Easy to use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** Easy to use and perfectly simple. Live updates make it more entertaining. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** As far as I know, there isn't a way to make it anonymous which would be a useful feature. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simple polls regarding team members end dates, their feelings towards two of our products, and recreational things such as what our team is doing. These polls are a quick and easy way to get team feedback without creating more work for everyone. Recreational polls "just for fun" are a great way to lighten the mood or create a workplace bond. ### 6. A for functionality **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kimberly M. A. | Visual Design Manager, Political Organization, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** the ability to poll a group of people. for some reason slack didn't think to have this feature built in naturally. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** the way the results are displayed are legible but one has to read passed unnecessary info to get to the meat of the results. we live in an age of finding the most efficient solution. i've see teammates use slack reaction emojis as tallies to count votes. this is your competitor in my opinion. a simple / easy to visualize tally system. that's what simple poll needs to be more like, simpler. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** take the time to learn how to set up the questions and answers properly **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** it's a way to gather huge amounts of people into agreeing on 1 solution. ### 7. Get better solutions to problems **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Muneeba F. | Head Of Operations, Research, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** Polls help immensely in coming to a decision. The feature is free to add and all it takes is a few clicks for the Simple Poll to get added to your Slack work space. Anyone can then use it in your group to make polls and its very easy to use once you get the hang of it **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** Getting used to how to make polls is a bit difficult at start but can help easily in your Slack group. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** Yes, I would recoommend this to people who are already using Slack. A wonderful feature and is extremely helpful **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being the Head of Operations at a Research firms, there are a lot of decisions which I have to make and forego others. Polls help me in making a better decision. By just adding a poll on my Slack Group, I am able to get better answers for my question. In this way, we can even discuss all the possible options to a problem and come to a better and conclusive decision agreed by all. ### 8. Simple Poll is just that- a simple system for taking polls **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mollie M. | Associate Product Manager, E-Learning, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** I like the ease of use- if we want to put a poll on Slack, all we have to do is type in /poll on the channel we want the poll on, and type in the information. You can also edit, and see the results in a second. Also, you can see who voted for what, in case that is needed. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** Because of the layout, it can be confusing if the multiple choice results are numbers, since they are numbered. Then you end up with a lot of numbers on your results. For example, it might look like this: How many pizzas should we order? 1. 1 2. 3 3. 5 **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** I would say steer clear from multiple choice options that are numbers. Because there are so many numbers listed in the platform, it can get really confusing for the people taking the poll. If you do use numbers, spell them out and use a unit (i.e, five pizzas, instead of "5"). **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to quickly get answers without needing excessive feedback from the entire team. We used it to determine which other apps were "working" for our team on Slack, and everyone felt good about it because it's relatively non-confrontational and quick. ### 9. Easy and quick to use poll **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ami B. | Android and iOS Software Engineer, Principal, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** The simple poll bot allows for you to easily create a poll and ask a question in a group chat, channel, or DM. You can add several options and see exactly who has voted for what option. Once you are done with the poll, you can easily delete it to keep your Slack channel free from clutter. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** The UI isn't the nicest, but that is just aesthetics. The bigger problem for me, is that I can not limit people to select only one option from the poll. I wish I could state if this was a multiple choice or a single choice poll. I haven't been able to create an option with multiple words for a choice. I wish there was an option to see the results of the poll without showing any of the users the results of the poll for a more honest poll when it comes to a sensitive topic. I additionally wish that I could edit a poll or add additional options to the poll which at this time are not supported. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** If you are looking for a lightweight polling integration into Slack I would suggest using this. It is good for check ups and that is about it. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can quickly get a pulse on my team's needs and see where we stand. If I am worried about getting an honest response, I can also set the poll to be anonymous. ### 10. Extremely easy to use quick poll for team members **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** I like that this is a completely customized poll feature that as a stand alone feature or as a feature that is embedded in a communication chain. I like that you can add as many responses as you like and if you have the Slack dashboard, you will see responses as soon as they are submitted. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** I dislike how the feature may get "lost" in a long communication chain. This is really meant for a quick poll with quick responses and for the synthesis to come immediately after. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** I recommend encouraging your work groups to download Slack dashboard so that when you create a poll, others will see it and hopefully respond to it quickly. This is a great way to get instant results, that they team may see and act upon. I enjoy the custom feature of creating a survey that takes seconds! Do try to get use the results quickly, as the survey may get "lost" in a long communication chain. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am able to create a poll without using a feature outside of Slack, which is incredibly useful when you're in a pinch for time. I am able to construct a survey in seconds, and if my group is logged in, and respond quickly, this is really the fastest way to collect data from a poll. ### 11. Simple, clean and needed **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jake D. | Publicist, Public Relations and Communications, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** Easy and visually clean app that allows for quick responses from the group. