"How have you done presentations without PowerPoint for this long?"
What do you like best about Microsoft PowerPoint?

The best feature in PowerPoint is your ability to create custom colors and 'paint' them onto graphs, tables, charts or icons throughout your presentation. This is a super helpful key feature. Additionally, this is a seamless software for creating templates for presentations and saving them for future users.

What do you dislike about Microsoft PowerPoint?

PowerPoint is limited in its ability to develop intuitive, helpful icons that better explain the information on the page. The charts and graphs function is slightly limited in the types of charts you can use and how information is translated.

What problems is Microsoft PowerPoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

My biggest problem that it solves is creating templates that are consistent and easy to use for several users across the organization. Consistency is key and maintaining branding through presentations is equally important. PPT allows for seamless consistency.

"The Iconic Presentation App."
What do you like best about Microsoft PowerPoint?

Powerpoint is a great presentation application for a wide range of use cases. It's easy to use and rich in features that help me design professional slides with comprehensive visual elements. I like the artificial intelligence capabilities in the Design idea pane. It recommends themes and colors based on the slide's content.

What do you dislike about Microsoft PowerPoint?

There is almost nothing that I dislike about Microsoft PowerPoint. It works well with my use cases over the years. But it would be great if it runs faster on the cloud.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft PowerPoint:

It would be great to follow Microsoft for education PowerPoint support forum as they keep you informed with the latest updates, tips and tricks, and engaging short video tutorials.

What problems is Microsoft PowerPoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an Instructional Designer, PowerPoint makes it easy for me to design storyboards, professional presentations, and educational materials that I can access on the cloud from anywhere. Also, I use it to help my students get familiar with creating mind maps and then exporting them as pic/pdf files with no need for any other applications.

"Using Snagit 2023 with PowerPoint"
What do you like best about Microsoft PowerPoint?

Flexibility and the ability to export to PDF for user documentation

What do you dislike about Microsoft PowerPoint?

Can be slow to load and export to PDF. The autosave also slows it down but is useful.

What problems is Microsoft PowerPoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use PowerPoint with Snagit 2023 to create training documents and to record work done in our ticketing system. The ability to export to PDF but also maintain the PowerPoint file for future edits/updates makes it ideal for training.

"Give life to your presentations with PowerPoint"
What do you like best about Microsoft PowerPoint?

Since it has been there for long, creating presentations is extremely simple. You can add sounds, narrations, Words files, Excel sheets and animation to your slides with PowerPoint. It can be easily integrated to Office 365. It can be opened on any devices. You can easily customize template and you also choose from suggestions that it provides as you go along. The presenter gets to see next slides and can prepare himself for the transition. Presenter can refer to notes which will not be seen by the audience. Also, the entire presentation can be printed and given as a hang-out to participants.

What do you dislike about Microsoft PowerPoint?

Presentation gets a little heavy when you have voice narration on it and viewers have the option of not turning on the narration. The auto-play feature is not there if you are sharing the presentation with somebody. Also, we can make video presentations on PowerPoint. Rest is fine with PowerPoint.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft PowerPoint:

I would recommend users to spend time on PPT to explore all of the features on it. You can do a lot more than you think you can on PowerPoint.

What problems is Microsoft PowerPoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main benefit is that everybody is familiar with PowerPoint and it's really simple to create a presentation on PowerPoint if you have the content. All you have to do is put your content on it and you are all set. It will automatically keep on giving you layout suggestions which is really great. I personally feel that there is still a lot more features on PowerPoint that most of us still don't use before of unawareness. We needed to add narration to our PPTs which we ourselves didn't know until recently.

"has been serving me well for years"
What do you like best about Microsoft PowerPoint?

This program has served me well from the time I learned it in middle school to now when I use it for some of my work presentations. I like the variety of options for animating slides and also the nice selection of slide templates for work presentations.

What do you dislike about Microsoft PowerPoint?

When I use a different program for some of my other work presentations, I like the ability to collaborate with coworkers on a presenation in real time. That's not something I've experienced with Microsoft PowerPoint.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft PowerPoint:

Take some time to explore the platform. There are a lot of professional slide decks to choose from and a lot of fun slide decks to choose from. It has really evolved over the years and can serve you well for your professional or personal needs for presentations.

What problems is Microsoft PowerPoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an editor, I train my writing teammates on word choice, grammar rules, team-specific content, and more. It's helpful to have something to look at while I talk and also something for teammates to look back at later for a refresher.

"The best slide editing and creation tool"
What do you like best about Microsoft PowerPoint?

I like the design, which is simple and very intuitive. I love the transitions that give a super different effect to the presentation, making the slide very dynamic and intuitive.

What do you dislike about Microsoft PowerPoint?

The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't enable "autosave" on its own the first time you create a slide, which has caused me to lose a few jobs.

What problems is Microsoft PowerPoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can present videos, web pages, everything directly from a presentation created by power point, I can make interactive slides which avoids having to pay for other tools.

"Sharepoint and Powerpoint’s powerful integration"

I think copying templates can be improved more

Sharepoint and Powerpoint integration saves me time and effort.
