Slido vs. Speakap

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.

I would highly recommend this tool set for every business from small to Enterprise in retail, hospitality, and any hourly employee business. It’s a great way for teams that have gaps in communication and accountability to get everyone tuned in. As someone who has had years of experience with HR software in the realm of the service and retail industries, I am really impressed with what Speakap has accomplished.

• Great user interface, very easy to learn and use from the front-end to back.
• Easy for event attendees to access thanks to the intuitive event code system.
• Easy to set up q&a segments, including moderation and reddit-style up-voting to ensure the best questions are seen and answered.

Incentivized

• A chat feature is required especially when using with Webex Events so that attendees only have one app to communicate with event hosts and panelists - currently they use slido app on phones to answer polls etc but have to chat to panelists via Webex webinars / events

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

I haven't evaluated other competitors, as I have seen Slido in action at an event and I was immediately hooked. That being said, I should bee looking at Slido's competitors, just to do my due diligence and ensure I'm familiar with the market landscape. I'm satisfied so far with what Slido's offering.

• 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.
