Works similarly to PowerPoint, so not much of a learning curve. The Google Suite offers an array of programs for low cost. > > **Cons**: I can't think of any drawbacks to using the program. I have never had an issue that required extra support. > > I enjoy using Google Slides when partnering with other Team Members on projects so we can edit in real time to complete a project. ----- ### "Go Google Slides" — 5.0/5 > **Portia** | *29 March 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love google slides and it's integration with too many tools is additional bonus. I liked the designing part and AI integration the best. > > **Cons**: One of the cons is is hard to design each slide with different sizes. Many softwares don't have this feature. > > I totally love this tool and used it a lot so far. I am a vivid fan of Google slides for is animation and AI features. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Straight Forward, Easy-to-use\!" — 4.0/5 > **Cate** | *14 April 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy collaboration: Multiple people can edit in real time, which makes group projects much smoother. Cloud-based access: You can open and edit presentations from any device without needing to install anything. > > **Cons**: Formatting inconsistencies: Slides may look slightly different when opened in other programs like PowerPoint. Dependency on Google account: You need to be signed in to access and edit files easily. > > It’s an easy-to-use, reliable tool that makes creating presentations straightforward, even for beginners. The real-time collaboration feature stands out the most, since it allows multiple people to work on the same presentation at once without confusion. ----- ### "Cloud based presentation software with real-time collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 March 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Free to use for anyone with a Google account and it's cloud based and accessible from any device with a browser - no installation needed. Super easy to use with a large library of templates if you're not yet comfortable creating your own presentations from scratch. > > **Cons**: It's cloud based with a convenient but it does mean that it needs an internet connection to work as intended. Also when compared to the Microsoft option there are less advanced animations and transitions. > > I love it. It's light and easy to use, very short learning curve which makes it very duplicatable across the team. ----- 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
