That's the easiest platforms for the specific job. Pros 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. Cons 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.

Review Source Response from Cisco June 22, 2022 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.

A speaker used it during a presentation years ago and I simply fell for it. I have been using it a few times a year since (hence my reluctance to go for the full version...I do not need it extensively). An amazing product , easy to set up and eaysi to us durin a live presentation , virtual or face to face. Pros This one is sooooo easy to learn! For me, and most importantly , for the participants! And versatile! Surveys, quizzes, word clouds... you name it, you've got it! Cons Limited options on the free version but hey... Some functions are more difficult to use on a cell phone that they are on a tablet or the desktop version. Nothing that would prevent me from using it on a cell phone, however. But one has to practice in advance as this could be a be disconforting in fron a a live audience. Switched from [SurveyMonkey](https://www.capterra.com/p/253516/SurveyMonkey/) Easier to set up and use. The audience's learning curve is very fast! Review Source LA Lauren A.

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. Review Source MN Miguel N. Chief Social Strategist Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "No better way to get attendees to become participants" August 24, 2020 5.0 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. Pros I 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. Cons I 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.

It supports simultaneous inputs of 300+ people (in our case), and no bugs appeared. It’s really an industry standard and can recommend it Pros It’s a perfect tool for having polls on live events as well as on online meetings and webinars. Their PowerPoint integration works seamlessly, which is of great value so that you don’t have to switch screens when ending presentation and switching to the poll. Slido is intuitive and easy to use, and shows live poll results in a great way. Collecting data and inputs is very easy and just scan the QR code, which opens live poll on their mobile web browser (no registration or app needed). Their Q&A tab also works nicely, allowing users to ask questions during and after the poll ended, which makes transition from poll to q&a part of the workshop seamless Cons I can’t say much about the cons, as the app is really good. It’s important to download slido app for integration with PowerPoint, but once that’s done, it’s very easy to add polls you created online to PPT Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Amazon Account Management Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great free product that integrates well with google slides " October 21, 2025 4.0 Overall happy with slide and great results from using it in a pitch. Good reaction from those listening to the presentation and a great way to interact without disrupting the flow of the deck. Pros This was very user friendly and integrate well with google slides. It’s a nice way to make your presentation interactive. Due to the integration it doesn’t have glitches with switching platforms like some of the other survey extensions. The free version works great for most use cases. Cons The interface is very basic and doesn’t have many customization options as far as aesthetic. It is free so I can’t complain but ideally I would like to be able to make it look like a branded part of the greater slide deck/presentation. Review Source CG Carly G. Curriculum designer and trainer Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great ice breaker and conversation starters" December 5, 2025 4.0 my overall experience with Slido has been quite positive. It begins meetings, quickly gathers data and shows analysis of the data in lifetime, which is nice because it quickly shows what is a general consensus of the feelings of the people in the meeting. When it was used for less serious topics and more about breaking the ice, it was also really fun to use as conversation starters. Because it could also be anonymous, it really allowed people in the meeting to express your thoughts. Pros What I like most about Slido was how it quickly brought together meetings with surveys and polls. With this feature, we were all able to see the data collected and analyze very quickly, and it became a start of specific conversation conversations. Especially if it was an open discussion forum, using Slido gave the meeting an opportunity to gather topics for discussion. Cons It’s hard to say what I’d like least about it because it was really easy to set up from the back end and the user end. Review Source ML Mor L. Senior Presales Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Provides simplicity to prepare engagement activities and presentations in advance of the event" January 7, 2025 5.0 Slido ensured that the event was perfectly prepared and made more impactful. It enabled us to deliver an engaging and fun experience and effectively engage the audience. Pros Slido has a clean and easy-to-use user interface, navigation and setup are always simple. Slido is great for preparing engaging and effective presentations before virtual meetings or events. I loved the ease of setting up live polls and syncing them with presentations, which added great value to our pre-meeting preparations, enabling us to engage the audience and respond to their questions early on. Cons No negatives at all, always look forward to new Slido updates that include ideas and integrations that simplify the workflow even more. Review Source AE Ann E. Psychologist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Straightforward integration for presentations" December 3, 2025 5.0 Pros Easy to integrate with PowerPoint as a presenter, and easy to use as an attendee. Mobile and computer-based interfaces are equally straightforward. Cons Sometimes it is tricky to advance past a leaderboard of responses. This feature is not appropriate for all presentations. Review Source DG Dayanand G. Warehouse Executive Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great audience engagement tool" January 12, 2025 5.0 My experience with Slido has been good and positive. Pros It is a decent tool for engaging meeting participants with various interactive tools, such as Live Polls, QA, Quizzes, etc. It not only makes your meetings and presentations impactful but also helps you to measure the success of the same with its great analytics feature. Cons We have not faced any issues with Slido so far. Review Source JP Jessica P. Sustainability Project Manager Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Slido - Interactive Meeting Tool" February 6, 2025 5.0 My experience with Slido as been positive. It has enhanced a number of meetings I have fun, helping engagement and testing learning. Pros The ability to make surveys, word clouds, quizzes, etc and embed them into PowerPoints to use in presentations and meetings. I love the speed of the answers appearing on screen live and the way the answers are saved online after. Cons There are many limitations with a free version of the app, but it is still very helpful. I found it difficult to duplicate questions and make changes that then use a different QR code for participants. Review Source JV Jaroslava V. Learning and Culture manager Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Slido as a easy tool to make Learning and Internal events engaging" November 27, 2022 5.0 Slido has become an integral part of most of our internal events in company as well as learning and development activities. It makes them active, engaging, creates a open feedback culture and makes people remembering it. Pros Easy to use, integration in powerpoint slides, so it makes me much more comfortable during my speeches Cons creating a follow-up materials from powerpoint - I have to do all printscreens manually, I would