I find Slido a bit easier to use than Poll Everywhere and other live polling software that I've used. While other software offers similar features, I've found that Slido's setup is a bit more intuitive and makes it easier to duplicate polls you've made for reuse. You get the …
Slido offers better payment plans than the others, but Kahoot is more interactive and better suited for in-person events. Slido has better UI/UX than Mentimeter.
Overall Slido does a good job. Google slides and PowerPoint both need to be integrated with other tools like Polleverywhere, or other tools that add in the engagement features. Otherwise, users will need to create the slides themselves, without the "live" tracking. Overall it …
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
Slido is comparatively more intuitive wherein UI is quite easy to use and follow. Also it has broad mix of poll types available which allows to run multiple types of polls. It has more intergration compared to other alternatives and reporting is quite detailed too. And, I love …
Slido beats Zoom’s built-in polling by offering more interactive features like live Q&A and detailed polls. It works smoothly with Zoom, making webinars more engaging. I chose Slido because it makes meetings more interactive and allows for better audience participation.

Chose Slido
Kahoot feels more like a kids game and I've used it for fun events, it doesn't feel appropriate for a professional setting or workshop. It also doesn't integrate right into Google slides as a seamless part of the presentation.
Slido is an easier "out of the box" experience. I would equate Slido to being something a 5th grader could use....as opposed to SurveyMonkey possibly needing a 12th grader. This is not to lighten the experience....it simply means that Slido will be more approachable by a …
We chose Slido for its real-time engagement, seamless integration, and effective Q&A management, making it ideal for company-wide meetings and training sessions.
Because its more cost effective and as well as it has a great user interface which helps better user and software engagement compared to other software. Quite happy with them and the way they have several features in the software. Secondly, it's efficient and reliable compared …
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 …
As we already work with Cisco that was a big bonus in our decision. But otherwise Slido presented itself as the best candidate as we were already used to it and provided great value, as well it provided integration with other products we use out of the box. And provided …
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!
Before Slido we used in build functionality and tried to customize something in Miro & Figma. Slido is much easier to use and also the in-build analytics are worth using it.
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 …
I think it is the only tool that supports Slovenian language. Slido is working so well, we didn't really consider using other tools, but I see them used in similar scenarios. We are also unlikely to change due to GDPR. We know Slido is still based in Slovakia (although sold to …
Our former system morphed into some other company I have not kept up with. They were costly, inattentive and flat out tried to back-charge us thousands of dollars. I really haven't looked back and am ridiculously loyal to ThunderTix
AudienceView has some of the oldest and least efficient user interfaces I have ever seen. Theres 5 different websites for the same account to access different things that are all interlinked and need to be accessed together. Ticket Spice charges a higher per ticket cost for …
I have looked at Event Brite. I have looked at a number of others, who I do not wish to list. I actually thought that most have a lot to offer and are probably great, but none fit us the way that Thundertix does. It would take a hell of a sales pitch to take us away.
Thundertix may not have all of the features as something like eventbright or bands in town, but the amount we are saving daily makes up for some of the features that may not be present. We are a small intimate venue so Thindertix is the best fit for our organization.
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.
It is the cheapest and easiest to use platform, especially when compared to Ticket Spice and AudienceView. Ticket Spice is full of microtransactions and AudienceView's user interface is decades old and completely inefficient. Thundertix is easy to use and the prices are reasonable for ticket sales and supplemental packages for your account.
Site is easy to use for both our customers and for us using in the back office
Platforms are aesthetically pleasing and easy to integrate
Thundertix rarely, or even never has any glitches. We have significant data relying upon Thundertix, and I am more than satisfied.
The management and/or ownership at Thundertix is fantastic to work with. They truly care. They have even added specific features that are available to all clients based on some of the needs that we have.
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.
We pay a premium for the over the phone customer service. Thundertix is at such a good price point it’s worth it to pay the extra for this service. Their online customer service s great, but it can be difficult to get your point across sometimes without talking to someone on the phone.
Thundertix does not currently have any text message features in place. I hope to see that in the future.
Thundertix has many features and it can be difficult to utilize all of the features because there are just so many and they aren’t all intuitive.
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!
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
It's straightforward and, for the most part, easy to use and navigate. When there is an issue or problem that arises, support is usually very helpful in navigating us in the right direction. It keeps everything in order and on track, and is easy to use when trying to track down a client or previous purchases, which is important to our company
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
They are quick to respond to both calls and email. They also have a robust online set of documentation and tools that offer the possibility of finding your own answer. But, even if you don't use it, ThunderTix never asks the "did you check our online resources" questions. They never complain about emails or calls. They are there to help and do a fantastic job!
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.

Slido helped us increase student engagement which resulted in improved academic results for our students
The Q&A feature helped us answer questions we received from parents and audeince during live events which resulted in increased admissions in our educational institution
The gamification of polls and surveys helped us attract a lot of audience and made the meetings interactive
