Likelihood to Recommend
Very effective way to present to learners of all backgrounds as well as presentations for department, section and committees. Can engage the audience more and convey the material more thoroughly and in a visually appealing manner that is appreciated. It is a little more time consuming to create, so need to plan for preparation better.
Prezi is an excellent program because it instigates interaction, is accessible, intuitive, and allows dynamic and fast access. Its varied windows, adjusted with a few movements, spread creativity and motivation in our explanations, facilitating the understanding of the message in question. I use it for my study orientations and more dynamic explanations of the content to be studied with my students.
Pros
Prezi is an excellent, accessible, intuitive, dynamic interaction program.
Prezi video is a wonderful tool because you can use content, drawings, music, and various other ideas while you speak.
It can be connected through LinkedIn or Facebook; I choose Facebook because it brings me the version already in Portuguese
Cons
The disadvantage of Prezi compared to PowerPoint is that it can only be downloaded on a notebook with 4 gigabytes of RAM; this is a technical problem that sometimes leads to other presentation choices.
The ghost effect with improper use of zoom, blurred images; double attention is needed with this layering effect.

<div>I love Prezi because it works for remote presentations with great resolution on multiple devices, connected or not, because it has a desktop application that solves this problem of no connection.</div><div>Prezi's details can be expanded to incorporate visual storytelling that allows for amazing interaction with the audience. </div><div>Prezi makes it easy to create presentations with many features, turning any project into a much more compelling working message. </div><div>Prezi presentations highlight background images, allowing the movement of each scene to be appreciated smoothly. Audience interest in Prezi's features is clearly observed. Pausing, zooming in, zooming out, and moving your frames quickly and comfortably as they adjust the flow of each presentation enchants and holds attention.</div><div>
Currently, Prezi is used in almost 80% of our company, because it was implemented as the main platform for the design and development of slides, presentations, or projects that help the presentation and display of information in person and virtually. I currently work in the Sales area of an automotive company and I am pleased to say that this platform has stood out because every day it allows us to create all kinds of slides that help us achieve a greater scope in the expansion of information to all our potential customers. Prezi has a fairly simple work structure to handle, it allows us to make slides much faster than any other platform, it works online, and it also allows perfect team collaboration, with which the slides can be completed. The slide system that Prezi offers works in real-time, allowing the information captured on all the slides to be visible to the entire team working together.
Pros
It offers a large number of pre-designed templates that allow the slides to come to life, can be converted into a presentation with a unique design and allows the user who is making the slide to organize the information. Each of the templates that Prezi offers have bright and formal colors for all kinds of topics in general.
The autosave system that Prezi offers is quite advanced since it is capable of saving all the information that is inserted in the slide that is being made automatically. Prezi performs the process automatically every 15 seconds, allowing users to keep their data completely safe against any loss of information.
Prezi offers a great variety of shapes, drawings that are available so that the user can insert them into the presentation without any restrictions. I love these shapes and drawings that it allows me to insert, I feel that it gives more life to my slide and makes it much more creative when it is finished. Prezi offers me drawings of all kinds, from drawings of people to drawings of vehicles, trees, children, houses, and many more.
Cons
One of the things that I don't like about Prezi is the "Prezi Next" system. This system was implemented in Prezi Classic because it would offer better compatibility with respect to the Adobe system, however, this was a system I did not like. It was designed for those companies that are based on making slides only for concept maps or similar. Prezi Classic is a more open platform and offers better resources, offers better templates, and greater innovation when it comes to making slides of all kinds.
My second criticism goes directly to the system or desktop application that Prezi offers because it is quite a slow application and it consumes a lot of space on the computer. Currently, this application takes a long time to load the data of each slide when successfully logged in, which makes our work very difficult and causes us to lose more time when viewing or modifying any slide.
Likelihood to Recommend
Despite the malfunction of the desktop application of this platform, I consider that its online system is appropriate for all those companies that want to increase their innovation and design in each slide they make. Prezi is a perfect platform to add more diversity with a design more adapted to today. Its web platform works wonderfully and allows users to have a perfect collaboration in teams that can help the rapid completion of each slide. If anyone would be interested in using Prezi, I recommend using the web version, as the desktop platform is a bit slow when it comes to displaying the slides.
