I recently tried to apply a new background to slides from a previous organization and it was very challenging to figure out how to do this. > > I still use this for presentations and training in my job as a Human Resources and Talent Acquisition professional. ----- ### "Versatility and a wide range of tools" — 5.0/5 > **Danielli** | *14 July 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about PowerPoint is its ease of use and the fact that it's part of the Microsoft Office suite. Even those without design experience can create presentations using basic or advanced tools with a clear, organized, and functional aesthetic. > > **Cons**: The lack of precision in measurements and scale. Although it is not a technical drawing software, using PowerPoint to support architectural project presentations is limited by the difficulty in maintaining alignment and consistent scale across slides. > > I use PowerPoint for various purposes, such as presentations, project boards, educational materials, flowcharts, and even content for social media, often replacing other, more specialized software due to the greater creative freedom it offers. Recent updates have introduced features that bring it closer to image and video editing programs. ----- ### "Happy PP user" — 4.0/5 > **TRISH** | *4 February 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Creative options to pull together a great slide deck. Easy to use. Customized templates options for organizations > > **Cons**: Would like more options easier slide deck preparation. More tool that utilize AI. More photo storage options > > Very solid product thats not to hard to master after consistent utilization. Merges well with other products ----- ### "\*\*A Reliable and Versatile Presentation Tool\*\*" — 4.0/5 > **Abhishek** | *4 February 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Microsoft PowerPoint is how quickly it lets you turn ideas into something visual and shareable. It’s flexible enough for everything > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Microsoft PowerPoint is that it can encourage cluttered, text-heavy slides if you’re not careful. It’s easy to overuse animations and transitions > > Overall, my experience with Microsoft PowerPoint has been largely positive and reliable. It’s a powerful, familiar tool that makes creating and presenting information straightforward, whether for school, work, or presentations to large audiences ----- ### "A Great Microsoft Product that is Beautiful out of the Box" — 5.0/5 > **Dale** | *8 July 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This product appeals to me because of the versatility. I have used it for worship slides, to lectures, to job presentations, even to teach how to build a nice-looking online classroom. It is easy to use and yet can do so much. > > **Cons**: Sometimes, Microsoft deletes things that I find easier than their replacement. For instance, some of their layouts have changed over time. I knew in the past where to put pictures and where to put text because of the layout option. They've changed that to be two text boxes. Minor issue, because you can still use one or both boxes for pictures or text. I just like the way it worked before. > > This is an excellent product. I've used other presentation software, including Google Present, but Powerpoint does the best, by far. Easy to use, easy to teach how to use, easy to operate. Great product. ----- Page: 1 / 834\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/397795/microsoft-powerpoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/397795/microsoft-powerpoint) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
