ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF PREZI AND POWER POINT

PREZI

Advantage

Prezi is a presentation app known mostly for its style of zoom navigation and a “slide less” design. Zoom navigation is a feature in Prezi which it can help the creator to organize their slide and at the same time, it also makes the presentation unique and more interesting. Moreover, Prezi video is a feature that allows the creator to put a video of you live stream or record alongside your content. It helps the presenter to more engage with the audience if compared to PowerPoint. Lastly is the use of Prezi is more economical especially for students because there has a free version for students that need the bare necessities for their projects without too much fanfare. Paid plans start as low as $3/month.

Disadvantage

The disadvantage of Prezi is frequent zooming in and out movement can be a bit overwhelming for some and might irritate the audience. Also, a Prezi presentation shared on its own can be confusing if the viewer doesn’t know how to navigate the functions. Besides, Prezi provides offline access for the paid subscription only. Prezi can only be used with an internet connection and also slow internet speeds can make a Prezi almost impossible to navigate. Online hosting can sometimes cause the platform to move slower than alternatives. This will disrupt the process of use, especially for students who have internet problems. Next, the disadvantage of Prezi is less variation of a template. Lack of template variation can interfere with the flexibility of work to hit the target.

POWER POINT

Advantage

Microsoft PowerPoint is the presentation software in the Microsoft Office Suite. The advantage of PowerPoint is it provides basic features that are easy to master and can make it appear to be organized. From that, the creator can create their slide base on their creativity. The second advantage of PowerPoint is the rich features for using multimedia in presentations. To create an interesting and engaging presentation, the creator can add video, audio, voice-over, and animations to keep viewers interested and engaged. These features help add a good dose of visual impact to presentations. Next, PowerPoint provides plenty of templates. Thematic templates were an excellent idea because they would save a lot of work time. It is because the users just only need to fill in the blank of the template they use.

Disadvantage

The advantage of PowerPoint is it can lead to boring presentations. This because the users usually dumping all of the information on the audience instead of serving and engaging the audience. From that the audience difficult to focus and more likely to do other things. Furthermore, the disadvantage of PowerPoint is compatibility issues which the newer version of PowerPoint could not be open on older computers. Lastly, PowerPoint is the ongoing cost of the Microsoft 365 Office Suite. Users can obtain PowerPoint on their own but the cost is high which they need to pay it monthly.
