The templates that are provided are very good to be used as a starting point. > > **Cons**: At first it can be quite difficult to navigate and start creating presentations as there is a lot of options within PowerPoints User interface. So the learning curve is quite steep I believe > > Overall the experience has been very good. I’m at the stage in using it now where making presentations is easy and I save myself time in work by using PowerPoint to create presentations ----- ### "No other software compares to powerpoint and it is consistently reliable" — 5.0/5 > **niamh** | *9 March 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to make quality presentations in very little time. The 'Design' tool helps you tidy up the photos and words on your slides into a consistent professional looking layout. It can be used with or without wifi connection. You can write notes under each slide to read during a presentation > > **Cons**: Sometimes the formatting can be a bit confusing, like when you change something on the slide, it can move around the other diagrams, but that is more of a user issue opposed to a software issue, and once you understand how to use the formatting toolbox it's not an issue > > I am 31 and have used powerpoint since I was a child. It has helped in school presentations, university and work presentations. Other software companies have created similar products but nothing compares to powerpoint. It is reliable and can be integrated with other microsoft products like Word. It is always updating and implementing new features, I will never choose anything else\! ----- ### "Powerpoint needs AI" — 4.0/5 > **Ravi** | *13 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is an great app for explaining your project and pitching a new product or if you trying to explain a new thing. > > **Cons**: Powerpoint, I feel is not evolving with the time. I have not seen any AI integration in the powerpoint yet i think this is a big drawback. > > It is still a very useful even after the influx of so many other tools, sometimes I still feel that you need a good powerpoint deck for a demo or something. ----- ### "Microsoft PowerPoint Makes Learning, Teaching, and Presenting So Much Easier" — 5.0/5 > **Manpreet** | *2 July 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a physiotherapist, Microsoft PowerPoint has been an important tool throughout my professional journey. When I was preparing for my physiotherapy licensing exam after moving from India to Canada, I created presentations to summarize difficult topics, organize my notes, and revise more effectively. Breaking complex concepts into slides made studying much easier. I also use PowerPoint to create educational presentations and visual content related to physiotherapy. I like the wide variety of templates, icons, SmartArt, and animations that help make my presentations look professional without requiring any graphic design experience. The ability to add images, videos, and charts in one place makes it a very versatile tool. Even for personal use, I've created presentations for planning, organizing ideas, and sharing information with family. The interface is simple, and I can quickly turn ideas into polished presentations. Cons: What did you like least about Microsoft PowerPoint?The only drawback I've experienced is that presentations with many high-resolution images or videos can become quite large and occasionally run slower on older computers. I also wish there were more premium templates included with the standard version. Describe your overall experience with Microsoft PowerPointOverall, my experience with Microsoft PowerPoint has been excellent. It has supported me during my exam preparation, helped me create educational content as a physiotherapist, and made it easy to present information in a clear and engaging way. It's easy to learn, offers plenty of creative options, and continues to be one of the most useful Microsoft Office applications I use. I would highly recommend it to students, healthcare professionals, educators, and anyone who regularly creates presentations. > > **Cons**: The only drawback I've experienced is that presentations with many high-resolution images or videos can become quite large and occasionally run slower on older computers.

Overall, PowerPoint is easy to use and even beginners can create professional looking slides. The ability to customize each document and each individual slide to the suit the required content is endless and allows for business branding and consistency. For beginners, templates are helpful and ensure a slideshow remains professional and clean with minimal training. PowerPoint is the industry standard program therefore files are easy to share with clients and team members. Images, videos, graphs and charts can be easily incorporated with PowerPoint which ensures outside documents and sources can be easily shared during a presentation. > > **Cons**: PowerPoint is the industry standard which as a result can sometimes overused presentation styles. To ensure a PowerPoint stands out, often times advanced features are required; advanced features have quite a learning curve. In addition, advanced users often have to consider compatibility settings and issues, particularly when embedding videos or social media content. The largest downside to PowerPoint is the potential for technical issues during presentations, especially if not tested beforehand. > > PowerPoint is a user-friendly, versatile tool for creating professional presentations and has customization, templates, and multimedia options. It ensures easy sharing and brand consistency. However, mastering advanced features is challenging, compatibility issues can occur, and technical problems may occur during presentations if files are not carefully prepared. ----- Page: 1 / 836\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/141633/powerpoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/141633/powerpoint) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
