It makes the audience feel included and more engaged Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really, I used the free version which obviously is less customisable but it was excellent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great UX! It's easy to create/update polls and see what they will look like on a mobile phone in the same window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration apart from pre-defined apps, is not possible. I started to use presentation-as-code more and more recently, instead of Google Slides, but I didn't find a way how I can integrate slido in e.g. slidev presentation 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.

Wish it would integrate more easily with PowerPoint Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is intuitive for building engagement, offering a wide range of options and integration capabilities. Can quickly and easily add additional engagement during sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of the challenges stem from our internal IT security measures, which block integration on my work computer. However, I have been able to use it on my personal device. However, on work device, switching between the presentation, videos, and Slido is manageable, especially when conducting more spontaneous activities that do not integrate as seamlessly.

The application allows for very simple and intuitive addition of different types of interactions to presentations. Personally, I have used Google Slides. The onboarding process for meeting participants is very easy and reliable – via a QR code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customization of slides with quizzes or polls could be improved. I also think that the app’s pricing model could be a bit more attractive. Personally, I give presentations 2–3 times a year, and in this situation, purchasing an annual license is somewhat expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
