Slido Reviews & Product Details

What I appreciate most about Slido is its ability to engage both in-person and online audiences so effectively. It really helped close the gap between these two formats, ensuring everyone had an equal chance to participate and ask questions. I found Slido straightforward to learn, easy to navigate, and simple to integrate into my presentation. The fact that I could use it for free was an added bonus. Making use of the Q&A and quiz features kept both the audience and myself, as the presenter, actively involved throughout the session, which made delivering training more interactive and enjoyable.

Honestly, I can't think of any drawbacks. It was extremely easy to use and integrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every part of the system was easy to use, the help center was spot on and answered all questions quickly and efficiently. The integration with Google Slides was seamless. We used polls, and live Q&A for an in-person event and the community LOVED it and everyone old to young was able to participate with their smart phones. I only used it once, but will be coming back again to use it again. Loved the option to buy for a "one time" use of the upgraded features. The data export is also perfect.

My ONLY tiny issue was that it took me a few tries to get the Google Slide extension to download, but I think that was a user error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Live Polls and Q&A features are excellent for running quizzes, allowing the audience to interact with the presentation in real time and making it easier to keep everyone engaged. Incorporating these interactive elements into slides is straightforward—just a single click from the slido extension bar, making the process very simple. This tool has quickly become one of my favorites for presentations, and since I usually deliver at least one presentation each month, it has definitely been my preferred tool to integrate with PowerPoint so far.

I'm not sure if this issue is unique to me or if others are experiencing it as well, but I haven't been able to properly integrate Slido with Google Slides. On the other hand, integration with PowerPoint was quite seamless for me. Another area for improvement is the AI Quiz feature. Currently, you can type in a topic and it generates five quiz questions, which is helpful. However, it would be even better if the tool could analyze the content of the presentation itself and generate quiz questions based on that material. That would make the feature much more useful.

The interface is simple and intuitive, making it easy for anyone to join without any hassle.

Features like live polls, word clouds, and Q&A add a fun, interactive element and help capture feedback in real time.

I also like the anonymity option—it encourages people to share their thoughts more openly, which is especially valuable in larger or more hierarchical settings.

Its seamless integration with Webex and Teams is another plus, as it saves the trouble of switching between different apps.

On top of that, the detailed analytics and reporting make it easy to track engagement and review results after each session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free plan feels quite limited, with even some basic features locked behind a paid subscription.

Customization could also be better—things like branding, advanced poll designs, or theme changes are mostly available only on higher-tier plans.

For very large audiences, I’ve noticed occasional delays in showing poll results, which can break the flow a bit.

The moderation panel could be more intuitive too, especially when handling multiple sessions or a high volume of Q&A.

Lastly, stronger offline or low-bandwidth support would be a big plus, since not every participant always has a stable internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to navigate around the product. Very easy for someone who is not a tech savvy person to create a poll and to make use of the tool. Some of the features are more user-friendly than other tools I have used before. E.g., you can control the active poll one poll at a time depending of which one you wanted to use and multiple polls can be created under 1 project title / room / canvas. Very easy and I prefer that a lot. Also, there is no limit (or the limit is very high) to insert a number of options for the poll itself. Also, it is very easy for the poll participants to join in and interact with the poll w/o the need to sign in / other complicated way to join in, always a plus.

2 things to improve maybe:

1- I couldn't get to the point where you can restrict the minimum number for a participant to pick (a minimum number they must fulfill / select from the options) to allow them to submit an entry but only a max number. I think that option would be useful - if it is not there yet, or if there is, not quite intuitive that I couldn't find it.

2- The aesthetics could be improved I think - it will be much aesthetically pleasing for presentations.

That's all. Thank you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how fast it is to make an event using Slido. The ease with which I can create events is truly valuable, saving me significant time and doesn't make adding a Slido ever a burden. Additionally, the feature set of Slido aligns perfectly with my needs, ensuring I do not feel like I am missing any features. I greatly appreciate its comprehensive functionality, which enhances the efficiency and quality of my events, whether virtual or in-person. Slido's initial setup was very easy, which minimized the time and effort needed to incorporate it into my workflow, facilitating a smooth and hassle-free onboarding experience.

I don't like Slido's limited page branding options. It would be more beneficial if there were features to save and reuse branding for pages, which would enhance usability and consistency for events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slido had fully transformed our company's Town Hall meetings where everyone is much more engaged Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Previously, if you forgot to close a Slido interaction, such as a presentation, and then started a new one with similar features like a quiz, the results from the earlier session would carry over. This made it challenging to determine who the actual leader or first place finisher was in the new quiz. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slido is extremely easy to use and simple to implement, even for first-time users. I appreciate how quickly I can set up polls, Q&A sessions, or word clouds without any technical steps. The platform offers a solid range of features while still feeling intuitive, and it integrates smoothly with tools like PowerPoint and Zoom, which makes it easy to use during live sessions. We use Slido frequently because it consistently improves participant engagement, and whenever support is needed, the customer service team is responsive and helpful. Overall, it provides a reliable, user-friendly experience with enough features to meet a variety of engagement needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Slido is very useful overall, some features can feel limited without upgrading to higher-tier plans, especially when working with larger groups or more complex events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate Slido for making interactive presentations more engaging and dynamic. It provides a new and faster way to collect audience responses compared to traditional methods like writing papers. I love that I can see results instantly on the screen, which adds an element of excitement and immediacy to the presentations. The option for anonymous responses is a standout feature for me because it encourages participation from those who might not engage in other settings, creating a more inclusive environment. Additionally, I find the setup process to be very intuitive, which means I can get started quickly without much hassle. I also enjoy using Slido alongside Microsoft PowerPoint, as it integrates well to enhance my presentation experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that the free version of Slido only allows for 3 slides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of Use

Slido's word cloud feature is remarkably intuitive. Participants can quickly respond with just one or two words without needing any technical setup or training. The anonymous submission format removes barriers to participation, allowing people to share authentic responses without hesitation.

Impact on Workshop Sessions

The tool significantly enhanced our session by creating psychological safety around sentiment sharing. Key impacts include:

Honest Participation: Anonymous responses encouraged people to express genuine feelings they might otherwise keep private. The word cloud captured a full range of sentiments—from "Grateful" and "Hopeful" to "Overwhelmed" and "Uncertain"—that wouldn't have emerged in a traditional go-around-the-room discussion.

Visibility & Validation: Seeing sentiments visualized in the word cloud immediately normalized the diversity of emotions across the team. When words like "Anxious," "Supportive," and "Optimistic" appeared together, it validated that multiple perspectives and feelings were present and acceptable.

Efficient Data Collection: Gathering 70 responses from 38 participants in real time would have taken significantly longer using traditional methods, and would likely have been less candid.

Engagement: The novelty and anonymity of the format kept participation high and authentic.

Bottom Line

For facilitating honest, inclusive feedback in workshops or change management contexts, Slido's word cloud poll is an excellent tool. It's easy to set up, participants engage readily, and the visual output immediately surfaced actionable insights about team sentiment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
