(1-25 of 42)Slido maximizes meeting time and engagement!
- Live audience interaction and increasing engagement
- Integrates well with PowerPoint
- So easy to create as well as use
- Its a little slow and laggy at some points but on the whole it is ok, could be other things causing the issue
Greatest engagement platform that I have used
- Slido integrates well with Microsoft PowerPoint which is very much useful for us.
- The post poll dashboard reports are very much insightful.
- Shareable links are created easily with Slido. Also, this saves a lot of time and manual effort for us.
- The ability to interact with this application via a smart phone needs some improvement.
- I feel the cost of the product is slightly high and can be reduced.
- More anonymous options should be introduced in the instant feedback menu.
Slido FTW at in-person, virtual, and hybrid events
- Word clouds to get an idea of what attendees are thinking
- Polls to get people voting and interacting
- Easy to use for both event hosts and attendees
- Slido's UI is easy, but it could be more polished/beautiful
- More seamless integration with Google Slides
Our business meetings and trainings are more fun with Slido.
- Live polls are great.
- Slido code to ask any question during the event.
- I love that it has dark mode as well.
- I didn't understand on what basis text is bigger or smaller in the word cloud. That's confusing for me. Maybe Slido can think about it.
Slido makes our meetings more engaging!
- Meeting Engagement
- Post survey results
- Easy to use and access
- I don't have experience with other similar platforms, but the features I utilize now are to my satisfaction
Make your meetings and webinars lively and interactive with Slido's polling and Q&A features
- Its integration with various Webex apps like Webex Meetings and Webex Webinars and leading softwares like Zoom and Google Slides
- Its simple user interface and eye-catching graphics
- The detailed analytics it provides of the polls and surveys conducted and the ability of exporting them
- The ability of integrating live video into Slido so participants dont have to switch tabs
- Participants can ask questions anonymously or with their names without having to unmute themselves and disturbing the flow of the meeting
- More integration options should be provided to maximize its use case
- More customisation features and templates should be added for the polls and quizzes
- More pricing plans should be introduced so we can chose the plan that suits us perfectly and is more cost-effective
Attendee interaction made easy
- Great engagement analytics
- Easy and effective polling
- Q&A interaction with presenters
- Lack of live discussions
- Limited free version
The BEST tool for engagement
- Quiz
- Live polls
- Feedback survey
- Q&A
- World Cloud
- No video format support
- Usage of images is limited
- Lag (not often though)
Make meetings more interactive
- Real Time Polling with large audiences
- Upvoted Q&A
- Analytics after events
- Integrations with i.e. PowerPoint and Google Sheets
- Easy to use for admins and participants
- Pricing Model - free version is quite limited and the package prices can be more attractive for SME companies
- User Interface Complexity - the UX in the backend is good, but sometimes I am confused to find a specific function
- Real time translation would be great in terms of accessibility
In small team meetings, Slido is sometimes overkill and could stifle the flow of conversation. The same applies to "hands-on" workshops.
A quick and intuitive audience engaging experience
- It allows people to keep up with the pace of the explanations by engaging in questions
- It integrates with presentation softwares such as Microsoft Powerpoint and Google Slides
- It has multiple templates that allow a quick setup and use
- I would like it to integrate with Zoom Meetings, since it is the most popular web conferencing tool among our clients
With Slido we have more interaction during our meetings
- The Slido overview is very helpful for us to understand the engagement level of our audience during the meeting.
- The multiple options to get feedback, answers, to interact with the audience (i.e., Live poll, Audience Q&A). The templates library is brilliant!
- The possibility to answer and ask to questions and provide feedback anonymously.
- There's no option to edit a response to a live Q&A or Poll.
- There's no Keynote integration on mac.
- I love Slido, it is easy to use and integrate, but I'd like to see more customization options.
However, it is less appropriate in smaller meetings, as integrating and customizing Slido takes more time than the actual meeting time with a few people.
Slido is Great for Large Groups
- Allowing people to participate anonymously
- Great display
- Easy interface for beginners
- Allowing more features for the free version
- Most customization for display
Slido Review
- It just works. You put up a survey, you put in what you wanted to say in multiple-choice or enter your own free type. And it just works. It's easy to get the results back instantaneously, as well as providing some visualization, pie charts, graphs, that kind of thing, and see what's in the lead. It could be as simple as picking what kind of food for the next company, pizza or tacos or whatever, and it kind of rates them and it just works. That's what's intended.
