Most importantly, is the fact that it is free of charge. > > **Cons**: Nothing, I love Google Slides and I would urge those who wish to use PowerPoint but can't afford one to resort to Google Slides. > > I am very happy about it, I do not have any complains at all. ----- ### "Easy to use and inexpensive." — 5.0/5 > **Ann** | *10 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to learn. 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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Easy to use and can access anywhere\!" — 4.0/5 > **Jason** | *03 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.za/software/178686/google-slides?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/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
