Microsoft Powerpoint vs. UXPressia

[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.

I only use UXPressia for my journey maps, personas, and empathy maps. I have been using this tool for years and I see no reason to go elsewhere.

• 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.

• The finished product is visually pleasing
• It is simple to export and combine journey maps, personas, and empathy maps into PDFs
• There is a large number of stock photos to choose from when creating personas

• 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.

• The only issue I sometimes face is that they are in a different time zone, so personalized replies sometimes take longer; however, they do have very helpful articles that usually answer my questions without having to direct me to someone

Very intuitive interface especially if you are familiar with tools like Word and Excel.

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.

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
