For a quick, easy presentation that you can easily project onto a TV or other screen, Google Slides is a perfect fit.

Pros

Google slides is easy to use and integrates well in the google suite. A novice can easily create a slideshow without any problems. There are also some more advanced features for power users.

Cons

Google slides doesn't always integrate well with other presentation software. Also, so of their menu structures make it difficult to find the functions you're used to in other programs.

Using Google Slides together with the PowerPoint app for some time now, my experience has been great. Both apps serve almost the same purpose, but the online features on Google Slides make it better.

Pros

Google Slides gives me the privilege to create and even use other apps like Zoom Presentation. It has a lot of features where one can also create in offline mode and later on present online. I have been using this app for some time now and though there are other ones I use, I think for presentation, this qualifies and it is easy to use.

Cons

Hmmm, so far so good. Compared with PowerPoint, I would say almost the same.

I grew up using PowerPoint UNTIL I discovered Google Slides. Google Slides is so easy to use, easily accessible on any device, and my go to for all my presentations! It has great transitions, templates, and most importantly can be accessed by signing into your GMAIL. You no longer have to worry about whether your PowerPoint presentation will be a valid format on the computer you're presenting on.

Pros

I love how simple it is to use, the templates, and most importantly the fact that you can easily pull up Google Slide presentations simply by logging into your Google account since sometimes computers aren't compatible with PowerPoint.

Cons

Nothing. I absolutely LOVE Google Slides. I have used it for every presentation for years now.

My overall experience with Google Slides was excellent I really liked the website in general and its free use. I like how students are able to use this website for their projects that teachers assign and its in completely free of use! Overall it's a 10/10 website and highly recommend it.

Pros

I liked how you are free to do anything you want within the website. Everything is free to use and you can be creative with the features included too.

Cons

One thing I didn't like was how sometimes it was hard to control the bubble boxes, or find the right features to click on in order to do the right thing you need to do.

I have used GSlides for company presentations, audience engagement, videos and more. It's everything I need. Easy to access on the go on any device by any team member. Perfection.

Pros

I really enjoy using Google Slides and don't see myself switching from it anywhere in the near future. It serves its purpose perfectly and helps me survive college coursework. 10/10.

Pros

As a student, I am constantly assigned tasks of all varieties. In light of this I dont think there a single digital presentation I have done not using google slides. It is easy and practical to use, beyond perfect for collaborating, and has tons of features that can fit to any individual's style whether that be on the beginner end or for those who are far more advanced there is something for everyone.

Cons

The only thing I disliked is the lack of aesthetics. It is hard to find slide templates in app that I find myself reaching for however that is nothing I can't solve by using outside presets.

Overall, Google slides is a critical tool for companies needing a seamless embedded internal presentation tool for alignment. If you want beautiful visually appealing presentations use Canva.

Pros

Google slides is the most convenient tool to implement due to it's inclusion within the google suite. This means the training required across the company is minimal and the ability to share is frictionless enabling hundreds of employees to collaborate. Google slides storage is easy with search and the real-time collaboration is a plus.

Cons

It is incredibly hard and time consuming to create beautiful visually appealing presentations. We also use Canva and this is just leaps and bounds ahead of Google slides when it comes to design and ease of use. For internal presentations without design requirements Google slides is fine. Once you want to create visually appealing slides as a non-designer it becomes unusable.

It is a versatile tool, with solid capabilities for creating presentations for in-person or virtual audiences. Its mobile-centric design ensures excellent viewing on all types of screens. Cloud synchronization ensures that my progress is never lost, while multiple users can work concurrently. The support provided by Google through forums and specialized channels was quick to resolve doubts. Without a doubt, it is a reliable and constantly innovating platform to optimize my presentations

Pros

I mainly liked the ease of collaborating with others simultaneously on the slides. The intuitive interface makes creating and editing presentation content very easy. It has a wide range of elegant templates for different uses, with support for advanced animations that provide greater dynamism to the slides. Differentiated access allows selective sharing while maintaining control. Integration with other G Suite tools streamlines workflows

Cons

What I liked least were some limitations when formatting images in a very specific way. Although version history maintains the integrity of the project, it was sometimes cumbersome to make changes to previous versions
