Slido vs. ThunderTix

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.

Thundertix is a wonderful program for tickets and events. The low cost makes it affordable and practical. Allowing the venue to retain profits.

• 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

• Excellent customer service.
• Listens and responds to customer suggestions and implements changes based on user community suggestions.
• One of the easiest systems to use. We tried several and this was the easiest we found by far.

• 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

• For the money, I honestly don't have a single critique. Some of the larger companies offer a few more features, but we believe that most of those bells and whistles are not worth a significant increase in price.
• Our venue is a 160 seat venue. Thundertix is ideal for this. I do not know how Thundertix would translate to a 15,000 venue. It is not what we deal with. We are involved in some higher ticket events, but those are all General Admission so I do not have to deal with 15,000 reserved seats.

We have been with them for over a decade and have no interest in leaving.

ThunderTix is designed to work where you need it to work regardless of device or platform.

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

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!

It was an easy transition that took less than a month from planning to implementation

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.

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 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.

Incentivized

• They make us extremely profitable
• The pricing with Thundertix is far less than most of their competitors. This allows the venue and the artist keep more of the ticket sales. That is what we want.
