"Apple's counterpart to PowerPoint"

4/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

Just like Powerpoint, Keynote is capable of beautiful, interactive presentations. I have not used it for long, but by following a tutorial, I created an interactive planner. My goal is to build our webinars on the iPad using Keynote to work on it no matter where I go with my iPad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I am a big fan of PowerPoint and, therefore, familiar with using it. I had hoped Keynote would be similar, but it is not and is a steep learning curve. I would like to see a Windows 10 app of Keynote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I hope to use it to create presentations on the go using my iPad once I have the skills necessary to utilize it to its full capabilities. Since I do not know how to use it, I usually revert to Powerpoint as it is quicker. I do intend to learn it better so that I can use it more and will update my review then.

"Keynote -- ONLY what you need, nothing else."

5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

The simplicity of the software. Keynote provides you with what you need, and exactly that. There are no unnecessary options and features to confuse the user. The in-built features can do the job for which Keynote is designed perfectly - creating presentations.

Further, if you feel like it, photo and slideshow-based videos can be created on Keynote easily too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

To be honest, nothing. The lack of extra features might be something that I might dock one point for, but it does not matter so much. The in-built features are more than enough to get the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

Go for it. Simply brilliant of a tool to make presentations. It might take a day or two to get used to it, but once you start, it's impossible to go back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Presentation making! That's one thing Keynote made extremely simple for me. Compared to its obvious competitor - MS PowerPoint, Keynote has limits in terms of what you can do. However, those limits end up working in your favour because you're not boggled by a plethora of options in front of you. There are things you can do, and there are things you cannot do. However, the things you cannot do in Keynote ARE NOT NECESSARY to create a nice, beautiful presentation.

Further, there are add-ons that you can download and install in Keynote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keynote a perfect tool for presentations for IOS users"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

I would highly recommend keynote for individuals who are well versed with Mac OS and not windows. The software is seamless and is one of the best-suited alternatives for windows and the tools provided by the system work well in carrying out everyday business affairs.

Keynote for Ipad with all touch is one of the best ways to perform business operations on the go when traveling or change things in real-time real quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

While being one of the finest products, Apple can make an exception to make it available to windows and android users to share this experience with the world and not just IOS users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent alternative for Mac User not wanting to pay for MS PowerPoint"

5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

Keynote is just as simple as the major competitors. It is simple, easy, and can save in any format for sharing. Keynote offers many ways of creating a vivid presentation to create your story. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

This is no fault of theirs but the simple fact that many people are not using this product. Therefore if you are in a corporation setting, depending on the company's main tools, it may be hard to share information between teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

I would recommend Keynote to all Mac users. It is simply straightforward, easy to use, and Free. Users will be able to complete stunning professional presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Keynote to create a lot of our teaching points to help get the point across that we are trying to communicate. The ease of flow with the different options makes it our go-to for presenting ministry material. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most comprehensive presentation tool I've used"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

The main advantage of Keynote is simplicity. Like many Apple products, Keynote has an intuitive and user-friendly interface. Most users with basic knowledge can quickly learn how to use Keynote without any problems. The adaptive ecosystem provided by Apple is great. Its simplicity, intuitive and user-friendly interface, and huge range of functions allow you to fully immerse yourself in the ecosystem. If you also have an iMac or any Apple device, you can use Keynote on multiple devices and synchronize your files via the cloud when you make a presentation on any device using iCloud. The lack of unnecessary functionality, tabs, and clutter inherent in PowerPoint allows you to focus on creating presentations without too much effort. A wide selection of templates from the package in a variety of color schemes allows you to speed up the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Keynote can only work on Apple devices. If you have a PC (Windows) and want to create Keynote files from scratch, you're out of luck. To open a Keynote file on a PC, you must first export it to a compatible format, such as. pdf or. ppt. There is also no AI feature, which works quite well in PowerPoint (version 2019+). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

Keynote, Powerpoint, and Google Slides are all perfectly suitable for everyday use. However, I prefer to work in KeyNote because its simplicity and user-friendly interface allow me to focus on the presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Keynote mainly for my presentations to business clients. I create presentations of 10-100 slides with lots of animations, styles, graphs, and everything you can do with Keynote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Presentation design made easy!"

5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

I love how easy it is to use Keynote! It's a powerhouse without all the confusing buttons and options you see on PowerPoint. This lets you focus more on the delivery and context first. Apple Keynote makes it easy for you to design stunning and effective presentations. I especially love the capability of dragging vectors from Illustrator into Keynote and having it be scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I wish we could upload .EPS or .SVG files and be able to change the colors from those assets. Right now, I have to use a little hack that involves PowerPoint to then convert it and be able to edit the colors in Keynote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keynote is a beautiful version of Powerpoint"

5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

I like the ability to create custom decks using our company's logo and design language. I like how easy it is to duplicate and re-use old presentations and then customize them on the fly. I like the overall design of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Sometimes, I have a hard time finding "format" buttons and things like that. Some of the menu organization is a little confusing to me. The more I use it, the more I get used to it, but sometimes, I think "there has to be an easier way to organize these menus". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smoother than Powerpoint with better presentation capability"

4/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

I like the smooth yet simple presentation templates. The ease with which the presentations can look flawless is impeccable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I dislike the not so perfect transition to Powerpoint. I don't expect it to be a perfect transition, but like for it to be tad smoother. I also dislike the heavier file size of each Keynote file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
