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.

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

Polly is helping with fostering good communication from a fully remote, often asynchronous team. From organizing team outings, to gathering feedback following meetings, Polly has really helped the team feel more connected and organized. 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 🙂

Thanks for the review & suggestion Brianna 🙏 If there's anything we can help you with, feel free to reach out to us at contact@polly.ai

What do you like best about Polly?

Love that it integrates so seamlessly with Slack. I can create a question bank and share it with certain channels. The options for questions is great, making surveys as complete as possible in order to get the most feedback. Super easy to use and implements so well. I use on a case to case basis but slowly making part of my weekly use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

You need to add polly first to private channels which is an extra step to take Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Streamlining surveys and feebacks for the team in one form only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Abeeda Haroon of Polly

Thanks for the detailed review Stephanie 🙏

Great to know about Polly's ease of use! Our vision is to help you drive purposeful engagement in the simplest way possible.

I hear you on the private channels issue, the extra step can be bothersome especially when all you want you to do is send out the quick poll and get instant feedback. Unfortunately the way Slack works, the apps don't have default access to the private channels. Till the time you don't add the app, we are not aware of the channel, hence the extra step.

it doesn't let you like more than one option Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

quick responses on the go Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Abeeda Haroon of Polly

Thanks for the review Paulina 🙏 Happy to hear that Polly is helping you with instant responses.

Regarding allowing you to like more than 1 option, this is possible. If the polly author has enabled "allow multiple responses" then the respondents can select more than one choice. Basically, this is a completely customisable setting in control of the author 😊

Let us know if you run into any difficulties, I'll be happy to help

I will like to automate the surveys and consolidate the data in reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Abeeda Haroon of Polly

Thanks for the review Valeria 🙏

"..surveys for team decisions" 💙 Great to know that Polly is helping you with decision making.

The reporting functionality varies in Slack and MS Teams. It's quite robust in Slack in the form of charts, demographics mapping, Google sheets integration but the functionality of CSV exports is available on both platforms.

What do you like best about Polly?

The easy of use and the flexiblity it gives once we create a poll. I love the option where you can propose audience to add their own option in poll Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

nothing its a very simple tool. Simplicity at it core and i love its simplicity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

we have a weekly schedule poll to plan our office days. we add a poll every friday to know who will be in on what day. that according to me is quit handy and doesnt a lot of informal communication without initiating any synconous communication and helps us to plan our week.

The slack integration is super awesome and very easy to use and integration is super awesome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Abeeda Haroon of Polly

Thanks for the detailed review Abhijeet 🙏

We love making things easy for our customers and love it even more when our customers feel that ease while using Polly 💙

Great to know that the option of audience adding their own choices is helping you with your async communication. It is indeed quite a popular feature in our multiple choice polls functionality.

What do you like best about Polly?

I really like that I am able to do trivia, or hot takes ( fun questions )with my team through polly. it allows us to have some fun during the day and still work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

When we do trivia questions, the new questions doesn't pop up in the main chat but in the thread link if you have it open. The variety of questions for hot takes, I feel like there could be a variety of questions for the hot takes and the trivia could include music or topics from years like the 80s, 90s. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allows team members to engage with teach other throughout the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Polly?

It's an excellent tool for polling the team about various things. Our team uses it on Slack. It's customizable, which is very helpful. Whenever I've used it, I customized my poll. Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

I can't think of a downside. The customization requires trying a few options, but it can be figured out in 5 mins. I often send the poll to myself first to ensure it comes out as I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Whenever we need to organize a team event or outing, it's the best tool to reach everyone without having to message each team member individually. It's fast and gets the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Abeeda Haroon of Polly

"Fast and gets the job done" ... loving it!💙

Thanks for the review Hajar 🙏 Glad to hear that the customizations we offer are helpful the team in driving results 🚀

What do you like best about Polly?

The interface is intuitive and the tool is overall easy to use. It added multiple tools to our MS Teams chat rooms that were missing from the default installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

I'd say it lacks killer features and is replaced by products it integrates with over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps employees of our company add polls and quizzes to MS Teams chat rooms. Maybe the tool can do more but it is the only use we managed to find for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Abeeda Haroon of Polly

Thank you for the review Ivan 🙏

Customer voice is a key part of our product roadmap. I'm excited to learn more about the "killer features" you had in mind, do let us know at contact@polly.ai

What do you like best about Polly?

This tool gives seamless access to create and access polls within Slack channels which makes it easy and get the work done all in one place. In love with its flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Polly?

Nothing to dislike about right now. The tool can have more enhancements from time to time which is missing currently. Also, the integration can be increased to more applications which are mostly in use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Polly had been helping us to engage the employee channels and take accessible surveys and have fun at the same time. This tool is a great way to take polls also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Abeeda Haroon of Polly

Thanks for the review 🙏

So happy to know that you're loving the flexibility Polly offers! Our breath of features and customisations allow for a lot of flexibility at the author's end.

In terms of enhancements, we have been actively working on a new Q&A feature which we launched last week and ended up being the #1 ranked product on Product Hunt! Do give it a try and let us know your feedback.
