I have used think-cell in an "in-house" strategy role (1-2 years) and currently in a consulting role (approx. 3 years.) The thing that think-cell does best is assisting with making compelling and insightful visualizations with not much hassle. think-cell's charts are also very visually distinctive and usually help make your work stand out, especially if sharing with external audiences.

The UI of think-cell can take some getting used to - it is relatively unique (e.g., the "wheel" of options that appears when you right click) and so it's important to read some of the documentation and check out the videos on the think-cell website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fantastic graphing software and presentation enhancer with much better visualizations than default powerpoint. I have used it for years and made it a part of all of my teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning how to use it can be unintuitive for first time users, but it provides a robust how to guide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration of Data from Excel, and they have also now included so many useful charts in the Library section. This tool you can use for creating regular updates with just 1 time standardisation on the table formats and other way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Think-cell lacks or takes a lot of time for formatting of tables initially Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about think-cell is how much time it saves me when creating charts in PowerPoint. I can build complex visuals like waterfalls, Gantt charts, and Mekko diagrams in minutes, and they look polished without needing manual formatting. The integration with Excel is especially helpful. When my data updates, the charts update automatically, which keeps everything consistent and reduces errors. I also appreciate the training resources and demos that make it easy to get started quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about think-cell is that it takes a little time to get used to. The interface isn’t always intuitive at first, and I had to go through a few tutorials before I felt confident using all the features. Also, it is a bit slow sometimes and freezes when I am making updates to graphs. And since it’s optimized for Windows, it’s not ideal for cross-platform work.

I love the simplicity of the tool. The functionality aligns with what I would expect from a native Microsoft tool. Think-cell often acts more like a Microsoft tool than Microsoft does! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have zero complaints about Think-cell. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Very user-friendly and intuitive, even for people who don’t use it often.

- A real time-saver compared to building charts manually in PowerPoint or Excel

- Works seamlessly within PowerPoint and Excel, so there’s no need for extra tools.

- Automates a lot of the tedious work like aligning, labeling, and formatting.

- Easy to switch between chart types without starting over.

- Includes helpful features such as CAGR calculations, automatic totals, Gantt charts, and Excel linking.

- Slides remain editable for colleagues even if they don’t have think-cell installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Sometimes there are limitations in formatting flexibility. While think-cell covers the vast majority of charting needs and produces very professional-looking results, it doesn’t always allow you to implement highly specific design requests. For example, if you want to adjust unusual color gradients, add custom shapes inside charts, or apply very tailored formatting styles, you may still need to do manual fine-tuning in PowerPoint after creating the chart in think-cell.

- Because Thinkcell is a PowerPoint add-in, collaborators who don’t have it installed can make changes outside of Thinkcell. While there is a feature to transfer these changes back into Thinkcell, discovering and reconciling them can interrupt the workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find think-cell extremely easy to use, especially for creating charts on slides, which eliminates much of the hassle. Its ability to save time with automatic updates and linkages, particularly with Excel, significantly boosts my efficiency in making updates and changes. The integration with MS PowerPoint and Excel is seamless, which supports my workflow. The ease of use and active functionality are the biggest selling points for me.

I find it challenging to move graphs or portions of a slide from one location to another within the same slide. It's not easy to relocate and adjust these elements, which is a challenge I'd like to see resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the easy ability to copy/paste from Excel into the think-cell interface, and the ability to write formulas directly into think-cell. The graphics are more attractive and user-friendly than the built-in Microsoft graphs, and I appreciate the ability to easily switch chart types, colors, and other visuals.

Very minor things - sometimes I struggle to change visual characteristics for similar boxes; e.g., if I want to change the font size for every segment label I need to select them all manually. I would love a more user friendly "select all / select similar" functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
