One of the best and simplest Tool for Presentations
Keynote is mainly used for all sorts of presentations in our company now, We used to opt for Powerpoint, but now the Keynote is one of the most commonly used tools in the whole company, the reason was the integration with Mac, It comes built-in and has compelling features, It might not be as powerful as PowerPoint. Still, it touches all the basic points much more efficiently and effectively. Highly satisfied with Apple Keynote.

Elegant and intuitive presentation tool
Apple Keynote is my preferred presentation software application. I use it to create all types of presentations for my company: business pitches, reports, workshop presentations, etc. It's great for creating quick template-based presentations, as well as for complex and sophisticated ones that require animations and embedded files. I love Keynote because it's more intuitive than PowerPoint.
- business presentations
- automated slideshows
- templates
- export your presentation to HTML
- not compatible with Windows OS
- large file size

A great accessible tool to work with.
I use it to create presentations and present them in my meetings; it is so easy to use and easy to manipulate, I use it on my Ipad, and with the help of the pencil, I can make changes in real-time, and I also work on video conferences, I am a user for several years now. Also so easy to add images and dashboards into it; I think this is a great tool. I always recommend it.
- Presentations on a conference room.
- Video conference presentations.
- One on one presentations.
- More templates to use.
- More types of letter we can use.
- Have more images or pictures to choose from.
Apple Keynote is Apple's Presentation Creation Software. Apple Keynote helps in creating presentations for various purposes such as quarterly presentations, group discussions, new ideas, and so on. Apple Keynote is inbuilt into Apple Devices like the Mac or iPhone and does not require any subscription, so it can be a considerable alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint.
- Variety of themes - Apple Keynote offers a large variety of themes for various kinds of presentations.
- Export functionality - Since Apple Keynote uses a different extension it can not be directly in other apps like Powerpoint or Google Slides, so it offers functionality to export it as PPT or PDF.
- Inbuilt on Apple Devices - Does not require any subscription, you can simply start using it.
- Common Accessible Format that can be opened on Keynote as well as on platforms like PowerPoint, Google Slides, etc.
- More insert options.

Apple KeyNote: Just because it comes stock with Apple computer doesn't mean it's not your best slide deck option.
Apple Keynote is one option in my arsenal of slide deck software. Keynote is comparable to Google Slides and PowerPoint but offers its own sets of advantages and, depending on the client, KeyNote sometimes works best for their slide needs. By utilizing a program like KeyNote, I am able to create presentations for clients that they can self-edit moving forward. Another advantage is that Keynote comes in stock with all Macs, removing overhead costs.
- User friendliness
- Templates
- Master Slide creation and adjustments
- Copy / Paste from other programs
- Text box font resizing

Apple Keynote for Modern and Smooth Presentations
I use Apple Keynote to create slide presentations. I also use it to create pre-event openers for signature events at our organization. These often include a mix of facts about our organization, photo highlights, and housekeeping information for the event.
- Animations and Builds
- Slide Transitions
- Animated Backgrounds
- Modern themes and templates
- The way you adjust timings for builds and transitions was a bit counterintuitive for me. Once I got the hang of it, it was fine. The timings don't work the same as they do in PowerPoint. So if you are a PowerPoint user, that may be something you have to adjust to when you switch to Keynote.
- I feel that adding images can be clunky when working with image placeholders. Apple Keynote forces you to use the Photo app to replace image placeholders.
I use Apple Keynote for the preparation of any sort of presentation (pitch decks, management meetings, investor updates). We are also utilizing this tool to prepare short 1-pager leaflet information on our products and services. The tool seems to be way easier to use than its MS equivalent. Also, elements in the slides do not get "messed up" when you move elements on the slides - as happens in the competition's tools.
- Preparation of pitch deck.
- Preparation of 1-pager product leaflets.
- Turning slides into shareable pdf.
- Easier operating on iPad devices.
- Collaboration option right from the desktop app.
- Better features for optimizing pdf size.
As a design firm, we use Keynote to deliver our client deliverable and make internal-facing decks where we present research findings, consumers insights, and present client-facing visual design concepts and prototypes (we use Figma to run through the back end of prototypes). The scope of my particular use case is in slide design and analysis since I'm a strategist.
- Inserting images/videos
- Aligning text boxes symmetrically
- Changing presentation themes (I love black on white)
- Collaboration (really hard to share link with people)
- Shortcuts (there are so few compared to Google Slides)
- Limited font selections

Best presentation software out there!
Apple Keynote is by far the best presentation builder software. It has so many features and possibilities, very complete and it is easy to use. We used it across many departments. Being an education company, it is essential for building material for classes. However, we also use it to build business proposals and prepare internal presentations for meetings or just PDFs/information that needs to be passed along. Our design team loves it, as you can build the most beautiful presentations on it. Our educators love it too, as it is the best app for sharing material during class, specially with the presenter display that they can customize to their liking.
- Resources to build beautiful presentations
- Complete software with many possibilities to customize your presentation
- Customizable presenter display
- Possibility to record presentation
- Reliable application
- Versatile
- Crop videos
- Easier share of file with other users
- File size reduction

Keynote Beats PowerPoint Hands Down!
I'm a solopreneur and have used Keynote to create presentations that form the basis of YouTube videos. I used PowerPoint for many years, but prefer Keynote for its simplicity and elegance. The menu is laid out better than PowerPoint - more intuitive, which makes it much easier to find what you want. The only real criticism I have - and this is true of software in general; not just Apple - is that the so-called Help menu is nothing of the kind. Developers need to make this much more user-friendly. As things stand, you're more likely to find the help you need on YouTube.
- Easily navigable
- Clean design
- Uncluttered display
- For me, Help is always hard to use.
- The space for presenter's notes needs to be expandable.
- It could work better with QuickTime.
