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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "You cannot go wrong with google slides\!" — 5.0/5 > **Tiffany** | *19 August 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how Google Slides is connected to your Google account and completely free to use. It’s a great alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint and is easy to access on a MacBook or any other computer. Everything is stored in one place, so you can simply sign into your Google account on another device and have access to your presentations without having to transfer files. > > **Cons**: You get the best experience with an internet connection, although you can use it offline as well. Some of the more advanced features and customization options are a bit limited but overall it gets the job done\! > > Google Slides is an excellent value for money especially because it’s free and still offers everything I need for creating professional-looking presentations. It’s very easy to use, with a good selection of templates and enough customization options to make presentations look polished and professional. Customer support and Google’s help resources are helpful when you need assistance, and I haven’t experienced any major bugs or issues. Since it’s connected to my Google account, I can easily access my presentations from different devices, share them with others, collaborate when needed, and quickly email them. Overall, it’s been a smooth and convenient experience, and I would definitely recommend it for both personal and professional use. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Simple and Effective Tool for Collaborative Presentations" — 5.0/5 > **Brooks** | *13 June 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Google Slides is its strong ease of use, making it simple to create and edit presentations from any device. It also offers great customization, templates, collaboration tools, allowing multiple people to work on the same presentation in real time, which makes group projects much easier. Makes things easy for professional use. > > **Cons**: I have never had any issues with Google Slides. Minor bugs and easy to fix. Very reliable software\!\! > > Google Slides provides a smooth and reliable experience for creating presentations. Its ease of use makes it simple to design slides quickly, even for beginners, and its strong collaboration tools allow multiple users to work together in real time without confusion. It also performs well online with easy access from any device, making it convenient for both school and work projects. ----- 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
