    Our take

    Understanding Microsoft PowerPoint.

    Microsoft's presentation software for building slides, part of the Microsoft 365 suite, with templates, animations, collaboration and design assistance tools.

    Pros and cons

    What Microsoft PowerPoint does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.

    Pros

    • De facto standard, universally compatible format.
    • Rich templates, animations and tools.
    • Real-time collaboration via Microsoft 365.
    • Free web version available.

    Cons

    Microsoft PowerPoint: when it makes sense.

    PowerPoint remains the reference for professional, universally compatible presentations; for rare and simple use, a free web tool is enough.

    Keep if

    You regularly create professional presentations.. You already work in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

    Microsoft PowerPoint becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost (€7) is small next to the time it saves you

    Challenge if

    You only make rare, very simple presentations.. You prefer a natively collaborative web presentation tool.

    Microsoft PowerPoint becomes too expensive when
    • You use it less than once a month
    • A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
