Considered Both Products
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 …
Visme
Chose Visme
We use both tools - Canva is great but not as effective for creating presentations as Visme is.
Chose Visme
When compared to Visme, Prezi has only one feature: presentation creation. However, Visme has many more features, including creating social media content and various marketing videos for our company. This is the reason we choose Visme over Prezi.
Chose Visme
PowerPoint has fewer templates when compared to Visme, PowerPoint has limited editor options, and both offer transitions and animations. Visme has the ability to share files and folders privately, while PowerPoint can only share files privately. Visme helps format the …
Chose Visme
Visme is one of the finest applications in terms of producing more engaging and effective designs, slides or infographics for the business very easily. Illustrator is much more complex and requires a lot of practice for becoming an expert. Whereas, Visme doesn't require …
Chose Visme
Visme in my opinion is a little sub par compared to the other visualization and infographic tools I have used previously. it is a good toll and gets the job done however the training I recieved in tableau was much more helpful and helped me make a better decision and use of …
Chose Visme
In my opinion - PowerPoint slides get boring and even their new auto-designs get outdated after a while.

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.

Visme is great for our team of 8 marketing professionals to create and share graphics, presentations and other marketing collateral. I could see that it would also be effective for a larger, enterprise marketing department. It is a bit pricey when your team grows, and at times our newer team members have struggled to learn the tool.

  • Downloaded vs printed quality might not always match here
  • Other than this I have found this application as the best in designing of slides or communication material

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.

Usability
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

Visme is one of the finest applications in terms of producing more engaging and effective designs, slides or infographics for the business very easily. Illustrator is much more complex and requires a lot of practice for becoming an expert. Whereas, Visme doesn't require technical expertise for this type of job. Visme always allows the company to create standard process policies in visual as it helps the employees to adhere to.

Return on Investment
  • 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
