Reviewer scorecard
“Limited customization and no real API. For dev team presentations, Markdown-to-slides tools are more flexible.”
“Best tool for complex technical diagrams — AWS architecture, ERDs, sequence diagrams. Data linking feature is powerful.”
“The smart layout engine is genuinely impressive. Produces better slides than 90% of manual PowerPoint work.”
“Functional but not beautiful. Miro and Whimsical produce better-looking output with less effort.”
“Locked into their template system. When you need a custom layout, you're fighting the tool instead of using it.”
“Enterprise pricing is steep but for regulated industries that need Visio-level diagramming with cloud collab, it works.”
