I am not a big fan, but the small things I do like are 1) the long list of possible animations (that used to be unique but is currently getting more trivial); 2) the ability to open the proprietary Keynote files that you might still have lying around somewhere; 3) the pricing (free for MacOS users); and 4) the fact that it can automatically animate existing presentations and create movie clips.

Oh yes, Keynote used to be something special, back when it was Keynote vs PowerPoint. But as time went by more and more presentation tools emerged, and PowerPoint got better and better, and Keynote was left behind. The main dislikes are the lack of a web-based version, the boring and unappealing UI, the lack of connectivity outside the Apple ecosystem, and the lack of interesting tools and images. Compared to other presentation systems like Canva, Miro, and even PowerPoint, I find Keynote to be lacking in both strength and valor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was already installed on my MacBook so I gave it a whirl. I like how simple it is. I've worked with other presentation software and a lot of them are just too overwhelming. This is pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When exporting for other programs, it doesn't always play nice. Fonts missing, formatting a mess, and some functions/transitions that are in Keynote don't mirror ones in other programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keynote is the perfect PowerPoint alternative; you can quickly make professional-looking slides, and it has features you can control from your Apple Watch when you're presenting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the functions that Keynote has can be very limited; one of them is the animations, the variety is little, and you have to repeat some; the same happens with the templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can use across all mty devices, it works on the iPhone, iPad, and the MacBook Pro I have. It makes working on any presentation quite convenient. Extremely easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, I do not dislike anything, it works, it's easy, and I have access to everything, there is nothing to dislike about it. It is even free to use no subscription needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I jumped into Keynote a few years ago and never looked back. I predominantly use its flawless ability to build animated sequences – from simple mini-presentations to fairly complex productions. It offers the ability to paste other Mac app images which is a real time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That it's Mac only and 99% of my clients are PC/Windows based and limited to Powerpoint. I've even showed clients how good it is and frustrated we can't readily share files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to create beautiful and complete designs. Super professional-looking decks for presentations and proposals etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Keynote lacks the seamless collaboration features that other presentation software has like Canva. It's often very clunky to give others access to the decks and relies on paid iCloud storage if you want to save multiple files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

user friendly for mac users, allows us to present well to groups of people, edit presentations for use on iPads Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some people who arent familiar with macs struggle from time to time, so associates have to use Powerpoint so I have to convert Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Keynote is probably my favorite tool on Mac. I've been using it for years now to put together presentations and even to design marketing pieces. It's extremely user-friendly and once you learn all the features, tools, and shortcuts, you are able to put together beautiful presentations very quickly. Everything in it makes sense and it's user-centric. Great UI/UX. Great export options. Great integration with video/audio files. Very comprehensive set of features.

I don't have anything to complain, Keynote is amazing. If I have to say something I dislike, would probably be that sometimes it breaks when exporting files to PowerPoint format, but that's not what this product is made for in my opinion, so it wouldn't be fair to complain about that.