I think that right now there are a few of us who use Prezi, since staff usually continues to use PPT in almost all levels. I use Prezi every time I have to, to make presentations both in front of co-workers as well as with parents and children with whom I work. I prefer to use Prezi since I find it more entertaining, dynamic, and because for me it allows greater modifications in its use than PowerPoint. Also, I work with SEN children who require greater stimulation to be able to refocus their attention, and I can achieve that with Prezi by adding movements, zooming to the objectives, jumping between one image and another, and other features that it has.
Pros
It can be adapted to different scenarios since it allows formal presentations. It makes more dynamic presentations and can even be used to gamify learning.
It is highly modifiable since it allows you to adapt the default templates, create your own templates. You can even convert your ppt to Prezi format to later make them more entertaining.
It is easy to use, at least in the most basic way, since if you want to do something basic you don't require any special skills to be able to do it without problems.
Cons
An option that automatically assigns the font size to make sure it's not too small.
A predetermined minimum size of the objects, since sometimes you can accidentally make it so small that later it cannot be used or seen correctly.
To the free versions, offline use of Prezi and export to PDF would be great. Many times they ask for presentations and they cannot be shared digitally (not everyone has an account) or in physical format (paper).
Likelihood to Recommend
<div>Prezi is an excellent alternative that works very well when you have a work meeting and you must make a serious and more professional presentation, as well as when you work with children you need to do something more dynamic and entertaining. I even use it to perform some gamification that allows me to check the progress of our patients with SEN. </div><div>I don't think there is any scenario in which Prezi does not work well, as it adapts quite well to different requirements.</div>
I got to know Prezi about three years ago, thanks to some classes I took at a foundation that trains teachers in new pedagogical strategies. I was used to (as was almost everyone until a few years ago) Powerpoint presentations, but when I saw Prezi I was pleasantly surprised. From that moment on, I started using Prezi in all my courses and even did a "training" on it to my colleagues. It has helped me a lot (along with other tools) to achieve a greater interest in students and to be able to keep their attention on activities for longer times.
Pros
Transforms boring ppt style presentations into more dynamic and entertaining presentations by adding movements between objects, by being able to zoom, or rotate the screen. It is especially useful to me when we are studying the solar system.
Another very good thing is that you can convert your ppt to Prezi format with just a few clicks, giving life to the presentations.
Prezi also gives you the possibility of using a free account (with certain restrictions) which is very good, especially if you are a student since it allows you to have the experience of creating a fun presentation easily and without spending your money.
Allows you to save and share your presentations quite easily and quickly.
Cons
I think it would be a good idea to let the free versions also download your Prezi presentations, perhaps adding a watermark or something similar.
In the beginning, getting used to the margins and sizes of the elements is a bit complicated, so perhaps it would be convenient to add a kind of help or tool that could self-correct the sizes and locations in case there is a possible problem with these (especially with the sizes if you make them too small).
Likelihood to Recommend
<div>In my case, Prezi is suitable whenever I need to present a material/task/activity, or when I require my students to make a presentation about the content we have been working on. In addition, it also serves me at meetings held with the community to present the work we do, the goals that we propose as a school, and the way we want to work to achieve our goals.</div><div>I can't think of a scenario in which it is less suitable, since you can make more "formal" presentations and others more "entertaining." It seems to me that for older teachers, it is more difficult to use Prezi. They seem to find it difficult to create their own templates.</div>
Prezi is primarily used on a department by department basis within my company. We utilize Prezi in order to create customer-facing presentations relating to workflows and sales pitches. Our organization is a large manufacturing firm, therefore, not all business areas utilize Prezi in the same way. I would say the platform is primarily utilized by admin areas including: Customer Experience, Marketing, and Sales Enablement.
Pros
Pre-built templates are engaging and attractive.
Animations are smooth.
The interface is clean and professional.
Cons
Templates are effective but creating new slides can be more difficult than other platforms.
Online hosting can sometimes cause the platform to move slower than alternatives.
