    Chose Microsoft Powerpoint
    Canva: The animations and effects are very limited and hard to customize unless you are a Canva Expert. Too many of the items are only available to premium subscribers (which can be highly frustrating). Some of the stock images, icons, etc., will be copied to your …

    Chose Microsoft Powerpoint
    Prezi delivers a great presentation but takes more user understanding and commitment. Prezi is great for one presentations which involve just me. Powerpoint allows me to share globally and allow others to leverage template.

    Chose Microsoft Powerpoint
    While Prezi does have some features that Microsoft PowerPoint lacks, or are not typically used due to being more complicated than it should, Microsoft PowerPoint is more reliable and, more importantly, the staff is used to the layout and generally is more familiar with …

    Chose Microsoft Powerpoint
    Prezi is a nice product, but just not popular enough at this point. With all our clients using Microsoft PowerPoint, we really don't have any choice as to what software we use. Microsoft really has a corner on this market.

    Chose Microsoft Powerpoint
    I think Microsoft PowerPoint is significantly better than other programs I have used, such as Google Slides or Prezi. It's straightforward, easy, not overloaded with design, which you can pick your own. Functionalities make sense and have just enough flexibility to avoid …

    Chose Microsoft Powerpoint
    I was amazed [by] Prezi's concept and we used it for a while. But it became complicated to share, edit and use compared with Powerpoint. Besides, Powerpoint included a feature that looked like zooming [which] was the main advantage of Prezi.

    Chose Microsoft Powerpoint
    For me, collaboration is very important and I give full marks to Microsoft PowerPoint. I have used Prezi but it doesn't make me feel in control of the presentation that I'm making. A simple interface, like that of Microsoft PowerPoint, helps the user feel more aligned with …

    Prezi is simply more dynamic and allows for more interesting and professional presentations. It is more challenging to navigate.

    Chose Microsoft Powerpoint
    Microsoft Powerpoint is the easiest presentation software to use. It has been around for so long that most people who use it today have been using it since they were in grade school. The animations, graphics, and slide options are far ahead those of their competitors.

    Chose Microsoft Powerpoint
    I used PowerPoint for 3 years and I like it because it has a lot of features to organize a slide show. And we can combine text, graphics, multimedia to make a presentation. In PowerPoint presentations you can reduce the paragraph size in bullet points. I mainly use it to make …

    Chose Microsoft Powerpoint
    It is the most common one. I used it since I am a child. And it’s such a big player so also all colleagues and people are using it which makes support easier. Also I am watching a lot of Microsoft Powerpoint support videos on Instagram how to improve presentation skills and …

    Prezi Inc.
    Chose Prezi
    Microsoft Powerpoint has been excellent as a platform to create slides, but over time, users have wanted something more striking and motivating that helps transmit the information so that the public captures and likes what they see. So, Prezi has been one of the best options …

    More options for designs and transitions.
    More visual aids available.

    Chose Prezi
    We all know Powerpoint, and we know that it is a good and practical tool, but that it does not adapt to new times or new demands. With Prezi, you can perform the same tasks as with PPT and go further, to generate fun and moving presentations that are more attractive to others. …

    Chose Prezi
    In particular, visually I like Prezi much more, because it is more dynamic and modern. PowerPoint, being so linear, often makes it very boring to watch. And while PPT has some advantages, such as simplicity, that everyone knows about it and that you can transform your files …

    Chose Prezi
    This is a presentation tool similar to PowerPoint and Google Slides. I like how it feels more interactive because it allows for more logical sequencing and acknowledgment of the bigger picture. I am a middle school social studies teacher and I use and I have my student use it …

    Chose Prezi
    Prezi is more animated with a greater amount of detailed movement. That movement has been reported to me by students and fellow teachers to be disorienting at times so I have to be judicious when adding them in and how to use them to highlight information in the presentation.
    Incentivized
    Chose Prezi
    Prezi has been the best option since the way in which the information can be transmitted is more intuitive to the rest of the presentation software. Prezi shows me that with simplicity we can achieve a lot and that in addition we should not only see the slides from a single …

    Chose Prezi
    Prezi is just overall cleaner and has a better brand image. Google slides and drive isn't as easy for everyone to share and access. Powerpoint is just super old school. Canva requires a lot more graphic making. Prezi is easier to use all around and is much easier to share …

    Prezi is so much better for students when showing information, but it can be harder/slower to set up.

    Chose Prezi
    As mentioned before, when it comes to presentations, there are times when Powerpoint is better to use vs. Prezi. It depends on the situation and what you plan to do with it. Generally speaking, if you are looking for a quick self-guided presentation that is media-rich, I …

    Chose Prezi
    Powerpoint is the classic one that everyone knows and I believe Prezi's main challenger. Powerpoint is well known, but it can be a bit boring for people. I think it may be best for adults or business meetings but for me when I work with kids, they need something that is not as …

    Chose Prezi
    Powerpoint is tried and true and also a great program, don't get me wrong.

    I think Prezi is better when used online to collaborate with others but once you get the hang of both, it comes down to matter of personal preference of style and design, in my opinion.
