Overall Satisfaction with Google Slides

We use Google Slides for all kinds of presentations, from proposals to workshops and internal training sessions, but aside from traditional presentations, Google Slides has also become useful for publishing calendars, organograms, and other internal reference materials that need to be easily shared, updated, and accessed by different teams across the organization.

Pros

  • Real-time collaboration makes it easy for multiple people to work on one presentation or deck.
  • Sharing is very straight forward, so it's easy to keep control of who can do or can't do.
  • Flexible so it's uses don't stop in presentations.

Cons

  • Design and layout feels limited as opposed to others.
  • Big decks can get slow or unresponsive at times.
  • Animations are not really very customizable.
  • Saves time by allowing multiuser real-time edition.
I give it an overall rating of 9 because it's very easy to use and doesn't require onboarding, even for people new to the Google Suite. Collaboration is smooth. Sharing and permission control are easy and straightforward, and it integrates well with the rest of the Google tools we use; it's reliable and efficient.
I've used Microsoft Powerpoint, Apple Keynote, and Prezi in previous roles, and comparing them with Google Slides, I'd say the latter stands out for collaboration, ease of sharing, and real-time editing, which are really critical for teamwork. While PowerPoint and Keynote offer more advanced design and animation options, and Prezi is better suited for more dynamic presentations, Google Slides is more practical for day-to-day collaboration.

Do you think Google Slides delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Google Slides's feature set?

Yes

Did Google Slides live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Google Slides go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Google Slides again?

Yes

Google slide sis very well suited for collaborative work, internal presentations, workshops, and any scenario where multiple people need to edit, comment, and share content quickly. Not so appropriate for highly polished or heavily animated or designed presentations, or other kinds of situations where advanced animations are required, and also not great on offline performance with large decks
