Commendable polling software **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Siddhant T. | Tax Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2022 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** We have been integrating it with zoom as most of our training, and other organizational meeting takes place there only. Hence, Poll everywhere helps us in getting the answers from audience and look into that what the majority is thinking. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** The only thing that bothers me is that actuating the survey for the crowd isn't instinctive, and it lags behind the simplicity of launching the poll. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** In large gatherings it's not possible to listen to everyone or read the audience, so with the help of poll everywhere, we can quickly look into the possible thinking of the audience ### 5. Great custom polls for the classroom! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jordan W. | Business Education Teacher, Primary/Secondary Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 29, 2022 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** I like that I am able to create my own polls, group them together, and get immediate feedback. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** I don't like that I can't control the responses for the "free-write" ones. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** Get in and try it with a friend or by yourself first, so you can see how the different poll formats work and how the responses come in.

I appreciate how quickly you can edit questions on the fly. I use this with PowerPoint and keynote integration. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** I dislike how customizing can create challenges with onscreen presenting of polls. I think the editing could be a little more intuitive. Maybe they could add more animation to display final poll results. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** Poll everywhere is one tool that has totally removed the need for a physical Audience Response System with dedicated clickers. By being able to track participants by name it helps ensure that people who are responding are the ones who should be. ### 7. Enjoy all the things you love about Poll Everywhere, directly in Webex. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sunil Raj T. | Student, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2021 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** Poll Everywhere is an online service that allows teachers to ask their students a question. The students answer the question using their mobile phones, Twitter, or web browsers. Both the question and the students' responses are displayed live in Keynote, PowerPoint, and/or on the web. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** Each poll must be reset individually; somewhat outdated design; many features teachers would find useful require a paid plan. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** Poll Everywhere connects students' current uses of technology with instructors' needs for in-class assessment and feedback. When students know they are responsible for the material immediately or must participate actively in class, learning and retention increase. ### 8.

It allows me to faciliate and moderate discussions. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** The only con I could offer is the design interface is not the friendliest (some scaling issues.) **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** I teach a live class via Zoom about once a month over the course of 3 days. I use poll everywhere to solicit answers to questions to break up the class and encourage engagement. It's easy to use and the learners don't need to create an account. There are lots of different styles of questions that can be used. I use it to facilitate a discussion so users are not trying to talk over one another and avoid the "you go", "no you go" that accompanies online meetings. I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from the learners about it. I started with the free version and the upgraded to a paid version for the extra customization and reporting offered. ### 10.

Such as "How important is this topic in your role? Please rate on a scale of 1-5." Instead you have to create 5 different answers of 1-5 as multiple choice, which skews the analytics. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** Providing clients with a tool for discussion. ### 14.

Great interaction, not as user friendly as I'd like **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Charis L. | Instructor, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2020 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** I love how the polls engage my audience, especially when presenting virtually. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** Activating the poll for your audience is not intuitive. It's confusing that there is an app, website, and poll location: the overall interface and interaction with the product needs to be simpler. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** Engagement with remote users during training ### 19. Helpful For Both Serious and Fun Applications **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Beth S. | Project Operations Assistant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2020 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** My favorite thing about Poll Everywhere is the ease with which anyone can respond to your poll from anywhere as long as they have an Internet connection and the poll code. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** Poll Creation in Poll Everywhere is clunky compared to other programs. There are limitations to the types of polls you can create and the ability to download the data from your polls is severely lacking. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** I would recommend Poll Everywhere for any simple polling application, particularly with virtual participants or a large number of participants. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** The biggest benefit of this program is the ability to get opinions from a scattered group of workers virtually during a meeting. I enjoy using it not only for serious questions but for fun trivia questions as well. It keeps your audience engaged. ### 20. Interesting Survey app to implement! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arash S. | Graduate Research Assistant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2019 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** This software is a really interesting and creative one. With the ability to integrate with your presentation applications such as power point, keynote or google slides, you may interact your audience to vote for different things with their laptops or even with phone. Live results are shown which make it much more interesting for audience. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** There are not much flexibility in design. When you want to add a poll everywhere slide in your power point, it doesn't have much affect to look like your current style. There is a solid color template for this app to add to your slides. In addition, the multiple choice is good that can be interacted with cell phone. However, for more detailed options like having your audience to select an image, they need to do with laptop or browse web not anymore with text. In addition, if there was an option that even without installing poll everywhere, you could see the results in your slides it was much better. Since, it is difficult when you are presenting somewhere and you are going to use their PC, to install it. At least, if they could make it portable, it was much better. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** Try to download the integration module for power point and use them while you are working with your power point. Just make sure your are connected to internet and also make sure you are logged in so you can see live results. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** I added Poll everywhere to my power point and this poll everywhere helps me to design interactive polls and ask my audience opinion and get them involve which is really beneficial. ### 21.

