empower Reviews & Product Details

The software is intuitive and reduces time to really build impresses Powerpoint add-ins. I do use a lot of GANTT Charts and the product is very easy and delivers a great quality of charts and other office add-ins. It is kinda fresh compared to competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is rather intuitive and strong. i would have loved if if org charts would be possbile too. Maybe in a further update? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps our team to stay more organized with our individual slides and presentations. The customer service is also what makes empower special for us. We tested so many different tools and we got the most support from empower, they helped us optimize our slide design and walked us through the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the beginning the amount of features is very overwhelming but customer support luckily reacts very quickly to any questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The central library is really helpful to at least establish a foundation to maintain a well-organized corporate library of PowerPoint slides. The authoring tools add functionality that Microsoft failed to implement for years already (and probably never will). After moving the whole solution into the cloud the administrative effort is really small and the performance is much better. Support is good and regular updates provide more features.

A central user administration would be nice (shall be in the product soon). More insight into the history of slides would be nice. It remains a challenge to convince users of the benefits (but this is most probably not a particular problem of empower). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- makes sure, that your presentations are consistent and in compliance with the corporate design with the Design Check

- Layout Tools allow you to easily and fast create and modify slides (would no longer like to create presentations without this)

- save slides, presentations and pictures directly in the Library

- sidebar to ease access for Library, Layout Tools & Design Check Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- starting performance with currently up to 25 seconds

- missing personalization options for user, e.g. central or local activation of features, sizes of icons [it is nice to add Layout Tools, but it would be even better to say: "I want to have feature x always displayed big"] Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

empower helps me finding slides much faster that have been used in previous presentations. Secondly, I can save a lot of time making presentations brand consistent. And last but not least, I can convert old presentations with a few clicks to adjust them to our latest templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In previous versions, there was no automatic slide translation available, but that has been added recently. Thus, there are currently no downsides when using empower. However, switching back to PowerPoint without empower has become really painful ;-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
