Microsoft Sway Pros and Cons

Sway is so interactive and represents one of the best agile tools since Powerpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is that sometimes with pictures, it's hard to scale it down to your liking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With sway we can create interactive, emmersive presentation without the designing hassle by just dragging the required photos and documents. Everything else is taken care by away. What I like the most is that the presentations look impressive across devices and platforms including phones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited sets of design templates. Customization does not work well for all kinds of images. They need better AI to understand which image must be cropped how so that it looks best in the presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the ease of use in navigation, quick startup, and the interface to use the software, typographical themes, and remix them using contrasting yet professional typefaces for the commercial enterprise and how each sway slide resonates with the audience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much that I dislike except the ability to use YOUR chosen branding and corporate fonts aren't present, so this software seems more like a plugin or modern mode for PowerPoint. There are plenty of features to update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, Sway is the best collaborative tool I have worked in for our business and cooperative world. Its tile feature and newsletter function allow for a creative interactive way to share the work and thoughts as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apart from all these, it's still lacking behind due to the limitation of its access to organization users only. We tried to give access to users outside the organization but no one were able to view it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps to prepare wonderful presentation , I have prepared Sway profile when I joined wipro as WFH employee. There is one recommendation option that gives different pattern which makes your work easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is challenging to explore the right option to make your work easy. Need some content along with some practice to use it in best way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was able to upload a PowerPoint to Sway that actually turned it into a really interesting mix on the typical slide deck. If used correctly it really does create a nice change to the presentation of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve seems pretty steep. Maybe I wasn't using the program correctly, but every time I tried to create my own Sway the images wouldn't be easily editable and the templated material was hard to work with. The program also had a tendency to crash quite a bit. I wasn't sure if that was due to our computer or the program itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seamless transition with Microsoft office 365.

One platform to create webpages, documents, reports, and even presentation.

Online and desktop application based on requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of the features of Sway comes with addition of office 365, which is kinda premium application. There are further apps available for web page creation with a number of specifications on top of what Sway provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The storytelling is good but lacks the marketing persuasion necessary for an irresistible newsletter manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slow as everything in Microsoft is. It is even slower that Office 365. And a slow newsletter is one that no one reads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Built-in design formatting makes it more time-saving and looks more attractive. Reports generated with customized layouts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no way to dislike working on presentations and sharing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Microsoft Sway for many purposes, but namely, a newsletter for our organization. I love the photo option to create the scroll feature, which helps not to make the newsletter longer since people tend to stop scrolling after a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be challenging to navigate getting content to be displayed as you'd like it. The ability to customize content can be static, but the benefits of the program outweigh the difficulties with this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