You can set a time limit on questions, get results immediately, and join recent presentations for quick access. Possibly my favorite feature is the fact that you can choose whether results are live or fixed. In other words, results will change as answers are giver or this can be turned off. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** Truly, I am unable to recall any time where I have experienced issues or downfalls of Poll Everywhere. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** Poll Everywhere allows users to give their opinion or answer questions discretely, remaining anonymous to the rest of the subjects.

Incorporating questions into any talk is highly beneficial to the audience improving their understanding of the material as they are forced to process what they just learned. There is no dozing off in these classes! Students tend to like using it too! Even if participants don't have the app, they can just text their answer. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** It can be somewhat difficult to figure out how to incorporate the questions into a talk and to use both on the presenter and audience sides on first use. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** Would recommend as a tool to engage any audience! Definitely would do test runs with the product prior to implementing it in a lecture though as it takes a few minutes to understand the various functions. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** Engaging participants in lectures, students encode more information from the lectures and seem to enjoy the content even more! ### 24.

Still new to the platform though. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** Great tool for interaction in a group setting!

Poll Everywhere for Class Presentations **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vi F. | Vi, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2019 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** I think Poll Everywhere is so easy to use and fun when presenting statistics to teachers and classmates within a fitness industry. It is free and easy to work with. My laptop can handle a lot of questions at once and because it is free, I can change the type of questions for classmates to answer. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** Sometimes I make really long polls and it lags my laptop. Before presentations I have to come early and set up. I think this is because I have a small laptop. When I simply take it out of my laptop and put it on the building's computer's desktop, it is easier to use. There is no more lag and it is fast to go through. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** I train other personal trainers and we all teach each other. Poll Everywhere is free and we can all give good presentations based off of it in powerpoint. We have all established poll everywhere in our microsoft word so when we go to other sites to recruit members or train others, we can easily adopt each other's training lectures and materials. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** I do not solve any business problems. I use Poll everywhere to get a sense to see what my class mates know and do not know. It is more like a survey or investigative approach to presenting. ### 31.

A life-saver for taking attendance in big classes! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2019 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** I really like how easy it is to create a variety of questions with Poll Everywhere. I've used other polling platforms in the past, and Poll Everywhere just offers the best variety of question types that I've seen, and is also extremely user friendly! I was able to figure out how to use it within a few minutes of teaching my first class - it's so easy! **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** My only complaint about Poll Everywhere is that the setting for automatic unlock/lock of poll questions can only unlock and lock questions for 5 minute intervals - For example, I can't set a question to automatically unlock at 1:57 pm, only at 1:55 pm or 2 pm. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** Definitely consider Poll Everywhere if you need an interactive platform for classes! **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Poll Everywhere primarily to take attendance for a class I teach. ### 33. Poll Everywhere provide easy to use interactive polling **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Melanie L. | Associate Professor, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2018 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** Overall Poll Everywhere is easy to use and has a decent number of features. I appreciate being able to use a variety of different question formats (e.g., multiple choice, short answer, word cloud). Moreover, their plug-in to use with powerpoint is very helpful. I love that polls can be completed both via text and online. I use this product mostly as an educational tool. I teach in higher education and I have found this to be useful and mostly easy to use to poll students quickly to determine their understanding of class concepts. Students have given me the feedback that they think it is fun to do polls in class and find it easy to do them on their phone via text message rather than needing to purchase clickers. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** The basic free version of Poll Everywhere is limited, especially in regard to the number people that can respond to the poll in real-time. Additionally, the plug-in for power-point can be buggy and result in your poll information displayed being cut off or not updating in real-time. I suggest pay for the full version if you want to use it with larger groups or access to more features. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** The free version is good if you looking to poll groups less than 40. Otherwise, it becomes somewhat useless. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** As an educator, Poll Everywhere helps to keep students engaged but letting them do something active in class. Additionally, it allows me to take a quick poll to check for student understanding. ### 34.

