However, my total experience as a designer for 10 years is very positive: for all my presentations I always rely on Keynote, because it halves any of my working time and always manages to give me new ideas with all its tools. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros If you too never know where to start for your slide presentations from today you can worry no more, Keynote takes care of it!Templates, guides, animations: with Keynote anyone can make beautiful and functional presentations, it is a thousand steps ahead of all other presentation programs with its always fresh and cool templates. #### Cons Unfortunately there are few templates available and the interface is not so intuitive, only by really using the software a lot will you know how to find all the features, otherwise some things are so hidden that you think it doesn't have them. #### Reasons for choosing Keynote Because within it there are templates, animations, shadows and effects already set to the best: I can think less and render much more. --- ### A lot potential not used fro years. Nevertheless, the best alternative for Powerpoint. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. To design a quick presentation is very easy. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It is the easiest tool to learn and design a presentation. The best thing is the possibility to start a keynote on the iPad and to finish it on the Mac. #### Cons Apple does't manage it to give us a real collaborative tool still. To comment, work together, exchange data and brainstorm together are not there yet in the way, the competition does it. All the tools in Keynote are there, but not used as they could be. Also, the use of custom fonts between iPad and Mac is totally off or not possible. #### Reasons for choosing Keynote It is free and best integrated to the Apple workspace. --- ### Slides on the move. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I used it on my iPad and iPhone. So it was really useful and fun to edit presentation on my phone without using computer. I create and share slides for my colleagues for education. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like it comes free with my iPad and my iPhone. My presentations are saved on iCloud. So it is accessible between all Apple devicea and family. It’s free so I don’t have to pay. I can create and share presentations on my iPhone. Usage and interface is very basic and easy. #### Cons It’s not easy to send presentations to other platforms. I need to convert format for other platforms. #### Reasons for switching to Keynote I bought Apple devices. So Apple software work perfect on Apple devices --- ### Just a Little Bit Nicer Than the Others - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Professional Training & Coaching - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Keynote helps me look more professional than my solopreneur operation would naturally allow. I can quickly turn out great looking pieces of content. Keynote appears to be less known or used which is to my advantage because I often get compliments and requests to know what I used that leads to more client engagement. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The templates are top notch and make it really easy and intuitive to put together a classy, high quality presentation easily. As most of my work world moved to Zoom (and is planning to stay), being able to quickly create backgrounds, visual cueing and information sharing has been critical. There are lots of slide presentation apps but Keynote's taste and layout suggestions are just a bit nicer. I consistently get feedback and requests for "tips" about how I got my slides to look so good. #### Cons Converting Keynote slides into Google Slides takes a couple of steps to work around. You can covert directly in app to PowerPoint, .pdf, .gifs, etc but not Slides yet, which is the most common request from my end users. #### Reasons for switching to Keynote I preferred the templates and felt the app was easier to use overall. --- ### My go-to presentation tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I use keynote to quickly whip up a presentation that looks good and is super stable. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Apple's Keynote software offers me everything I need in my presentation software. It's easy to style my slides and I can quickly build out a presentation deck. The best part is that it's free to download for Mac users. #### Cons I miss some of the more deeper technical settings that some other competitors might have. #### Reasons for switching to Keynote It's easy to get quickly started with a presentation, and it's free to download with Mac --- ### Worth using for presentations - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Blake S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, happy with its capabilities and I use every other week or so for building content for advertising. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros ease of onboarding. its almost identical to powerpoint, and you can 'edit mask' which means you can easily remove the background or foreground. #### Cons some animations you cannot do but yo can in powerpoint, and when you save a presentation it is not simple to shrink the size of the whole file. #### Reasons for choosing Keynote I didnt choose it over them, rather in tandem. --- ### As Easy t - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Annie H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I'm a big fan of Keynote. I think it's the easiest application to create beautiful presentations. It has a lot of features that can make my life easier. For example, Keynote allows me to embed videos and photos into my slides. I can even record myself presenting the slide show and then, I can send the link to my clients. #### Cons Native templates are a bit poor, but you can find awesome ones on the net. #### Reasons for switching to Keynote When I bought my first iMac, I tried it because it was the default app. Finally, it fitted my needs and was so easy to handle. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 150 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/presentation/keynote-profile/reviews/) ## Keynote Popular Comparisons [Microsoft PowerPoint vs Keynote](https://www.softwareadvice.com/presentation/keynote-profile/vs/microsoft-powerpoint/)[Canva vs Keynote](https://www.softwareadvice.com/graphic-design/canva-profile/vs/keynote/)[Google Slides vs Keynote](https://www.softwareadvice.com/presentation/google-slides-profile/vs/keynote/)[Prezi vs Keynote](https://www.softwareadvice.com/presentation/keynote-profile/vs/prezi-business/)[ProPresenter vs Keynote](https://www.softwareadvice.com/presentation/keynote-profile/vs/propresenter/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/presentation/keynote-profile/alternatives/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
