There is a very small learning curve in comparison to other softwares, and a variety of great templates that make it easy to have beautiful presentations. I also love the collaborative aspect of slides, and have used it for many group presentations.

Pros: Truly the best platform to create a presentation that you'll be confident in! Its been so helpful to easily share it with colleagues who can offer me feedback and encouragement.

Cons: The themes can sometimes be a little limiting, but I am usually able to edit them to meet my preferences.

Overall: Very pleased and glad that I can save and use all of my presentations as resources later when needed.

Pros: It works essentially exactly like Powerpoint. Whatever you can do in Powerpoint, you can do in Slides and themed slides you find online for Powerpoint will also work in Slides too. Professionally, I usually went with Powerpoint, but during my college years I preferred Slides because I typically found it easier to use in group projects. You can also easily work in Slides and then switch over to Powerpoint if you need to do some offline work elsewhere.

Cons: Unlike Powerpoint, you'll need an internet connection to keep working. If your connection isn't good, be prepared for a lot of frustration if you don't have another similar program on hand. Like Sheets, I've had some times where it just froze for seemingly no reason, but this didn't happen enough to make it annoying or unusable.

Overall: Everything in Google and Microsoft's office suites are pretty reliable and can be interchangeable with each other if you keep track of your file types. Google Slides is a great, free replacement for Powerpoint if you don't want to pay for it and don't have access to an .edu email. I find students tend to prefer using the Google office suite products over Microsoft's, and when I was a student, this was the case for my peers as well. Students won't have to download anything and only need to be able to work a browser. Collaboration is easy, but you'll need a good internet connection while you work.

Pros: For making presentations, sharing with the team, group working etc can be done easily with google slides. It provide all the tools of Presentation slide with animations. All the slides will made easily and save on drive as well. Can be used from anywhere anytime.

Cons: On mobile application, the animation slightly buffering might be due to low ram usage or network strength. Menu bar shows icons only and full details not visible.

- Simple interface and beginner-friendly.

Cons: (-) Editing slides is easy on desktop presentation compared with Google slides

Overall: I am using Google Slides from the very start of the product. My main reason to use Google slides was that the desktop presentation application cannot handle large files and crashes so often in case of large data. Many people can work on the slides simultaneously because of online collaboration.

All of the content is saved to the drive and is easily accessible in any format like pdf, ppt, and so on. I would definitely recommend slides for a group of people where collaboration is the key.

Pros: I really appreciate how user friendly Google Slides is, it's very simple to learn how to use it as it guides you through the process step by step. It's also helpful having the search option if you can't find a specific function on your own. I like being able to share the project with others and leave notes with commentary for presentation purposes.

Cons: Some minor formatting options aren't as doable like automation but it's good.

Overall: I really like this program and use it for just about all my presentations whether for conferences or elsewhere.

Pros: The collaboration abilities of google slide are unparalleled. Powerpoint lets me get a little more detailed but it is a nightmare to share decks which is very important when working with a team.

Cons: not as many design features as I would like. could offer some more bells and whistles

Overall: Overall I'm a huge fan of google slides. Our business used to use powerpoint before I got here and i have transitioned us to google slides and it has saved a ton of back and fourth between design and management. It also made it a lot easier to quickly update and distribute documents without getting lost in old versions.
