Considered Both Products
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.
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.

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.

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.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Downloaded vs printed quality might not always match here

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.

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.
