Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Powerpoint Online

PowerPoint has been the go-to software for presentations for a long time. Now, with the online tool, we're able to share documents and modify documents in a blink of an eye. As a trainer myself, I use Powerpoint for approximately half the class (the other part is more practice with other tools). It's used by the entire Training team across the organization.
  • Sharing documents is easy and simple.
  • Modifying anything on the go is way faster, even when you're not at home.
  • If you're used to the software that it's installed on every Windows computer, you'll love it, as it's basically the same layout.
  • the integration with Onedrive and other tools like Excel, Outlook, Teams, Word, etc. is very useful to move around quickly.
  • Handling large documents might not be as efficient, not sure if this is based on the current load of the computer I'm working with, but sometimes we have to take a moment (around 20 seconds) to load the entire file.
  • Sharing documents is easy and it allows for a quick access wherever you are.
  • Manipulation of images, slides, animation and all the other parts of a presentation.
  • Availability, it has never failed when we need it to be available for a presentation.
  • It has made it easier for the training to be well handled and transitioned to the work-at-home life faster.
  • a lot of people is used to the installed version of PowerPoint, the online version is a familiar look and feels to the times when we were working from the office, which made the transition faster and easier for everyone.
  • Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)
The most similar online presentation I've found is google slides. PowerPoint online keeps more characteristics of the document (animations, text typography, etc.) when uploading from a desktop.

Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)
Well suited for documents that came from a regular Windows PC (formatting is amazingly easy), completing and sharing presentations with peers, and making quick adjustments on the go before presenting (adding notes, animations, slides, etc). Not too suitable for long documents unless you're willing to wait a few seconds.
