Google Slides - Quick and Intuitive for Simple Presentations Easy Collaboration

Google Slides is very easy and intuitive for creating simple, straightforward presentations. Its limitations make for less decision making. Being part of the Google Suite makes for easy sharing and collaboration, auto-saving, and time-stamped versions/edit history. However, unlike a platform like Canva, there's no icon library, photos, graphics, or elements built-in, so if you're wanting more creative designs, you have to import or create yourself.

I'd recommend Google Slides for someone who uses the Google Suite, as Google Sheets integration is nice. It's intuitive and can be easy and quick to throw together a Slides presentation when needed. Google Slides is nice for simple presentations, with enough functionality to become client-ready and professional enough for external use. However, it tends to produce simpler presentations, with limited built-in templates that are easily identifiable, so they don't have a very creative, sophisticated 'wow factor'. The same goes for the transitions, as they're easily identifiable and simple.
