Google Slides Reviews ![Google Slides](https://workspace.google.com/static/img/products/png/slides.png "Google Slides") Google Slides By [Google](https://www.g2.com/sellers/google) 4.6/5(48,240) This rating reflects the full Google Workspace suite ## About Google Slides Google Slides is a cloud-based presentation software developed by Google, available as part of Google Workspace. It enables individuals and teams to create, edit, and deliver visually compelling slide presentations entirely within a web browser — with no software installation required. Slides can be accessed from any device, including desktop computers, smartphones, and tablets via the App Store and Google Play Store, and supports full offline editing so users can stay productive even without an internet connection. At its core, Google Slides is built for real-time collaboration. Multiple users can co-edit the same presentation simultaneously, eliminating the need to send files back and forth. Granular sharing controls allow creators to manage exactly who can view, comment on, or edit a deck. Live pointers let collaborators follow each other's activity on the canvas in real time, and a full revision history makes it easy to revert to earlier versions of a presentation at any time. Teams can also collaborate in context by joining a Google Meet video call directly from within a Slides presentation, with all Meet and Slides controls accessible in one unified interface. Google Slides offers a rich set of design and presentation tools. Users can enhance their decks with videos, animations, smooth transitions, diagrams, and ready-to-use visualizations such as timelines, processes, and hierarchies. A refreshed sidebar interface surfaces key features quickly, while a library of modern, fully editable templates covers use cases from annual planning and client proposals to workshop facilitation and pitch decks. Building blocks — pre-designed, fully editable components like key stats, agendas, and quotes — help users assemble polished slides faster. An expanded stock and web media library provides access to millions of high-quality stock images, web images, and GIFs. Proportional scaling allows groups of objects and text to be resized while preserving image clarity. Gemini AI is deeply integrated into Google Slides. With Gemini in Slides, users can generate entire presentations from a simple text prompt, referencing files from Google Drive or Gmail as source material. Gemini can create original images and custom visuals using Imagen 3, suggest images for individual slides, generate speaker notes, produce executive summaries, create agenda slides, and help refine messaging throughout a deck. Users can also match the style of an existing deck automatically when generating new presentations. Google Slides supports seamless import and interoperability with Microsoft PowerPoint — users can convert PowerPoint files to Slides format or edit .pptx files directly without making a copy. Canva presentations can also be imported. Linked slides allow teams to sync content across multiple presentations from a single source of truth, making it easy to keep recurring decks like quarterly business reviews up to date. For presenters, Slides offers the ability to present live or record a presentation directly within the app. The Speaker Spotlight feature embeds the presenter's video feed directly into the presentation during a Google Meet session. A Skip Slide feature lets presenters hide select slides without deleting them, and a Grid View enables easy reordering of multiple slides at once. Extensibility is a key strength: Google Slides supports a wide ecosystem of add-ons available through the Google Workspace Marketplace — including Pear Deck, Nearpod, and Slido — and developers can build custom integrations using the Slides API and Google Apps Script. Anyone with a Google Account can use Google Slides for free, while advanced features such as Slides recording, Speaker Spotlight, and Gemini for Workspace capabilities are available on select Google Workspace plans.