The primary site can sometimes be a bit difficult to navigate.
Likelihood to Recommend
Prezi works well for contributors who are looking to create presentations that separate themselves from traditional PowerPoint. The presentations are sharp and distinguish themselves from alternatives in their design and navigation. Prezi works well for more externally-facing professional teams dedicated to creating presentations compared to department meetings and internal updates. The added benefits of the platform often take a bit more training and are best suited for a more dedicated workforce.
The use of Prezi is not regulated by the institution, however, there are several people who used Prezi constantly when making different presentations. I even used it a couple of times when taking some classes at engineering school.
The choice of Prezi is because its format is much more pleasant to me than the typical PowerPoint, and being more dynamic also makes presentations less boring, especially when you are showing data and percentages.
Pros
Unlike PowerPoint, Prezi is very dynamic. You can move around the entire presentation, jumping from one place to another, entering images, moving the background, making turns, etc. And if you add some music and colors to that, you have almost a 3d presentation.
It has the advantage of having a free version and a paid version, so if you don't know Prezi, and you want to know what it is about, you can use the paid version and see if this way of making presentations suits you and is interesting, without having than to spend a single peso.
Likewise, the idea of having the free version is very good for students, since not everyone has the possibility to buy, and a free version is better than a pirated version of a similar program.
Although it seems very complicated at the beginning, when you start using it it becomes quite easy, and you realize that its use in general and its environment are very pleasant. Everything is well indicated, so you know what function each thing fulfills.
Cons
I think a good improvement would be the possibility that the free version (I use paid), could also work offline, so it would be more accessible to everyone.
Greater variation of templates, or thematic templates could be an excellent idea and with that it would save a lot of work time.
The PPT to Prezi function, it doesn't really convince me, it never suits me very well.
Likelihood to Recommend
<div>Prezi is quite appropriate if you are in a dynamic and perhaps not as formal environment. Also if you want to get more out of your presentations, and make them less boring, Prezi is definitely the solution. It is also quite useful when you have to do some classes, since the PowerPoint tend to be linear, boring and with sad colors, however with Prezi you can give a new look to very boring content.</div><div>It seems to me that the least appropriate scenario for Prezi is when you have little time to make a presentation, since although its use is relatively easy and comfortable, you should dedicate a little more time so that everything is within the margins and that the movements within space are not so erratic and disorienting.</div>
Prezi has been the strength of the company and personally as well since we have been able to transmit the information in a concrete and effective way without any mishap. Most of the company uses this product in conferences, personal meetings, and when they want to explain a project intuitively. Prezi captures the attention of viewers in a unique way, making it beneficial when you have a goal in front of you: to get the information correctly.
Pros
Not only can it be used as an alternative to boring and traditional slides, but it can also be used as final software since it is very complete.
Its interface is really very easy to navigate, making this one more point to stay with Prezi.
It contains very good and several templates in case you don't have much time to create a presentation from scratch.
Cons
There is a small learning curve in which you must learn more than all the keyboard shortcuts to be able to modify the objects (or for me, it was like that).
The performance of the platform is extremely bad, since I know Prezi has had that problem.
Sometimes I have problems opening the downloaded presentation. I do not understand what happens since it does not show any kind of error, it only closes immediately after opening it. I have had this problem on certain PCs.
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend it as it is a quintessential presentation tool that contains many useful functions that help the user to easily create the ideas they want to express. It takes a bit to adapt at first but with practice, you can understand how simple its interface is.
We have used Prezi in our classrooms as an option for our students to present materials that they have learned over the course of a learning unit. Teachers have also used Prezi as presentation tool to deliver content to our students in both whole group and small group settings. It provides a way to change up our method of delivering content.
Pros
It provides creative ways of denoting information.
Colorful and bright.
Rapid movements inside the presentation.
Cons
Rapid movements within presentations can cause motion sickness for certain students.
You are unable to turn off certain movement features within the presentation.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is a great tool to allow students to present their understanding of a topic to their peers or to teach their peers about topics. It allows them to be the expert and help others around them. It also can allow students to organize the information they are collecting on a topic or researching for a project.
