Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review 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 Read full review Cons 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 Read full review 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 Read full review Usability Slido has one of the most intuitive Dashboards I've ever seen. It's easy to use and easy to manage. I've extensively used Polls and Quizzes and it works like a charm, every time.

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.
Read full review 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.
