Complete digital event engagement all in one platform
We are happy to use Slido to have polls and Q&A sessions. That's the easiest platforms for the specific job.
PROSThe 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.
CONSThe 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.
Reasons for switching to Slido
This platform is a lot easier to manage and packs all you need for polls during an event.

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.

Easy for participants
Overall, easy to set up and use. Like that it's easy for participants to join. A little pricier than other formats but comparative. Please pursue universities to purchase a campus-wide plan!
PROSEasy to integrate with PPT. Easy for users to enter the quiz with QR code. Love the Q&A feature. Interested in moderation feature with upgraded plan.
CONSDifficult to get approved by Cyber Security folks through university. Please be more aggressive in providing security assurances to higher ed institutions to make it easier for employees to try and implement software. Also would like question limit on free plan to be a little higher, even if on a trial period basis. Would like to have a free trial period of some of the premium features.
Reason for choosing Slido
I'm still in the decision phase, so I haven't yet.
Reasons for switching to Slido
Needed a free plan allowing more participants. Wanted to also test a different product for ease of use.
Vendor Response
Hi Janna, Thank you for taking out the time to leave us a review- it's much appreciated as it helps us grow and improve. We're happy to hear that overall you were satisfied with the product. We offer dedicated EDU plans that are discounted, have a look at https://www.sli.do/pricing?plan=edu and maybe some would be a good fit. Note that we offer a 30 day money back guarantee (no questions asked) if you find out that the features don't match your use-case. We have a number of cyber security certificates already in place and are always working on improving our privacy and security. Perhaps this page might be helpful for your security team - https://www.sli.do/security. Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with and hopefully Slido can serve you well into the future :) Best, Filipa

Great for Engaging Students
Again, using the free version, I haven't had any negative experiences with Slido and have already made other teacher colleagues aware of this app they can use with their own virtual classes.
PROSI like the fact that I can keep students actively engaged and monitor student learning throughout a virtual live lesson. I also really enjoy seeing the results from the questions/polling that I do with students in real time.
CONSAs a teacher, it is a bit pricey, which is why I only use the free version. In the free version, we only get 3 slides to use with slido without any images.

No better way to get attendees to become participants
I've always had an excellent experience with Slido and I've been using is as a speaker, session participant and event organiser for 4-5 years. The system is solid and really flexible.
PROSI like how simple Slido is to use (one URL + one hashtag, or scan a QR code > instantly usable on any browser). I also like how many options it has (quite a few but not overwhelming) and the way it can help instantly visualise data. It can be a simple tool to receive questions but can also facilitate instant data analysis.
CONSI think Slido gets it just right when it comes to usability. I would like to see some updates on the look and feel, and I think one or two more visualisation options would be welcome.
Reason for choosing Slido
Great team behind the product, simple to use yet very powerful.

Slido is the best tool for hearing Team's Voice through online Polling & Voting
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.

Not over engineered and quick set up.
It help liven up online presentations. It also helped get a real feel for the true feelings of the audience.
PROSI 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.
CONSPerhaps a few extra templates but really was happy enough with selection.
Reasons for switching to Slido
The initial learning curve was too hard with mentmenter. I felt it wasn't as intuitive as Slido.

A great tool for educators & audience
Slido is a favorite tool for all of my meetings. It is easy to make meetings more fun and interactive with Slido. I prefer Slido because it's simple to use. Its integration with Powerpoint makes it a go-to choice for me.
PROSSlido's best features are the polls and online Q&A. It is really easy to integrate with PPT. Slido's polls are so simple to use that I use them to hold polls in my team even when there isn't a meeting. The audience can vote for questions to appear on the list, reducing duplicate questions.

Live Polling without Monthly Subscription
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSI'm not that tech savvy, so I wasn't sure how to embed the live poll in my powerpoint slide.
Reason for choosing Slido

Best solution to make your meeting Interactive
Slido was a favorite tool in my all meetings, I use this to make meetings more fun and interactive, though many applications have inbuilt Q&A feature, I would go with Slido because it's easy to use and especially for the upvoting feature in the Q&A. Polling feature is also one of the recently used features and it's really easy to use.
PROSI like most the features they introduced, especially the Q&A and polling feature which makes all the meetings so interactive, and upvoting to the questions is the lacking feature in the competitor's platform. The recent feature which analyse the keyword and displaying the word wrap is again useful and the interesting fact is the most of the tools can use it free to an extend.
CONSIf the trial version is more then it would be easy to try out all the features and would help to understand the potential and buy the subscription. Also, the subscription price is a bit high when comes to a single user, if it is paid as you use, it would be great. Initially, when I used the product it was a bit hard to understand how to use the platform, it would be better an animated tutorial when sign-up happens.
Reasons for switching to Slido
Kahoot loading time is very slow and mostly browser stuck while playing and required good system capability to do the Meeting Online. Kahoot is easy and fast to use. Account creation and collaboration i felt more use in slido.com

We needed help building more interaction in our Virtual Classroom....and Slido was the answer
Slido has made our virtual classroom more interactive. The ease of use, combined with the reliability of the product has made it an important part of how we deliver our learning programs.
PROSWe've been using Slido to increase interaction in our virtual classroom since the start of the pandemic. We were used to conducting quick pulse checks with our learners and Slido has made this easy. We love the word cloud feature to gather group sentiment around different topics. The tool is very easy for all of our learners to use and offers multiple access points - via web url or QR code. I've never had issues with the tool - very reliable.
CONSIt took at little while to determine the best way to share our Slide screens in presentations but I would chalk that up to user error, not a fault of the product.

