Slido vs. Splash Event Marketing Platform

It’s particularly suitable for large meetings and town halls, where it can run live polls and make the meeting more interactive. For less formal scenarios, such as small meetings and quick calls, or when the public is not particularly tech-savvy. All in all, it’s a great tool that can fit in a bunch of scenarios.

When we first started using Splash Event Marketing Platform, the platform showed great promise and worked well for our team’s needs. However, over the past year, we’ve encountered issue after issue—many of which are described by support as problems “no one else has ever experienced.” Unfortunately, this has happened frequently, making it difficult to trust the platform for consistent execution.

• 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.

• Their support team is very friendly and helpful. They get back to me within a couple of hours and have lots of resources to help remotely.
• I like being able to check people in on mobile.
• Their templates make it easy to design something cool. I'm not a trained designer, but using Splash templates lets me create cool invitations that look very well designed.

• 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.

• When designing a landing page for an event, the functionality of the layout page is quite finicky. I would love to see the ability to add features to certain text boxes become more fluid.
• The formatting across the layout page is not always consistent, specifically text sizing.
• I had an issue with an account, and the support team took an extremely long time (2+ months) to produce a remedy for the issue I was experiencing.

The ease of use above everything else@ The power of questions used in such a user-friendly way. The fact that everybody now has a cell phone allows this tool to be used everywhere and in all kinds of group interactions. The sheer joy of seeing the results on your phone right away! Transparency rules!

Because easy to interface and easy to manage Splash platform and individual event platform and easy to integrate with third party software such as Adobe Marketo and others softwares. Easy to maintain status and easy to relate with Salesforce campaign through Marketo . Useful in lead capturing and generation and so on we can enable business through splash.

Overall, it is a handy tool. We do not use it too often in meetings; we started using it creatively for quizzes and Q&A with radio/TV audiences. Producers or Sponsors often explicitly request the option to include this particular type of interaction, and we are happy to do so. It helps that the setup is easy, so is copying events, etc. I sometimes miss Switcher (for our live events), but I understand the reasons it was phased out

The platform works, and it is a good system. I think there is always room for improvement. and I would like to see them up their client resolutions when it comes to problems with using the system. and see them take a more aggressive approach to addressing the clients changing needs

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

We love working with our account manager and priority support to answer questions efficiently and speedily. Our account manager works with us on larger and bigger picture initiatives for our instance, where the priority support is always there when you're stuck with a feature or setup, it's been great to share this resource with our global network of hosts internal and external to the company.

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.

The real-time polling and Q&A features are seamless.
Participants can ask questions and vote on them, allowing for dynamic
interaction during presentations. Plus, Slido integrates well with popular presentation tools like
PowerPoint and Google Slides, and the Interface is awesome for both me as a host and for my participants to navigate.

We used to use Eventbrite to manage our events before we were switched into using Splash. It was much easier to use, had a consistent usability structure for creating events and getting users to sign up. While it wasn't as customizable in terms of the landing page or email design, it did the job without any issues. We didn't necessarily select to use Splash, but our event coordinators at Hubspot chose the platform for us! If we could go back, we would.

It very scalable to large pool audiences during live townhall or meetings.

• Positive: We've now been able to track whether people who attend our events eventually become donors to our organization, which is HUGE for measuring event ROI and the time horizons for a donation.
• Negative: Can't think of any negative impacts on our business objectives. It solves the problem it is designed for, and continues to improve.
