Microsoft PowerPoint

Pros: It's easy to use so just about anyone can create a presentation and adjust the content and layout to their needs.

Cons: There is a learning curve for creating automations etc.

Overall: Overall it's a good program to use for creating presentations. There is a learning curve so be ready to get past that.

Pros: 1. Super-easy, super-intuitive.
2. Tons of addons, customizations, features, editing tools.
3. Modern and fresh look (2016 version onwards).
4. Plethora of formats to export (you can export your Presentation as video too!)

Cons: 1. Pricey. Competition offers similar features are very low price.
2. Updates can be bulky, and occasionally buggy.
3. Only Office 365 supports version updates. Standalone software gets only performance fixes.

Overall: If price is not your concern, or your firm already has license of MS Office, then there is no reason to look for any alternative. You already have the best.

Pros: I felt very easy to operate and I gave special effects to many of my presentations through animations.

Cons: When I load up too many slides at the same time, performance significantly slowed down and the program crashed.

Overall: Presentations were made easy and effective with less effort just loved all its features and functions.
