## Reviews

### "Consistent PowerPoint Presentations" — 5.0/5

> **Paula** | *20 March 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The layout tools, design checks, and shared library make it easy to create polished presentations quickly. I don’t have to worry about slides looking messy or off-brand. It is also great for team collaboration - everyone uses the same templates and assets, so there’s no confusion or outdated slides floating around. The ability to automate updates across slides is a huge plus.&#10;&#10;If something goes wrong, the support team is quick, helpful, and patient. They even record troubleshooting videos, which saves time when similar issues pop up later.
> 
> **Cons**: I find it intuitive, but some colleagues struggle with certain features. A proper onboarding might help, but with busy schedules, that’s not always easy.
> 
> I’ve been using empower for two years, and it’s made a huge difference in how my team creates presentations. It helps with design, layout, and template management, making sure everything stays on-brand and consistent across our team. If you create PowerPoint presentations regularly, empower is a great tool.  It’s made my workflow faster and smoother, and I’d definitely recommend it. Given how much time it saves and the quality it ensures, I think it’s a solid investment.

### "Empower Charts | Review" — 5.0/5

> **Vignesh** | *24 November 2025* | Railroad Manufacture | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use | Support from team if in any need is appropriate, precise | Auto renewal option is working well.
> 
> **Cons**: Migration of existing charts from old file (made with old version) to current version takes time. The migration shouldn't take much time.&#10;Can have floating license for use between team (even for single use) to promote usage.
> 
> Good | can be recommended to office team members &#10;Floating license/ trial version access if offered, should make experience best.

### "Empower will kill your productivity" — 1.0/5

> **Christian** | *23 January 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Some of the features are a little easier to manipulate than the default PowerPoint features. Looks pretty professional at the end.
> 
> **Cons**: It’s the buggiest, slowest, most aggravating thing to ever happen to PowerPoint. In fact, I’m typing this in between clicks while working in empower. If I open up a chart and manipulate data, half the time it completely crashes PowerPoint and I lose all my work. The other half of the time it takes upwards of a minute in between clicks for PowerPoint to catch up. At this point, I would seriously consider empower to be malware. This is no hyperbole. This has been a common theme despite multiple updates over the last 2 years.
> 
> Terrible. I’m not really sure how there are this many positive reviews. Terrible software that my company forces me to use. Please fix this.

### "A solid tool for Powerpointing" — 4.0/5

> **David** | *24 November 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great charts. Simple side bar to navigate a wide range of formatting options without having to search through menus.  Access to a wide range of icons and images. Excellent charting tools
> 
> **Cons**: Can slow down Powerpoint after a while.  I find I have to restart Powerpoint after a couple of hours of use.
> 
> Very good.  I use it on a wide variety of presentations.  I particularly like the slide library function, to store and re-use slides

### "Empower review" — 4.0/5

> **Jarrad** | *25 November 2025* | Executive Office | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Overall, the software performs as expected. It offers useful, easy-to-use functionality for charts, particularly Gantt charts, which are valuable for project management. Empower also provides a convenient and intuitive PowerPoint plug-in that streamlines slide creation and formatting.
> 
> **Cons**: The main drawback is that it can slow PowerPoint’s performance. Additionally, if the empower plug-in is uninstalled or the service drops out for any reason, I’m unable to update or modify any charts previously created through empower within PowerPoint.
> 
> Overall, empower has been a smooth and efficient addition to PowerPoint, offering great functionality and fair value.