"All-in-One Solution for Communication and Collaboration" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Google Workspace? What I like best about Google Workspace is how seamlessly it combines communication, collaboration, and productivity tools into one connected ecosystem. Applications like Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet, and Calendar work together very smoothly, making it easier to manage work, projects, and communication from a single platform. One of the biggest advantages is the real-time collaboration feature. Multiple people can edit documents, spreadsheets, or presentations simultaneously, which makes teamwork much faster and more efficient. The automatic saving and cloud-based accessibility are also extremely convenient because files can be accessed securely from almost any device without worrying about losing progress. I also appreciate how user-friendly and organized the platform feels. Sharing files, scheduling meetings, managing tasks, and communicating with teams can all be done quickly without requiring complicated setup or technical knowledge. The integration between tools helps simplify workflows and improves overall productivity. Overall, Google Workspace provides a reliable, flexible, and efficient environment for collaboration, communication, and project management, making everyday work much more organized and convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Workspace? What I dislike about Google Workspace is that some advanced features and storage options are limited in the basic or free versions, which can become restrictive for larger teams or users managing heavy workloads. As projects grow, upgrading to higher-tier plans can become necessary, which may increase overall costs. Another issue is that while the platform works very well online, certain features can feel limited when internet connectivity is weak or unstable. Offline functionality exists, but it is not always as smooth or reliable as fully desktop-based software. I also feel that managing permissions, shared drives, and file organization can occasionally become confusing in larger collaborative environments. In some situations, files and documents can become difficult to track when many people are editing or sharing content simultaneously. Although Google Workspace is highly efficient and user-friendly overall, improving offline capabilities, storage flexibility, and organization controls would make the experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Workspace solving and how is that benefiting you? Google Workspace solves the problem of disconnected communication, file management, and team collaboration by bringing multiple productivity tools into one integrated cloud-based platform. Instead of using separate applications for email, file storage, meetings, documents, and scheduling, everything works together within a single ecosystem, which makes workflows much more efficient and organized. One of the biggest problems it solves is real-time collaboration. Teams can work on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations simultaneously without needing to constantly send updated versions back and forth. This reduces confusion, saves time, and improves productivity, especially when working remotely or across different locations. Google Workspace also simplifies file storage and accessibility through Google Drive, making it easier to securely access files from different devices at any time. Features like automatic saving, cloud syncing, and easy sharing help reduce the risk of losing important work and make collaboration smoother. For me, the platform improves communication, project coordination, and overall productivity. It helps manage tasks more efficiently, keeps work organized, and allows faster collaboration while reducing the need to switch between multiple tools and platforms.

Full Stack Developer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/30/2026 "Keeps Technical Documentation and Collaboration Seamlessly in One Place" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Google Workspace? Google Workspace works well for keeping technical discussions, documentation and project-related information closely tied to the development process. I am able to use Docs for writing technical notes, Sheets for managing and calculating data/metrics, Drive for storing and exchanging project information and Meet/Chat for in-time discussions regarding issues that arise during development. This eliminates the necessity of having different tools for communication and documenting in place and allows me to keep everything within the development process itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Workspace? In larger development projects, there tends to be an overload of shared documents and spreadsheets and the challenge becomes figuring out which resource is the most up-to-date. Using spreadsheet for documentation becomes somewhat inconvenient as well in case if there is any need for logic to be applied or automation to be performed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Workspace solving and how is that benefiting you? The biggest benefit of Google Workspace is that it allows seamless connection between development process and team communication. All the requirements, all the documents, all the review notes and project discussion are easily accessible to everyone and version history allows seeing how the shared content has been modified.

Electrical Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/29/2026 "Google Workspace Makes Engineering Documentation Accessible and Collaborative" 4/5 What do you like best about Google Workspace? Google Workspace is a great tool that allows keeping engineering documentation easily accessible to the whole team. I can use Docs to keep engineering documentation such as design notes and specifications, Sheets to arrange my test readings or component information, and Drive to store my reference files. The ability to edit simultaneously is especially useful for reviewing technical information by several engineers as it allows seeing edits instantly and leaving comments to particular parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Google Workspace? In the process of engineering projects, a huge amount of drawings, spreadsheets, reports, and other documentation is created. It is hard to find the latest version without proper structure and naming of the files. Also, engineering calculations performed on spreadsheet have some limitations comparing to dedicated engineering software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Google Workspace solving and how is that benefiting you? Google Workspace gives us an easy-to-use shared platform for documenting engineering project and performing its review. The information about changes and reasons behind them, as well as shared access, will help all team members understand each other better and reduce the circulation of many copies of technical documentation.

Google Workspace comes in handy when it comes to maintaining connections between the various steps involved in the analysis process. I am able to count on Sheets to construct proper comparison tables, Docs to record my assumptions and requirements information in a properly organized manner, and Slides to deliver the conclusion using proper organization.

The interface is simple and intuitive, and the integration between Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Calendar and Meet makes managing my day-to-day work much easier. For my role, where I deal with clients, partners, leads, marketing activities, events and reporting, the ability to collaborate and access everything from anywhere is a major advantage. Performance is reliable, the overall cost provides good ROI, and onboarding new users is straightforward. My experience with Google Workspace's AI and automated features has been positive overall. They are particularly useful for saving time on repetitive tasks such as drafting emails, summarising information, organising content and helping me get through large amounts of communication more efficiently. For my work with clients, partners, IBs and internal teams, AI helps me get a good starting point quickly, especially when I need to turn rough ideas or information into a professional message or document.
