UpSlide Reviews & Product Details

UpSlide’s client and user support is superb.

The client team is always friendly and professional, and are highly responsive, offering clear, practical advice and guidance.

For our management team, this has made reporting and decision making easier.

For our users, this has meant quick resolution of any issues—whether through detailed written instructions or live walkthroughs over calls.

Functionality:

UpSlide’s intuitive user interface makes it easy to use, especially for new users who can get up to speed quickly. Other key features that stand out include:

• Template & Slide Layouts: having these embedded in the UpSlide ribbon makes it easy to keep our whole team on-brand and visually consistent.

• UpSlide Library: having pre-prepared content in one location saves users from across our whole team significant time, and also helps us to present ourselves consistently to clients.

• Slide Library Linking: Simplifies the process of making updates to frequently used slides, ensuring consistency and saving time.

• Automated Table of Contents: Removes the need for manual renumbering and removes the chance of mistakes, streamlining document preparation.

• Formatting Tools: Makes formatting accessible even to those who are less familiar with PowerPoint, reducing reliance on our Graphic Design support.

• Continuous Improvement: The introduction of new features—like the Dynamic library module—shows UpSlide’s commitment to evolving the product. This particular update looks to significantly improve what is currently a manual and time-consuming task.

• Monthly Reporting: Helps us identify adoption gaps and target specific teams, ensuring they understand and benefit from UpSlide’s capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UpSlide is a very powerful tool, but there are a few areas where improvements would enhance the user experience:

• Library Performance: Updating items in the UpSlide Library via PowerPoint can be slow. After making an update, there is often a delay before you can continue working in the library, which can interrupt workflow efficiency.

• Limited Customisation of Automated Features: The automation around the Table of Contents and divider slides is helpful, but it restricts design flexibility. Greater control over layout and styling would provide useful freedom for different designs.

• Dynamic Library Module Navigation: Currently, all images in the Dynamic Library module are stored in a single large folder, making it difficult to navigate. The ability to organise content into subfolders would significantly improve usability on our side and speed up content selection.

• Update Master Layouts in the UpSlide Library: Currently, the Library allows linked slides to be updated individually. However, it would be useful to have a tool that can automatically update all older master layouts in the library to a new master template.

• Excel to PPT Link Limitations

o Charts not editable: Because the charts are imported as images, it becomes difficult to quickly edit and format them in PPT. It would be helpful if charts exported to PowerPoint were fully editable.

o Editable tables: When tables are exported from Excel to PowerPoint as editable objects, they do not retain their original formatting. After updates, the formatting reverts to PowerPoint’s default style. It would be helpful if the “export as editable table” feature preserved the formatting from both Excel and PowerPoint.

Its saves time with formatting.

It also gives us one place to hold key team slides in the library Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like with any tool, increasing internal adoption can be a challenge, especially in busy teams with ingrained habits. But the UpSlide team has been instrumental here too, offering training sessions, best practices, and tailored support to help drive engagement and demonstrate the tool’s value.

What I like best about UpSlide is its ease of use and integration with Microsoft Office, which allows me to work efficiently. Implementing it was a breeze, and the transition didn't require extensive IT support, so I could start benefiting from its features right away. The customer support team is incredibly responsive, always ready to assist and ensure I maximize the tool's capabilities. I find myself using UpSlide frequently, especially for its smart linking and automated formatting, which significantly streamlines my document and presentation workflows. Overall, UpSlide integrates effortlessly into my daily tasks, making it an essential part of my toolkit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While UpSlide is a powerful tool, there are a few aspects that I find less appealing. One of the main drawbacks is the time it can take to refresh links between Excel and other documents, which can slow down my workflow considerably. Refreshing links also requires closing all other Excel windows, which is counterproductive. Additionally, there are some nuanced quirks in the software that aren’t immediately intuitive and require a bit of trial and error to work around effectively. These can be frustrating initially and demand some hands-on experience to navigate efficiently. Overall, while UpSlide has great capabilities, these aspects can be challenging and impact overall usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really easy to keep slides aesthetically pleasing and to the brand's style and makes a lot of things easier and more efficient. It makes finding certain slides and icons easier through the library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of the features I do not know about or are not my "go-to", as I have been using normal PowerPoint for a lot longer and know it better. Education sessions and the material on the website are good for solving this. It would be better if when I'm using normal ppt features or buttons like aligning stuff using what's in ppt shape format rather than the Upslide tab for a popup or something to tell you: "you could've done this quicker through X."

I think the website could be more comprehensive on issues you could have or not know about, sort of like the Q&A Microsoft Support website you can find for general ppt. Ideally, there should be enough online that if I ask Chatgpt "how do I do this on Upslide?", it would know the answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything that I dislike. UpSlide has a number of tools for many purposes. Some of them, I don't use, but that does not mean they are not good tools, just that they are not what I need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UpSlide offers us an effective solution for distributing templates and a shared library across our office, directly within PowerPoint and Excel. This means that anyone in our company can easily create their own presentations, bids, and figures while staying on brand. As a result, the marketing team saves a significant amount of time.

Customer support responds quickly and provides tailored solutions.

The layout and colour tools make working in PowerPoint so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The licensing costs are too expensive to provide every employee with a user account. Additionally, managing administrative tasks in the library takes up a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

• Seamless integration with Microsoft Office, especially PowerPoint, makes slide content management intuitive and efficient.

• Centralized access to content via the library to maintain templates, existing content, iconography, etc. across various applications

• Automation features such as table of contents, smart formatting, and linking data to presentations via Excel or PowerBI

• Support team responsiveness and availability to always address our organization's needs/questions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

• UpSlide is less optimal for organizations with highly customized presentations and collateral, making it better suited for standardized or recurring materials.

• Users would like to see new features and enhancements implemented more quickly in response to feedback to boost adaptability and long-term value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UpSlide is very useful for organizing our materials into one easily accessible place. We no longer have to open multiple power points to copy and paste slides while simultaneously keeping up version control. This way we can control the most recent version of our materials and have our team members easily create decks with the most updated information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be very helpful to be able to upload more than one slide to the library at a time. It's very tedious and time-consuming replacing slides in the library one by one. We are aware that you can save slides as a deck, but for the purposes of our materials, this is not a good way of saving things, and we need to do it individually. Not being able to select more than one slide to replace in the library adds a lot of time onto the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful thing is the user-friendly setup, frequency of usage, number of features, ease of integration and excellent customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As Upslide is a premium tool it can be quite expensive for SME companies. However, after using it for over half a year now in our workstream, I can definetely say regarding our team that we 100% save the costs made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
