Overall Satisfaction with Slido

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

So we have conference calls which generally people are doing other stuff and being bored and stuff. So one of the things they'll do is have a survey at the beginning. It can be as simple as What's your favorite color? Or it could be as complicated as work-related IT stuff. And that keeps everybody engaged, especially if there are prizes and you do it throughout the conference to kind of keep people engaged as well as a little bit of an entertainment factor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

It just works. You put up a survey, you put in what you wanted to say in multiple-choice or enter your own free type. And it just works. It's easy to get the results back instantaneously, as well as providing some visualization, pie charts, graphs, that kind of thing, and see what's in the lead. It could be as simple as picking what kind of food for the next company, pizza or tacos or whatever, and it kind of rates them and it just works. That's what's intended.

Cons

I think maybe visually to have different skins for it, just to kind of add some additional flare company logo, you know, something that would make it more customized for your organization. Or even just stylizing, like if it's a Cinco de Mayo party, you a Mexican theme, stuff like that I think would be nice. But that's all just flare, functionality wise it's flawless.

Return on Investment

Alternatives Considered

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think if you were to have too many on a particular call, three is the magic number. If you have three you're gonna maintain that engagement. But I think if you were to just overuse it or use it for everything, like every single meeting there's gonna be like 10 polls. I think overuse would be kind of a negative. But like I said, for team meetings and just a quick survey, it's anonymous too if you want it to be, so that's helpful. But for surveys, it's top-notch.
