Polly Reviews FAQs

Generated using AI

Last updated: Nov 04, 2026

What is Polly, and what problem is it built to solve?

Polly is a platform for creating surveys and polls within collaboration tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. It helps teams gather feedback, encourage engagement, and review responses in the digital workspaces where they communicate.

What languages does Polly support?

Polly supports 1 language: English.

What company sizes and industries is Polly the best fit for?

Polly’s strongest reviewer-reported fit spans small businesses, mid-market teams, and enterprises, with particularly visible use in software and IT services. Other represented industries include telecommunications and higher education.

Company size — Small business: Teams with 50 or fewer employees.
Company size — Mid-market: Organizations with 51–1,000 employees.
Company size — Enterprise: Organizations with more than 1,000 employees.
Industry — Computer Software: A prominent use area for quick polls and team feedback.
Industry — Information Technology and Services: A prominent use area for gathering input and making group decisions.
Other represented industries: Telecommunications and higher education.

What customer support options does Polly provide, and how do users find the overall support experience?

Polly offers self-service resources and direct help through email/help desk or chat. The support experience can be responsive and useful, with users describing quick explanations and practical help; experiences are not uniformly positive, and some users have found follow-up lacking.

What tools and platforms does Polly integrate with, and how do these integrations help users get more value from the product?

Polly offers 2 integrations, which help bring polls and feedback into collaboration and work workflows.

Team communication: Slack.
Project and developer workflows: Slack Connector for Jira.

Using Polly in Slack makes it easier to share polls and collect responses in the channels where teams already communicate, reducing the need to move to a separate survey flow.

What features or capabilities could make Polly even more useful?

Polly could be more useful with richer poll controls and more options for tailoring recurring activities. The most useful improvements would include:

More flexible poll formats, including ranking, sliders, and ways to combine question types.
More control over editing polls after they are sent, including changing questions or closing dates without starting over.
More scheduling and targeting options for reminders, including automated reminders for people who have not responded.
A broader, refreshed selection of templates, trivia topics, and team-engagement activities.

Thanks for the review 🙏

The quick setup with a few clicks and seeing the results instantly within Slack is definitely something unique to Polly.

Regarding the mobile experience, I would love to know more about how we can improve this. We want to make Polly easy for your users on all surfaces so insights around what wasn't too easy would be super helpful.

"Polly"

5/5

What do you like best about Polly?

I love this app so much! My favorite aspect is that I get to engage with colleagues about important topics and find out their views and aspects on certain things in the company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

There is not much to dislike about this app to be honest and I say this a lot but I just wish we had a bit more hot topics y'know? Our Team loves those!! There are so many different topics that can be integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Abeeda Haroon of Polly

Thank you for the review Moriessa 🙏 It's so exciting to know that Polly is helping with employee company alignment.

We just added 300 new Hot Takes this month 🤩

Let me know if you have any specific Hot Takes topics in mind, I'm in the middle of requirement gathering for new content so I would love to add the topics relevant for your company.

"Sales Leader"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Polly?

Organic, product-led experience. Makes it super easy to start using via native slack experience. Super quick support response to help me setup recurring polls. And (so far) all for free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

Was a little annoyed to have to log into the web interface for setting up a recurring poll, but I know it's hard to find the balance between making the native slack experience super simple versus fully feature-rich. Ultimately, as I become a more advanced user, I'll probably get used to going into the Web App when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Abeeda Haroon of Polly

edit

Thanks for the review 🙏

You're right, for more "advance" features you're required to go into the web interface, the native experience becomes too cluttered for complex use cases due to Slack block kit specifications.

The great news is that for respondents, everything continue to happen within Slack!

"Great for finding group consensus in an informal way!"

5/5

What do you like best about Polly?

I like how easy it is to format and get group opinions on something; I've used it within the last week for the team to make guesses on a colleague's gender reveal, to decide on a department Halloween theme, and to choose an off-site location for a team lunch. I could also see application on a project, but the opportunity hasn't presented itself yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

Takes up a little more real estate than I like with Slack integration! Have an option to minimalize extraneous messages or white space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Polly solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a lot of disparate schedules, as the office promotes WFH a couple of times a week. It's often difficult to get opinions from everyone promptly -- sending a poll out with a deadline helps get consensus without waiting for every team member to respond - if you missed the deadline, sorry, pay more attention!

Thanks for the review 🙏 Really happy to know that Polly is helping you drive collaboration in your remote work setup.

