Very Satisfying. I've still been using it since, more than 15 years since. So, I would still highly recommend MS PowerPoint even to my young kids. It is still able to do the job - efficiently.
Pros
- Ever since I've been using MS PP even in my high-school years. And so far, it is still my chosen tool for presentation purposes.- Audio and Video integration is a breeze. I have lots of fun tweaking this feature since I've used it.- Slides has just gotten robust over time. Now, you can insert images and other media files from the online repository - not available years and years ago.- User friendliness, is out of the question. Though, I advise you not to be lazy in learning things. On it's own, it's already easy to use. - It has other media integration too. Such as quizzes from Articulate 360 or Captivate.
Cons
- Bugs and glitches. Happens occasionally that ruins the ride.- Compiled files that needs to be presented outside of the home pc gets corrupted and non-operational. So, my suggestion, always bring with you the native files as much as possible.- Some of the templates might be boring for some, as it has not been revamped cohesively. You might need to squeeze-in some creative juices in some of your presentation projects.

KeynoteReasons for Switching to Microsoft PowerPoint
It is able to do everything we need - presentation-wise. We could have used Keynote, but you need the whole operating system for that. Secondly, MSPPT has been around during my younger years. So, yes it's the first option even within the circle of us digital nomads.

With PowerPoint, I was able to achieve and complete more projects about Solar Battery and Inverter Projects, it facilitates my work to insert more information with statistics correctly.
Pros
On PowerPoint, I can make some fun and pizzazz to my slides easier, it has a series of new graphs that facilities the representation, it's possible to establish a Youtube Video in PowerPoint Project and insert a Functioning Excel Worksheet into a Presentation, also I can convert a bulleted list to a layout (SmartArt). It's a creative tool.
Cons
Sometimes when we want to send a file, there is a risk to will be damaged by a virus.
It is a project that has more presentation that distracts people by the number of movements and does not care or pay attention to the information that is being shared.

Microsoft PowerPoint has truly helped me excel with the visual interpretation of my school's curriculum whether I was creating content or on the receiving end of understanding other people's work. As with all other Microsoft applications, this software did not disappoint me because it was created for beginners, intermediates like myself, and advanced users to bring the same message across on a powerpoint presentation. It's truly a software I would recommend to anyone!
Pros
As an intermediate editor, having the content I want to present to others seamlessly transition from one thing to another is great. Microsoft PowerPoint's wide array of transitions from fades to slides really makes me enjoy this software a whole lot.
Cons
I had a big problem with the powerpoints being compatible on all of my devices. One issue in particular was when I had to create a presentation on my tablet and when it was time for me to display my group's work using a projector, the content at the bottom of every slide was not visible despite being able to see it during the creation and preview stages of the presentation on both my tablet and PC.

Simple Presentation tool for Marketers

My overall experience with PowerPoint software has been satisfactory because net ROI was positive. The key business problem I was able to solve for my marketing team: drive higher investment from CPG vendors into marketing their products and brands through our marketing campaigns. By showing those vendors positive lift in customer engagement, carts and cases of items they purchased which were attributable to the targeted campaigns we did by using email, social, search and online ordering tactics.
Pros
I use Microsoft PowerPoint tool to create analytics presentations containing marketing campaign data. I try to show a visual story using funnel KPIs such as ad impressions, clicks, sessions, item detail views, cart additions and conversions. My goal is to show the stakeholders that my marketing team was successful in driving customers into the funnel which eventually resulted in higher cart adds and product sales. I am able to easily take screenshots of tables and charts from my Excel files, paste them into PowerPoint slides and edit the font or format within each slide. I am also able to create charts directly inside the slides, by referring to Excel data source. These two features help me create effective presentations and drive high ROI for my marketing team. Because after seeing my analytics slides, vendors renew their contracts.
Cons
I face couple of challenges when creating presentations using Microsoft PowerPoint. Firstly, if the number of slides is high, my laptop slows down because PowerPoint tends to consume lots of RAM. In some cases, my laptop crashed and I lost unsaved files or notes. Secondly, PowerPoint presentations are not very collaborative like Google Slides. Unless I am using Office 360 version of PowerPoint, most of my presentation files are saved in local drive which my colleagues have tough time editing. So, low ROI here.

Was one the only software, not anymore!

It has been pretty common, nothing out of the ordinary.
It has been pretty common, nothing out of the ordinary.
Pros
It is the most widely prevalent software, everyone knows how to use it, export it and the best part it you can use it on any platform: windows, mac etc. You will never run into a problem.
Cons
It was once the only software in the market, had kind of complete monopoly. But now with other presentation options the features on powerpoint look too common/mundane. The other limiting factor is that Microsoft has made it paid, it should at least come free with when buying a Windows laptop, much like Keynote comes free with purchase of Apple products.
Reasons for Switching to Microsoft PowerPoint
The only reason I would chose Microsoft PowerPoint over these is the fact that it has been in the market for so long, that collaboration becomes so easy. And it is so ubiquitous that you can find a solution to any feature anywhere on the web.Microsoft PowerPoint FAQs
