Review of PowerPoint Online
- Runs on a web browser
- Easy to use
- Has many good features such as animations and transitions
- Is platform independent due to running on a web browser
- Has an offline save feature in event you loose your internet connection, your can still continue working and changes will be saved once back online
- Saves presentations in the cloud thus accessible on any device, anywhere and anytime as long as you have an internet connection
- Limited printing features compared to desktop version
- Desktop version is abit more smoother than the online version
- Presenter view not available on online version
Microsoft Powerpoint Online Review
- Present Data
- Customize presentations
- Suggest design ideas for those it may not be a strength for
- Ease of use
- More features when it comes to chart formatting
- Easier to use templates
Presentations (both internal and external)
Finished data (to bring data together and showcase)
Educational settings (to teach an audience, showcase a new story)
Less appropriate:
Where a lot of changes still may happen (as it has so many design elements, sometimes collaboration is hard)
Where data changes often (I find it more useful when I have everything already built and can just plug it in)
Online Presentation Software
- Free to use [up to 5 GB cloud storage per person]
- No need to click the save button again and again when you make changes. Everything gets saved automatically to cloud [provided you have good network connection]
- Web browser based application
- A lot of features from the desktop version are still missing [such as more colours, gradients, eyedropper, effects, and styles]
- It currently does not support editing on password protected presentations
- Printing of slides is limited in PowerPoint online when compared to desktop version. It allows to print only one slide per page
- Cannot be used to make advanced presentations due to lack of features [no presenter view, grid and snapping tool and many more]
- Since I work in technical support, we use this tool everyday at the end of the shift to make the reports.
- This is one of the best tool and very simple to use.
- Since we received so many different severity tickets in my shift and we have to report it to the management and so this tool help a lot and show things clearly.
- This tool have so many templates and themes available which makes it very suitable as per the requirement.
- I love this tool and amazing to work on it. So many things to explore.
- Sometimes I feel it takes more time to open.
- Some functioning is difficult to use,.
- We need a little KT to use this tool
Review of Microsoft Powepoint Online
- The best part it you can create, share and maintain your presentations online
- You can access your presentations from anywhere at any time
- You can include flash files and video objects that will make your presentation even better
- You can customize your presentation according to your requirements if you don't want to use default templates
- With bulk of data and audio video objects your presentation will take too long to play
- You really need a good system configuration if you want to run updated version smoothly on your system
King of presentations - Microsoft Powerpoint Online
- Great presentation software it is with options of multi slide modes
- Multiple formats to save your presentation file in are available like pdf etc
- Multiple Font styles are available and also multiple effects
- Inserting objects like excel files etc doesnt work that great
- Can't add custom video based templates
The industry standard exists for a reason. Collaborate using the tool all the others try to emulate.
- Microsoft PowerPoint online allows for collaboration across offices and teams. That's a big deal and it resolves version control issues.
- Microsoft PowerPoint online lets us download a PowerPoint native presentation that is easily opened in the desktop version with minimal issues.
- The online version really does a good job of emulating the offline experience, so there's virtually no learning curve for new users.
- Running a presentation from PowerPoint online has been a disappointing experience. Things just don't react as smoothly as they do in the offline version because we're relying on sometimes iffy internet connections.
- Video does not play well when it's embedded and played through the online version.
- Downloading a PPT file that was created online creates almost no inconsistencies, but in my experience uploading a PPT to the online version that was created offline sometimes does create issues with fonts and formatting.
A very familiar face, but improved
- Sharing documents is easy and simple.
- Modifying anything on the go is way faster, even when you're not at home.
- If you're used to the software that it's installed on every Windows computer, you'll love it, as it's basically the same layout.
- the integration with Onedrive and other tools like Excel, Outlook, Teams, Word, etc. is very useful to move around quickly.
- Handling large documents might not be as efficient, not sure if this is based on the current load of the computer I'm working with, but sometimes we have to take a moment (around 20 seconds) to load the entire file.
- Easy collaboration.
- Easy sharing.
- Better control over read/write rights.
- No need to install desktop app .This saves a lot of effort.
- Can work on Microsoft Powerpoint from anywhere, any machine.
- Feeling slowness in online version sometime.
- Microsoft PowerPoint is having lots of features, this creates confusion sometimes.
- Sharing
- Being as exact as possible to the desktop versions
- Transitions and presentation
- The limitation of webfonts make it hard to include every font
- Some animations are not the same (as desktop)
All Online (With Less Features)
- Platform-independent. Can be used on PC, Mac, or even on mobile computing
- Cloud application, meaning that no local storage is required to build a presentation
- Intuitive interface, similar to the MS Office suite
- Several of the functions that people are used to in Windows or Mac are not available
- Feels a bit clunky - slower to insert pictures
- Formatting was more difficult than the OS apps.
