Keynote is still fidgety when signing in, as it stores presentations on the cloud automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great for Mac users who want to Crete presentations and avoid integrating Google software. Its great for people who want more freedom when designing and editing slides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Truthfully, Keynote has done everything I have asked of it and more. I dont have anything negative to say about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

Ppt may have more functions, but keynote is definitely more easier to use for simple composition. And I just prefer Apple’s aesthetics than Microsoft. My presentations look nicer with keynote Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Personally I do prefer to use keynote but most of our works are still on ppt so if I’m working on both, I can’t simply drag a slide from one to another like what you could do within the same product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I just like how it look, the templates are simple and elegant, hope to have more free templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

It's easier to use as powerpoint and for simple presentations, it's faster to use and it saves time since the interface is cleaner and easier to read without so many buttons and options in the action bar, giving you only what you need for creating a presentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

It's not as powerful as powerpoint, for presentations involving fine details is not the best even option since for advanced use all those menus available in PowerPoint actually save time, the biggest flaw is that is Mac only and importing/exporting from KeyNote and Vice versa usually has warnings and unexpected glitches so no way to reliably collaborate with Windows users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

It's a lot more enjoyable to use than powerpoint but not as powerful, I use it every time I have the chance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Creating presentations for anything that isn't too complex or that involves Windows users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

it's very easy to use and create high-quality presentations. great templates, nice integrations, etc. highly recommend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

it can be hard to totally customize everything, and you cant easily control every feature. for instance, choosing the background of a shape to be a photo is nearly impossible were it not for masks, but learning how to implement a mask in keynote was tough and took much trial and error Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

creating high-quality presentations that can easily be presented and shared both internally and externally. nice easy present option via a website url Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

I like keynote for making simple, nice-looking presentations that aren't too busy. I find the tools easy to navigate, and it is less intimidating than Powerpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

At times, I find that while it's less intimidating than Powerpoint, it's less comprehensive. I don't know what tools are available to me in total, and I find it challenging to access the more advanced tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

If you have more advanced presentation needs, stick with PPT. But if you're looking for ease of use to create simple, clean projects, Keynote all the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Not solving any problems per se, but more so have been able to step out of the Microsoft bubble with the design-based software. For more art-minded people, I think this is a better program than PPT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

There isn't a lot ot dislike about Keynote but sometimes there can be a lot of different clicks and steps you need to take to change an element. For example, to change character spacing you need to go into the sub-menu to change it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

Take the time to learn all the various features of Keynote, there is a lot of different tools that can make presentations look professional. You don't need a designer to make your decks if you're able to effectively learn Keynote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keynote has streamlined the deck making process, with the features and tools it provides it can help save time compared to other presentation softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently just be creative and using different platforms to see what works and what doesn’t work. I believe it’s all about the target audience in here trying to reach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
