Slido vs. Zoom Events & Webinars

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.

I had an issue with my calendar syncing to Zoom Workplace for a while, that was annoying, but it resolved itself someway. Maybe an update. The invite feature is week when in a call, my team never receives them, I manually always have to send a link. I also do not get Zoom call notifications so I am late to meetings often. Too much work to manually find that feature, wish it was a default setting like Teams. I prefer Zoom Workplace because I think it works faster, is smoother, and I prefer the video settings UI over other platforms. Everyone else makes it too complicated to change backgrounds or blur as necessary. The adjustment for low light is also a huge win.

• 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.

• I will we could add registration disclaimer language to the Webinar templates.
• Some of the customization and setup features are difficult to find.
• I would like to add someone to help me run webinars without paying for them to have their own webinar platform. We should be able to buy one platform and both of us log into it and setup and run webinars from it.

We will be renewing with Zoom as long as it continues to meet our needs for client and lead outreach needs in a robust manner. With little error and an easy to use interface, Zoom has met our needs and exceeded our expectations. The cost is right and with a short learning curve, Zoom has been an easy decision to make and maintain.

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

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

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.

Zoom is a good option compared to these other softwares as it is more universally accepted. The advantage of this is that most people use Zoom, making it easier to arrange a call with external stakeholders. Microsoft Teams is often very unreliable, and Zoom seems to work more consistently compared to the other options.

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