Overall Satisfaction with Slido

I was able to use Slido in a training presentation. This allowed for user engagement during the training session. I could put a pre-created poll together and then unlock it during the presentation and collect real time data. With this real time data, I can then pivot and move to a new topic, or stay and focus on an existing topic.

Pros

  • Great cost entry point to try it out.
  • Helpful user interface to explain functionality and tools.
  • The ability to turn the survey on and off was seamless....allowing for testing it ahead of time.

Cons

  • Although it was visually appealing, it had kind of a whimsical look to it, which may not sit well in all professional atmospheres.
  • Nothing else bad to share, the software is very well prepared.
  • I have received positive accolades from my colleagues that have been impressed with the professional manner with which polls can be presented to the group during a training session.
Slido is an easier "out of the box" experience. I would equate Slido to being something a 5th grader could use....as opposed to SurveyMonkey possibly needing a 12th grader. This is not to lighten the experience....it simply means that Slido will be more approachable by a wider audience.

I have already shared Slido in a College Composition class that I am in. The teacher was instructing using Survey Monkey, and I presented to the class using Slido as an alternative. The software is user friendly, and simple enough, that it can be used in a class environment for simple teaching on how to start with polls and surveys.
