Pros

“There aren’t as many design options, animations, or customization features, so creating a really polished presentation can sometimes take extra effort.”

“Google slide has a lot of beautiful features with beautiful interface which makes it one of my favorites apps to create and collaborate presentations with my team .”

John C.

“Live collaboration is the best part about Google slides, having multiple people being able to update at the same time makes creating group presentations seamless.”

Cons

“What I least like about Google Slides is the available templates and graphical objects, and well as the limited amount of fonts and effects.”

Ricardo I.

Self Employed

“Animations and layout tools are nowhere near as good as PowerPoint, we create custom slides on Powerpoint due to limitations in the Adobe software, while trying to make an impact on screen.”

Owais I.

CEO

“I’ve played with it multiple times to see if it can help customize and it was a complete fail… also may be user error!”
