If I am unsure of how technology-friendly the coworker is, I am more likely to recommend Google Slides, as it is very intuitive for making normal to basic presentations. However, the more advanced the user, or the more specific the need, the more likely I am to point the coworker in a different direction.
This trial presentation software is very well suited for trial, depositions and mediations. The software organizes exhibits and allows for synchronized deposition transcripts to be viewed simultaneously. It allows the attorney to tell the complete story of the case by quickly putting together productions, discovery and any additional documentation needed to build a case.
The popularity for Google Slides among the casual technology tool users is so great that we are not in a position to replace this tool with anything else. Every other tool either doesn't have the popularity, or doesn't match the ease of sharing level of Slides. The training needed to learn a different tool is too great. Google Slides is very easy to pick up and master.
Google Slides is super easy to use and it just makes sense. There isn’t much of a learning curve to just get in and use it. However, once you start to dig into it a bit more. There is so much customization you can do and so many tools that offer you almost unlimited options.
Skids is so much easier to use than PowerPoint and the design is much, much simpler. You can be more creative with Slides because it is flexible enough to use unlike PowerPoint. The downside is there is a learning curve because it isn’t the same old crappy software everyone else uses.
I have used TrialPad in the past and found it very user friendly and easy to use. However, functionality is limited as to what you can do or how the data can be manipulated once uploaded to TrialPad. TrialDirector 360 by Ipro gives the user a full array of tools and functionality and in some ways is easier to navigate and control in presentation mode.
We're switching from microsoft to google and it has had a decently positive ROI due to reduced friction of figuring out and managing sharepoint
The negative impact is that it does not do everything we need for product and design so we do have to supplement it with more specific software
Another positive is that it has reduced the friction in easily creating and sharing PPTs during client-facing meetings making it easier for our bd, sales and product teams to make a positive impact on potential + current clients
