Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Lots of presentations are made for customer meetings, internal company meetings, or even smaller departmental meetings. While PowerPoint has always been the gold standard and is still commonly used throughout our organization, Prezi presents (ha) a modern alternative that works great and has many advantages. The main advantage I see stems from being able to work on the presentation online from a web browser. This allows collaborative editing amongst teammates on the go or remotely and works more seamlessly than making edits, sending the file, reviewing edits, etc. Ultimately, Prezi is a convenient tool to make attention-grabbing and interesting presentations that everyone should try.

Pros and Cons

Online Interface
Easy Collaboration
Eye-Catching Designs and Transitions

Web Interface is a bit more complicated at first than Powerpoint
Some people won't want to switch from what they're used to
I believe requires internet connection to use unless there's a downloadable client

Return on Investment

More convenient but hard to quantify it being better; hours I saved might be extra hours for some

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Powerpoint

Powerpoint is tried and true and also a great program, don't get me wrong.

I think Prezi is better when used online to collaborate with others but once you get the hang of both, it comes down to matter of personal preference of style and design, in my opinion.

Support Rating

Lots of information available, luckily I haven't had any issues that required contacting support in any way so I can't really speak to this one.

Likelihood to Recommend

Prezi can replace other presentation software if you prefer the look and feel of its designs and transitions, but the overall best area where Prezi shines is online collaboration of multiple people on the same presentation. Easier than making edits and sending back and forth between colleagues without a doubt.

Great Presentation Tool especially for Remote Collaboration
