Pros |
|---|---|
| Slido | Polly is easier to use for day-to-day internal feedback, with tighter Slack and Teams integration. Unlike Slido’s event-focused approach, Polly supports recurring pulse surveys, standups, and informal engagement at a lower entry price, making it more practical for continuous internal communications. |
| Poll Everywhere | Polly runs natively inside Slack and Teams without requiring external links or dashboards. This reduces friction for employees and improves response rates, while Poll Everywhere is more presentation-centric and often requires context switching for setup and participation. |
| SurveyMonkey | Compared to SurveyMonkey, Polly is faster and more conversational for internal use. Employees can respond directly in chat, making it better suited for lightweight, frequent feedback rather than long-form surveys managed outside collaboration tools. |
| Simple Poll | Polly offers significantly broader functionality, including pulse surveys, quizzes, workflows, and analytics. While Simple Poll focuses on basic polling, Polly supports more complex engagement use cases and scales better for growing teams. |
| Microsoft Forms | Polly provides richer real-time interaction and engagement features within Teams. Unlike Microsoft Forms, it supports live Q&A, trivia, reminders, and recurring pulses, making it more effective for continuous feedback and team engagement. |

Cons |
|---|---|
| Slido | Slido offers more advanced audience interaction for large external events and conferences. Polly can feel less suitable for very large-scale public webinars where moderation, branding, and event-specific controls are more critical. |
| Poll Everywhere | Poll Everywhere provides stronger slide-based presentation features across multiple platforms. Polly is more focused on Slack and Teams, which can limit flexibility for organizations that rely heavily on non-chat-based presentation workflows. |
| SurveyMonkey | SurveyMonkey supports more advanced survey logic and statistical analysis. Polly’s reporting is optimized for speed and engagement, which may feel limited for research-heavy teams needing complex branching or deep analytics. |
| Simple Poll | Simple Poll has a lower learning curve for single-question polls. Polly’s broader feature set can feel overwhelming for teams that only need occasional, very basic polls with minimal configuration. |
| Microsoft Forms | Microsoft Forms is included with many Microsoft 365 plans at no extra cost. Polly requires paid licenses to scale responses, which can be a drawback for budget-sensitive organizations already standardized on Microsoft tools. |
