Developed by Power-user SAS, a French independent software company founded in 2015, it adds over 100 features directly into the Office ribbon and runs exclusively on Windows. The add-in targets organizations where presentation and reporting quality directly impacts business outcomes: management consulting firms, investment banks, corporate finance and strategy teams, pharmaceutical companies, energy firms and luxury goods groups. Over 100,000 active users across organizations including Deloitte, EY, Stifel, Richemont, Cartier, Galderma, Baker Tilly, Fortum and Syneos Health rely on Power-user daily. Formatting and productivity tools The core toolbar consolidates alignment, distribution, resizing, rotation and shape manipulation into a single panel, eliminating the need to navigate multiple Office menus. The Smart Painter extends the native format painter with the ability to selectively reapply format, size or position independently across multiple shapes. Custom keyboard shortcuts can be assigned to any Power-user or native Office command. Content library A centralized, customizable library embedded in the Office ribbon gives users instant access to 1,000 professionally designed slide templates, 10,000 vector icons and country flags, 350 editable maps, millions of stock pictures and company logos, and AI-generated images. Enterprise customers can populate the library with proprietary branded content (corporate templates, CVs, credentials, financial model templates) accessible to all users across the organization. Advanced data visualization Power-user includes over 100 chart types unavailable natively in PowerPoint or Excel, covering the full range of charts used in management consulting and financial reporting: Mekko, Waterfall, Gantt, Sankey, Tornado, Dumbbell, Bridge and more. Maps can be connected directly to Excel data for automatic updates. Reporting automation A robust Excel-to-PowerPoint linking engine allows charts, tables and text boxes to be connected to live Excel data. Entire reports can be refreshed in a single click when underlying data changes, eliminating manual copy-paste updates. Presentation consistency The Cleaner scans an entire presentation and automatically corrects formatting inconsistencies including mixed fonts, off-brand colors, misaligned titles, inconsistent bullet styles and missing footers — ensuring every deliverable meets brand standards before it leaves the team. Template and brand governance IT and design teams can centrally deploy and enforce corporate templates across PowerPoint, Excel and Word for all users in the organization. Table styles in Excel can be standardized at the company level. Agenda and navigation Tables of contents, section dividers and breadcrumb navigation are generated and updated automatically based on slide titles, with no manual maintenance required. Business development credentials The Tombstones module allows consulting and advisory firms to maintain a searchable database of deal credentials and case studies, instantly formatted as branded PowerPoint slides for insertion into proposals. AI Assistant An integrated AI layer handles text operations directly within Office: translation across languages, rephrasing, tone adjustment, conversion to bullet points, and grammar and spelling correction. Power-user is listed on both Microsoft AppSource and Azure Marketplace. Individual installation requires no administrator rights. Pricing is €240 per user per year, billed annually. The platform maintains a 97% annual renewal rate, a Net Promoter Score of 96, and an average support response time of under 5 hours. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 104 users.

The list of additional functionalities is really good and it keeps expanding all the time. > > **Cons**: Like excel, there are plenty of advanced functionalities that can make your life easier. Unlike excel, there are not many online manuals that explain you how to do that. I dedicate a bit of time to learn about what everything does so I keep improving my productivity. > > The times I have contacted the Power-user the response has been very good. The tool works very well and it has become my de-facto default tab for PowerPoint. It is not cheap but I have not found alternatives at that price range. Good value for money. ----- ### "Great tool to improve your work" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 August 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Changing the fonts in presentaion Removing not needed spaces Additional icons Changing the language of presentation > > **Cons**: To be honest, I did not find one at the moment. > > I am preparing presentations for my lectures and paper presentations at conferences. Having Power-user enables me to make it I want. ----- ### "It should consist more diagrams and facilities of using text." — 3.0/5 > **Nigar Sultana** | *23 June 2023* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sankey charts is an amazing tool for representing data > > **Cons**: Text are not included for charts. Missing data labels > > Not bad ----- ### "An Indispensable PowerPoint Add-In" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *27 July 2020* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Power-user does what PowerPoint should, but doesn't. Swap Places lets you easily swap in new icons or change the order of elements without having to redistribute. Touch Align lets you put two objects right next to each other. Clean lets you clear out ghost boxes, speaker notes, and double spaces across all slides. The pipette is like format painter, but with the control to only "paint" certain elements of the format. The expanded icon library picks up where PowerPoint's library leaves off. It also has integrated ribbon with the most frequently used PowerPoint functions. > > **Cons**: The Replace Color function holds promise, but is glitchy, especially in a large presentation with lots of colors > > As a trainer and coach in presentation design, I couldn't function without Power-user. I recommend it to my clients. ----- ### "Microsoft office on steroids" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 September 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It makes working on Microsoft office so easy and convenient. Feels like a breeze. Maybe Microsoft can learn from them and include these features in future versions. > > **Cons**: Takes a while to get used to it. Some of the features are hidden behind small icons. > > I can do my work much faster with the help of this. I would definitely recommend it. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/365631/power-user?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/365631/power-user) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
