What do you like best about Microsoft PowerPoint?
I’ve used Microsoft PowerPoint for years, and it’s still my go-to presentation tool, simply because it does everything I need, and more. The ease of use is one of its standout features. Whether I’m creating a quick visual for a meeting or building a full keynote deck, the intuitive interface makes it easy to jump straight in and get results fast.
It’s something I use frequently, often multiple times a week, across various projects, from workshops and webinars to client pitches and internal strategy sessions.
What really makes PowerPoint shine is the sheer number of features. From animations and transitions to charts, icons, templates, and design ideas, it offers a creative edge without being overly complicated. It’s flexible enough for both simple and complex presentations, and it’s perfect for storytelling.
The benefits are clear. It helps me communicate ideas visually, keep audiences engaged, and maintain brand consistency. It’s also incredibly reliable—I never worry about compatibility or formatting issues.
Another huge plus is its integration with other platforms. I often pull in data from Excel, link to Word documents, or present directly through Teams or Zoom. That seamless workflow saves time and keeps everything connected.
On the rare occasions when I’ve needed customer support, Microsoft has been helpful and responsive, with a wealth of online resources, tutorials, and live chat support available when needed.
All in all, PowerPoint continues to be a powerful, trusted tool that plays a key role in how I present ideas and engage with audiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Microsoft PowerPoint?
While I really value PowerPoint, there are a couple of things that could be improved. Sometimes, the design tools can feel a little clunky, especially when aligning elements or working with layered visuals, it’s not quite as slick as some graphic design platforms.
Also, with so many features and templates, it’s easy to get stuck in a loop of overediting, which can slow things down if you’re not careful. Although collaboration has improved, real-time co-editing isn’t always as seamless as it is in other cloud-first tools, such as Google Slides.
That said, these are minor gripes in an otherwise brilliant tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
