform to make their presentations stand out. These kinds of things are helpful in feeding my ideas and insights for my next meeting, presentation and lessons. Art Stiefel Adjunct Professor - Digital Media & Advertising

Read full review Support Rating I've never contacted Microsoft support directly; I've only Googled the answers to my questions. But just the fact that there are thousands of posts on boards with people having random issues with PPT is a bit indicative of the state of the support for their product.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Adobe Illustrator is an excellent software but it's not easy to use for [everyone without] having any training or previous experience in working with illustrator. Microsoft Powerpoint is very easy to use and it's fantastic as it saves time more than illustrator. Another thing is it takes small space while illustrator takes a significant amount of space in the business machine
Read full review Of all the platforms out there - believe me, I've tried them all - or try to avoid them whenever I can - mmhmm stands on its own with its unique platform benefits, visualizations, ease of use, sharability, affordability, and overall "Wow" factor that we hope to get from our audiences. No matter what it is we are presenting. To have that ability to integrate and gravitate to our presentations has proven to be a game changer that really did not take a lot for us to do. Even better is the fact that we still may have to - for whatever reason - build a presentation in one of the slide builder apps we can still import them seamlessly into mmhmm and use the mmhmm interface as our camera when we use the other platforms. It's been a complete win, win, win all around.

Read full review Return on Investment Helped reduce time we spend modifying and sharing back and forth different versions. Saved us the frustration of having to work with an online program with limited functionalities. Macros make it easy to share data in one excel file and automatically update presentation. Read full review We've only seen positive impact since deciding to use mmhmm The ROI is a bazillion-fold. It's not an expensing platform, but the positive impact has been priceless! Even the Powerpoint burnt out team members have taken easily to using mmhmm Our presentations get comments like, "Wow... this is cool." "We really loved this presentation. It was completely engaging." "What are you guys using? This is pretty dang cool!" Art Stiefel Adjunct Professor - Digital Media & Advertising
