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.

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 …

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 …

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!
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.
Microsoft Powerpoint Online
Chose Microsoft Powerpoint Online
Easier interface to parse through.
Chose Microsoft Powerpoint Online
In terms of overall performance (drive integration, media management, speed, collaboration) I think Microsoft Powerpoint Online is way behind Google Sheets or even FIGMA. General productiveness fell greatly after our company forced the usage of Microsoft Powerpoint Online, …
Chose Microsoft Powerpoint Online
Microsoft Power is still the easiest product due to it have matured over the years and integrates well with the rest of the other MS Office products. Also since the product is very popular sharing or working together on a slide deck is simplified.
Chose Microsoft Powerpoint Online
Powerpoint's ease of use makes it stand out.
You can build custom presentations easily, and even those without extensive skills can do this.
It makes it a good tool for a whole organization, rather than each team having its own tool.
Chose Microsoft Powerpoint Online
Microsoft PowerPoint Online may not have all features of the desktop version, but still it has some necessary tools and features which is why we use it. We also use the desktop version, and Google slides [another presentation tool which helps us store files to drive]. …
Chose Microsoft Powerpoint Online
I have used Prezi also in my last company along with Microsoft Powerpoint Online. But I feel that Prezi has also good features like designs, frames, themes etc but this tool is really complex to use as compared to Microsoft Powerpoint Online.
Chose Microsoft Powerpoint Online
So other than Microsoft Powerpoint Online we are using Google slides which is available with the google drive, Creating presentations with Microsoft Powerpoint Online is much more easy and less time consuming.
Chose Microsoft Powerpoint Online
I have used Canva and Google Slides and Powerpoint is any day better than them. Especially now Powerpoint is online too and hence Google slides is no more useful for us.
Chose Microsoft Powerpoint Online
Microsoft PowerPoint online (and its offline sister) are the industry standard for a reason. They have been around the longest, and most people are familiar with how to use them. The competitive software packages are all built on the same foundation as PowerPoint, but none of …
Chose Microsoft Powerpoint Online
The most similar online presentation I've found is google slides. PowerPoint online keeps more characteristics of the document (animations, text typography, etc.) when uploading from a desktop.
Chose Microsoft Powerpoint Online
It's far more compatible with existing PowerPoint presentations. Period. Nothing else compares.

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!).

Anyone who needs to use Microsoft PowerPoint collaboratively with team members in different locations would do well to let PowerPoint online take care of the dirty work. If you experience issues related to version control - and who doesn't? - this is a worthwhile investment. Plus, PowerPoint online is really the gold standard. Other online software suites do things similarly, but learning curves are eliminated altogether if you are collaborating with a team member who's already familiar with PowerPoint.

Pros
  • 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
  • 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.

  • Sometimes formatting is difficult. It is different than formatting in the application.
  • When creating shapes, the shape will not adjust and will be frozen if I want to make it bigger or smaller.
  • Sometimes certain fonts do not show up the same in the application vs online.

I would rather change to other tool if I could. Microsoft Powerpoint Online was top-down forced without a real technical (maybe financial only) reason, and I think the product itself looks like a poor adaptation of the offline version. In my experience, it cannot be properly used in real time collaboration, can't handle large media (images/videos), has low performance even for a single user, it is a nightmare.

Usability
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.

It works mostly well, but I usually run into a formatting glitch while using Microsoft PPT Online.

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.
