It's able to import PowerPoint documents and make them workable in Google slides. > > **Cons**: It's similar to PowerPoint but could have some better features that I hope will get added in the future. > > Overall, it's a good program, I use it regularly and although it's not PowerPoint, it's pretty close and get the job done. ----- ### "Google Slides is good but could be amazing with a few tweaks" — 4.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *27 November 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that Google Slides is free and easy to use. Power Point has more features, but Google Slides is the way that schools are heading and many of my Power Points can be opened in Google Slides. > > **Cons**: I feel like the sound component does not transfer from PowerPoint to Google Slides well. It is a piece that is missing. > > My overall experience with Google Slides is good. I enjoy using it, but do believe that there could be more features like slide transitions and visuals choices. ----- ### "Great free alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 September 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: This product is free to use and has many similar features to PowerPoint which is nice for those switching from Microsoft products. Great templates that help to elevate the presentations and many customizable features. Easy to download as pdf and can be used for team collaboration is using an online version. > > **Cons**: Not quite as seamless as power point when it comes to formatting. The way that the tool bar constantly collapses is frustrating because you have to keep popping it back open in order to make edits. I would say Google Slides isn't as highly respected as PowerPoint in the corporate world but you can get around that by downloading as a pdf. > > Overall I have had a good experience with slides. It's a little tricky if you use both slides and PowerPoint because of their slight differences but once you pass the learning curve it's not too bad. It is nice that this is free - where as PowerPoint is a paid product. I also like that you can customize the share feature to control who can edit vs who can view. ----- ### "Google slide review" — 4.0/5 > **Marcos** | *11 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, PowerPoint is more “clunky” it does not flow as well as Google slides. Maybe is a visual or aesthetic. > > **Cons**: I think it should open up more premade slides. I’m in Emergency management and that field has yet to be covered. I think it would be beneficial for the future. > > Overall it is great and I definitely prefer it over power point. It’s smoother and i definitely took to it more “naturally” than I did power point. ----- ### "Easy to use and can access anywhere\!" — 4.0/5 > **Jason** | *3 January 2026* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform is very easy to use, and our city has adopted Google as its official platform. I also like that I can access it and make changes in a variety of ways, while also providing edit access to other users. > > **Cons**: The program does have some limitations feature wise in comparison to Microsoft PowerPoint. Specifically, PowerPoint has adopted artificial intelligence features. > > I use it on a weekly basis. I create a ton of slide presentations and like that I don’t have to save the slides to a thumb drive. I just need to login and open the presentation. Also, like that, I can pull a sly presentation up on my phone for review and preparation. ----- Page: 1 / 261\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/178686/google-slides?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/178686/google-slides) ## 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 | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
