Slido vs Audience Response Systems Comparison

the ability to actively engage the audience during a presentation

There are no aspects of the product that are difficult to use or of little use

Thank you for taking your time to review Slido, Franco. We appreciate the positive feedback and are glad that it's useful for your presentations. Best, Filipa

You can see responses in real time (cloud). The audience was entertained with the outcomes and learn the key words of the presentation.

It is hard to learn how to use it and too many steps. I had a colleague explained the different steps and tried several times.

We use Slido for various conferences (the audience can post questions for the speakers) and at work for company-wide meetings. It's easy to set up and use, both for admins and for the audience. The audience can post questions anonymously, which might be easier for some sensitive topics.

If you need Moderation, it's quite expensive, but if you're a non-profit organisation, you can apply for a discount.

Very easy to use and very helpful for audience feedback

At this moment for the use I have given it, nothing is missing

Hi there, Many thanks for this positive review, we're really happy to hear that you are content with Slido and our feedback feature. Your support is much appreciated. Thanks, Filipa.

I like most of the features of Slido. It is extremely accessible. The word cloud makes audience have a voice. Interface between The presentation mode and entry. Registration easy.

Less options to moderate and continue discussions

Easy to use for the audience and straightforward to set up.

For polls it would be good to change response times for all questions at the same time, instead of selecting each one in turn.

Very easy to use and allows live time polling with an audience.

I had no issues with the free trial version.

The product is user friendly, so easy to implement, to allow for maximizing audience engagement. Integration in presenting with PowerPoint slides over Zoom, seamless transition.

At this time, I have nothing to report as I like it all!

Hi Eleonora, Many thanks for this positive review, we're really happy to hear that you are content with Slido and the engagement it provides. Your support is much appreciated. Thanks, Filipa.

Very easy to use. No guidance needed. Anonymously typing questions over publicly asking questions led to a higher audience engagement. Option to vote up a question by audience ensures that most popular questions get answered.

No issues. My first time using the application and felt like an awesome solution to the Q & A problem experienced at events

Easy to use, no need to explain a lot to the audience

Poll and Q&A shoud be vice versa in order to start with polls and later look at Q&A

Hi Anke, Many thanks for this positive review, we're really happy to hear that you are content with the ease of use and the interaction it brings. Your support is much appreciated. Thanks, Filipa.

Easy Interaction during presentations and video conferences, features like live polls and anonymous question submission, security are easy to execute.

It can be slow and can crash if browser connectivity is weak.

We give each feature idea or feedback to our product and development teams, so I'll be sure to share your pains with Slido speed and crashing issues. If you have any more questions or comments, please feel free to reach out to us at support@slido.com

Live Q&A and response summary, ease of use

I wouldn't say its a con, but I would love to have a bit more than just 3 questions for single user.

Extremely easy to set up and use and succeeded in good audience participation

There were a couple of instances where there was a delay in clicking results and them displaying

Hello Lee. Thank you for your review of Slido. We're happy to see that Slido helps with your audience participation. I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced some issues with delays. Have you already discussed this with us? If not, I'd be happy to discuss this further, please feel free to send us an email at experience@slido.com. Best, Adam

It’s easy to use for both an admin and for the audience. There’s no confusion

Keep event locked down and questions unopened prior to event lest someone guess event code and put silly / naughty responses in

The simplicity! The tool helps me engage my my audience with word cloud and Q&A

It's not integrated with zoom or ON24, can't leverage it with my webinars. Mostly in-person events.

Live Response Sharing. Ease of use in creating software and sharing results.

The way to embed Slido in powerpoint presentation could be easier.

Very easy to set up and share with your audience and it can be used on any device

Well of course the fact that you have to pay at some point

I like the ease with which it took to master it. It's intuitive and in an Online Training session it's quick to launch and get feedback. It doesn't intimidate first time users. I also like the analytics and post event feedback.

Perhaps a few extra templates but really was happy enough with selection.

Hi there, Many thanks for this positive review, we're really happy to hear that you are content with Slido and it's ease of use. Your support is much appreciated. Thanks, Filipa.

Simple to use, both for the event organiser/presenter and the audience. People can use it without the need to explain them how it works. I got more questions from the audience because Slido helped me to involve people who are otherwise afraid of speaking on the mic.

There is nothing specific that comes to my mind.

I loved the ease of use and the instantaneous response times. Kind customer support.

For questions which have many options - docking the column header would be great because currently it moves out of view.

Hi Martin. Thank you for your review. Our customer support team is really doing their best so we really appreciate you giving them a shout-out. I'd also love to learn more about your suggestion regarding the "docking the column header". Could you please send me an email to experience@slido.com so we can discuss this further? Thank you. Best, Adam.

The best thing about Slido is the polls and online q&a feature. The polls in Slido are so easy that I use that feature to hold polls in our team even when there is no meeting. The Q&A feature in Slido allows us to have interactive Q&A sessions with the audience because the audience can vote for the Questions such that they come up in the list and that allows us to reduce duplicate questions during large audience meetings.

The events in Slido can be scheduled only for a limited time. I usually restart ended events again and again to bypass that. It would be great if we can keep events for a more extended time. I couldn't find an option to do so.

Hi Chamaru, Many thanks for the positive review, we're really happy to hear that you are content with Slido and its ease of use. Your support is much appreciated. In regards to your comment about limited time, our paid plans allow you to keep an event open for up to a year. Hopefully this helps! Thanks, Filipa.

Very quick download and set-up Seamless integration with PowerPoint Customisation of user passwords Free if only using three polls Multiple options for polls and results

Review of polls only allows one question at a time

Hi Chris. Thanks for your review, it's great to hear that you enjoy using Slido along with our PowerPoint integration that we're still constantly working on improving. Regarding your comment - it is true that we allow only one poll at a time with our Basic plan. With all our paid plans, you can also create a "Survey" which allows you to run multiple polls at once. If you have any further questions, please feel free to let me know at experience@slido.com. Many thanks for your support. Adam.

I liked how Slido allows quickly and easily check the pulse during an online event.

I found navigation and turning polls on/off a bit cumbersome, but other than that it looks like a tool that needs to be integrated with online event tools by default.

As a higher education institute instructor, Slido is extremely handy in engaging my students, and receiving their responses instantly, which is very efficient in terms of classroom time management. Also, Slido is visually appealing to them, and they like to see their classmates' answers as well on screen.

Thus far, I have not encountered any problems using Slido.

I most liked the fact that the audience does not need to register with Slido to be able to participate in polls and surveys.

There is a bit of a lag between when the administrator goes to present results, and the actual results show. I wish this could be speeded up a bit.
