I personally donot like the User experience part of the key note software.

What do you like best about Keynote?

Straightforward and user-friendly. The best feature for me is removing backgrounds on images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

There's a couple of features that are not available on Keynote but is available on competitor applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to pick up. Play around with the menu/options. If you have any questions, use a search engine and you'll highly likely find your answer(s) online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Presentations and removing backgrounds on images. Good application option if you don't have access to Powerpoint, or if you are using a Macintosh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

Keynote is very easy to get to grips with, having a stripped back interface that presents only the options that you need to create a slick presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Whilst Keynote imports Powerpoint files easily, the same is not true in the other direction. Whilst this is not the fault of Keynote, it does mean that there are limitations in organisations that also use Windows computers, as the cross-compatibility only works one way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We create internal and external presentations using Keynote. Our presentations tend to be better-received than those created with Powerpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

I like how intuitive it is to use right away and be able to make a clean and professional presentation. When I insert pictures, Keynote will show grid lines to help with placement of photos for a clean appearance. Also, I like that Keynote will autosave your file so you can pick up where you left off after leaving the computer and coming back to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

It's a little difficult for me to figure out how to add animation features to my slides. I also don't like that when I try opening Powerpoint files using Keynote, it shifts the fonts and placement of pictures. It gets a little tricky when I need to share files between Mac and PC users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keynote has helped me create presentation aid for events as well as visual reports to share with others. I am able to choose from a variety of templates depending on the type of presentation I need to create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

When many people have to create a presentation, their primary option is usually Microsoft PowerPoint. Whether the presentation is required for work or for school, PowerPoint is the most popular option. However, over the past few years, competition has increased dramatically. Currently, data visualization and innovation are growing aspects of professional presentations. Although Symphony, Google Presentation, Prezi, and Impress all offer similar features to Microsoft PowerPoint; the biggest rival is Apple’s Keynote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Many people have heard of Apple’s version of PowerPoint known as Keynote. Apple enthusiasts praise the program for its innovative features and user-friendly interface. Although the program may be popular with loyal Mac users, Keynote has yet to attain the popularity of PowerPoint. Keynote has received excellent reviews from experts and designers. However, when it comes to overall performance it may be beneficial to evaluate PowerPoint and Keynote one feature at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In most cases, when creating a presentation in the corporate arena, PowerPoint is the standard. Most businesses, unless creatively driven, prefer the simplicity and ease of PowerPoint. Although Keynote is gaining popularity, observing the advantages and disadvantages of both programs can offer the most useful software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

I love the various design options featured in the templates in Keynote. Many of them help make my presentations look clean, crisp, and appealing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

The only thing I dislike about Keynote is the fact that I cannot print multiple slides on an 8.5x11 page, along with lines for note-taking, as I used to be able to do when I used PowerPoint. Maybe I'm mistaken, but up till now, I haven't found this as an option in Keynote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

If you want a nice, clean-looking presentation tool, then Keynote is the right option for you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keynote helps me put together quality presentation slides for when I preach. I preach to high school students twice a week (every Sunday and every Wednesday), and Keynote helps me maintain their attention while I speak to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

For simple presentations is a lot clearer than powerpoint and overall faster to use, making presentation creation time faster and has amazing MacOSX integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Exporting to powerpoint doesn't always work as it should be making it unnecessarily hard to share with Windows users and making it slower than just using powerpoint for slide creation since the troubleshooting time is usually larger than the time cut off by skipping powerpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

It's a good partial replacement for powerpoint but has some glitches when sharing with powerpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Creating presentations that don't need to be edited with powerpoint and exporting them to PDF for easy slide viewing on every OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

The interface is not only user-friendly, but beautifully designed. When working in keynote, I actually want to do work compared to other options and the presentations always turn out better designed when using keynote. It is very easy to share documents back and forth with co-workers, esp. compared to Indesign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Wish there could be more hot keys/short cuts which I think has been solved on the newer Apple computer that I don't have yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I work in the design industry, so presentation design is extremely important — our presentations have to look just as nice as the work itself. Keynote is one of the platforms where it is easy to achieve this.

When creating presentations, we usually have more than one person building the deck so there is a lot of passing back and forth. It is so easy to do this with Keynote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can sometimes be a little complicated to find the perfect template. Also, it only works with apple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
