Slido vs. Vendini

It’s particularly suitable for large meetings and town halls, where it can run live polls and make the meeting more interactive. For less formal scenarios, such as small meetings and quick calls, or when the public is not particularly tech-savvy. All in all, it’s a great tool that can fit in a bunch of scenarios.

For smaller sports organizations or event productions Vendini is appropriate. It is also better suited for venues where the inventory is primarily general admission or very basic section/row/seat. The platform does not allow for much seating customization on the user's end. I would definitely not recommend Vendini for larger venues.

• Slido integrates well with Microsoft PowerPoint which is very much useful for us.
• The post poll dashboard reports are very much insightful.
• Shareable links are created easily with Slido. Also, this saves a lot of time and manual effort for us.

• Interface is pretty easy to use.
• Event creation process is straightforward.
• Ability to use on multiple devices (laptop, phone, etc.) is a plus.

• I miss the Slack integration; they used to have this and they deprecated it in the last year or so.
• I believe they have a nice integration for PowerPoint, would be nice if they had something similar with google slides since that is what we typically use internally.
• We use the word cloud feature often and sometimes answers seem to get lost (as in don't show up at all) on the screen. for example, an answer will be there, then as more answers come in it disappears, and when we get to a certain threshold of answers it somehow pops back up again. It's not the worst but sometimes someone will ping me that their submission didn't make the word cloud and they're bummed.

• System is often very slow.
• Limited user ability to customize ticket promotions within the platform.
• Major issue - not friendly with certain firewalls. Iona received dozens of phone calls this year from fans unable to purchase tickets online because Vendini changed something which made the platform blocked by several servers being used by fans.

The ease of use above everything else@ The power of questions used in such a user-friendly way. The fact that everybody now has a cell phone allows this tool to be used everywhere and in all kinds of group interactions. The sheer joy of seeing the results on your phone right away! Transparency rules!

The one reason I choose a tool for my workshop over other tools is their usability. I need a tool that my audience will be able to use adequately very rapidly. The learning curve has to be very steep. I never have the time to "train" my client on a new tool. They are always in a rush and there should not be anytime wasted in learning how to use a new tool. Slido provides me with great functionalities that are easyly learned in a live environment , be it virtual or in a face to face situation.

I had to use the support for this tool only once. The response was very rapid, very professional and fulfilled my needs immediately. Online support services are sometimes advertised only to lure people into buying the product but and non-existent or difficult to use afterwards. Not with Slido. This was not an automated chatbot and the direct contact really helped me

It was very helpful knowing the software and its features.

I find that training is very informative as it helps understanding the software usages and implementation. It gives the usgaes area and how to create gamification and live Q&A section so that you can use in live team meetings and workshops. It is very useful in training and webinars where a large pool of people are there.

The real-time polling and Q&A features are seamless.
Participants can ask questions and vote on them, allowing for dynamic
interaction during presentations. Plus, Slido integrates well with popular presentation tools like
PowerPoint and Google Slides, and the Interface is awesome for both me as a host and for my participants to navigate.

I've used ProVenue in the professional sports world (working with the NY Mets). ProVenue has drastically more capabilities and is a much more powerful system than Vendini, but such capabilities would not be necessary for smaller arenas or productions

It very scalable to large pool audiences during live townhall or meetings.

• Slido helped us increase student engagement which resulted in improved academic results for our students
• The Q&A feature helped us answer questions we received from parents and audeince during live events which resulted in increased admissions in our educational institution
• The gamification of polls and surveys helped us attract a lot of audience and made the meetings interactive

• Allowed Iona to compare YOY sales and attendance figures. Something we were not able to do before.
• We have been able to create events from remote locations (i.e. conference tournament bus trip ticket sales). The ability to just set up an event from wherever one can access the internet is very convenient and has increased our ticket sales for certain events.
• The Vendini reporting has increased the efficiency of internal and external audits when it comes to ticket sales and revenue.
