Unfortunately do not keeps up with PowerPoint Legacy
Mostly to create presentantions, but also can be used to generate technical specifications and other documents that requires some kind of visual aid or branding. Microsoft Powerpoint Online addresses the need of providing complete communication on any level, from operational to top management, also allowing external communication with suppliers, general public and partners.
- Create presentations
- Create technical specifications that requires visual aids
- Create reports from assessments and studies
- Collaboration (multiple users on the same file)
- Performance (slow and sensitive to heavy media)
- UX/UI (complicated and not user friendly)
- Reduced online collaboration
- Reduced overall presentation quality
- Reduced productiveness
- Google Slides and Figma
In terms of overall performance (drive integration, media management, speed, collaboration) I think Microsoft Powerpoint Online is way behind Google Sheets or even Figma. General productiveness fell greatly after our company forced the usage of Microsoft Powerpoint Online, unfortunately I was not one stakeholder consulted for its adoption. I think it was probably chosen because of financial and legacy reasons (it was forced after a merge), but general opinion among my peers is that it was one of the worst decisions recently taken by the company.
20000
From engineering to marketing, everyone - our company uses Microsoft Powerpoint Online for everything, from presentations, reports and technical specifications. It was forced as the sole solution for visual documentation, although it was not able to replace the previous solution (Google Sheets) implying in loss of productiveness, quality and collaboration within our company.
Currently as this tool is one of the major productiveness software in computer history, it is not really necessary for people to support its usage - is part of the "basic" work package for the post 2000's professional. There are some focal points, but they are hardly known or accessed by regular employees.

Yes
Google Slides, and it was replaced due to a top-down decision that probably had nothing with productiveness and with the actual software users. I think it was definitely one of the worst corporate decisions ever taken by my company, and the main reason was a previous merging in which one the companies used Microsoft 365 as a baseline and was resistant to change.
- Other
Resistance of previous users to change. After a company merge, some stakeholders were resistant to move to Google Slides so they enforced the adoption of Microsoft Powerpoint Online (and all Office 365 products). In my opinion, there is not a single technical reason for anyone to use Microsoft Powerpoint Online instead of Google Slides, and I used both of it extensively.
I was not part of the team that decided this adoption, but I would request Microsoft to greatly improve the product performance, UX/UI and stability before even thinking about purchasing it. The "online" transition of Microsoft is one of the worst examples on how a company that focus on reusing legacy code can lead to a major product regression.
