Solution au top, une intégration word serait pratique aussi.
J'adore.

"Disappointed Power User"
I have been an avid user of Office Timeline for 5 years. As a consultant I have introduced it at 6 different companies. I have created amazing timelines for presentations to all levels of management. I even taught Office Timeline tips and tricks to fellow consultants. I currently have a Pro+ license, the same as I have had for a few years. I have not needed Office Timeline for a few months. I recently upgraded my software and dropped a new timeline onto a slide. Features that I used to use and depend on (e.g. custom templates) are no longer available unless I buy the expert version that costs 3x as much. The new version also resists customization. I used to be able to make changes to font sizes using the PowerPoint interface. Now unless I use the style pane, everything reverts back. It's really annoying and disrupts my workflow.
I used to be an evangelist for Office Timeline, but taking features away to force people to upgrade to a more expensive option is a dirty trick in software. I am looking at other software options.

"This tool is very useful to publish…"
This tool is very useful to publish macro schedule in Client or Top Management presentation. The critical path fonctionnality is a key function to gain time and efforts and to facilitate the decision making.

"Great UI within PowerPoint "
UI is great, it makes it very easy to maintain a roadmap within a powerpoint slide, and adjust the view in a few clicks to highlight information depending on the stakeholders. Great value for money when working as a lone product/project manager in charge of the roadmap.
Things I miss:
- in timeline view, allow moving multiple items simultaneously
- maintain multiple slides (with different views) that share the same data in the background

"Project tool of the Century"
Great soft which allows me to present complex schedules on one slide. Always very relevant for my audience. One of the best tools ever to me.

"Good for high level programme visuals - needs a lower priced tier"
I use this tool to create high level visuals for stakeholder presentations and summary documents. My planning is done in the background with heavier duty programme management tools (MS Project/Smartsheets).
It's very effective at doing this. However I feel the current price is significantly higher than it needs to be for the basic functionality I personally need.
More comprehensive tools (Wrike, Monday, Project 1 etc.) are £10/month and offer more. Whilst I appreciate this has grown to be a much larger platform in its own right, that is not the tool that I started using when it was launched some time ago in 2017-ish.
I purchased this originally in 2017 at $49 which was good value for money at the time *with a more limited feature set*, a feature set that is all that I personally need and value.
Now I unfortunately do not get the value out of it that the standard version is asking for, $150 is a lot for my use so I will likely limp on with the free version, which is a shame as I'd like to support the company as it's a great tool.
Tool is brilliant, value for me is questionable.

"I love the tool and we use it a lot"
I love the tool and we use it a lot. The resulting graphic is difficult and unintuitive to format.

Excellent product and only of its type that I know of.