prefer a option to generate ppt or pdf automatically after the event on one click. Reason for choosing Slido easy - user experience, price Review Source SN Samuel N. IT manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Know More with slido " July 19, 2023 4.0 Pros It's faster than others polling software Cons Doesn't easily intergrate with other softwares Review Source MP Matej P. Assistant director Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best tool for live and online events " September 20, 2021 5.0 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. Pros Slido 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. Cons I 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. Review Source Response from Cisco September 22, 2021 Hi Matej, Thank you for your review, we really appreciate that you're happy with Slido and will work hard to keep it that way! I have sent your idea of marking survey questions as required to our product team. - Filipa CG Carolyn G. Senior Learning Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We needed help building more interaction in our Virtual Classroom....and Slido was the answer" January 31, 2023 4.0 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. Pros We'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. Cons It 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. Switched from [Poll Everywhere](https://www.capterra.com/p/127096/Poll-Everywhere/) Slido is easier to use. Review Source AE Alex E. Assistant Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome free tool (with paid accounts w/ more features) to conduct anonymous polling, Q&A, feedback" September 1, 2023 5.0 Using Slido had allowed me to conduct quick online polling and voting with my classes over the years to help students get a better sense of their strengths and skills they look forward to improving. Viewing Slidos conducted at the beginning of the term, then polling students at the end of the term shows students how much they have grown when their responses change to reflect more confidence for speaking in front of the class. Pros Allows me to poll students about things they rather not say out loud, such as skills they are looking to improve by the end of the term. Cons When a Slido has run its course, there are a few too many clicks to re-activate it. But I am only using the free version, so paid tiers may have more ease of use. Review Source Rafael P. Undergraduate Finalist Student Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A must-have PowerPoint add-on" July 15, 2021 4.0 My overall experience with Slido is good. It works perfectly fine in the PowerPoint itself and has great features I appreciate a lot, such as live pools and, of course, the quizzes. As of now I didn't have any problems while using this software as it works very reliably. I may also mention the Slido Academy, which is a platform that offers loads of video tutorials for getting started with Slido and exploring its many resources. This is such a great add-on! Pros What I like the most about Slido is how I can engage with my audience by easily creating live polls and quizzes directly on a PowerPoint presentation and getting instant feedback... all this on real-time! Slido is both fun, pedagogic, easy to use and has incredible features I appreciate a lot. I firstly found Slido while watching a presentation of a colleague and since then I've been using it for many quizzes and Q&As, as it is very easy to access by the participants. Cons If I had to point any less good characteristic, I would say that what I like the least about this software is the not so user-friendly layout. I would like to see more of a modern design and I think there is room for improvement there. Other than that, I had not encounter any issues or concerns whatsoever. I'm also aware that the support team is very friendly and responsive, which is great! Review Source SS Sudhir S. CASS Lead Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A simple engagement tool" February 16, 2023 4.0 I have been using Slido to create polls during meetings to keep the audience involved and have been also using it in conferences to open the floor for questions. It has been a very good experience and certainly it is creating value for me. Pros Slido is one of the widely used application for creating engagements across. It acts as a ice breaker between the meetings and also serves as a tool to drive engagement across any organisation. One of my best feature for Slido is it's points table update after every question which shows how have people faired after every question. Also, it tells you who is just ahead of you which I think is also a nice feature as it keeps you competitive. Cons Perhaps one of the things where slide can be made better is it's use with applications like Sametime, symphony, etc. Review Source Harald M. CEO Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "slido as interaction tool at the Mountainbike Congress since 2018" September 28, 2023 5.0 We use slido to interact at our conventions and events. The advantage of anonymous response and visibility of all questions is extremely helpful. Pros We mainly use surveys as well as customer questions. The ease of use and simple login for our visitors. Cons There are a few small things that would make Slido even more efficient for us. One example would be one master image per survey instead of one image for each question. Integration with Acrobat presentations, Zoom meetings and Keynote presentations. Review Source SJ Steve J. Living Generously Advisor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Away Day Presentation - Gauging the mood of the room" October 4, 2023 5.0 Very Good. I used Slido because I had seen it being used at a conference I attended and thought what a really great interactive tool it is. Pros The QR code engaged the participants at the beginning of the day. They began helping each other which brought them together as a group. The results appearing as a word cloud created interest and brought them into the presentation. Being able to repeat this throughout the day meant that they could see how their mood was being affected by the content we were exploring.Free version is a great way to understand how Sildo could be used in future presentaions. Cons Awareness that we need connectivity - I used my 4G as the venue did not have WiFi.The integration of Slido in PowerPoint is great, but had to experiment to discover how it would work on the day. Review Source KC Kenneth C. Owner/Principle Instructor Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love the Changes made!" November 19, 2020 5.0 Engaging my audience is always a challenge. Slido allows me to get participation without asking them to standup and speakout in a crowd. They become considerably more interested with where I am going with my discussions. Pros I started using slido 2 years ago. I do 3-4 conference talks each year. I have also tried many ways to better engage my audience and bring them into the talk. At that time I was required to use my smartphone to activate each poll of which I use 3 during the class. A couple of weeks ago I was setting it up to use again and this time I discovered the power point integration. When I set it u, which was pretty easy, I was able to use the ppt slides and when I got to a slide for the poll, it pops up automatically and immediately activates the desired poll. And this conference was virtual so I was able to use it sharing my screen on Zoom and people across the country participated in the 3 polls I had. Cons Setting it up takes some time but I think it works pretty well. Review Source Guy G. Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great audience engagement tool" August 17, 2023 5.0 Pros Simple polls and options to create direct answers for presentations, also the ability to field questions and free format text as opinion pieces for group discussions Cons Limit of three questions on the free version, but then you've got to make money somewhere!

