Reviews of Slido
Simple yet very entertaining and user-friendly tool!
Pros:
I recommend this for creating polls and surveys for both, adults and children. The questions and answers (and points and statistics) are very nicely and neatly displayed and everyone can participate without having to create an account.
Cons:
There is nothing to complain about, this tool works well and can be used for various occasions and audiences.
Class Feedback
Comments: The Slido app has become an invaluable tool for both my students and me, enhancing our weekly interactions by collecting feedback on their sentiments and experiences. The platform's user-friendly design ensures that students can navigate and respond with ease, fostering a smooth and engaging communication process. This seamless interaction through Slido greatly enriches our classroom environment, making it a favorite for regular use.
Pros:
Great for interaction with my students during class.
Cons:
I'm using the free version and cannot export results. I don't know if it is possible to export results in the paid version
Billing practices challenging - beware
Pros:
This software is integrated nicely into PowerPoint and facilitates audience engagement.
Cons:
Slido is located in Slovakia. In my case, my bank balked at using a business card for their products. I requested an invoice to see if I could pay that way: the only other solution was an overseas bank transfer, which appeared suspicious and unsafe. However, they unlocked the product anyway and billed me later for it - I had no idea that in requesting an invoice, I'd committed to use of the product and payment by bank transfer. This is the only software product I've ever known to give access to a product without payment first: I believed I was using the free version for that reason. I did not use the full functionality of Slido because I did not know I had it but was billed anyway. They've been relentlessly hounding me about this for weeks since then.
Great for teams
Comments: Very positive, I like that people can leave constructive private feedback
Pros:
So easy to interact with a large amount of people at one, great programme
Cons:
Nothing I like everything about slide, especially good for work conferences
The most convenient way to engage audiences
Comments: Slido has made it totally anxiety free for my educational platforms; it allows me set meetings and events, engage attendees and participants, control their interactions, and more importantly, get instant feedback and measure the outcomes of my meetings via polls, surveys, Q&A sessions and many other features. Without Slido, I might not be able to take my webinars and conferences to another level.
Pros:
Slido's user-friendly dashboard allows users to engage attendees in meetings using a bunch of powerful tools, which range from stunning themes and stand-alone settings to polling and voting in Q&A sessions. Slido users can set events in few clicks with much control on the number of participants, moderation settings, and data export. It allows users to protect the privacy of particpants with passwords, or single signing codes as security measures, not found in other alternatives. Slido makes easy for other companies with its integrations to many platforms, mainly Google and Youtube.
Cons:
Its amazing features are only available on paid plans, and that's a limitation for Slido. However, I don't think it is expensive to get.
Satisfied user
Comments: Surprised with all experience I had till now
Pros:
Easy to use Excellent support Great for events and borring meetings
Cons:
There isn't a thing I didn't like using slido
Great tool for Q&A
Comments: Very easy to use, both for me as to set it up, and for my audience.
Pros:
That is very easy to use, creates a code, a link, a QR, all in the same platform!
Cons:
I have no cons in mind when I think about this tool.
Great for conference polling
Comments: No complaints aside from a few suggested improvements for a better user experience (re rooms)
Pros:
Used at an international conference to take audience polls during different sessions. Worked really well. Audience liked it too. Being able to use different question types and save the answers for later anaylisis is great.
Cons:
Not being able to program rooms to activate at certain days or times. Not having a unique QR code for each room - made things complicated.
Alternatives Considered:
Live Polling without Monthly Subscription
Comments: I signed up for their lowest product option for a single event at $60 only and I thought it was an excellent value and product. I was able to even to customize my #code name.
Pros:
The best thing about Slido is to sign up for the service on a case by case basis. Most other companies like it you would have to do a subscription.
Cons:
I'm not that tech savvy, so I wasn't sure how to embed the live poll in my powerpoint slide.
Slido is the best tool for hearing Team's Voice through online Polling & Voting
Comments: Very good experience for all employees from all geographies & demographies.
Pros:
- Great tool for Polling- Finest user experience- Allows privacy through maintaining anonymity of participants names.- Provides instant results for Voting
Cons:
- This is a simple tool, very beneficial for receiving genuine employees feedback. We don't see any shortfalls in it.- However, to make it more dynamic, more features can be introduced to the Platform.

Pros:
