Microsoft Powerpoint

Transitions

Animations

Formating images

Flexibility

Widely used

Powerpoint is missing capabilities of going beyond presentations. They could launch features for creating social network posts, for example.

The ability to zoom in and out has improved, but could be easier.

Visual representation

Animation

Data fetching

Import of multiple photos at a time, put at specific location in slides

Data linkage with other software

Navigation could be better

Adding Design

Template

Formatting

Insert Section

video

Recording

Animations

Graphic editing

Audio and video inclusion

The "remove background" feature could be a bit more user friendly - it tends to take up too much space and you're forced to start over and over again and take smaller areas to adjust which takes up quite a bit of time.

I could use some more design templates with less feminine features like flowers and swirls. More industry-themed ones would be great to use.

More adaptability to the "slide master" selection. It is extremely laborious to change each slide generated from the master slide.

Choosing between multiple templates

Going offline to keep working on my projects without having to find an internet hotspot

taking advantage of the various font colors in a well-done ergonomy which makes the navigation very fluid

Being able to work remotely presenting a given project to different geo-located members

The software must be upgraded to enable designers to customize their arts like in Canva or Adobe Spark.

Files must be automatically saved as we're working.

Reduce the bugs as much as possible.

Its consistency across all updates.

Integration of media

Ability to use alongside other programs, like video sharing.

The tool bar has so many options that I don't need.

Sometimes moving text around in boxes gets cumbersome

Back end of presentation isn't sleek looking

Presentation

Ability to edit

Layout options for each slide

More development for slide animations

More Design options aimed towards Business professionals

Microsoft PowerPoint allows to use images, video and audio to have a greater visual impact.

The other best thing is it is easy to use.

The best feature is converts even the most simple documents into attractive presentations.

It offers word processing, outlining, drawing and graphing.

If PowerPoint are universally provided free-of-cost and preferably pre-installed in the devices it should be helpful.

sometimes due to heavy file it creates problem and it would be great if it runs faster

A user guide and annoying

Presentation - readability for all audience (virtual & live).

Automation within slides to highlight/manage information delivery

Integration with other Microsoft office tools, including Teams

Ability to save file as PDF for secure distribution

Better drawing tools, including updated icon library

Different templates that look less like standard 'slides'

Automatic updating from Office applications (e.g., chart/table from Excel, Gantt from Project) so embedded images are not static. (With ability to change to static if desired.)

Easy to import Graphics.

Compatible with many plotting software (Excel, Origin, MATLAB).

Easy to customize to increase company branding.

It sometimes crashes when PowerPoints get too large.

Import/play of videos can be finicky.

Hotkey introduction for alignment and distribution of elements would be useful.

Quick mock-up.

Transitions and animations.

Organization

Convenient features

Easy to use

Tramplers inherent in the software are very helpful to users.

Inexpensive to use.

A user guide.

Functionality direction within the software.

Integration with other Microsoft software to update Powerpoint in real-time.

Sometimes if the file size is heavy it creates problems when playing the presentation.

Provides so many options on design (e.g., how it would look in your presentation)

Easy to use

Provides a presenter screen with what to say while the prospect follows along by watching their screen (without the lines to say)

As far as I know, you cannot make changes while in presenter mode

If you don't have two computer screens, it is hard to present and see what they see at the same time as being able to see your lines (or seeing their faces for reactions)

As far as I know, if I put a picture in a slide, I cannot add text on top of the picture

A wide variety of design templates so you don't have to worry about the look of your presentation

You can easily prepare your statistical data with no ease.

User friendly. Everyone can do their own presentation

More guide or tutorials for beginners.

Be more user friendly.

More options for transitions and animations to make presentations more lively and interactive.

Easy Usability

Information portrayed beyond the basic presentation

Filled with features that can really make any presentation a home run

Microsoft PowerPoint can be a bit dated at times when not used effectivly

Can take away from somebody's ability to engage an audience

Great at creating professional presentations

Good option for graphic design projects

Exporting slides into different formats

When exporting to PDF, there is no option to just export the current slide like there is when you export to PNG. Export to PDF exports the entire file.

Autosnap functionality

Recommended layouts functionality

Master slides

Background settings is inconsistent

Autosnap will lose center of page with too much on it

As you add stuff to page it becomes less intelligent

Insert Photos from my computer and from the web with ease.

Auto arrangement of graphics and texts is made available through suggested formatting.

Spell check as I type is very valuable to me. It autocorrects many words. I like for my presentation to be accurate.

The ability to change any font or any size of font is very valuable to me.

The ability to cut and past from Microsoft Word is valuable to me. It also allows me to import tables I have already created in Word.

I would like for PowerPoint to automatically assume that I want my transitions to come from the left rather than from the bottom. I don't ever use a transition from the bottom.

Learning the control keys has made my work much faster, but where to find the shortcut keys is a challenge. Maybe a menu for shortcut keys would be helpful.

I like to save to my computer, PowerPoints wants everything to be save in OneDrive.

Presentation

Beautiful Templates

Wordart

Downloading

Easy sharing

I am not able to highlight text which is available in other softwares.

The common issue is that it doesn't really have much features for other versions of windows.

There is strong need to remove bugs as sometimes it doesn't really open.

There is a need to make lighter version of it

Share presentations

Template options

Quick to use

Multi monitor presentation

Accessability - Anyone can get into PowerPoint

Visualization - Ability to clearly convey information

Polish - the program provides a lot of ways to make simple ideas polished

It's very clear when something is made in PowerPoint.

Not ideal for creating graphics or even arranging them.

Inserting pictures clearly.

Can change backgrounds.

Have easy to use [templates].

Can provide more [template] choices.

Technical difficulty with slides.

On going cost.

Interfaces with other Office products

Easy to find support

I feel they change the interface and usability too often, requiring some re-learning.

Some functionality is difficult to figure out.

There are some things that it just doesn't do.

Easy to use

Good presenter features

Used by most organizations

Sometimes alignment can be clunky

Files can sometimes be large when images are added

Occasional formatting issues
