Visme is an online platform with a mission to allow anyone to visualize their ideas into engaging presentations, infographics, animations, and product demonstrations.
Google Slides is perfect for teams working on a presentation for a customer, where multiple people can be working on the same presentation at the same time. It is also helpful to see who is currently viewing the presentation and if and what they are currently editing. Google Slides might not be the best solution for all presentations as sometimes a customer requests a live demo.
Visme is great for our team of 8 marketing professionals to create and share graphics, presentations and other marketing collateral. I could see that it would also be effective for a larger, enterprise marketing department. It is a bit pricey when your team grows, and at times our newer team members have struggled to learn the tool.
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.
It fairly easy to use and manage, especially if you are already in the Google Suite - however design styling is often lacking and missing - which can be a major draw back if you are presenting to an external party. For those cases I will typically use Keynote or Figma Slides
Google Slides works both online and offline, they are free to use if you have a Google account. Easy to share and are supported by most web browsers. A great addition to your arsenal of interactive educational online platforms.
Visme is one of the finest applications in terms of producing more engaging and effective designs, slides or infographics for the business very easily. Illustrator is much more complex and requires a lot of practice for becoming an expert. Whereas, Visme doesn't require technical expertise for this type of job. Visme always allows the company to create standard process policies in visual as it helps the employees to adhere to.
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
