Cisco
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.

The capability to check in customers using a simple phone app allows offloading a lot of box office tasks to unskilled ushers and volunteers. It's just circumspect for all our ticketing needs.

Pros
Cisco
  • Its integration with various Webex apps like Webex Meetings and Webex Webinars and leading softwares like Zoom and Google Slides

  • The detailed analytics it provides of the polls and surveys conducted and the ability of exporting them
  • The ability of integrating live video into Slido so participants dont have to switch tabs
  • Participants can ask questions anonymously or with their names without having to unmute themselves and disturbing the flow of the meeting

  • Thundertix is a WONDERFUL price that allows us to sell more tickets and increase our profits. The pricing of Thundertix is lower cost than anything else in the market.
  • Thundertix is always innovating and adding to features relevant to the current market.
  • Thundertix has great customer service, especially if you are willing to pay the premium price for over the phone customer support.

Cons
Cisco
  • Pricing Model - free version is quite limited and the package prices can be more attractive for SME companies
  • User Interface Complexity - the UX in the backend is good, but sometimes I am confused to find a specific function
  • Real time translation would be great in terms of accessibility

  • 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.

Slido has one of the most intuitive Dashboards I've ever seen. It's easy to use and easy to manage. I've extensively used Polls and Quizzes and it works like a charm, every time.

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'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 officially for a survey that I know of. I've been there for about five years.

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 most ticket price ranges. ThunderTix is a flat rate while ticket spice is a percentage.