Best tool for live and online events
I use Slido ever since I saw it at a conference. User experience is great both for the presenter and the audience. Numerous integrations with Powerpoint, Google Slides, Zoom help make presentations seamlessly interactive. I also love the fact it supports my mother language.
PROSSlido events are easy to set up and even easier to use. Of all the tools I used at live and online events, Slido brings the highest interaction rates.
CONSI wish I could mark questions in a survey as required. This is not an option just yet. It would be useful for me.
Reason for choosing Slido
I was so happy with the design and functionalities i did not look further. I am familiar with Kahoot! and Mentimeter, but none does the job for me.

Slido is a lightweight tool to make your presentations more interactive with Q&A and polls
I use Slido as a sidekick to my presentation software such as Google Slides. It's easy to add the Slido plugin to Slides, and share the QR code with the participants of my event. Audiences love being engaged during a workshop or training session, so Slido does exactly that, it provides and opportunity for them to interact with the content and the presenter by asking questions, participating in polls or sharing their ideas. Typical use cases for Slido in my work: 1. Workshop or training session 2. Pitch session 3. Expert speech session/talk
PROSSlido is a lightweight support tool to make your presentations more interactive with Q&A, polls and ideation. It works with any presentation software you use, such as Google Slides, MS PowerPoint or OSx Keynote. You are able to create a session in Slide securely and share the QR code/link with the participants. In the free version of Slido, your participants can add challenges, questions and ideas before or during the session. They are also able to participate in a limited number of polls.
CONSFree version is limited. Presenter-facing interface could improve on UX. New feature roll-out could be more frequent and regular.

Used for classroom presentation
Overall I had a great experience. I am toward the end of my classroom work and so I won’t need this as much but I found this to be a very helpful tool in keeping the audience engaged rather than using a generic PowerPoint in which you can only get so far. Overall 10/10 recommend if your looking for something that gives your presentations a little extra flair to keep your audiences attention and allows them to participate.
PROSOverall I found this to be a really helpful company in helping to engage the audience with real time polling and answers. I felt like it kept the class engaged throughout the presentation. The ease of use was a huge advantage for time sake. I also liked that we were able to attach it through our google slides with no issues.
CONSThe only thing is I wish I would have found this sooner! It’s a great tool to use for many settings.

A great tool for any Q&A opportunities
We're happy with Slido and don't think of switching to any other services.
PROSWe 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.
CONSIf you need Moderation, it's quite expensive, but if you're a non-profit organisation, you can apply for a discount.

Great solution
Very happy with the solution.
PROSI used some of te slido features to deliver training. The word cloud feature is very nice, as well as the surveys and quizes throughout the presentation. It helps with keeping the audience engaged. I tried before using a different software and I had a lot of restrictions (maximum 2 slides, etc.). It's also very easy to use in a training environment, as you can turn questions on and off throughout the training, and they show up on the participants phones as they are turned on.
CONSI couldn't find any faults. The software delivered what I expected.
Reasons for switching to Slido

Trialled and impressed
It was a lot easier than I first thought. We are a non-profit charity, and we therefore have to select our software very carefully. Slido is a good choice for the presentations we make to the elderly, vulnerable and training for Front Line Workers. However, cost may be an issue for us, so we may research to find a fully free version, albeit with slightly less features
PROSSimplicity of use, and plenty of training videos
CONSI only used the free sample. I have no idea how much Slido costs to have a full version. It would have been good to allow some of the paid for extras, so that I could see the capabilities i.e. GIFs

Great engagement app for events
We have used Sli.do for audience polling and QA sessions at two consecutive Eventex conferences, and I'd have to say we are very pleased with the results. The audience is actively engaged and whereas in usual QA sessions some might feel embarrassed or shy to participate, with Slido, they are very comfortable asking the questions they want to have answered. Up-voting questions and crowdsourcing the most popular questions is also very useful, as in large events, like ours, it saves a lot of time, and attendees feel connected to the others, who share the same thoughts. Perhaps where Slido are leaders, is the usability of their service. It's very simple for attendees to join the conversation through Twitter, through our event app, or through the Slido website. If you want to increase engagement at your QA sessions, discussions or presentations, I would definitely recommend using Slido.

The use of Slido greatly improves my E-Learning engagements (mostly financial training in AsiaPacific).
PROS* Powerpoint integration * Seemless access with phone * Slick functionality and presentation I use it for all my financial training engagements. And now my wife does the same as a Professor of Public Health.
CONSNot much. A small thing perhaps. If I use the Powerpoint integration and I must exit presentation mode to refer to another slide, when I re-enter presentation mode, it brings me automatically to the top of the presentation, not the slide selected. I think I've found a workaround.

Great for internal use
Overall - I love this tool and have found that this really helps with engagement, especially for networking events. Love the word clouds and how this can help guide conversation.
PROSThis is a very easy tool to use if you are using it for completely internal purposes and solely for internal presentations/events. very easy to learn and the videos that Slido has to teach the tool are quick and easy to share with new staff and show the elements very nicely.
CONSThis tool can be hard to integrate if you have panelists/speakers coming into your organization using different systems and wanting to use polling this has presented challenges as it can be hard to integrate Slido into different systems. For example if you have one person using Power point and another using Google Slides, they wont both be able to easily implement Slido into their presentations (at least not that we have been able to find).
