What do you like best about Keynote?

The best features of Apple Keynote is how easy it is to learn and use. It's simple to learn the basics and handles typopraphy and images better than other presentation programs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Keynote is a little expensive, which his typical for Apple products. Because of this, it's not as accessible and ubiquitous as PowerPoint. Would be great to see higher adoption throughout the business community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

I recommend Keynote before any other presentation program on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Adobe Keynote for presentations and all types of other digital presentations of information and data. The presentations are great, but you can also use it for producting other assets like proposals, ebooks, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

The best things about Keynote are its simplicity (even a child can use it), its compatibility with its great rival, PowerPoint, its connectivity, and its combination with other Apple devices, from the Apple Pencil to the iPad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

It´s hard to pinpoint something I dislike about Keynote. Sometimes it crashes while working with huge files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

The foundation of any Keynote is the theme. To select a Theme and start crafting your Keynote, open the Keynote application and go to File > New or press the Command+N keys. Apple provides dozens of ready-to-use presets.

When choosing a theme I recommend that you go for the simpler ones that will display your content without distractions, such as black or white themes for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being a public speaker I need a tool that leverages my storytelling skills. Keynote manages images and videos like no other software and makes it possible to avoid using extra tools as Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

The ease of use is the most helpful aspect of Keynote. You can easily cut and paste and grab and move slides around for your presentation. The UX is so simple. I build out slides on Illustrator and Photoshop and it's so easy to transfer the images to Keynote and change the sizes around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

The only thing I dislike about Keynote is that scroll is the default setting for using a remote rather than page by page. There were many times that I was in a rush and forgot to set it to page by page, and it took time out of my presentation to go back and correct it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The benefits of Keynote are that I can get the message in my head to the images I create to the presentation on screen so the audience can enjoy in the simplest way possible. Its just so easy to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

What I like best about keynote is that it works well with apple products. Since keynote is linked to apple products I think that makes it more people inclined to use it. I also like how easy it is to set up your presentation with a remote to change slides while presenting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I dislike using keynote because I do not think that it is very user-friendly. There are other presentation products that are out there for general users that would be easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

Give it a try and see if this is the right fit for you. Keynote is very much the personal preference of users. If you don't like it there are a lot of other products out there that do the same thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem that you solve with keynote would be setting up business presentions. Keynote helps solve problems for both small companies and large companies. The benefit that I have seen would be that it is easy to set up with a remote. so you can present without another person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

The most helpful feature of Keynote is the simplicity of the application. It is intuitive because the interface was well made. Another great feature is the themes that come pre-installed within Keynote. I can make great slides for most purposes, or I can start with a blank slide and add to my "canvas" in the way I see fit.

I also like that Keynote came with my Macbook. Not having access to Microsoft Office becomes an issue for users looking to work right away. For what Keynote provides, it is an excellent software that delivers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

While the interface is user-friendly, it is not precisely like PowerPoint. For users looking for an identical, free application like Microsoft's, this is not an ideal alternative for everyone. I found Keynote convenient when I needed to work upon delivery of my laptop, but ultimately, I needed to invest in Microsoft Office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keynote helped me work on my presentation when I didn't have any other option. I was able to export my file as needed, so I wasn't entirely locked into using Keynote for the remainder of my work. It was simple to use right out of the box, and I was pleased with the ability to navigate through a new software upon launching it for the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

How user friendly it was. Easy to add images and details. Easy to create different slides and different variety of them as well. I used it for posters, presentations, etc. and all were very pleasant experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Saving as a keynote can be a pain because you can only play it through their program, Keynote. So I wish there was an easier way to save and replay/show your slides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

It takes a little bit of trial and error to get used to it, but once you get the hang of it, it's a relatively easy program to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problems we were solving with Keynote at the early childhood center at the jcc were just the easieness of creating presentations. The benefits I've realized are just the pure ease of the use of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

Keynote is smooth, intuitive, and syncs well with Microsoft or Google programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I'd love if Keynote had more templates in different styles - I've resorted to purchasing others' designs online to have a bigger variety of templates from which to choose. I also wish there were an easy way to make photo slides in bulk rather than having to drag and drop each photo, slide-by-slide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

If you want a smooth, intuitive experience making slideshow presentations, this is a great option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keynote is the PowerPoint equivalent for a Mac. It also can open and save as PowerPoint and Google Slide files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
