A great tool that makes our team more cohesive

What are the best aspects of this product?

My favorite feature of Google Slides is the same feature I've come to love with all of the online Google software associated with Google Drive (Docs, Sheets, etc). And that being it is a great tool that allows me or other users to share with others and edit them in real time. Everything is instantaneous so when one person makes changes, another can actively see what is being changed and be able to respond accordingly.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

It is a great software to generate slideshow content with a group online, but much of its final publishing capability is largely overshadowed by PowerPoint unfortunately. Firstly, PowerPoint simply has more to offer with regards to the editing features and settings. One example that comes to mind was when I was unable to find an efficient way to have different backgrounds on individual slides in Google Slides. I could only change the theme of the whole presentation in just a single instance.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

I used to have this huge logistical problem whenever I tried creating a group presentation. It is really challenging to know exactly what the other members of the group will be saying and how the pitch will flow until it is all brought together usually towards the end of creation. But once we were using the product in generating content in our presentations, all edits are now being tracked easily in real time. Now we not only get to know who did what, but also helps promote better cohesion in our team.
