Poll Everywhere vs. Slido

The reasons to use Poll Everywhere: 1. Get rid of those clickers! They eat batteries, need constant maintenance, and ofter walk off at a monetary loss. 2. The pricing model is really easy to manage, the campus/company license will pay for itself even if you only have 5-10 active users. 3. Stop fighting mobile devices in your classroom and start leveraging them. Students can't mess around on social media, texting etc if they are in the PE app. Then situations where Poll Everywhere wouldn't work as well: 1. Not great for multiple part, asynchronous polling, or data collection 2. Areas where there is a limited or absent internet connection. 3. Situations where an audience would lack basic technology such as a cell phone or laptop.

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.

• It's deceptively simple to use. Showing how to use the features, create & modify questions, and viewing polling data, is much easier than it first seems.
• There are a surprising amount of alternate ways to poll users and present questions in more ways than just "Question and 2-4 possible answers." It's pretty easy to customize.
• It's very, very, very easy to use as an attendee. There's not anything complex or invasive in order to sign in and vote in polls.

• 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.

Incentivized

• SSO integration could be a little smoother
• LMS grade integration requires many steps, sometimes frustrates faculty
• New quiz/gaming feature is still not as good as Kahoot - some technical issues in presentations

Incentivized

• 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

It gives High engagement of audience or trainees during live workshops and easily connect with other software. Ease of use for both participants and host for live interaction and workshops.

The one reason I choose a tool for my workshop over other tools is their usability. I need a tool that my audience will be able to use adequately very rapidly. The learning curve has to be very steep. I never have the time to "train" my client on a new tool. They are always in a rush and there should not be anytime wasted in learning how to use a new tool. Slido provides me with great functionalities that are easyly learned in a live environment , be it virtual or in a face to face situation.

I had to use the support for this tool only once. The response was very rapid, very professional and fulfilled my needs immediately. Online support services are sometimes advertised only to lure people into buying the product but and non-existent or difficult to use afterwards. Not with Slido. This was not an automated chatbot and the direct contact really helped me

It was very helpful knowing the software and its features.

I find that training is very informative as it helps understanding the software usages and implementation. It gives the usgaes area and how to create gamification and live Q&A section so that you can use in live team meetings and workshops. It is very useful in training and webinars where a large pool of people are there.

Other than Google Forms (which I utilize heavily, but for different reasons and during different areas) I find Poll Everywhere to be the best at what it offers and does. Options to lock questions, hide or show responses, varying questions/response types, and the ability to let users respond via text message on their phone or through the website/app increase the functionality of the program. The is also the ability to be creative and change poll/question backgrounds, colors and layouts as well as attach/embed images.

I was familiar with Kahoot in the participant view and was actually very fond of it. When Slido became a part of the Cisco Webex offer, I was thrilled to be in a Win-Win position, since I already was a Cisco Webex user and from that point forward, Slido is my engagement tool!
