Overall Satisfaction with Slido

Pros

  • It allows anonymous questions, so everyone feels comfortable speaking up.
  • It keeps meetings interactive and helps collect feedback very effortlessly.

Cons

  • Due to the limited customization possibilities for polls and Q&A formatting, it can be challenging to fit branding or particular requirements.
  • It's hard to control and moderate a lot of questions, particularly at major events.

  • We saw increased engagement from users from live Q&A and polls
  • Instant feedback helps meetings go in right direction and doesn't divert
  • We have save a lot of time and focused on right content
It is easier to use, has better interaction, and has a Q&A platform. Slido has an anonymous Q&A feature which Microsoft doesn't have.
