Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 3/23/2020 "PowerPoint Productivity Boost" 5/5 What do you like best about Astute Review? Astute Review allows me to format large slide decks with ease and significantly reduces the amount of time my team and I spend formatting slide decks. You can learn how to use it on your own (it is very user friendly) or you can receive formal training from one of their representatives. It boosts productivity and allows me to focus on more important things than formatting slides like analytics, other client deliverables, and sleep (when the deck that was supposed to be due next week is now due tomorrow morning at 8 AM). The customer service is fantastic (they have always been readily available for training or questions when needed) and they are constantly working on improving an already great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Astute Review? There are always one or two slides within a deck that are formatted a certain way for a specific reason. Knowing how to correctly use the tool and understanding the underlying statistics behind the recommendations are important for every user. It is very user friendly and only takes a few minutes to become oriented so this has not been much of an issue for myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Astute Review: This product will save you time and money. If you are on the fence about committing to a license you can receive a free trial directly from their website and even formal training from one of their representatives before purchasing.

What problems is Astute Review solving and how is that benefiting you? Astute Review has helped me save countless hours on formatting PowerPoint presentations. Every other week my team gives project updates to our client. With 70+ slides from a total of 10+ team members formatting the final decks used to be a nightmare. Astute Review streamlines the formatting process and ensures all font, font color, slide titles, bullets, slide numbers, capitalization, decimal precision, and punctuation is consistent for all slides. This gives me back about 90% of the time I used to spend formatting slides and allows me to focus on more important work. My Managing Director loves Astute Review and had no problem signing off on the yearly license, which has more than paid for itself through our boost in productivity. I recommend this tool for anyone/any company that utilizes PowerPoint on a frequent basis (consulting, VC, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
