Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I have only tested AO8 - Write so my opinion is about Write for now. Write can import your old MS Words documents pretty well but not faithfully. Editing is more or less similar to Words. The menus are somewhat simpler but pretty limited compared to Words menus. For an alternative to MS Words, Write is a fine product if you start writing your own document in it. Do not import your old Word document for the reason I ponder in Cons.
  • I love that the program is much like Microsoft office but cheaper in price and in my opinion, much more user friendly. The program has all the same features as Office and similar setup.

Cons

  • 1. AO8 is used only in metric, no inches which is a downside. Computer printers are often designed using the imperial unit while metric is a little messier in computer terms. 1 in is easier to vision than 25.4mm, so does 0.5 in compared with 12.7mm or 0.25in with 6.35mm. This choice of metric-based unit also mess up with the fonts which also primarily designed with the imperial unit. In fact the whole computer was designed with the imperial unit. You would understand if you import an old Word document into Write. It is messier with the table, my table format is thrown out of it original format I had in Words.
  • I wish there was a way to fully customize the look and design to fit my own needs. By adding only the items I use regularly to the homepage instead of having to look for what I need.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • There are consistent updates to the software that have made it better than ever. There are new designs, and my personal favorite, live language translation while you present! They are certainly working to keep PowerPoint competitive with similar products, and are really making it work.
  • More recent versions of Microsoft's PowerPoint have ultimately proven to be a very useful presentation tool for projects. In a recent graduate level group project I lead, we utilized MS PowerPoint's online coordination abilities to work be able to work on the presentation simultaneously. This ability was amazing while we were closing the project out and preparing the final presentation as while we were holding the wrap up meeting in Skype we were able to all make edits and review the presentation on the same copy.
  • PowerPoint has incrementally improved over the years, and has more features than I have time or patience to explore...it gets the job done well.
  • PowerPoint is easy to use, powerful, and professional for building presentations. The templates and see m designs are nice too.
  • Ease of use, features, design and support are unparalleled. There are very few apps like MS PPT. Updated support for local languages makes life better.

Cons

  • I wish there was easier cloud storage or collaborative editing through PowerPoint, but this is easily achieved by pairing it with other softwares like Box.
  • My main complaint with PowerPoint is that the user interface in more recent versions is a bit more confusing and less user friendly than older versions.
  • Images aren't as easy to work with in PowerPoint as they are in keynote. Design in general in keynote seems to have a better 'feel'.
  • It doesn't have quite the flash as Apple's presentation builder, which seems more modern, but it does the job.
  • Nothing much to hate in PPT. It is the standard for delivering presentations.
