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. ----- ### "Ideal for fast presentations to clients" — 4.0/5 > **Yasser** | *11 June 2026* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really appreciate the ability to easily customize the templates to fit our brand's style. As a designer, it's nice to have the ability to choose colors and fonts and not get into reinventing the wheel. Great quizzes to help me out when I want to do our newest apparel designs in a neat pitch. Also liked being able to embed short videos within slides without needing additional software. > > **Cons**: At times the tool is a bit tricky if you are working with bigger files, which contain several images. It has also crashed randomly at times which can be annoying during a tight deadline. I'd like more flexibility in the video editing, especially if I want to cut and arrange things, for teasers about a video for social media. It is functional, but definitely could use some enhancements. > > Microsoft PowerPoint is a tried and tested solution for presentation when one has to create something quickly like pitching an idea to the client or presenting some design ideas to internal persons. It’s great for someone like us who is not as advanced and knows more about using design software. The templates will save time but I wish there were more fashion-specific templates. It may be due for some improvements in the performance of the media-rich projects. ----- ### "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 must have for your student life" — 5.0/5 > **Milagros** | *25 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a student, PowerPoint was a part of each and every one of my presentations and oral reports. I truly loved how intuitive the program becomes over time, and how quickly you can learn to use it. I can say that, even after graduating, PowerPoint continues to be a part of my life—specifically for informational presentations displayed in the waiting area of ​​my business. > > **Cons**: I currently have no complaints about the program. I might say that the licensing fee can be a bit of a hassle at times, but as a student, I was sometimes able to find programs that helped cover the membership for a full year. Now, with modern technology and AI, the application might see less use—but there is nothing quite like doing things yourself. 100% recommended. > > My overall experience has been very positive. I have been using it for years, and I really like how it has adapted over time and to the changes of daily life. ----- ### "PowerPoint Review" — 4.0/5 > **Will** | *14 May 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked how easy it is to create professional presentations with templates, graphics, and animations. It’s simple to use and works well for both quick presentations and more detailed projects. > > **Cons**: Some advanced design features can take time to learn, and large presentations with lots of media can sometimes run slowly. > > Overall, my experience with Microsoft PowerPoint has been very positive. It’s reliable, user-friendly, and makes it easy to create organized and visually appealing presentations for work, school, or meetings. ----- Page: 1 / 836\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/397795/microsoft-powerpoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/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
