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
  • 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.

  • 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
  • More integration options should be provided to maximize its use case
  • More customisation features and templates should be added for the polls and quizzes
  • More pricing plans should be introduced so we can chose the plan that suits us perfectly and is more cost-effective

  • 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.

It gives High engagement of audience or trainees during live workshops and easily connect with other software. Ease of use for both participants and host for live interaction and workshops. Since it doesn't require any app to download and can be used via browser. It understands the issue of users and gives updates time to time.

Usability
Cisco
The one reason I choose a tool for my workshop over other tools is their usability. I need a tool that my audience will be able to use adequately very rapidly. The learning curve has to be very steep. I never have the time to "train" my client on a new tool. They are always in a rush and there should not be anytime wasted in learning how to use a new tool. Slido provides me with great functionalities that are easyly learned in a live environment , be it virtual or in a face to face situation.

Support Rating
Cisco
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.

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!

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.