It really helps to make the session interactive and gain input from those in the crowd! **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** The only thing that is kind of difficult to use with the system is having to download the plugin. Sometimes when using shared computers you aren't always the administrator and may not be able to install the plug in before your presentation. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** This really helps us to get feedback from students and engage with the crowd. ### 36.

The interface is clean, navigation intuitive, and instructions easy to understand. I have used it both as an adjunct professor and as a marketer. Despite having different demographics in both instances, both groups of people were able to easily submit their answers via text message or internet browser. I love that there is a free subscription for educators (and students). As of writing this in May 2018, users can collect up to 40 answers with the free version, which works perfectly for me since my class sizes are ~20 students. My students have also commented that it's a nice feature to have during lecture as it helps keep them focused in an engaging way. There are various polls you can choose from -- multiple choice, Q&A, Word Cloud, Rank Order, Survey, Clickable Image, etc. In the two years I have been using Poll Everywhere, they have doubled the types of polls you can choose from and create, demonstrating PollEv's attention to growth and innovation. You can also group and categorize poll questions, which has worked perfectly for me as it's allowed me to group poll questions according to the day and lecture. Another great feature? PollEv's integration with PowerPoint. The integration is easy to download and use, and it allows me to seamlessly embed polls into my PowerPoint. This way, I don't have to leave the PowerPoint and pull up my internet browser. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** There are many enticing features that come with the paid subscription -- features I wish I had. However, the paid subscription is out of my budget, currently priced at $349 per semester. While I love PollEv, I'm not sure I would get $700 use out of it for the year. Otherwise, there's not much else I dislike. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** Whether your an educator using this in the classroom or a presenter using this at a conference, I highly recommend Poll Everywhere because of it's ability to engage the audience and its ease of use. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** PollEv allows me to better engage my students (and colleagues) in ways I wasn't able to before. Rather than lecture my students for a full three hours, I can gauge their understanding and focus by asking questions and incorporating in-class exercises along the way. In addition, PollEv helps me facilitate discussion because answers are anonymous; given this, my students are more likely to ask questions or guess an answer because they don't have to raise their hand and their name is not attached to it. ### 40. Easy access of in class polls for student participation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Victoria F. | Research Assistant, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2018 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** Customization of questions and resetting of the polls. Every semester I have the same topics with slightly different wording. I try to not let previous students tell other students the answer to the polls that I post. Resetting and making subtle changes without starting from scratch makes this easy. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** The long URL or text message to sign in for the first time. Perhaps this can be shortened. There is a lag time between answering the poll and signing in. When I've strolled around and observed what was taking so long, it was due to students trying to sign on the first time. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** Prepare for jovial conversations when posing funny questions. Students can answer anonymously so they get creative when answering questions. For instance, I posted "ask me anything" and someone anonymously asked, "boxers or briefs" to which I casually waived off! The poll also allows you to upload pictures to which they can point on - dead useful when identifying objects and teaching the class at once! **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** Using poll as a teaching aid in class. This is a "quick and dirty" way for me to establish who knows what, if we're on the same page, etc. I also like to include a free page where students can ask me whatever they like. Usually, I tell them to keep things "PG" but they become comfortable and ask away. ### 41. Fast and Easy! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Samantha H. | Tutor, Education Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2018 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** There are many different types of polls to pick from and use. I have used this in my classroom, and the word cloud was really fun for my students because they could see which words and phrases were used the most. Students could submit complete sentence responses, and I could go through and check for student understanding, but everything was anonymous for the students (I could check who wrote each sentence though). **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** Since I teach math, some of the features are hard to use, and math symbols do not show up well. For example, student's could not type in the degree symbol (or if they tried to, random letters and numbers popped up on the screen). **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** Surveys are so easy to make, and you can even create copies so that you don't have to retype everything. I love getting responses in real time. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** Poll Everywhere is great to check for student understanding immediately. Instead of waiting for the quiz, homework, or test to make sure students understood the concepts, I knew right away where students had misconceptions and could easily address them during class before students went home to try to complete the homework. ### 42. Classroom Helper **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2018 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** Poll everywhere allows me as a teacher to give my class an exogenous cue in that they like the participatory nature of providing data that can be seen changing live. I also appreciate it as a means to gather information about my class to better accommodate interests and needs. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** Nothing comes to mind yet. I use it in an undergraduate class I teach to break up the monotony of lecture style classes. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** This is an excellent tool for educators at the undergrad and grad level. I have also used it as a user in large seminars for orientations. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** PE allows me to engage students by breaking up my lecturing. Students seem to like the idea of using phones to vote and they are very interested in seeing how their responses compare to others' while maintaining anonymity. ### 43. Quick and easy to set up **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2018 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** We only decided the afternoon before a big meeting that we wanted to try doing a live poll. Fortunately, a coworker had a membership with Poll Everywhere and added me as a user. The various types of polls were all very engaging and we were able to find something that fit our needs easily. Set up was easy as well. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** The limited number of responses allowed per membership level Figuring out how to display the poll question full screen and not turn the poll offline Each question had its own setting for displaying responses and although two questions displayed the results automatically, one question had them hidden, making me think I hadn't captured them at all **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were able to get live results based on a larger group's opinions ### 44. Amazing engagement tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Facilities Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2018 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** the web interface allows everyone connect....my favourite feature is the "touch picture" option **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** The convention and summit options are very expensive **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** Great for small to large groups. The number of options available are fantastic **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** interaction and instant/ anonymous feedback has allowed us to get on the fly feedback allowing us to move quickly with things like staff engagement, problem solving & Diversity/ Inclusion activities. We've been able to involve individuals in decisions. We've used it during training and it's made a big difference to how the attendees interact and respond. It's also allowed us to quantify training results. I definitely recommend using it. It's also fun to use. ### 45. Poll Everywhere and Anywhere **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nick A. | District Learning and Development Leader, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2017 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** What do I not like... A simple program with some nice recent additions that can help turn any dull meeting, professional development, or class activity into something engaging. I have used this application during professional development workshops for teachers, during formal presentations/conferences, and in the classroom with students. I love affording attendees the opportunity to be able to respond via online in the website or text message. I also love the on-the-fly results. This makes for great learning in the moment and surveying with attendees and students. So many question types, that are all easy to create and set. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** Honestly, not much. Maybe a simpler way to take the results and save them via Google Drive? **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** This is a terrific platform. If you're a teacher, you are looking for applications that can be utilized seamlessly in the classroom, and that do not take too much time to set up and get going. Poll Everywhere has an extremely short learning curve, and offers some additional features for those that want to get even more out of the program. If you're a constant presenter at conferences/meetings, consider using this program to interact with your audience and engage them. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** Student engagement, interactive lessons, and professional development. More engagement with all. More time is given to analyzing results and sharing responses which make for greater inquiry and discussion. ### 46. A Must Try! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rachel H. | Coordinator of Case Management and Prevention, Higher Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2017 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** Poll Everywhere allows me to customize polls for every presentation. I can choose between multiple choice with words or letters, True/False, or even open response and ranking! In addition to the customization of poll questions, I can also customise the poll results from pie chart to bar graph to numbers or percents. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** Our company uses the free version of Poll Everywhere, so we are capped at 40 responses. Although this is fine for classroom presentations, it sometimes limits us as to what we can do/how we can use Poll Everywhere with larger groups, such as athletics. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** Poll Everywhere is a great solution if you don't have much of a budget. It definitely beats buying a system that requires you to hand out remotes and collect them at the end because everyone has a cell phone. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** We wanted feedback from students during presentations, and we just weren't getting it, at least not honestly, when we asked students to comment or raise their hands. Poll Everywhere has allowed us to capture a snapshot of a specific group of students' opinions in any given moment while maintaining their confidentiality, and giving them something unheard of to do during a presentation - play with their phones! ### 47. First time user **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 02, 2018 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** I like how easy it was to use and how we could use it real time among our large group. We used this software during a critical point in our 2 day meeting that truly helped to drive our point home on what the people in the room where thinking. We were advised that it was one of the highlights of the whole event. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** It was a little tricky getting it to work in large conference room with the technology to see it for live polling. Only used once so not much to dislike so far. **Recommendations to others considering Poll Everywhere:** It was great for live polling and super easy to demonstrate to people before implementing. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** It was wonderful for our attendees to see everyone's response in real time and exactly what their contemporaries were feeling and thinking while they were voting. ### 48. Versatile Software that Helps to Promote Student Engagement **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2018 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** PollEverywhere is really intuitive on the student end. It offers a vast variety of question types to maintain optimal engagement. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** It is expensive, even for educators. I'd also like to see better integration with web presentations like Google Slides. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Poll Everywhere to boost student participation and engagement. Students are more likely to pay attention if they don't have to raise their hand in class. Open ended polls also work well for hybrid and online classes. ### 49.