Patrol Sergeant Law Enforcement Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MCJA Lead Trainer" October 2, 2019 5.0 We are creating a window for communication that would otherwise go untouched, using your program. I feel it is easier for a person who may feel they do not have anything positive to contribute to bury their heads. Then they may look the other way, verses using a program which keeps their anonymity, allowing them to ask a question, or make comment that may impact many others in the industry they are in. Pros I found this software portion that we used to be easy to maneuver around. I also feel it is easy enough that even a beginner can be comfortable using the software / program to aid them in teaching and communicating the needs of a group. Cons Have not really stumbled across anything negative to date. Of course, I do not look for negative when things work seamlessly. Reason for choosing Slido I chose SLI.do because I was first introduced to it in Colorado at the IACP's DRE conference. Thought it was a great tool. Why change when what works is directly in front of you. Review Source LM Le M. HV team Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Brilliant addition for meetings" April 3, 2023 5.0 We use slido in many different ways as it allows for fun interactive meetings or noticing any trends/themes. Overall it supports the team in achieving the best possible outcomes and provides an opportunity for everyone to have a voice. Pros I have been using Slido for a few years now. The product is great for engaging staff in polls/quizzes and for those who are competitive there is the option of a leader board. You also get instant feedback in different forms, which is so useful compared to some of the other software available. Cons I have yet to find anything that I don't like. Review Source SB Saad B.
