What do you like best about Keynote?

Keynote, for me, is an excellent presentation software that we use for all of our meetings, mainly for its simplicity but beautiful/stunning presentation. It is also super compatible with other presentation apps. If one of our employees writes some slides in Powerpoint, we can just drop those slides into Keynote with almost 0 compatibility issues. Keynote also features some great themes that make it easy to change for whatever type of meeting we may be having. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Although I like the number of master slides/themes a lot, I wish there were more to pick from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main problem we have solved with Keynote is finding a presentation software that any of our employees can use without much direction. The software is very intuitive and can even be drag and drop for most applications of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

Keynote is lucidly better than the other existing software with scores of template, create and edit slides, add animations and transitions, and has numerous charts, tables, and graphs to get your message across. When it comes to presenting scientific research, this is a must to use app. It gives you scores of eye-catching charts, tables and graphs with objects in your slides through animations and transitions. Recommend this app, without even single reservation!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I have been experiencing a bug that may be affecting other people as well. It has to do with moving stuff around on a slide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Keynote?

Simplicity of use and design. Editing is easy and the side bar is easy to navigate, making the task at hand more efficient. Images are easily resized. I like that I can collage multiple the way that I like, select all and move to be centered/middled in that same design. I'm all about making the best use of my time and this program's design seems developed witht that in mind. Not to mention the elements are sleek. Visuals are important to me when choosing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

The slide bleeds all the way to the edge of the program. I don't know if this will make sense to others, but visually it's confusing to me. I like to see the full slide with a border around it to know where to stop, not the edge of the window. I know that my image has fallen off the slide when I no longer see it in the window, but it makes me think it's still there and I need to scroll to see it. I also wouldn't mind if the color picker didn't stay up when I was done with is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

It comes with your Apple device so I don't know why you wouldn't choose to use it unless you simply didn't have the option. I'm always a proponent of using Apple programs on Apple products when you can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Keynote for all of my client presentations. The problem I solve is getting my content out of my brain and onto a document. I know that there are other programs that do similar what Keynote does, but they just aren't as easy to use to me. Another problem I'm solving is time management. I only have so many hours in the day and Keynote doesnt make me feel like I'm wasting them trying to figure out how to work the software. The benefit is I'm saving time and I don't need internet to complete presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

So easy to create beautiful presentations and design templates. I've even created full-on animations in this software. The alignment tool makes it easy to take a presentation to the next level, and the image editor is an easy tool to create another design consistency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

Would've been great if keynote was compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint, but considering that you can open PowerPoint files in Keynote, something tells me that Apple isn't the problem child here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can create beautiful presentations for professional occasions. I've used Keynote for well over a decade and would use it over PowerPoint any day of the week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

Due to security issues, we are not able to use Google Slides and Google Drive. Since most of the team uses Mac, we are able to use the collaboration features within Keynote to create slides for our clients, it's super helpful. The layouts, notes, software is super robust, we have massive presentations that run very fast on our oldest machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I do wish there was a more 'Google-Drive-esque' file management system, where I can easily browse and find my keynotes from anywhere, I think we can all agree that iCloud leave a lot to be desired there.

Additionally, for the few team members who need to use the web-app on a Windows machine, it's very slow and clunky for them. If you are not a Mac-only or Mac-heavy team, Keynote would not work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

If you are not an entirely Mac team, it's not worth it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We can collaborate on presentations between our design, strategy, UX, and testing teams. It is also much easier and faster to create on-brand and styled presentations compared to Power Point Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

If you need a tool for presentation, it is often either between Microsoft Powerpoint, Google Sheets, and Keynotes. When comparing Keynotes to Google Sheets, Keynotes is far more superior since it is not 100% free, because Keynotes is only available for MacOS users and is not available for purchase for Windows computer. However, when talking about Microsoft Powerpoint, even if you are a MacOS user, unlike Keynotes you will have to pay for it.

Keynotes can basically do what Microsoft Powerpoint can do. However, what I like most about Keynotes would be the smoothness of the software. Since Keynotes is built by Apple and built just for its MacOS products, Keynotes run extremely smooth even for old Macbook or iMac like the Macbook Air 2015 that I'm using right now.

Other than the smoothness, similar to other Apple products, the user experience in using it would be the best. Everything is easy to locate, looks modern, contains all the necessary features, and good looking slides design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

The main thing that I dislike about Keynotes is sharing the presentation to non-Mac users. Therefore, I have to switch from using Keynotes to Powerpoint sometimes when I know that my audience or stakeholders only have Powerpoint or use Windows computer. Even though you can download files from Keynotes as PPTX, the format and animations set literally became a chaos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keynote:

If everyone in your organization is using Mac, I believe that Keynotes would be the best presentation tool. However, if not everyone is using Mac, you might find some difficulties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In newer Macs, even though Keynote has to be downloaded from the AppStore, it's free and easy to download unlike Powerpoint. As previosly mentioned, first, Powerpoint is not free so that is already one benefit that I have realized. All Macs comes with a free presentation tool call Keynote. And, second, Keynote runs very smooth unlike Powerpoint on older Mac which lags so bad after the creation of couple of slides (15 - 20 on Macbook Air 2015 that I'm using right now).

What do you dislike about Keynote?

I dislike that when I am on "Play" mode in keynote and presenting on Zoom-- it acts very funky and freezes a lot and will not let me continue to my next slide with out exiting "play" mode and starting again! Not sure why it does tnhat, but it happens almost everytime I am presenting! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keynote?

The interface is instantly familiar if you've used other products in Apple's "office" lineup (e.g. Numbers, Pages). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

There are a few solid, modern-looking templates that I rely on. I wish they'd remove some of the older ones and introduce fresh templates more often. This is a minor criticism, though, since I use a very small number of templates in my work.

Compatibility with PowerPoint is okay. I think exporting to .ppt works better than importing a PowerPoint file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I need to get my point across with a few words, an image, or a tasteful animation (I use them sparingly). The native drawing and shape tools are extremely helpful here, so I don't have to go somewhere else to generate and edit graphics. I can make things very clean and professional, which lends credibility to the ideas I'm sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keynote?

It is much cleaner than Microsoft PowerPoint, but it doesn't have a lot of the same animations and transitions. If it were a simpler version of PowerPoint, it would be great, but it takes getting used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
