What do you like best about Keynote?

Apple keynote is very useful for users of IOS and it helps you create eye catching and engaging presentations such as the ones created by Microsoft Powerpoint. It is also great for those who do not want to use Powerpoint and are opting for an easier app. it is also free for IOS users which is great as they can all benefit from Keynote. keynote also has a good transition and animation effects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I dislike the fact that mp4 is not supported as a export file type. The collaboration features are still in beta which can be quite frustrating. It is not available to those who do not use IOS which is quite discriminatory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keynote solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am not solving any problems with Keynote. The benefits are the Keynote is free and easy to use for IOS users and enables you to create excellent presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

I like Keynote because it is very versatile, and can be used for several different things. I use it to build decks, create maps and floorplans, as well as simple design features. It's easy to use and very user friendly for someone who is not prone to design software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I have had a hard time using the collaboration feature. It didn't use to exist to my knowledge, which was my biggest problem with it. I'm happy to see that now you and a teammate can collaborate on a project in keynote together, but I haven't been able to get this to work yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

It's much better than Powerpoint, if that's what you're switching from. It's not as in depth as Adobe products, but it's free and if you don't need all of the extra features and want a simple way to create quick projects, use Keynote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keynote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quickly and easily being able to throw together a beautiful deck, diagram, presentation. There are many shortcuts that make this easy and it takes away all the unnecessary fluff other softwares have in them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

Keynote saves time and allows for incredible looking presentation decks to be made. From a technical standpoint, this software runs quicker and with less issues than any other presentation program. From a workflow point of view, being able to set up templates using the master slide system saves a tremendous amount of time for myself and for my company. We have been able to develop a deck template matching our corporate brand guidelines and have that look remain consistent regardless of who is making the presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

We have a number of clients that prefer to use Google Slides. Converting decks from Keynote to Slides is quite cumbersome and I would love to see the integration between these 2 fixed. We currently have to convert a keynote deck to a Powerpoint presentation, make necessary formatting adjustments to fix conversion issues, then convert the Powerpoint to Slides, and then make a second round of formatting adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

Switching to and learning this software over Powerpoint will save you a lot of time and frustration. Just be aware that integration with Google Slides is not functional and you will need Powerpoint to bridge the gap between the 2 programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keynote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Personally, I build a lot of decks for client presentations. Keynote allows me to build eye-catching presentations quickly while adhering to our company's brand guidelines. Furthermore, assigning deck creation to my assistants is also seamless due to the convenience of the master slide system. Last, this software rarely crashed and can handle large image/video files without wreaking havoc on our computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

Great software for creating simple presentations. Much better than powerpoint and overall faster to use. Faster creation of presentations together with amazing MacOSX integration makes this software a force to be reckoned with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Sending a Keynote file to someone who has’t got Keynote can be troublesome as file conversion is not automatic. Other than this not have an other dislikes apart from the interface and usability of the software can be difficult at time when searching for a feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

You may have to make the switch to PC to Mac for the best integration but this move is well worth it. Keynote makes giving presentations a doddle! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keynote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keynote is great for all presentations. Can be used on the go as it has mobile version on apps and can be used on mobile phones and tablets. Allowing Keynote to run on both iPhone and iPad means that I seamlessly switch between the two which makes it more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

I like best that Keynote is both available as an application on macbook, ipad and iphone. Likewise, it can be accessed online thru iCloud.com. It is free service or application provided by Apple.

The best thing about Keynote is during presentation, you can use your iPad or Iphone as a wireless connector and presentor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

There are limited templates provided by Apple on Keynote is the only downside I see. But they are so modern and easy to change, so not a biggy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

I highly recommend that you use Keynote by Apple. It is way better than powerpoint and more capable than powerpoint. It is also free to use, whether you are an apple product user or not, just go to icloud.com. But of course, it is best to use it with Mac together with other Apple Products and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keynote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keynote is a great tool and a big help for people like me who work in sales and marketing. The templates are very modern and more dynamic. They are easy to change to get your feel and need for your business presentation. Keynote is best because even if I don't have any of my Apple gadgets, I can still access my files thru iCloud.com. So even if I am just using a windows desktop or laptop, I am not limited. I can still edit and complete my business presentation or proposal. Furthermore, what I like best is that during presentation my iphone serves as a wireless mouse/connector or presentor, so my focus is on the people that are listening to my presentation, and I don't easily get lost because I can see on my iphone what is being presented at the moment on the screen seen by my audience. I am always in sync even if I don't turn by back to look at the main screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

The best thing about Keynote is that it has all the features you like in PowerPoint but it has a simpler interface to use them in. Finding things is much easier than in PowerPoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

The only downside is that if you transfer a PowerPoint file into Keynote you will sometimes have to reposition things on your slides as they may not fit like they did before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keynote solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work with guest lectures' a lot and most of them bring a Keynote file to be played so instead of trying to open the Keynote file in PowerPoint my company bought Keynote so we could use the correct software for their presentations. It has worked very smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