Easy-to-use polling system to make presentations more engaging. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2017 **What do you like best about Poll Everywhere?** I like that there is no limit to the amount of people that can access the poll during a presentation. I am able to use this program for orientations with hundreds of people and everyone can engage with their individual devices. There are several different types of questions that you can choose from to change things up. **What do you dislike about Poll Everywhere?** I dislike that you cannot change the colors or design of the app. I would like to be able to coordinate the poll everywhere design with my presentation to make it look more cohesive. **What problems is Poll Everywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?** Poll Everywhere can be used in many different settings with different groups of people. We are able to have large groups of students engage with the program at one time using their own devices. Students don't have to download an app to engage with the program, so we are able to use it with more people. ## Poll Everywhere Discussions - [How many responses can Poll Everywhere support?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-many-responses-can-poll-everywhere-support) - [What is Poll Everywhere app?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-poll-everywhere-app) - [Is Poll Everywhere software?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-poll-everywhere-software) - [What can Poll Everywhere do?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-can-poll-everywhere-do) - [View Poll Everywhere pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/poll-everywhere/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-20+00%3A45%3A55+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=f0d1f57b-1a27-4522-82ed-6a88b589fb8f&secure%5Btoken%5D=5df43353fa1dfc305a8c3e98749efed0c35df442796ad36d66dab0e0fdc89cf1&format=llm_user) ## Poll Everywhere Integrations - [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-powerpoint/reviews) ## Poll Everywhere Features **Assessment delivery** - Question variety - Real-time assessment - Pre-made content **Audience Engagement** - Polls and Surveys - Quizzes - Audience Q&A - Live Slides **Grading and reporting** - Automated grading - Gamification - Analytics dashboard - Reporting **Event Support** - Hybrid/Virtual Events - SMS Voting - Event Security - Integrations **Administration** - White-labeling - Mobile compatibility **Engagement Analytics** - Live Results - Dashboards & Reporting - Data Exporting **Agentic AI - Audience Response** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Natural Language Interaction ## Top Poll Everywhere Alternatives - [Mentimeter](https://www.g2.com/products/mentimeter/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (788 reviews) - [Vevox](https://www.g2.com/products/vevox/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (431 reviews) - [Kahoot!](https://www.g2.com/products/kahoot/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (398 reviews)
