Overall Satisfaction with Prezi

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to show presentations to potential advertisers on our website. It is an easy solution for collaborating on a single presentation. Also, it is very visually appealing. All of the templates and themes are kept modern to the current designs we see from great companies. This sets us apart from the typical sales pitch.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Ease of use
Attractive
Collaboration

Cons

Compatibility with certain systems (ex. DoD network)

Return on Investment

If you don't depend on great presentations for profits, then it might be a poor investment.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Office 365

Office 365 just is not as visually appealing as Prezi. Prezi is focused on presentations, and presentations only. It is what they do, and they do a fabulous job. Their designs are extremely fluent and visually appealing.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for presentations that have a solid internet connection. Unfortunately many dealerships and businesses are still in the Stone Age in terms of technology, which does not always work for Prezi. In those cases PowerPoint might win. But any other case I prefer Prezi over any presentation platform.

I use Prezi in all of my undergraduate courses. I find Prezi to be more engaging than a traditional PowerPoint and it helps organize the content of my lectures. Most presentations are linear and students today often just expect to be handed the slides. Prezi allows me to organize content spatially, in a way that appeals to many types of learners. My students also take notes - by hand! They follow along with the Prezi and remain interested throughout the class lecture and discussion. I teach marketing classes, so I use a ton of examples from YouTube, Vimeo, and other multimedia websites. Prezi has saved me so much time because I do not need to download and embed videos in PowerPoint or try to make sure they actually play -- I can just click the link and insert it, and I never have to leave the Prezi platform. My students consistently say the videos and examples I share in class are extremely valuable -- Prezi provides a platform to seamlessly and easily share multimedia content!

Prezi is pretty and pretty awesome
