A Magical Experience
Comments: Setting up an audience response with a variety of option is a breeze and the back-end is very powerful. The attendee experience is super slick on mobile web. We also integrated MeetingPulse with our EventMobi event app, and it worked seamlessly.
Pros:
Easy to setup, lots of features and amazing attendee experience. Most features and settings are really well thought out and can be easily customized.
Cons:
MeetingPulse is designed around the concept of a session, more so than a large event. On the other hand this makes it easy to setup by the admin/speaker or AV person. Perfect for use cases when most of the audience spend time together in one area/session.
Alternatives Considered:
Best Polling Software
Pros:
Meetingpulse allows you to use polling, QA, and taking a "pulse" during a meeting or presentation that is easy to use for both an admin and a user. It's aesthetically pleasing and I was happy to see these capabilities just from the free version.
Cons:
The software doesn't reliability integrate always with Powerpoint in the free version. I've reach out to customer support to see if it's user error (which it very well may be). I will update when resolved.
Think about what you are going to do, be careful
Comments: I would use this again, but I would use the extra available settings so that I could filter out inappropriate responses and also think about how to balance engagement with what will be productive for the learning outcomes I am after.
Pros:
I loved how the software allows audience members to contribute in real time and use their mobile devices. It created a really engaging atmosphere.
Cons:
The audience I was engaging was young and took the opportunity to essentially get a laugh from others by posting profanity. This was my fault. I should not have implemented it in this way.
Alternatives Considered:
Efficient!
Comments: Great customer support, user friendly, easy to learn and teach
Pros:
The ability to upload paperwork means all our team members received notices. It helped us relay information smoothly and efficiently.
Cons:
We haven’t had any complaints yet. The onboarding team made things extremely easy to understand. This was much more efficient than other free trials for audience engagement tools in the market.
Alternatives Considered:
Scalable Cloud-based Meeting Software
Pros:
MeetingPulse has all of the features I required and the pre-sales support was outstanding. So, we invested in the product for our shows and it is great. It gives us unique capabilities in the market that no other entertainment organization has and we find that our customers love it. I would highly recommend this software to any enterprise requiring meeting collaboration software - and the new features keep coming out!
Cons:
I had to learn the user interface, but once I was taught, it was user friendly...
Alternatives Considered:
A useful tool paired with unmatched customer support
Pros:
I liked the ability to create as many test/demo meetings as I needed. Going through this exercise is how I learned the ins and outs of the software and how I was able to show my colleagues and come to a final version for our event that met everyones needs. I also liked the ability to format text (bold/italic/large/small). The availability of tech support however is the most useful feature.
Cons:
I liked least that participant names don't come with the pro plan, you need to upgrade to a higher level
Alternatives Considered:
Easy to use product, isn't worth the price for the frequency that we would use it for
Comments: Good, it was really easy to use which is required when having to teach my staff who are easily intimidated by technology
Pros:
Easy to use, doesn't require users to download anything or use their own data
Cons:
We would only use it for our students maybe 3 times a year We also wanted to be able to have the administrator have a more interactive option. We wanted everyone to answer the question, lock people from changing their answer after we closed the poll and then pull up the results on the main screen so that we could talk about the audience's answers.
Very powerful once you learn it
Pros:
Lets you configure and customize the polls and Q&A modules like no other platform in this area to achieve exactly what you need
Cons:
Takes time to learn what it can do. Not easy at first.
Great software, and worth using
Comments: LOVE IT
Pros:
love the engagement it adds to normally slow meetings
Cons:
i only like certain features, so buying the next level for 1 ability is hard to justify
I can't recommend this enough
Comments: We got the quiet people in the room to speak up through MeetingPulse.
Pros:
Easy to use. Learning curve is a no-brainer. Feature-wise, it's just what we need.
Cons:
There's not much on the cons. I'm very pleased.
MeetingPulse is great!
Comments: My overall experience with MeetingPulse is good but not great. There are a couple of features that are still missing that I wish would be added, but the features that it does have work great.
Pros:
What I like most about MeetingPulse is how clean it looks on our clients Landing Pages. We often add MP onto our clients events to that their attendees can chat with each other and answer polls without interrupting the broadcast. I also love how people can upvote certain comments and questions so they get to the top of the queue.
Cons:
The biggest con about MeetingPulse is that there is no way to private chat other attendees or for a host to private chat someone. While there can be a 'moderator' who is given backend access to MeetingPulse, they really only have the ability to see and remove questions or comments that are not needed.
Alternatives Considered:
Outpacing established engagement tools with an updated platform.
Comments: The experience has been so positive that even after testing it for a few months, I subscribed to an annual plan.
Pros:
MeetingPulse has a modern UI that incorporates the latest trends in online solutions, meaning that it is extremely easy to pick up, use and understand. The number of participants that are included in the subscriptions are higher than competitors which is a great bonus and the tool is easily adaptable for small training sessions to large scale corporate town halls. The customer service (especially the online chat) is excellent and response time is almost instant every time. I've also noticed continuous enhancements to the platform in the time we have been using it meaning the developers are actively at work adding new features.
