My Take
As a teaching tool, PearDeck is great. I like that I can upload slideshows from Powerpoint and Google Slides that I have already created and add questions to them quickly. The free version isn't limiting at all, which I appreciate, and the students have fun answering the questions. It is easy to use and to teach students and teachers to use as well -- Oh! And it doesn't require students to actually "log in" which is a great time saver!
How I Use It
In classes, we use PearDeck for our classroom read-a-longs and lectures to gauge student understanding and to keep our students accountable and engaged. We have use PearDeck during professional development as well instead of a traditional slideshow to get poll results.

Easily integrate questions into slides
Pear Deck is incredibly user-friendly and offers many free tools. It is easy to embed questions into a slide, and joining the class group is very easy for students. They create a summary of performance at the end of a session as well, which helps review students' progress. For people comfortable with Google Slides, this program is very easy to use to elevate your slidedecks.

Fantastic to use for any type of training or lessons but Pear Deck has access to copy, delete and download your slides once installed
Amazing add-on to google slide but google privacy clearly identifies that Pear Deck (I have only used their free version) can access your slides and sheets (they can delete, download, copy your slides), they can share your data with third parties.
So sadly I have now stopped using it and would be interested to hear if there are any other more secure add ons out there.
