5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

It's easier to make better-looking slides using Keynote over PowerPoint and Google Slides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I don't use Keynote as much as I use Adobe products in creating presentations so I have to reorient myself to the tools whenever I starta new project in it. Also, collaborating via iCloud is not smooth. So improvements on that aspect would be very welcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

It's way better that PowerPoint and way, way better than Google Slides. If you use a Mac, opt for Keynote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

"So much better than Powerpoint"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

I started using Keynote after seeing that all of the beautiful decks I was seeing were actually being built using Keynote over PPT. Ask a designer and they will all tell you it's superior. It's simpler than Powerpoint, but the simplicity really allows you to focus on a deck that is beautiful, readable and just overall better. The built in templates are super helpful and because Keynote is less widely used, I think people are less likely to know that you used a template to get you started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

The biggest limitation is obviously that Keynote is limited to Mac users only. I've also had some difficulties and messiness when coverting from Keynote to Powerpoint (something that inevitably happens if I have to share a doc or give it to someone to present for me. Additionally, the learning curve to start using Keynote if you are only used to PPT can be a bit tough. I definitely had to invest some extra time to get comfortable using it.

Keynote is not as strong as Powerpoint in terms of data visualization. Where Powerpoint connects seamlessly to excel - Keynote definitely limits you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keynote solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's silly, but Powerpoint is just clunky. Sure, if you want just to put text on a page and present that -it's fine. But if you are pulling together something you actually want to be visually interesting, Keynote is significantly better in all aspects. Image cropping within your deck is much easier with Keynote and the transitions offered feel more updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
