Impact on Organizational Challenges

Slido has certainly helped us overcome the organizational challenge of retaining audience engagement, particularly with larger internal meetings. It's easy to keep an audience of 10 or 20 employees engaged, but not so easy for 500. With Slido's live polling and q&a solutions from Cisco, the …

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Slido is used to keep the audience engaged during our meetings and webinars. We also use it for post-event analytics and surveys. It does a great job for us on a regular basis. I appreciate the ease of use that comes with it.
Pros and Cons
  • Stability
  • Ease of scheduling
  • Analytics
  • Plenty of polls, surveys, question options
  • Would like a unique portal for Webex users without going to Slido main page (you have choose Webex login)
  • More options to embed media
Likelihood to Recommend
Slido is best for webinars where you need to keep the audience engaged, especially those that are longer. It is not ideal for shorter meetings or those with a few teammates I believe.
Most Important Features
  • Live results
  • Easy to use interface and integration
Return on Investment
  • Makes the daily meeting grind more enjoyable
  • Increases participation

Impact on Organizational Challenges
Simplified and enhanced the hybrid work experience for our end users. End users can typically work when, where, and how they want. Having the same experience across devices has helped.
Hybrid Work Experience
Hybrid work has given the teammates to the opportunity to interact and collaborate in many ways and on their schedule (or someone else's) too. The hybrid work model has brought everyone together, it's growing and changing everyday. Quite frankly, you cannot hide from it now and there are not many excuses someone could supply to not be connected at work.

Slido is an event tool with a great UI that makes things easy on event staff and attendees!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Slido is currently being used across the whole organization, as multiple departments and divisions use it for internal meetings such as a divisional meeting, as well as external meetings like conferences, working groups, and other events (both in person and virtual). It addresses the business problems of running question and answer segments of events, as well as improvised polls and surveys within an event.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
  • The data exporting section could be simpler.
  • The actual data exported from Slido can sometimes be a bit messy and less straightforward than one would expect.
Likelihood to Recommend
Slido is well suited for any event where computers or smartphones are present alongside a cellular or internet connection. This includes internal events such as a company-wide meeting or divisional meeting, possibly even for larger departments as well. Likewise for external events such as large conferences and working groups. Slido would be less suited for meetings among members of a small team or an external meeting with a very limited number of attendees, as matters would likely just be discussed and voted on verbally.
Return on Investment
  • We've had customers give feedback saying the tool was helpful and easy to use.
  • We've had employees tell us that Slido was a great addition to the bigger internal meetings.
  • External event attendees have told us Slido makes voting on items easier than past tools used.
Alternatives Considered
Our company has been more old fashioned in the past, using college-style clickers connected to Microsoft Powerpoint, or even physical cards being raise like an auction! Slido is one of many ways that our company has moved into the 21st century, resulting in a much better expereience for our customers and employees.

Impact on Organizational Challenges
Slido has certainly helped us overcome the organizational challenge of retaining audience engagement, particularly with larger internal meetings. It's easy to keep an audience of 10 or 20 employees engaged, but not so easy for 500. With Slido's live polling and q&a solutions from Cisco, the audience is continually engaged throughout these internal events.
Hybrid Work Experience
Using Slido for live polling and q&a, we have experienced a seamless integration of interaction with our internal and external audiences. Long gone are the days of using physical clickers to vote for various business proposals! I also appreciate how the q&a can be anonymous, not anonymous, or a blend of the two.
Other Products Considered

That being said, I can compare it to older and more outdated tools we have used at physical in-person events in the past, and Slido is much simpler and easier to use, on both sides.