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** There is a strange aspect of the app where the person who runs the poll is shown as answering all of the questions at the same time. To illustrate this -- let's say I run the poll for whether we should have pizza or subs for lunch. My group will see that I voted for both immediately. This is strange. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quick, easy responses for office questions that don't need an in-depth answer. Don't use this to ask "what can our office do better?" but use it for something fun or simple like asking what music the radio should be turned to after the current playlist. ### 12. Easy to use polling with great functionality **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** It is very easy to create a poll and outline response options and what they mean. There is a little bit of memorizing the format that you have to do, but the format and the commands are very intuitive. It's very fast to participate in the poll, and the app is easy to use for both admins and users. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** If you're doing an easy poll where you're looking for a majority vote - this is perfect. If you're polling colleagues, and it's important to you that you hear from everyone - the names are too small, and it's just as hard to keep track who responded and who didn't as if you were asking the question and keeping track of answers via other means. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Finding a time/place to meet or a topic to discuss; simple yes/no questions with regards to receipts of various things (newsletters, mail, etc.) or tasks completed (e.g. securing a conference registration); learning about others' opinions (you can even create anonymous polls); ### 13. Make your own polls with added quirks! **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephanie T. | Marketing Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** In general, we enjoy slack because you can customize it to make it seem more like your team. Like, if you look at ours, you'll notice right away that we're an office of weirdos haha. But with this specific add-on, I like that you can make the polling options fun emojis. Like when we are voting for a place for lunch, your options can be the ramen emoji (for ramen), sushi emoji (for sushi), or burrito (for Mexican). **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** Maybe we just aren't using it right, but I wish you were able to limit the amount of votes you can have. Like for us, some people will select multiple options. I also wish we could see it more as a bar, rather than just showing us the number of votes an option got. I like the emoji option, but I'd like to option to show different visualization. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** I said this in an earlier comment, but different poll options and visualizations would help it be more flexible for the end user. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Well, choosing lunch spots every Wednesday has gotten easier! Though, we do still end up arguing about it haha. ### 14. Polls, but not so simple **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Simone A. | Director of Project Management, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** This bot is fully integrated into Slack, so it is possible to launch polls easily. A command-line system allows to create a poll and add answers to it. Users can reply to the poll by selecting one of the answers you provided. There's virtually no limit to the polls that can be added. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** Need to remember how to open new polls. Not easy to change poll answers when the poll has already been started. Not so easy to find the poll when other messages flood the channel, unless it has been pinned. Not easy to retrieve different polls launched in the past. So in a few words, the biggest issue about Simple poll is its lack of features: it's way too simple. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** If you need to launch simple (very simple) polls across your team, it's ok. Moreover, it's free so it could be definitely a good choice. Otherwise, if you have more complex poll needs, you should consider adhoc tools such as polls.io, Easypolls, Surveymonkey, Google Forms, Doodle, etc. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Receive rapid feedback from the team about a proposal. ### 15. The name says it all! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brad P. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** The simplicity of this bot is awesome. Use the same simple format each time you wish to take a poll. Voting is easy, and you can see your results with a glance. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** If your poll involves numbers, it can be tricky, since they list your poll options by number instead of bullet points. If your options include zero as an option, you can have a scenario where you click 1 to vote for zero, click 2 to vote for one, etc. That can be misleading, and led to some confusion once where we had to redo the survey. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** If you want quick and easy, this is the way to go. We've not used it for the most complex of surveys, but what we have used it for, has been perfect. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's been great for getting consensus for simple things like who wants what for breakfast, to more complex things like feature development selection. ### 16. Quick and Easy for the Busy Office **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arthur B. | Quality Assurance Tester, E-Learning, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** I like being able to read something and respond quickly by selecting a number (or more if applicable). It's not too complex to set up either. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** In Slack, it does take up a good amount of space in the channel. It can also move pretty far up if people keep talking about it or move onto other things. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** It's an alternative to using Google's forms. I'm not sure if you can be anonymous with Simple Poll, but it's something to keep in mind. One more thing: have the poll in a popular channel that doesn't get used too much. Something like #random is a terrible place to put it. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** General polling when finding out what a large group would prefer for public knowledge. We've used it for lunch decisions, popular content areas, and even what sort of features we should focus on for next quarter. ### 17. What's great about Simple Poll **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** I love how easy it is to quickly poll a large number of people within our organization on any topic . **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** Simple Poll is, as hinted at in the name, a tool for making simple polls. Perhaps there could be more features around displaying the results or allowing for different types of questions, but I honestly don't view this as a serious problem given the tool's intended use. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** Simple Poll is a great way to quickly draw out answers to a question from members of your organization (or externally through shared channels). I would definitely recommend others try out Simple Poll. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Simple Poll at work to vote on all sorts of things such as what day should we have off one month, what problems employees see with a particular service we offer, or who has the best king cake (we're located in New Orleans). ### 18. Need input & Slack's your main comm. tool? Look no further. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shayla N. | Director Of Operations, Food & Beverages, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** We just started using this in Slack recently and it's already proven helpful. In coordinating office events, it can be difficult to choose the best day for as many people as possible. This helped us pick when to have an office event. It took a few seconds to provide input and was easy for the person in charge to set it up. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** Right now there doesn't seem to be a downside. I'm excited to use it more. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** This can be easier than using a google form for quick answers that don't need to be anonymous. The team was able use it and make a decision based on the results in a matter of minutes for us (we're quick responders!). **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** So far it's been useful in selecting a day for a company wide event, especially during a busy season. ### 19. Exactly what it says on the tin **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Keia H. | Graphic and Web Designer, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** It's the easiest thing to use, kinda hard to forget how to use it. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** I kinda wish that it was "prettier"? I dunno like, make the polls look more like a designed div than essentially text with emojis. Honestly, I don't even dislike that enough to call it a problem. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** Go for it! I'm using it as a Slack integration. You can always uninstall it later. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Although we don't use it very often, we do use it for semi-serious and silly polls, like "which version of this design works best?" or "which made-up word describes how you feel right now?" ### 20. Good for very simple polls, other bots provide more functionality **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel Q. | Graduate Research Assistant, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** With a few, simple commands on Slack, anyone is able to set up and send very simple polls to whoever. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** For what I use it for, it is very functional! It's not easy to have it do very complicated things like other polling bots. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** Not much! Good to set up if you need to make some, as the name of the bot suggests, simple polls. Good at it's limited role. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simple polls that we need to do, such as "should we cancel this meeting", or "should we go get lunch?". Very easy to make things such as this. ### 21. Very simple, but it just works. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matt B. | Data Architect, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** It's incredibly intuitive, and pretty easy to utilize. Most users are able to figure out the interface and user options fairly quickly. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** It's a simple poll. That said, in cases where you may want to utilize advanced poll features, you may find it lacking somewhat. For instance, users can multi-select responses and you can't limit that. Additionally it fills a large portion of the screen. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ability to anonymously poll a channel is fantastic and has helped us gained insights very quickly from a large number of people, without formalizing survey monkey or other external tools. ### 22. Great Resource **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** I like having an easy way to take a pole within slack without having to send out a link to an external website. In the past, I would use a website to gather poll information, but since I already use slack in my workplace, implementing simple poll was easy and eliminated an extra step for those filling out the poll. I also like how easy it is to see the responses right in my slack account, which is probably already pulled up anyways! **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** I don't think there is anything I dislike! **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** I love Simple Poll. If you're already using Slack, it's a no brainer! **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** People are a lot more likely to take a pole when it's right in slack, so it's great to have more people answering so we get more accurate information. ### 23. Great for simple opinion collections but not for anything complex **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicole B. | Head of Business Operations, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** When you want to ask you team to choose between a few options and not receive a million suggestions , simple pole is perfect. It is great for simple direct answers with one variable. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** When trying to do more that one variable or place and time vs just time , the pole does not work well which result in people writing their preference instead of clicking the option they want. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** It speeds up the decision making process for simple decisions and allows in app vote count so results are in real-time. ### 24. Simple polling integration for Slack **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Steven H. | Director of Business Development, Financial Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** Easy way to get feedback pretty quickly without much effort. When working in teams get an immediate response to a poll. Quick to send out with a full Slack integration. Also, use for customer feedback, etc. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** There isn't anything to dislike. This bot is not complicated to use. Simply type /poll and the formula needed to set up a poll quickly displays. Very easy to use. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** Easy to use polling software to get instant feedback, The integration with Slack makes this a no brainer to use. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Get instant feedback from coworkers, partners, or customers. Can be used to make decisions without utilizing a formal process of gathering the necessary opinions. Also, polling can reduce the need for qualitative input. ### 25. Simple poll is easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chelsea L. | Project Manager, Civic & Social Organization, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** I love how easy it is to use the simple poll. Everything is right in slack for me to get answers from my team. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** I wish there was a little more functionality in how results are displayed. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** Do not make complicated questions **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is really hard to schedule meetings with my team since we are all in different areas. We use simple poll to generate different times for meetings and have different members vote on the time that works best for them. ### 26. SimplePoll is great. I'm trying to keep my headline simple. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kenny M. | Podcast Host / Producer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** There aren't too many bells and whistles with SimplePoll, which is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't need a tremendous amount of other functionality. It has let us create "SimplePolls," but with live results populating in my Slack field. Not every poll plug-in has that, which is surprising. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** I wish I had more use for a plug-in like this, but I just don't conduct polls too often. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** Don't expect a revolutionary product. It provides polls. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Often, I'm resolving issues that are pertaining to very low level issues (i.e. where do we want to go to lunch, what should the end of week activities be, etc.). They are issues dealing more with morale versus productivity. ### 27. A very simple poll that lives up to its name **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** I like how easy it is to create polls, and how simple it is to participate. I also like that it's available within the Slack app, without having to go to an external page. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** It's possible that this is an option that I missed, but people are allowed to vote multiple times on these polls. Ideally, there would be an option to allow people to only vote once. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** This works well as a very basic option, but more advanced polls may require more advanced software. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has helped our company make quick, simple decisions on the spot. This has offered a simpler and faster alternative to creating a Survey Monkey survey or something similar. ### 28.

Also, i love the design and how fun it is to use. I **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** There isn't anything I can think of that I would improve on the poll. It's simple, clean, easy to use and gets the job done. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Since it is so easy on the eyes and fun to use, we use simple poll a lot. t has helped my team make a lot of decisions anything from picking lunch to deciding implementation methods, to deciding which projects who wants to pick up. ### 29. simple yet effective **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** this is a good tool for anyone who regularly uses slackr and wants to quick survey. you can ask yes/no questions or customize your own responses; it formats it into an "emoji" looking survey which adds a nice touch. very basic selection but it does what it needs to do **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** slackr uses a "coding" like integration so to add a new poll you must use the /poll command and follow their protocol. for example you must use specific parenthesis or quotations or else the program will not recognize your survey. this is fine for someone used to coding or typing but could be a bit tedious for someone who is not familiar with the language format **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** I recommend this for a quick and simple polling tool. nothing too complex but is efficient to get answers quickly in terms of numbers of responses. good for quantitive data rather than qualitative **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** solves quick questions such as if people are available to meet today or if people have completed their tasks for the day or what do you want to order for lunch. it can really be used as a tool to get any simple choice data from colleagues ### 30. Perfect for quick office questions and mini-debates **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sean C. | Senior QA Analyst, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** I like that anyone can use it, and how easy it is to create a new poll. We regularly use this to create polls on our release names. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** 10 option limit is a bit limiting sometimes, would also like to see better reporting or be able to kill the poll after a certain point. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** Very simple and lightweight. Don't expect everything in this. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** No real business problems, just a nice integration to have in Slack. ### 31. The name says it all... Simple Poll **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** Dead simple to use, for on the fly polls of my team that only involve a few straight-forwards questions. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** I haven't run across anything in this dead simple Slack app / bot that I don't like. It literally does exactly what we need it to, and quickly! **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** It doesn't take the place of a real survey tool, it does fill a need to VERY quickly poll your team on a multiple choice question. My team uses it mostly for meeting spaces and lunch / activities, but our design team uses it for on the fly opinions for UX/design, which is brilliant. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** For my team, I don't think 'simple poll' was as much of a solution to a problem, as it was a simple way to streamlining slacks back and for on questions. For other working groups, it was more of a solution, like for the Design/UX team. They put out quick polls on simple feature sets, and get instant answers - no focus groups, no tracking data, etc. ### 32.

From serious yes or no polls to just goofing around, it's effective. **What do you dislike about Simple Poll?** Nothing in particular, but I think the only downside to simple poll is it's sometimes easier just to suggest or ask what you're wondering. **Recommendations to others considering Simple Poll:** No recommendations needed. It's very simple to set up and to use and it's a fun way of crowd sourcing. **What problems is Simple Poll solving and how is that benefiting you?** Office polls of simple "Yes" or "No", but I wouldn't say we're necessarily solving business problems with the add-on. ### 33.

Very cool bot to make quick decision inside team. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul R. | Chief Marketing Officer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Simple Poll?** We have used this bot in our Slack communication when discussions had place.