- I think maybe visually to have different skins for it, just to kind of add some additional flare company logo, you know, something that would make it more customized for your organization. Or even just stylizing, like if it's a Cinco de Mayo party, you a Mexican theme, stuff like that I think would be nice. But that's all just flare, functionality wise it's flawless.
Great for quizzes and Q&As, easy to use
- Quizzes with Leaderboards
- Q & As
- Branding and embedding
- In a poll with 2 simple questions, I would like to have an option to show all results (not just of the one, selected).
- Support for Powerpoint on Mac is still missing, I think....
easy solution to for great results
Sometimes simply to get some comments on the workshop.
Sometimes as a survey tool .
I also use the Word cloud regularly to summarize an event.
A new application is to use the Q&A function during codevelopment workshop.
- Very easy to set up
- The integrated QR code generator is awesome
- Very easy to understand for users
- Several options to share the links ( hyperlink, QR code, full slide etc)
- Very easy to integrate in a ppt
- Possibility to have longer comment in the Q&A function
- Limited export function in the basic version
E.g. In codeveopment sessions , there is a step when participants must write questions on a notepad and then share questions as a group. Using the Q&A function in Sli.do we can all interact and vote for questions that were already written. This saves a lot of time compiling !!
- gathering feedback
- ranking options
- Additional scoring types
- Ability for the host to ask more questions/polls
Slide to the left
- Collaboration
- Q&A
- is a little basic
- archiving Of answers for later sharing
- Desktop integration
- Polls during presentations
- Managing questions & answers
- Capturing challenges or ideas from participants
- Free version is limited
- Presenter-facing interface could improve on UX
- Roll-out of new features could be more frequent and regular
Slido - Making Meetings Fun Again!
- Stability
- Ease of scheduling
- Analytics
- Plenty of polls, surveys, question options
- Would like a unique portal for Webex users without going to Slido main page (you have choose Webex login)
- More options to embed media
Slido is an event tool with a great UI that makes things easy on event staff and attendees!
- Great user interface, very easy to learn and use from the front-end to back.
- Easy for event attendees to access thanks to the intuitive event code system.
- Easy to set up q&a segments, including moderation and reddit-style up-voting to ensure the best questions are seen and answered.
- The data exporting section could be simpler.
- The actual data exported from Slido can sometimes be a bit messy and less straightforward than one would expect.
SLIDO AND WEBEX
- quiz
- survey
- word cloud
- Integration with Powerpoint
- In-meeting polling
- In-meeting Q&A
- In-meeting engagement
- I miss the Slack integration; they used to have this and they deprecated it in the last year or so.
- I believe they have a nice integration for PowerPoint, would be nice if they had something similar with google slides since that is what we typically use internally.
- We use the word cloud feature often and sometimes answers seem to get lost (as in don't show up at all) on the screen. for example, an answer will be there, then as more answers come in it disappears, and when we get to a certain threshold of answers it somehow pops back up again. It's not the worst but sometimes someone will ping me that their submission didn't make the word cloud and they're bummed.
Slido + Webex = Awesome
- gives immediate interactive feedback inside meetings
- has great downloadable analytics as well as online graphical reports
- works easily on mobile inside a Webex or independent of a meeting or using Microsoft Teams or Zoom
- I'd like the QR code to be scanned from INSIDE the app. Why only be able to enter the code? Let us use the camera inside the app to scan and launch Slido
- a few more fun graphics
Q&A made easy
Slido provided that and has allowed us to moderate and reply easily. The choice of QR code or the event hash tag to connect means 99.9% of people can use it with no trouble at all as most people are familiar with both concepts.
The fact that people can ask questions anonymously is another big plus for the environment we use Slido in.
- Scheduling events easily
- QR codes
- Very stable
- Post event analytics
- Webex integration can be a little slow at times
- Changing between Slido sessions in Webex on the side ribbon can be confusing
Easy and effective to tool to gather data
- Intuitive and easy to-use web interface
- plenty of question type options
- easy to copy and modify exasting questionnaires
- The visualisation of results can be more visually pleasing
- More options to imbed media (such as images or videos)