Cons:
It can sometimes be seemingly random features that require a more premium subscription. For example, instead of making all polling features available at a certain subscription level, you can have a poll and make it a quiz and allow a free text answer and make it a quiz, but if you want to display your options horizontally, then suddenly you need a more premium.
MeetingPulse is excellent for video conferencing
Pros:
MeetingPulse offers a great infrastructure for our internal communication requirements.
Cons:
MeetingPulse could have more flexible pricing options for subscriptions.
Great for Church Conferences, Seminars & Forums.
Comments: We run quite a few conferences, seminars and forums in church for the respective ministries and Meeting Pulse has been a great tool to get better participation from the participants as people tend to be a little shy about asking questions. This tool really helps with that. The other benefit is that i can run feedback polls in real time and adjust schedule and content of the event on the spot. That has helped us a lot.
Pros:
Ease of use for both users and administrators. The design UI looks nice and the overall interface is pleasant to read from.
Cons:
Cost is still difficult for a non-profit to justify on an annual subscription model.
Indispensable for our team work
Comments: Im overall happy and their team is very responsive if there's any help that I need with the setup
Pros:
I like that everyone finds it really easy to use. Also that it pops up right in the browser with no apps to download which makes it easy to get people to use it.
Cons:
The pro version lacks some of the features that i'd like which i think are only available in the enterprise version
MeetingPulse Review
Comments: Again Sales & customer support - great. Software UI/UX nice & a bit funky (hard to have others use it quickly), ultimately advanced or slight customization is tough.
Pros:
Mutli platform, offline, end to end, simplicity for audience, big potential & fast "canned" builds
Cons:
Because it is a significant investment (not just money) to bring this in as an experience shift - getting the C&E level stakeholders to embrace this it has to be real. No video, ppt, near example .... Although Sales and Customer support were great - I needed 3 pieces. Input, Chart, PPT. I had to purchase a high level account to almost get what I needed and then use secondary tools or buy priority. I get it product road map etc. but out of frustration I found I could do everything for free via Google Forms, sheets & slides.
Very nice
Comments: Great customer service
Pros:
It’s fast and user friendly. I really love it
Cons:
Some minor glitches but nothing crazy. Work aroundible
The best polling software
Comments: I had a multi question poll that the other providers couldn't do. MeetingPulse did it and a lot more
Pros:
Flexibility - it can deal with the most complex poll. Customer support is excellent. Easy to use. Good value. And very reliable
Cons:
Nothing - and this is a real review. It did everything I wanted
MeetingPulse Review
Pros:
Our company uses MeetingPulse for contribution of anonymous employee questions, answered on the fly by our CEO at monthly meetings. I enjoy the ease of use, and the ability to not only post questions, but vote up those of greatest interest to me.
Cons:
When employees post additional/supplemental questions or comments for a posted question, I think it would be easier to have it in a dropdown format that doesn't require a different page view.
Use MeetingPulse for your large conferences!
Comments: Great experience, extremely user friendly, real time feedback
Pros:
Super user friendly for both setting up polls and for the end user. Can easily navigate through the pages and is fast. Love the word cloud option and the real time feedback.
Cons:
The order of the poll questions is not consistent from user to user depending on whether they answered a question or not
Meeting Pulse has taken our teams meetings to the next level
Pros:
I loved how intuitive the platform is and how easy it was to get the team to use all of the features. Since implementing MP our team syncs and standups have become WAY more involved and everyone has started to share more ideas about the direction of the company.
Cons:
As of now there aren't really any cons with the platform.
Alternatives Considered:
More functions for normal users
Comments: I really enjoy using Meeting pulse in most of my work.
Pros:
I really like the word cloud function and the basic functions a user have access to such as polling.
Cons:
I really dislike how you have access to one type of poll but some of the features are locked. only available through a higher tier purchase. From a consumer perspective its really a detractor. I understand from a pricing strategy it is great.
Our go to tool for team collaboration and brainstorming
Comments: Helps our team collaborate, share ideas, and execute faster than ever before. We use the software to brainstorm and get feedback from our team members. Definitely helps expand the mind of the organization and engage the team during meetings.
Pros:
Super easy to get started. Can signup, create a meeting, and start collaborating in less than 5 minutes. No more excuses for boring meetings. Perfect for marketing teams or any team that needs to collaborate, create, innovate!
Cons:
You get the tool and a lot of the core features for free which is awesome. If you want all the features and want to bring your meetings to the next level you'll need to buy the paid plans.
Gamechanger
Pros:
Very easy to use and has helped with the engagement with our management and the rest of our staff. Communication has been improved tremendously!!
Cons:
No issues with us yet. So far so good!!
Upgrade to pricing
Comments: We were not able to implement due to cost/benefits
Pros:
The free version provides actual usability rather than a tiny taste of the product designed to limit you until you purchase a pro plan
Cons:
We are a small non profit and ultimately were not able to implement the product due to the giant gap between the free version and the paid version. We needed something in between, that had just one or two of the features available in the paid version (like multiple questions per poll) but not bad enough to justify the huge cost.
