EventPilot Meeting Platform vs. Slido

EventPilot was well suited for what we used it for.

Slido is great to use for live meetings, whether in person or via video conference; we mostly use this for Zoom meetings. You can use the different features at different times in your meeting: I love to start our All Hands meetings with a word cloud or a poll of some kind, and as people are joining via zoom it gets people feeling excited and connected even before we've started. It also gives us something fun to talk about while we're waiting for everyone to arrive and for the meeting to start. You can do a poll halfway through to keep people engaged, and then a poll at the end to see how you did, or maybe use the Q&A to see what questions come up without having the awkward zoom silence when you ask if anyone has any questions. I don't think this is helpful in smaller meetings, where people likely feel more comfortable interacting directly and asking questions verbally.

• 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

Our support team including Mike Fenn has been excellent. On multiple occasions he and Ed Zawadzki have gone above and beyond to support us with very quick response times. They both are very knowledgeable of the platform and if I were to recommend EventPilot to another association I would explicitly mention the great support I received.

The communication I've had directly from Slido was very professional and sets an excellent impression for the tone of the company.

We had customized apps developed in the past but none worked as seamlessly as EventPilot Conference Technologies does.

It's as simple as just Microsoft Word Visual Basic. We used to use that. Just a lot more cumbersome with the program and setup. Can be buggy depending on the browser operating system that you're running it on. Nothing specific for surveys. This was the first one we got that's officially for a survey that I know of. I've been there for about five years.

• It helps us keep participants' attention during online workshops, which can be long and tiring.
• Slido is a lightweight – it doesn't take forever to load – and intuitive tool, which has been encouraging user participation.
• The learning curve of the tool is very low, which does not discourage users.
