Because of it's scalability, the RG Employee Engagement Platform works for just about any company. It enables ease of communications, peer shout outs, rewards/recognition and the perks are a major bonus. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a platform like this.

How was it well suited to me? - The leaderboard and freedom to edit the quiz. The fastest finger quiz to announce the winner based on fairness. The ease of login through QR Scanner. Also, it did not pinch my pocket at all. The best part is this $25 earning opportunity via feedback :-). And the list goes on... The less appropriate part was mentioned earlier in ways that I see improvements with Slido, coming to utilize Slido everywhere and in various ways. Overall, I love the AI suggestions.

Cons
Reward Gateway
  • The SmartHub is a bit intimidating BUT end users don't really have to modify it unless they want to, I try not to and my account manager helps with changes.
  • There are honestly no negatives, the platform is amazing

  • I miss the Slack integration; they used to have this and they deprecated it in the last year or so.
  • I believe they have a nice integration for PowerPoint, would be nice if they had something similar with google slides since that is what we typically use internally.
  • We use the word cloud feature often and sometimes answers seem to get lost (as in don't show up at all) on the screen. for example, an answer will be there, then as more answers come in it disappears, and when we get to a certain threshold of answers it somehow pops back up again. It's not the worst but sometimes someone will ping me that their submission didn't make the word cloud and they're bummed.

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. Since it doesn't require any app to download and can be used via browser. It understands the issue of users and gives updates time to time.

Usability

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

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.

TinyPulse was an excellent platform for getting feedback from employees, and having a dialogue with them about it, but less well suited as a communications or recognition platform.

Slido has various upsides when compared to Kahoot or Quizizz. Firstly, Slido offers live video integration so people don't have to switch tabs to interact with us during events or webinars. Secondly, Slido has multiple options like MCQs, rating and ranking for polls which increases its use case. Lastly, its user interface is way easier to navigate for the audeince and the results are in real time. The analytics provided after the meetings are also very helpful.