Regarding your suggestion around design/UI improvements, I'm going to share it with the Design folks so they can explore this in depth💡

"Polly is an amazing tool to use in the workplace!"

5/5

What do you like best about Polly?

My favorite aspect of Polly is the Slack integration. It allows me to easily send out the initial survey invite as well as reminders in my company's chat program of choice. Results can also be displayed directly in Slack, which is great for public Pollies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

I do wish the reminders could be scheduled for a specific time, like how you can schedule emails or Slack messages. Or if you could target reminders to specific people, that would also be convenient. My team has some team channels and I usually send the Polly through there, but I don't necessarily need the whole team to have a secondary reminder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Abeeda Haroon of Polly

Great to hear that our native Slack integration is working fantastically for your team engagement 🤩

Regarding your feedback on reminders, you're right, the current reminder functionality doesn't allow sending it on a specific date. But this sounds like a valid ask so I'm going to add this to the product feedback channel for the Product & Design folks to explore this further.

Additionally, the way reminders work is that if the polly is sent in a channel, the reminder will be shared in the channel. If it is sent as DM, the reminder will only go out to those who haven't responded. We don't want to bother teams with unnecessary reminders 🙂

"A fun way to get the team's input"

4/5

What do you like best about Polly?

In a world where face-to-face communications are augmented by async chats in Slack, we can use more levity like that provided by Polly. Yes, it's a poll - but who doesn't like colorful parrots to add a touch of anthropomorphicness? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

Polly defaults to non-anonymous responses. The person who asks is revealed by default also. It takes a bit of reading to figure out the other settings, so it's likely the first poll anyone makes with Polly is non-anonymous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for sharing the Polly love 💙 Happy to hear that Polly lightens up your Slack 🤩

We offer lots of customisation settings so indeed, it takes a few pollys to get a hang of them! but updating the default to anonymous definitely sounds like an interesting idea worth exploring ....

What do you like best about Polly?

An excellent way to engage my team and add some fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

I want the option to have a shorter timer, maybe 15-20 seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Happy to hear that Polly Trivia helps in kick starting the meeting on a fun note 🥳

Btw we added new content this month:

- 300 new Hot Takes

- 6 new Trivia categories including Netflix, movie quotes, nature, well being, pop culture, star trek

- New questions added in 15 existing Trivia categories such as Geography, NBA Basketball, Disney, Dogs, Olympics etc

We hope you enjoy the new content & keep having fun@work!

We plan to make content update a quarterly exercise, so feel free to share any new content ideas that you may have.

"A tool for making collaboration extra fun"

5/5

What do you like best about Polly?

I like that Polly can be integrated in MS teams meetings and can be used for live surveys, gamification and asking for live ideas and feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

I do not see any downside at the moment. It would be cool though if we can used with other software like outlook. Although outlook already has their own built in poll feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Challenging and inspiring career impacting insights"

5/5

What do you like best about Polly?

Polly nudges are well-thought-out action steps - rather than irritating canned statements. Nowadays, there are too many distractions and inhibitors that cause work inefficiency and lack of clarity. These Polly nudges/ surveys and reminders are very well designed to meet you where you are- some are super basic foundational reminders, others are designed to motivate, inspire and challenge positive career growth and how to give back to your teams- I recent Polly nudge made me say, 'Wow, I didn't think of this team building concept/ idea' Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

I don't have any dislikes with content or ease of use. One little pain point is when I confirm I either do, don't or will take action on a nudge... I see that notice in Slack, which I use most. I click the answer with Polly via Slack, then I get an email with the same thing - asking me to do the same action steps. That is a bit of a time waste. I understand what you are trying to accomplish- these actions do make sense, you are trying to cover bases and your API calls are automated (generating a Slack notice along with an email). My suggestion would be to space the automation- most teams here at Expedia/Vrbo live in Slack- so nudging in Slack first- give it some time (like an hour) then push the emails. With the email reminder- some simple statements like: "We are here to help you succeed! We've posted a nudging reminder in Slack, here's the reminder via email. We hope these career-impacting nudges help your career blossom." Something like that- you all probably have content writers who can polish that up and use it as needed. :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Polly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Polly is helping navigate team input, dynamics, inclusion and productivity via surveys, open forums and personal nudges. Just last week, I created a Polly survey regarding including global teams- these survey tools are streamlined and effective. Our meeting attendance was 3x the size due to a quick poll.
