Considered Both Products
Allo
Chose Allo
Miro is a direct competitor for Allo. It has more features and integrations but Allo appeals much more to us because of the easy-to-navigate and elegant interface, as well as speed. Infinity is an all-in-one project management app. It's ideal for detailed project management and …
Chose Allo
The user interface from Allo was much more preferable and user friendly. Also offers better features as well.
Google Slides
Chose Google Slides
PowerPoint has the most features but doesn’t sync as well as Google Slides. Keynote is not compatible for many people. Google Slides is by far the best option for collaboration and ease of use.
Chose Google Slides
Figma, Pitch, Microsoft Powerpoint, Apple Keynote, Canva and Adobe InDesign
Chose Google Slides
Google Slides is easier to learn and share than PowerPoint. While Miro is better for a working collaboration, Slides is a better presentation tool. Lumio and Nearpod are great for leading presentations where each person has a device, Slides is more compatible for presenter …
Chose Google Slides
Google Slides works both online and offline, they are free to use if you have a Google account. Easy to share and are supported by most web browsers. A great addition to your arsenal of interactive educational online platforms.
Chose Google Slides
It has probably around 90% of the common features that are present in PowerPoint but is more appropriate for today's workflows of being online. Conveniently included with GSuite packages often makes it more of a default option over PowerPoint in modern times. I have not listed …
Chose Google Slides
Skids is so much easier to use than PowerPoint and the design is much, much simpler. You can be more creative with Slides because it is flexible enough to use unlike PowerPoint. The downside is there is a learning curve because it isn’t the same old crappy software everyone …
Chose Google Slides
On a standalone basis, where no collaboration is needed, Microsoft Powerpoint is a superior tool because the functionalities are easier to use and much more robust. But if collaboration is needed, Google Slides is optimal for business, sales and strategy collaboration. It is …

Allo is extremely well suited for companies that share lots of internal documents and assets that could easily be grouped into boxes. We manage several projects so it makes sense for us to condense all of our documents that various team needs, by team and department with our clients.

Google Slides is perfect for teams working on a presentation for a customer, where multiple people can be working on the same presentation at the same time. It is also helpful to see who is currently viewing the presentation and if and what they are currently editing. Google Slides might not be the best solution for all presentations as sometimes a customer requests a live demo.

  • Sometimes bugs in changing fonts or other formatting
  • Edit tracking, while good, could still be improved
  • Better basic flow-charting

The popularity for Google Slides among the casual technology tool users is so great that we are not in a position to replace this tool with anything else. Every other tool either doesn't have the popularity, or doesn't match the ease of sharing level of Slides. The training needed to learn a different tool is too great. Google Slides is very easy to pick up and master.

It fairly easy to use and manage, especially if you are already in the Google Suite - however design styling is often lacking and missing - which can be a major draw back if you are presenting to an external party. For those cases I will typically use Keynote or Figma Slides

Miro is a direct competitor for Allo. It has more features and integrations but Allo appeals much more to us because of the easy-to-navigate and elegant interface, as well as speed. Infinity is an all-in-one project management app. It's ideal for detailed project management and keeping tracts of tasks (and other. items) but Allo is much better for designing and brainstorming.

Return on Investment
  • helps improve and maintain productivity
  • The windows app keeps the cpu very busy so can slow other application
  • team collaboration has been improved since using this program
Read full review
  • We're switching from microsoft to google and it has had a decently positive ROI due to reduced friction of figuring out and managing sharepoint
  • The negative impact is that it does not do everything we need for product and design so we do have to supplement it with more specific software
  • Another positive is that it has reduced the friction in easily creating and sharing PPTs during client-facing meetings making it easier for our bd, sales and product teams to make a positive impact on potential + current clients
