"Is there really even a worth alternative?"

5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

I enjoy the ability to assist in making your slide decks look great. The snap-to-grid tool helps with your spacing and typography. The subtle but powerful animations assist in creating solid points in your presentations. And finally, the built-in default templates look great from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

The only thing I can even begin to think that I don't like is its support for importing older versions of PowerPoint. Sometimes it struggles to open, convert and render them correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Keynote because we need to make great presentations to customers and potential customers. Keynote makes it so easy to do that, even for novice users. It's smooth, looks good almost by default, and you can accomplish some pretty amazing things in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Slides, presentations and storytelling"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

Keynote is a very versatile and very intuitive software, especially suitable for creating video presentations, as Apple's answer to PowerPoint. I find it very complete and professional, from the ability to create master slides, to text formatting up to the ability to copy and paste vector elements from external software such as Illustrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I would insert more panels and functions for the text, to work more professionally. Also could be included libraries with interactive elements such as buttons, carousel, accordion, gallery Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

One of the best software to create presentations or graphic presentation templates, thanks to the many tools available and the animations or transitions present. It has a lot of compatibility with other software, such as Illustrator for importing icons or vector designs. Also present with special versions for iPad and iPhone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use it both to present my graphic design works, therefore creating storytelling, and to create presentation layout templates for my clients, for example for company profile. Also, when I present workshops or lectures, I use it to project my presentation slides. I also use the version on the iPad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keynote for my business"

5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

It's a very productive app that helps me do some of my work easier, it helps me when I am on a meeting I can use the Keynote remote to present easily, I carry all my presentations on my iphone and it is easy to take them with me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I would say that since I do not have an imac i need to send the file into my phone manually, they are not sincronozed or i do not know how to do it, it would be great if that feature is available for windows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

I find this tool so helpful for my work, I use it only when I have to create a presentation for the team or a trainning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Well, now that we are on a home office remote work, it helps me when I have to go to the office, sometimes I do not need to take my laptop with me, I can present directly from my phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool for presentation"

5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

The best features of Apple Keynote is how easy it is to learn and use. It's simple to learn the basics and handles typopraphy and images better than other presentation programs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Keynote is a little expensive, which his typical for Apple products. Because of this, it's not as accessible and ubiquitous as PowerPoint. Would be great to see higher adoption throughout the business community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

I recommend Keynote before any other presentation program on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Adobe Keynote for presentations and all types of other digital presentations of information and data. The presentations are great, but you can also use it for producting other assets like proposals, ebooks, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ann esential tool for public speakers"

5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

The best things about Keynote are its simplicity (even a child can use it), its compatibility with its great rival, PowerPoint, its connectivity, and its combination with other Apple devices, from the Apple Pencil to the iPad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

It´s hard to pinpoint something I dislike about Keynote. Sometimes it crashes while working with huge files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

The foundation of any Keynote is the theme. To select a Theme and start crafting your Keynote, open the Keynote application and go to File > New or press the Command+N keys. Apple provides dozens of ready-to-use presets.

When choosing a theme I recommend that you go for the simpler ones that will display your content without distractions, such as black or white themes for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being a public speaker I need a tool that leverages my storytelling skills. Keynote manages images and videos like no other software and makes it possible to avoid using extra tools as Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"So Simple and Easy!"

4/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

The ease of use is the most helpful aspect of Keynote. You can easily cut and paste and grab and move slides around for your presentation. The UX is so simple. I build out slides on Illustrator and Photoshop and it's so easy to transfer the images to Keynote and change the sizes around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

The only thing I dislike about Keynote is that scroll is the default setting for using a remote rather than page by page. There were many times that I was in a rush and forgot to set it to page by page, and it took time out of my presentation to go back and correct it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The forgotten app"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

What I like best about keynote is that it works well with apple products. Since keynote is linked to apple products I think that makes it more people inclined to use it. I also like how easy it is to set up your presentation with a remote to change slides while presenting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I dislike using keynote because I do not think that it is very user-friendly. There are other presentation products that are out there for general users that would be easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

Give it a try and see if this is the right fit for you. Keynote is very much the personal preference of users. If you don't like it there are a lot of other products out there that do the same thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem that you solve with keynote would be setting up business presentions. Keynote helps solve problems for both small companies and large companies. The benefit that I have seen would be that it is easy to set up with a remote. so you can present without another person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple to use presentation software"

3/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

The most helpful feature of Keynote is the simplicity of the application. It is intuitive because the interface was well made. Another great feature is the themes that come pre-installed within Keynote. I can make great slides for most purposes, or I can start with a blank slide and add to my "canvas" in the way I see fit.

I also like that Keynote came with my Macbook. Not having access to Microsoft Office becomes an issue for users looking to work right away. For what Keynote provides, it is an excellent software that delivers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

While the interface is user-friendly, it is not precisely like PowerPoint. For users looking for an identical, free application like Microsoft's, this is not an ideal alternative for everyone. I found Keynote convenient when I needed to work upon delivery of my laptop, but ultimately, I needed to invest in Microsoft Office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keynote helped me work on my presentation when I didn't have any other option. I was able to export my file as needed, so I wasn't entirely locked into using Keynote for the remainder of my work. It was simple to use right out of the box, and I was pleased with the ability to navigate through a new software upon launching it for the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy efficient presentation program"

5/5

What do you like best about Keynote?

How user friendly it was. Easy to add images and details. Easy to create different slides and different variety of them as well. I used it for posters, presentations, etc. and all were very pleasant experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Saving as a keynote can be a pain because you can only play it through their program, Keynote. So I wish there was an easier way to save and replay/show your slides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

It takes a little bit of trial and error to get used to it, but once you get the hang of it, it's a relatively easy program to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problems we were solving with Keynote at the early childhood center at the jcc were just the easieness of creating presentations. The benefits I've realized are just the pure ease of the use of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
