PowerPoint est génial pour organiser ses présentations, des simples aux plus avancées. Super pratique, mais parfois un peu trop technique surtout côté animations.

Pros

Large choix de templates pour structurer en un temps record ses slides, insertion facile d’images, vidéos et graphiques, pages hiérarchisées, et enregistrement continu.

Cons

Pour un rendu vraiment soigné il faut y passer beaucoup de temps. Les outils de design restent limités comparés à des nouveaux outils comme Canva qui font ça mieux et plus vite.

Microsoft Powerpoint is an excellent product with a high upfront cost. I have zero complaints about the product, it simply wasn't the right choice for my business model.

Pros

Microsoft Powerpoint is an excellent option for creating presentations and so much more. Its integrated video editing and templates made it my initial choice when looking for software I could use for creating presentations for my small business. It's easy to use and rarely experiences bugs or issues so it being a top choice is a no brainer.

Cons

In the end I didn't choose to use Microsoft Powerpoint because the cost was so much higher than other comparable options. For a larger business with more overhead it might be the best option, but as a provider in solo private practice, it simply didn't make financial sense.

Nel complesso la mia esperienza con PowerPoint è positiva. Lo utilizzo per presentazioni interne e materiali per i clienti, e riesco sempre a ottenere un risultato pulito senza perdere troppo tempo. È uno strumento affidabile, adatto sia a chi deve creare slide semplici sia a chi vuole qualcosa di più elaborato.

Pros

PowerPoint è semplice da usare anche quando devo preparare una presentazione veloce. I modelli già pronti aiutano a partire subito e l’integrazione con immagini, grafici e video è fluida. Comoda anche la sincronizzazione con OneDrive, che permette di lavorare da più dispositivi senza perdere nulla.

Cons

Quando i file diventano molto pesanti può rallentare un po’. Alcune funzioni avanzate richiedono tempo per essere capite, soprattutto se non si usa spesso la suite Microsoft.

Overall, in the school setting, it is a powerful tool to organize and share information with ease. We often use it for parent meetings, and especially in our college counseling department.

Pros

I love how easy it is to create a presentation even when you aren't the most computer savvy individual.

Cons

To use PowerPoint in front of a large group, you need a projector and cable and sometimes I run into glitches when connecting or sharing my slides.

I frequently use it to make presentation slides, and I adore how simple it is to create presentation slides. I save a lot of time by downloading templates and editing them later.

Pros

Because of its freestyle editing interface, moving around photos is simple. This simplifies the process of creating presentations. I so much like the fact that it doesn't have bugs problems. I like their customer service so much !

Cons

Some features, like adding transitions between integrating video into a presentation, can be a little bit challenging to do.

PowerPoint is the granddaddy of slide deck presentation software. It's easy to make clear slides, and it's full of features like animations, transitions, and to add images.There are a lot of templates, and it's easy to customize everything

Overall I would say that Microsoft PowerPoint is amazing and I have had a great experience using it over the past few years!

Pros

I like that you can create your own power points with Microsoft PowerPoint and that it is easy to use. You can use templates that are already incorporated in it, or make your own. Great customer support and value for money, no bugs or issues and it is great for video editing and document management!

Cons

The only thing that I can say that I dislike about Microsoft PowerPoint is that sometimes I have issues with incorporating my own video or voice over into my power points, which is something that I have needed to do for an assignment for a class.

Switched from

[Google Slides](https://www.capterra.com/p/178686/Google-Slides/)

I made the switch because Microsoft PowerPoint has great template choices available to use as well as the video and voiceover options, which I think is awesome!

Pros

Microsoft PowerPoint is the essential presentation builder and has all the features needed to make a great slide deck! It is very easy to use, has lots of beautiful and customizable templates, and is easy to present with. I love being creative with it!

Cons

I wish there were more shortcuts to use with this platform like Microsoft Excel! This may be user-error or personal ignorance, but I would love to work with the platform more efficiently with shortcuts to make slides that coordinate well.

Absolutely love PowerPoint to create presentations for individual training exercises as well as creating fun teaching slides for children. This programs is user friendly all the time.

Pros

PowerPoint is an absolutely wonderful product to use. The templates are user friendly, the value is extremely affordable for the product, the video editing is simple to use but if you get stuck then their customer support is outstanding. I haven't encountered bugs or issues with the program and I haven't done spreadsheets and formulas with it either.

Cons

Placing music to different slides can be challenging but if you get stuck then you can contact customer support and they will help out anytime.

How Capterra ensures transparency

Capterra lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Capterra is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider's website.
