(1-16 of 16)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.
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
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.
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
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
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
brainstorming with ease by slido
- Quizzes, Q&A and polls.
- Insights of inputs.
- Integration with office apps.
- If there is a co-host to create polls and quizzes.
- Insights sometimes gets buggy but it's improving with each update.
- Maybe reduce the fees.
Slido has saved my company interactions
- The easy use of developing questions.
- That the data is in real time.
- Its functionality in cell phones.
- The results recount system.
Slido for teachers
- Polls
- It would be great if it integrates with Cisco Webex Events
Boring Q/A is now useful and 3X more effective
- crowd interaction
- Question and answer session
- Quick and innovative display of answers
- It takes a dedicated person to run the app
- We have to spend time getting people in the app and logged in to our event
- most people are using a small phone to participate - harder to see and use on the small space
Slido - Valuable addition to a meeting
- Gathering responses from a large number of participants at one time
- Collating results in an easy-to-read format
- Easy to access
- Having multiple people be able to manage Slido during a meeting
Organizing and answering audience question
- Questions can be anonymous.
- Simple to set up.
- Allow to vote for questions.
- It's hard to follow new questions being added to list.
- When the organizer removes the question, it is not visible anymore.
- It would be good to allow grouping similar questions to be answered together.
Slido meets the needs for small to large group presentations involving audience engagement
- Polls - The Slido polls are excellent for gauging the knowledge of your audience.
- Q&A - People can post questions to be answered. These are visible for others to see and can receive votes to push them higher up the priority list of getting answered first. The host can then mark the question as answered once done, so they can move on to the next burning topic.
- Anonymity - Users can post anonymously, giving them confidence to ask questions they may otherwise feel nervous about.
- Slido can be slow on a web browser and I often find I have to use my mobile to effectively run a presentation.
