FR Francis R. Consulting Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/21/2020 "PowerPoint formatting and checking made easy!" 5/5 What do you like best about Astute Review? Astute Review is a great and easy to use tool for checking formatting and style consistencies across a PowerPoint slide deck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Astute Review? Only thing that comes to mind is when using dark mode/theme, the text is difficult to read in the review panel. Minor nuance, but official support for dark mode would be sick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Astute Review: I think the biggest thing that has been beneficial to me is the time savings when pulling together presentation content. Astute Review really does take the pain away from worry about content styling and formatting and let's me focus on the message I'm trying to deliver. If I had to put a number on it, I'd say it easily cuts my time to pull a presentation together in half. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Astute Review solving and how is that benefiting you? Initially I considered myself a perfectionist when it came to putting together presentation content. I'm consistently worrying about getting an idea or topic across, while also making sure styling and formatting is consistent with our organization's branding and of course looks professional. Astute Review really takes the pain and worry away from styling and formatting and lets me focus on the message I'm trying to deliver. I do have a universal slide deck I tend to modify per need basis depending what customer or audience I'm presenting to and while I thought things were perfect, Astute Review found and was able to correct right away many small nuances in formatting you deal with when reusing slides or content from other sources. More recently, I've found the tool to be extremely helpful in converting my decks into our latest company branding templates. A simple copy, paste into the new template, run Astute Review, accept changes, and boom. Done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to pick up the smallest differences in slides such as misaligned title boxes that jump around the page, extra spaces between words and punctuation and any alignment variances throughout the presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Astute Review? The best feature listed above can at times be a double-edged sword. Although it excellent in picking up minor details, it will at times pick up too many making the review process a bit laborious. Suggested corrections it provides are not always the most cosmetically effective. Greater user ability when deciding on suggested corrections would go a long way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Astute Review solving and how is that benefiting you? When building a sales deck that tend to be anywhere from 300-600 slides created by 20 different people, it can be tough maintaining consistency with punctuation style and layout.
