I recently tried to apply a new background to slides from a previous organization and it was very challenging to figure out how to do this. > > I still use this for presentations and training in my job as a Human Resources and Talent Acquisition professional. ----- ### "PowerPoint Review" — 4.0/5 > **Will** | *14 May 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked how easy it is to create professional presentations with templates, graphics, and animations. It’s simple to use and works well for both quick presentations and more detailed projects. > > **Cons**: Some advanced design features can take time to learn, and large presentations with lots of media can sometimes run slowly. > > Overall, my experience with Microsoft PowerPoint has been very positive. It’s reliable, user-friendly, and makes it easy to create organized and visually appealing presentations for work, school, or meetings. ----- ### "Happy PP user" — 4.0/5 > **TRISH** | *4 February 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Creative options to pull together a great slide deck. Easy to use. Customized templates options for organizations > > **Cons**: Would like more options easier slide deck preparation. More tool that utilize AI. More photo storage options > > Very solid product thats not to hard to master after consistent utilization. Merges well with other products ----- ### "\*\*A Reliable and Versatile Presentation Tool\*\*" — 4.0/5 > **Abhishek** | *4 February 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Microsoft PowerPoint is how quickly it lets you turn ideas into something visual and shareable. It’s flexible enough for everything > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Microsoft PowerPoint is that it can encourage cluttered, text-heavy slides if you’re not careful. It’s easy to overuse animations and transitions > > Overall, my experience with Microsoft PowerPoint has been largely positive and reliable. It’s a powerful, familiar tool that makes creating and presenting information straightforward, whether for school, work, or presentations to large audiences ----- ### "Still the golden standard for presentations, but the AI could be better" — 4.0/5 > **Martina** | *15 May 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: PowerPoint is still the standard for creating slide presentations. It’s reliable, widely recognised and easy to share across teams, clients and businesses. I like that it gives you a lot of control over layout, branding, formatting and presentation flow. The Microsoft 365 integration is also a big advantage, especially when working with Teams, Outlook, Word and Excel > > **Cons**: The AI features could be better. Copilot can help with outlines, slide drafts, edits and summaries, but other presentation tools already feel more advanced and easier for AI-led slide creation. PowerPoint’s AI support is useful, but it doesn’t yet feel as natural or creative as it could be > > My overall experience with PowerPoint has been really good. It’s still the tool I’d trust most for professional presentations because it’s familiar, flexible and accepted almost everywhere. The core product is really good, but the AI integrations feel like they’re still catching up. For now, PowerPoint remains the golden standard for slides, with room to improve on AI-assisted creation. ----- Page: 1 / 835\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/397795/microsoft-powerpoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/397795/microsoft-powerpoint) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
