1. The library functionality saves us a lot of time in accessing latest slides, as well as eradicating the version control issues we were previously struggling with.

2.Slide checker tool is excellent to catch formatting inconsistencies, and the UpSlide formatting tools (alignment, swap shapes, format painter etc) make slide creation much quicker.

3. The links to excel/word have made our reporting production far more efficient (and accurate).

4. Training and general Q&A/support has been excellent from day one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From an admin's perspective:

1. Adding new content to the library can be slow with long loading/buffering time.

2. Would love to be able to add a deck to the library and individual slides from that deck then be inserted by the team in isolation from that deck - that's currently not possible, so as admin I have to load decks twice - once as individual slides, and again as a full deck, to allow the team full flex on deck creation.

3. Slide converter tool is ok, but usually requires a fair amount of manual intervention to convert old (not UpSlide created) slides into the UpSlide format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that UpSlide is really easy to use and it integrates directly with PowerPoint, so we don't have to learn new software. The library feature is a game changer for us, having everything in one place and easily updatable is huge for our company. It saves a lot of time since everything is easily searchable. We have also found it easy to implement in Word and Excel, using the same library is super convenient. The setup process was simple thanks to the fantastic support from the UpSlide team, who have been great in getting templates set up and offering well-attended training sessions.

We have only had one struggle which was mass-uploading images to the library. But Natasha has been extremely helpful and given us a lot of support throughout the onboarding process, so it's not slowed us down or made an impact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The linked slides feature which allows multiple decks to update from a single slide is excellent. This feature along would save hours each week.

It has been easy to implement and integrate with plenty of support from the Upslide team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are yet to come across any major issues, so far we have liked what we have seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Having to revisit training - not always possible to take onboard all of the information in one go! 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.

This tool is easy to use and efficiently links Excel with Word and PowerPoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not intelligent enough for the time being. 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.

- Seamless Excel-PowerPoint integration: UpSlide maintains dynamic links between documents, even when source files are renamed or relocated. This saves time and improves reporting efficiency.

- Exceptional customer support: The UpSlide team sets a high bar with their deep commitment to client success, fast response times, and top-notch service quality. 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.
