What do you like best about Keynote?

Keynote is smooth, intuitive, and syncs well with Microsoft or Google programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I'd love if Keynote had more templates in different styles - I've resorted to purchasing others' designs online to have a bigger variety of templates from which to choose. I also wish there were an easy way to make photo slides in bulk rather than having to drag and drop each photo, slide-by-slide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Polyvalent and user-friendly software"
5/5
What do you like best about Keynote?

I use Keynote to make classic slideshows, but also for simple animations that I convert to animated GIF or video. Not having the skills to use Adobe AfterEffects, I arrive at a more rudimentary result, but satisfactory enough for my needs. This software is by far more ergonomic than its main competitor, PowerPoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Sometimes, there is a problem with GIF conversion. The slides are flashing and I don't know why. Also, it could have more animation options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Get the Job Done"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Keynote?

I like that it's built into the iwork suite that Apple has been creating, and it's a good tool to get introductory presentations done. I used it more in college but still jump back to it because it has that intuitive quality Apple products/software has after being a long-time Apple user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

There are a lot of restrictions, I find, so as a professional, I don't invest as much time as I used to because there is other software out there that are quick. Free online tools have amazing templates, better instructions and are built for absolute beginners, whereas Keynote, like mentioned before, it's intuitive if you've been a long-time Apple user. There isn't much support for Keynote in terms of guides or support for troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good product"
5/5
What do you like best about Keynote?

easy to use. All options are directly in front of you and it gives you formulas for custom cells. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I don't like that you can't import a document from another platform that is similar. You will end up losing some of your formatting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It is the better version of PowerPoint"
4/5
What do you like best about Keynote?

Clean designs, easy live sharing accessibility between those on the OS, high volume of templates available that escalate it to the next edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

It's not cross-compatible with Windows, so that can damper co-working and Google Slides can come into play better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

Keynote provides beautiful presentations overall for your company. It is also simple and easy to use if you aren't tech-savvy. The templates on Keynote are also pretty great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I don't believe this is their fault but I wish more people used this in a corporate setting. It's harder to work with this in Teams when not many people use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A simple way to create presentations"
5/5
What do you like best about Keynote?

If youo know Apple programs (or even if you don't), it's pretty intuitive and easy to pick up and start going. It's easy to create something simple, but then also has lots of more advanced features to get fancy if you want to dive in. It uses the standard keyboard shortcuts (whereas PowerPoint does some weird things), and adding animations and transitions is much easier than other applications (and you can get pretty complex with it!) It's even great for just creating paginated PDFs, since you can use master slides and templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

It's exclusive to Macs, so not great for collaborative teams that use both Windows and Mac machines (however, exporting to PDF or image files is very easy, if you only need to share with others). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
