PowerPoint is a customizable and animated presentation software by Microsoft and is bundled together with other Office 365 applications. It can be used for personal reasons, for academic and business presentations.
PowerPoint 2016 comes with pre-made presentation templates and color schemes. They are customizable to fit a user’s preferences and together with custom themes, can support slide and object animations and sound effects, images and graphics, and built-in presentation notes.
With PowerPoint 2016, individuals have the power to make a sleek, professional presentation or a personalized, engaging presentation. These files are then automatically synced into the OneDrive cloud storage, where it can be easily accessed and shared with a user’s teammates or colleagues.
Show MoreOn-Premise & Mobile
PowerPoint 2016 is mainly used on PCs and Macs but it also has native mobile apps for Android, iOS, and Windows phone and tablet users. This makes the software portable yet still functional and powerful and enables users to create presentations and rehearse using them before they appear in front of an audience.
Customizable Slides
PowerPoint 2016 comes with templates with preset color schemes. But this should not stop users from customizing them or creating their own themes. On top of that, they can make their slides more engaging to further captivate their audience by adding animations and sounds, pre-recorded narrations, and more.
Emphasized Points
With PowerPoint 2016, presenters can highlight important points during their talk. They can do this via the application’s zoom feature, which lets them zoom in and zoom out on a section of the slide and makes their presentations more fun.
Focused Presentation
With PowerPoint 2016, users can talk in front of an audience with confidence. The application shows the slides on the public screen while the user is able to view their notes and the upcoming slide on their own computer or device.
Shared Projects
PowerPoint 2016 files can be saved on a user’s OneDrive account. This makes them accessible anytime to the user and also lets them share their presentations with their colleagues through the cloud by sending them links. On top of that, this lets them work together on a presentation via PowerPoint online.
Show MoreKnowing that businesses have distinctive business demands, it is only wise that they avoid paying for an all-in-one, “perfect” software product. Still, it is troublesome to try to stumble on such application even among branded software products. The practical thing to do can be to set down the various important factors that need examination such as crucial features, budget, skill levels of staff members, company size, etc. The second step is, you must perform the product research thoroughly. Browse over some PowerPoint evaluations and explore each of the software products in your list more closely. Such comprehensive product investigation ensures you keep away from unsuitable apps and subscribe to the one that offers all the function your business requires.

PowerPoint is one of the top 20 Collaboration Software products
If you are interested in PowerPoint it could also be sensible to investigate other subcategories of Collaboration Software gathered in our database of SaaS software reviews.
It is crucial to note that almost no service in the Collaboration Software category will be a perfect solution able to fulfill all the requirements of various business types, sizes and industries. It may be a good idea to read a few PowerPoint Collaboration Software reviews first as certain services might perform well exclusively in a really small set of applications or be created with a really specific industry in mind. Others can function with an idea of being simple and intuitive and as a result lack complicated functionalities welcomed by more experienced users. There are also solutions that cater to a broad group of customers and give you a powerful feature set, but that usually comes at a more expensive price of such a software. Make sure you're aware of your requirements so that you buy a software that provides exactly the elements you search for.

ADD A REVIEWThe most favorable review
PROS: There are lot of things that I like about Power Point, starting from the animations, an easy way to transfer tables from Excel, ability to upload photos and shape tools. I like that when I enter a text it automatically changes size so it can fit inside the text box.
CONS: I don’t like that when I want to copy/paste photos from net it only pastes URL address and then I have to save the photo and upload it into PP. In addition, when I try to zoom in close and try to scroll up/down it goes to the next slide. Also, it would be great if they could add even more templates.

In fact, all functions are grouped in a simple way in their different menus. 4.- Its price-value relationship is fair and it also comes with a complete office package where other tools come that can not be missing in any company.

PROS: I’ve been using PowerPoint for more than 15 years, and I have seen great improvements since the beginning. I have to say that the latest version of this program includes Design Ideas. I like that those designs follow similar principles to SmartArt Graphics. You can make the presentations even more effective and more professional-looking. Its image editing tool makes it easier to crop, colorize and adjust brightness to the images.
CONS: IN my opinion, newbies may need some time in order to learn this product. In addition, this program offers traditional slide format for presentations but other software similar to this one use a canvas approach, I really like canvas approach.

CONS: There is no way to customize the UI. Some of its standard functions do not meet user needs. Also, some of its animations and effects are annoying. IN addition, not all transitions have options that allow you to make some changes.

PROS: It is easy to use and it allows you to make professional presentation so you can present various types of articles or even research reports. I’m using it daily. I can line things up and snap items into place and to create personalized master slides for every type of project, company or group.
CONS: I cannot easily put things in as a sub or super script, I don’t like that I have to highlight and right click so I can get to font, it is bit time-consuming. Also, when showing arrows or when making some connection it will go to the red dot of a corner without my permission. I’m not sure whether I can find some options so I can manipulate things.

It has great set of slide transitions so you can make your presentations good-looking. You can easily save the presentation and email it to everyone. You can easily insert hyperlinks within the presentation.

PROS: I like the Idea that PowerPoint shows up into animation department, I’m using another software along with PowerPoint but I have to say that this one is used by everyone in my company. They know they can easily create presentations by using PowerPoint, it is familiar tool to everyone. There is even an option to buy a license or to pay monthly.
CONS: I don’t like the interface! I have to go around in order to find things. I’ve been using PP for long but I still struggle when trying to find some tools/options. In addition, there is no way to embed fonts on a Mac therefore I have to email my clients so I can send them links that is used within the presentation. It needs some improvements.

The presentations are easily done, you can share them with colleagues and they can even make some changes on the go without the need of recreating the presentation again.
CONS: This tool is used by everyone, but I have seen that lot of people try to learn how to use the animations and sounds that are within the program. But I believe that if you use some of its features you may create greta presentations.
