I’ll try this Q again with more detail. Our organization has recently migrated to thinkcell. We have all been experiencing massive technical issues - inability to sync the deck either the cloud, multiple crashes over the course of any given day. Or tech-support people tell us that everyone using ThinkCell is experiencing the same thing right now. Frankly, that sounds quite surprising and I would like to test if this problem of crashing resonates with all of the other consultancies.

We've been using it for years and it's superb. Sometimes buggy and it makes Sharepoint slow, but worth the occasional pain

Nah thinkcell is gold dust for us

It’s been fine for us. One thing that is known to be glitchy is the feature to auto-sync a think-cell chart on a slide to an excel model, where both the PPT and Excel sit on the cloud (Teams). Many people avoid that by manually entering the values into their think-cell charts. Idk what else in think-cell has a cloud component to it

I don't issues as bad as your describing, but yeah, think cell produces a bunch of bugs with sync

Think cells sucks! We've had it forever and its good for decks but have to deal with sync issues, uldate issues, andkat importantly it slows your computer so much

Yes! At first I was also lured by the promise of faster chart-making, but then the issues it kept having pushed me away from it. I experienced similar problems to what you’re describing. The biggest issues came up especially for large decks where as the number of thinkcell charts increased, the file became impossible to use (super slow and crashing). Especially if we had multiple people in it, forget it.

Thinkcell is messy, but when you figure out all random little quirks, it’s awesome. Sad that it has to be that way, but give it some time and it’s sweet

(Idk what you were using before, but def beats embedded excel charts)

We used mekkographics which is very similar to thinkcell. I’ve used both and think they’re basically the same, but if anyone is using the excel-ppt thinkcell link, they’re gonna have a bad time

Thanks all!

Look at UpSlide, has most of thinkcell’s charting capabilities and lots of other tools to help with deck building
