Aventri (formerly etouches) vs Slido

Likelihood to Recommend

eTouches seems to be well positioned to serve those needing event registration for small groups up to large conventions. Events with multiple sessions are very well organized and allows the planners to monitor registration and attendance with ease. One issue we have run into is the ability to give a discount to a specific registrant who signs up a group of individuals. We continue to work for a solution to this.

Slido is well suited when a presenter wants to collect and answer questions from the audience. The questions can be anonymous or have their author identified. The questions can also be filtered by the presenter and can be voted by the audience to be answered first. It's not well suited when the presenter wants that people participate in other ways that's not just asking questions.

Cons

The transition to the new platform has taken some time to get everything functional, but they are working on it and update us regularly.
Reporting has vastly improved!
eSeating uses Flash which doesn't work on iPads... this can be a problem.

Technically, I do not see an area that requires attention.
I wish they'd increase the number of free polls or reduce the fees.

Support Rating

Aventri (formerly etouches) 8.0

Based on 2 answers

I had a few issues while onsite (over the weekend). The support information given to me was incorrect and I had a hard time tracking down how to get assistance while onsite (on a weekend). When you are onsite, issues are usually heightened and need an immediate response, and I didn't get that.

Alternatives Considered

Ffrankly we did not evaluate any other software before getting e-touches and I was not involved in that process, it was before my time. But there are alternatives available. They have improved their interface lately and that is a big positive change. But I recommend evaluating multiple options and selecting what best fits your needs.

Zoom allows Q&A during a meeting. Slido is much more complete and has more features.
