The smart painter tool is by far the most readily used tool for me, I use it on every single work product I produce almost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The largest downside is sometimes the linking to excel can be glitchy / unlink or with similar tabs will not be sure where to link to. The links also look different than their print (graph text looks like it is a different font until printed / pdfd). Another downside is the text linking has to be done one at a time (to my knowledge). This makes it annoying to link tables when you want the formatting to be in powerpoint for the table, but text to come from excel. A feature to input links in mass (i.e. copy table in excel and paste values with formatting and links to the excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to create data links. The formatting works great when linking to a powerpoint. Many of the other tools (other than linking) are pretty useful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The formatting when linking to word isn't great. Instead of linking a table, we end up creating the table in word and linking the individual numbers instead. Not a big deal but an opportunity for improvement.
The workbook clean up tool would be super useful if it worked but there was not one time that it didn't crash, making it unusable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Upon linking Excel values to the report in Word/PowerPoint format, if there are errors, it is difficult to navigate to the errors. I would recommend including a feature to quickly navigate to the exact link(s) with an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From my role as marketing director, the most beneficial aspect of Upslide is the ability to put controls around the brand and standardisation of presentations across global offices. In doing so there is a new appreciation of the importance of marketing and brand from within the business and an eagerness to do more and seek input from the team.

This is likely to be unique to us, but the file weights are significant - i assume it is the design of the covers and title slides which is adding weight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
