Using Google Slides together with the PowerPoint app for some time now, my experience has been great. Both apps serve almost the same purpose, but the online features on Google Slides make it better.

Pros

Google Slides gives me the privilege to create and even use other apps like Zoom Presentation. It has a lot of features where one can also create in offline mode and later on present online. I have been using this app for some time now and though there are other ones I use, I think for presentation, this qualifies and it is easy to use.

Cons

Hmmm, so far so good. Compared with PowerPoint, I would say almost the same.

Easy-to-Use Presentation Tool

Google Slides is very useful, quite user friendly, and a simple way to produce presentations across a spectrum of complexity. From interactive libraries of websites and videos to simple text-and-picture slides, Google Slides can do it all. An additional perk is the ability to make a copy of entire Slides presentations and modify them for personal use!

Pros

The best features of Google Slides are its ease of use, customization, integration of other G Suite products, and presentation mode. The array of options that someone can use on Google Slides is staggering; it is accessible to novices and experts in technology. Using this idea, one can really dig deeply to customize slides, creating engaging and interactive presentations. Embedding other G Suite products such as Docs and Drawings is simple, and the ability to create a looping presentation from any Slides project is a plus!

Cons

Though Google Slides are easy to approach for anyone, it is also fairly easy to get overwhelmed. The amount of options available via the toolbar is quite numerous, and this could push away users who are deterred by complicated looking interfaces and too many options.

Google Slides is a tool that I highly recommend, especially if your school or business utilizes the Google suite of products due to the seamless integration between products.

Pros

Google Slides is an easy-to-use presentation software. If allows for import of images, videos, and other formats. Being in the Google suite makes its integration with other Google tools seamless. The controls are intuitive and easy to navigate. Sharing to collaborate is also extremely easy.

Cons

There is not anything that stands out as a negative with Google Slides.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Google Slides

Integration with other Google products and the ability to share easily.

Super easy to learn, you can create wonderful presentations, inserting all types of media is easy and seamless and it is a wonderful tool available in all my dispositives that doesn't need a potent pc to run.

Pros

Collaboration between members of a team working at the same time in one file is for me the best feature because you can see live what everyone is doing and it doesn't glitch or give any problems. It is also very intuitive and the learning curve is very fast.

Cons

When you are working on a public file you need to be logged in with your own email and this information is shown to everyone that goes into the file, meaning that basically everyone can have access to personal information I don't want to give. I would like a way to hide my email in these cases. Logging out is sometimes out of the question because if the file is private it won't open.

Google Slides & Collaboration Features

Reviewed on 06/02/2024

Pros

The most beneficial feature in Google slides in my opinion is the ability to work with other users in real time. Once the slide presentation is shared you can see even remotely what others are adding and can collaborate by using the comment feature.

Cons

Like most software, there is a cost with Google products to use all of the Applications they have in their application suite and online storage space is limited without purchasing more space.

Overall, Google slides is a critical tool for companies needing a seamless embedded internal presentation tool for alignment. If you want beautiful visually appealing presentations use Canva.

Pros

Google slides is the most convenient tool to implement due to it's inclusion within the google suite. This means the training required across the company is minimal and the ability to share is frictionless enabling hundreds of employees to collaborate. Google slides storage is easy with search and the real-time collaboration is a plus.

Cons

It is incredibly hard and time consuming to create beautiful visually appealing presentations. We also use Canva and this is just leaps and bounds ahead of Google slides when it comes to design and ease of use. For internal presentations without design requirements Google slides is fine. Once you want to create visually appealing slides as a non-designer it becomes unusable.

Google slides allows screen sharing easily across multiple platforms. It also allows you to share and work on slides live with others. It is the best presentation site by far!

Pros

I love how easy it is to collaborate with people and work on a something at the same time with live updates. I also find it so convenient how many sites there are that you can import slide templates onto google slides. It is so easy to design presentation visuals and the selection of fonts is endless.

Cons

I have no complaints! I have used google slides for quite sometime and love the ease of use across the whole site.

Every time a company I work for uses Google Slides across the company as the standard presentation tool, e.g. during my tenure at Bananatag/Staffbase, I feel happier instantly as my day to day working on slide decks is going to be much simpler.

Pros

I liked the simplicity. Really easy to use, self-explanatory, all options I needed were easy to find. Without annoying glitches (e.g. typical in Powerpoint when used online), I'd choose Google Slides every time. It's also easier to share and collaborate on in real time.

Cons

Some options when working with images were missing, e.g. compared to Powerpoint. Not enough to prevent me from preferring Google Slides, but it would be nice to have those features added sometime soon.

LOVE it! and use it daily. It helps me stay focused and on task and helps the students as well. I can save it on a certain slide to continue the next day where we left off.

Pros

Google slides is awesome! I use them on a daily basis and have the basics set up for class everyday. Because I have multiple classes at different times during the year I am able to save the slides and use them for the additional classes with only slightly tweaking each days information. I can link videos or specific book pages to the slides so all I have to do is click the link and it takes me right there to share with the class. I can link timers in to give classes specific times to complete their work/group project time. So that the class continues to flow efficiently.

Cons

I tried unsuccessfully to add recorded songs to multiple slides. I would like to make my own slides up to songs that I teach my students without having to click the next button for the slide to change at a specific spot in the song.

Contrary to popular belief, it has a very easy and simple interface. Despite its simplicity, it meets professionalism and needs at the highest level. It has a fast and easy screen structure. All its plugins and tools offer you more than your needs. Moreover, it is the ability to work from anywhere at any time. Moreover, you do not need to carry your data with you.

Pros

It is a free web-based slide software. It is actually one of the Web-based office software. In this service offered by Google, you can access, edit and re-update your slides online or offline from anywhere at any time. Platform is also supported on standalone and mobile. It has a fast and easy structure. It is an ideal service for all your presentation plans. Thanks to its multiple ready-made templates, it quickly and easily reveals the data that suits your needs.

Cons

It's a software I've been using for over a year and it doesn't have a negative feature or feature that I think needs to be changed. Google automatically revises it according to current needs and purposes.
