Considered Both Products
Apple Keynote
Chose Apple Keynote
Keynote is much easier to learn and use than either PowerPoint or Canva. The only advantage Canva has over Keynote is its collaboration features. Canva is gradually improving as a usable presentation software. Its problem lies in its file management, which is counterintuitive, …
Chose Apple Keynote
Simpler than PPT, more Powerful than Slides, better graphics and more pagination friendly than Miro, Simpler to use (and cheaper) than illustrator.
Chose Apple Keynote
To be honest, Apple Keynote was my choice for my youth group presentation needs at first because it was free. But as I have used it more and more, I've come to really appreciate the abilities it has and the ease at which I can create a quality presentation to share with my …
Chose Apple Keynote
Apple Keynote is superior to all except Figma in terms of design functionality. Figma has even more precise alignment with their auto layout features, layers and frame grouping. The only downside of Figma is that we do not purchase licenses for every person at our company, so …
Chose Apple Keynote
It's not cloud based, which is a good thing. There are many similarities. Prezi and other cloud based products are much more powerful.
Chose Apple Keynote
If you want to create presentations more often, Prezi and Canva or not even options, both of tools take a lot of time. So the real competitor for Apple Keynote is Microsoft Powerpoint. For me, Powerpoint is so feature-filled that makes it a little complex. On the other hand, …
Chose Apple Keynote
Keynote has a simpler interface, which is definitely a plus for us because presentations are edited by people from different departments. It's more elegant and intuitive. In my observations, it also runs faster than PowerPoint on Macs, but that may be subjective. Keynote is …
Chose Apple Keynote
While I don't use Keynote for every slide deck project need (software preference often is dictated by what the client has access to), I will promote KeyNote as the preferred format if the client is software-agnostic. The drag and drop feature is incomparable with other software …
Chose Apple Keynote
I use Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote, and Google Slides. Of these three slideshow programs, I find PowerPoint to be the most robust in features and capabilities and in integrations with other programs. It also can be easily used across various devices, platforms, and …
Chose Apple Keynote
Apple Keynote is preinstalled and free to use on any Apple device which makes it very accessible. The ease of use of this tool is much better than the competitive one. The time needed to prepare the nice-looking and high-quality slides in this tool is much lower than in other …
Chose Apple Keynote
Keynote is a better visual aid and generally runs better for us since we use MacBooks (less errors when presenting which really matters in a remote context). It takes more effort to get to a finished product though, since we have to neuter what we present (less slides and …
Chose Apple Keynote
Even though Google Slides makes it easier to share presentations and allow the team to work on one file simultaneously, you just cannot compare it to Keynote. Keynote just makes it so much easier to build beautiful presentations with endless possibilities. From a design …
Chose Apple Keynote
To sum up, Keynote is easier to use, less complicated, and elegant. When you use Keynote, your presentation doesn't look like everyone else's. That alone sets it apart as something special. If you're already a Mac user, then it's a no-brainer because the software comes with the …
Chose Apple Keynote
In my opinion, Apple Keynote is, by far, more aesthetically pleasing than Microsoft Powerpoint or Google Slides. Powerpoint is of course the classic slide-presentation program, and the benefit of Google Slides is that it is entirely cloud-based and therefore you can access your …

Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot! is well tailored to fit the requirements. Whatever you look for is found in Kahoot! therefore it saves you a lot of time in designing training programs while other applications/platforms require a lot of efforts and it is hard to find your way through on the web and …
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot! is very engaging and set up to run quizzes as knowledge competitions.
Chose Kahoot!
I forgot the names of the other products like Kahoot. I think that summarizes how close I am to favoring Kahoot within this category. In our field when it's webinar time we always look forward to Kahoot sessions in between or at the end of the session. It is great to have …
Chose Kahoot!
It is easy to use, more convenient and easy to understand to use. Other application needs to choose first the user photo before joining the game. Most of them has a lag or crash moment.
Chose Kahoot!
I only experience Kahoot and joinmyquizz and have an enjoyable experience. For me, Kahoot is more user-friendly compared to the other game tool. Also, it is not confusing in terms of questions and answers and you will see the rank leader right away. I think Kahoot is most …
Chose Kahoot!
None, I haven't used any other product aside from Kahoot.
Chose Kahoot!
I have not left a review for Quizlet on the website, but it is the closest experience I have had within a similar field group. I've never used Quizlet within a work environment, however, I like that Quizlet allows you to establish your own questions and tests and apply that to …
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot is easier to use, we are more familiar with Kahoot and how it is played. Easy to explain to clients the mechanics of the game. Kahoot is more popular to use when it comes to online games, learning check and fun for clients.
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot is more interactive than Quizlet and Google Classroom providing more engaging learning tools when using. I like Kahoot over Quizlet because of the choice and fun activities that students and teachers can use to check understanding and expand concepts. It gets students …
Chose Kahoot!
Most of the time, the organizers of the webinars or training I attended are using Kahoot. It's fun to use, the fun music while using it, and the cute images. It makes the event lively and exciting while playing.
Chose Kahoot!
It is a slightly different program. Kahoot allows for a game against everyone while Quizlet allows the user to play various learning games such as matching and flashcards. Quizlet Live is similar in that there is a gaming aspect but the game is different in that Kahoot everyone …
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot is better for my competitive students, they love seeing their name constantly on the leaderboard. Kahoot has more lessons to chose from and my students simply like it more than Quizizz. Quizizz is good for more formal assessments, while Kahoot is better for more whole …
Chose Kahoot!
Poll Everywhere had some cool and handy features but didn't offer a robust amount of options for our team, offering tools for internal and external communications. Poll Everywhere also offered a wide array of integrations that were extremely useful but weren't enough to sway …
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot is more engaging than Quizlet. Quizlet is simple and clean. Kahoot's user interface is a bit brighter and busier. Students pay more attention to Kahoot, and request to use it when reviewing information from a lesson or chapter. Kahoot can be used for multiple components …
Chose Kahoot!
We've used Qualtrics in the past to collect the information, but it really isn't designed to be used as a "quiz" feature. We have to export each student's answer individually and that's a tedious process. There's also no automatic feedback. We've also used Quizziz a few times …
Chose Kahoot!
I did not use any other application.
Chose Kahoot!
None, Kahoot! is the market leader.
Chose Kahoot!
Blue Canoe includes games to provide users more means to learn the language in a different way. This program marks each day and sets goals for users to improve participation and engagements. However, it does not have an interface that students and teachers can both work …
Chose Kahoot!
We have also used myQuiz.org which is a totally free alternative. We use them both right now. Kahoot! has more features and looks more polished but myQuiz gets the job done if you need to quickly throw together a simple quiz competition at no charge. myQuiz isn't suited for …
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot offers a plethora of options for creating learning activities to use in the classroom. The variety of choices that I can incorporate when making Kahoots allows me to keep my learners actively engaged. I can differentiate learning for all of my students easily using …
Chose Kahoot!
Kahoot! is very similar to programs like GimKit or Quizlet or Quizziz. I find Kahoot! to be easier to use and it has greater capacity for free storage of quizzes. I have some I've used in past years and they're still available to me. Low cost is exceptionally important to me.

Well Suited: Setting up in-person presentations for clients. The transitions are nicely integrated, the master template easily adjusted, and the file size relatively small for ease in download and emailing as a leave behind. Less Appropriate: Clients often feel that EVERYTHING needs to be set up as a slide deck. However, it is key to listen to the client's needs to first determine the final output. What was initially predetermined to be a slide deck may often be more effective as an email, brochure, or flyer. Keynote does what it is intended to, well, but that doesn't mean that it should ALWAYS be the end product format.

Kahoot is excellent for more mature students, I would say students in 3rd grade and above. It's excellent if you want to create a fun and engaging way to test or quiz students, or even just to review content information. I really appreciate that there are thousands of already made lessons, so I almost never have to make my own! I get to simply search, make sure it's appropriate for what I'm looking for, and use it (yay no prep!).

Pros
  • Enables the integration text, images and graphics extremely seamlessly
  • Allows realtime collaboration across teams
  • Allows fine tuned control over graphic elements, images and text to achieve superior design (relative to PPT or Slides)
  • Enables for presentation or for print equally well

  • Useful for either, in-person or online classes: it can work from a projector or screen in in-person classes, or by sharing the screen in online classes.
  • Excellent to get an idea of the understanding or knowledge level of a group of people: depending on the intention of the game, the professor or person in charge of it can make and change the questions to address certain points.
  • Easy to use for both professors and students: Kahoot is intuitive, simple, and fun to use.
  • Interactive and engaging: Kahoot is a game designed to work as a tool for professors, which makes it perfect to use with students.

Cons
  • The way you adjust timings for builds and transitions was a bit counterintuitive for me. Once I got the hang of it, it was fine. The timings don't work the same as they do in PowerPoint. So if you are a PowerPoint user, that may be something you have to adjust to when you switch to Keynote.
  • I feel that adding images can be clunky when working with image placeholders. Apple Keynote forces you to use the Photo app to replace image placeholders.

  • They can add more ways to perform quizzes.
  • The site is not very simple to find your way through. It is uploaded with so much data; therefore it would be good if they can organize it a little bit.
  • It would be good to give free templates to free users to attract them.

Usability
Apple Keynote is incredibly user-friendly and largely intuitive. In the rare areas that Apple Keynote is not intuitive, there is a robust online community of fellow Apple Keynote users that can answer most questions I have about the program. I would encourage any of my coworkers - and anyone else in my same line of work - to adopt Apple Keynote because of its user-friendliness.

The site's currently layout feels busy. If you are not a seasoned Kahoot user, it is easy to be distracted and overwhelmed by the information presented. I would not recommend this site to a novice computer user. If the user is tech-savvy and willing to navigate the help topics provided by the site, lessons and games can be created more easily with time and practice.

The information that Kahoot shares on its blog and support center is updated frequently and provides many ideas for ways to use the platform. I have personally received timely support from Kahoot for any issues I have encountered. Their dedication to their users is amazing. The company is incredibly receptive to suggestions or ideas from their community.

Return on Investment

  • We use the free version so there is definitely ROI for us.
  • It provides easy access to a quiz feature without having to use complicated software.
  • So many people are using it now that some students seem to be getting a little "over it."
