Presentations available to all, the best to make your ideas known. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2018 **What do you like best about SlideShare?** It allows me to easily share the elaborated presentations for my classes with the students, since they can access them from any computer, also any other person that is interested in the subject can consult them. You can also have feedback from those who observe the presentation, as it is possible to comment on them, allowing authors to improve them based on the comments. As a user, I think it's an excellent content search engine, and here you can get presentations from students and professionals, which gives you a wide spectrum of opinions on a particular topic. **What do you dislike about SlideShare?** The presentations are rigid, they do not support animations, which can be unattractive to certain types of users and make them migrate to other pages looking for the information they need. Another disadvantage is that the information that can be given through the slides has a limited character, it has happened to me that after preparing a presentation I have not been able to hang it. Another flaw that I observed in this program was that when I rejected a file that tried to hang up, it did not indicate why. **Recommendations to others considering SlideShare:** I would recommend it to anyone who wants to spread their ideas to a large audience, it is a very useful tool to post their presentations on the web, it also allows to interact with the user, as their comments come to your email account. **What problems is SlideShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** It represents an important support for my classes and conferences. ### 26.

For my university classes I also use this tool. I simply upload the presentation of the information of the class and from there, my students can have the information at hand from their mobile and even serves them to study once at home. **What do you dislike about SlideShare?** There are very few bad comments I can make about this tool which is wonderful in my opinion. If I had to say something that sometimes happens is the fact that when the presentation is very heavy it takes a long time to load and it may be that once it is done it can not be seen, generating an error so you must start the process again of cargo. The good news that although sometimes you must repeat the process always loads you and there you forget the bad time you were waiting to upload the information. **Recommendations to others considering SlideShare:** For me it is the best alternative, when I want to share information in different social networks and for my students to see my classes in a quick and easy way. **What problems is SlideShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** I save time in handling the information I want to share, both with my students or with the group of people who attend my conferences.

It’s a great way to make your content more visual, which is always more appealing to audiences. I’ve recommended SlideShare to clients as a way to generate additional exposure for content such as press releases, articles and white papers. Since it’s free for individuals to access these materials, it’s a great way to get more people to see the content. It’s very user friendly and provides flexibility in the types of content you can upload. You can add a pre-designed PDF to SlideShare or you can break up the content from one PDF page into multiple more digestible slides. The possibilities are truly endless. If you’re going to be using the platform a lot, you can create a customized business page to add even more credibility to your profile. You can track the number of followers you receive and the number of views on each presentation. You can even use SlideShare for lead generation. **What do you dislike about SlideShare?** So far I haven’t encountered anything that I dislike about this platform. I do think it’s sometimes a forgotten tool and one that clients aren’t aware of so it might take a little bit more explaining if they don’t see the value in it. But it’s simple to use and another great tool for me and my firm’s clients. **Recommendations to others considering SlideShare:** Make sure your content is digestible by not putting too much information on each slide. Follow the same rules you would for a PowerPoint so that people can easily learn from your uploads. **What problems is SlideShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** Increasing visibility of content. Helping educate. Positioning clients as thought leaders. Generating leads. ### 31.

The free version is also great to utilize. **What do you dislike about SlideShare?** Nothing yet! We do not use it on a daily basis or use it to acquire leads yet, as ours is a very niche industry in finance. **Recommendations to others considering SlideShare:** If you're looking for a free service to get information out in the world on your brand or your industry topics, this is a great tool. **What problems is SlideShare solving and how is that benefiting you?** I primarily use slideshare to get relevant content out, usually informational slides, PDFs, one-sheets or infographics to folks searching for information on that topic or pertinent questions. ### 36.

Supports major formats such as powerpoint and open office. Ability to collect sales leads through the shared community. Adopted the widely used login process of linking with facebook and/or linkedin. **What do you dislike about SlideShare?** pricing plans are rather high. The free plan is very limited in functionality requiring a subscription to even begin to use slideshare (few free features). Lacks official tablet support, just web-based page which lags! **Recommendations to others considering SlideShare:** Theres a wide array of presentations available, so its perhaps worthwhile sharing (if your looking to share) your presentations. Ideally should be used in conjunction with Prezi or Sliderocket (who can create and share) and to use Slideshare to hit the wider community. ### 41.
