Joy Marie Bianchi, M.Ed. Associate Director for Student Life and Leadership Chose Slido Kahoot feels more like a kids game and I've used it for fun events, it doesn't feel appropriate for a professional setting or workshop. It also doesn't integrate right into Google slides as a seamless part of the presentation. Incentivized Helpful? Phil Knapp Quality Manager Chose Slido Slido is an easier "out of the box" experience.

Jay Gardner Senior Director of People & Talent Chose Slido Zoom's polling is super basic and very limited. it gives you the ability to run polls but lacks the dynamic nature of Slido where we can run contests, word clouds, and different types of polls.

User Testimonials
	Arlo	Slido
Likelihood to Recommend	Excellent for home security and monitoring in areas with strong WiFi signals. Excellent for mounting cameras with a lot of mounting options. Wireless is good with a long battery length before charging is needed. If there is a weak WiFi signal like at a cabin or in remote areas it is less appropriate. Incentivized Kevin Duersch Chief Operating Officer/Owner Read full review	It’s particularly suitable for large meetings and town halls, where it can run live polls and make the meeting more interactive. For less formal scenarios, such as small meetings and quick calls, or when the public is not particularly tech-savvy. All in all, it’s a great tool that can fit in a bunch of scenarios. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	It records everything Sends notifications App is easy to use Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Slido integrates well with Microsoft PowerPoint which is very much useful for us. The post poll dashboard reports are very much insightful. Shareable links are created easily with Slido. Also, this saves a lot of time and manual effort for us. Incentivized JM Joe Miller Senior Product Marketer Read full review
Cons	The camera battery life could be improved although it is pretty good. Products are expensive. Incentivized Kevin Duersch Chief Operating Officer/Owner Read full review	I miss the Slack integration; they used to have this and they deprecated it in the last year or so. I believe they have a nice integration for PowerPoint, would be nice if they had something similar with google slides since that is what we typically use internally. We use the word cloud feature often and sometimes answers seem to get lost (as in don't show up at all) on the screen. for example, an answer will be there, then as more answers come in it disappears, and when we get to a certain threshold of answers it somehow pops back up again. It's not the worst but sometimes someone will ping me that their submission didn't make the word cloud and they're bummed. Incentivized Jay Gardner Senior Director of People & Talent Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	The ease of use above everything else@ The power of questions used in such a user-friendly way. The fact that everybody now has a cell phone allows this tool to be used everywhere and in all kinds of group interactions. The sheer joy of seeing the results on your phone right away! Transparency rules! Incentivized François Lavallée president Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	The one reason I choose a tool for my workshop over other tools is their usability. I need a tool that my audience will be able to use adequately very rapidly. The learning curve has to be very steep. I never have the time to "train" my client on a new tool. They are always in a rush and there should not be anytime wasted in learning how to use a new tool. Slido provides me with great functionalities that are easyly learned in a live environment , be it virtual or in a face to face situation. Incentivized François Lavallée president Read full review
Reliability and Availability	No answers on this topic	It is available all the time as it doesn't create issues while using. Incentivized DEVENDRA GUPTA Software Developer Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	It's great working and doing collaboration. Require more working on page reloading Incentivized DEVENDRA GUPTA Software Developer Read full review
Support Rating	I have only had to contact them one time, and they were responsive and professional. It is difficult to give a rating on this unless you actually have an issue. This is the reason for a 9 out of 10. I can not give a perfect rating if I never had an opportunity to truly experience something. Incentivized Kevin Duersch Chief Operating Officer/Owner Read full review	I had to use the support for this tool only once. The response was very rapid, very professional and fulfilled my needs immediately. Online support services are sometimes advertised only to lure people into buying the product but and non-existent or difficult to use afterwards. Not with Slido. This was not an automated chatbot and the direct contact really helped me Incentivized François Lavallée president Read full review
In-Person Training	No answers on this topic	It was very helpful knowing the software and its features. Incentivized DEVENDRA GUPTA Software Developer Read full review
Online Training	No answers on this topic	I find that training is very informative as it helps understanding the software usages and implementation. It gives the usgaes area and how to create gamification and live Q&A section so that you can use in live team meetings and workshops. It is very useful in training and webinars where a large pool of people are there. Incentivized DEVENDRA GUPTA Software Developer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Im still comparing and so far Synology is a better choice for its clarity and ease of use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The real-time polling and Q&A features are seamless. Participants can ask questions and vote on them, allowing for dynamic interaction during presentations. Plus, Slido integrates well with popular presentation tools like PowerPoint and Google Slides, and the Interface is awesome for both me as a host and for my participants to navigate. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Scalability	No answers on this topic	It very scalable to large pool audiences during live townhall or meetings. Incentivized DEVENDRA GUPTA Software Developer Read full review
Return on Investment	It's been positive overall using Arlo. They seem to respect privacy more than their competition. Haven't had any issues with the models we use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Slido helped us increase student engagement which resulted in improved academic results for our students The Q&A feature helped us answer questions we received from parents and audeince during live events which resulted in increased admissions in our educational institution The gamification of polls and surveys helped us attract a lot of audience and made the meetings interactive Incentivized MU Mohammed Umaid Exam Officer & Chemistry Teacher Read full review
