Polly Pros and Cons

It's the layout which is very pleasing to eyes and that too very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that I can recall at this moment. Only thing is if we can dowload the polly results into a google sheet for review too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Polly is a great way to poll the team, whether for fun, or to gather insight from team members about their thoughts or ideas. Extensions such as Polly help to create team cohesion in a remote environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really are no downsides to using Polly. It works great through Slack with no issues. You can either make the responses anonymous, or public, and the results show up in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the ease of setting it up on slack via the laptop. And the speed of viewing all the results live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

wasn't so easy to set it up via mobile on slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love this app so much! My favorite aspect is that I get to engage with colleagues about important topics and find out their views and aspects on certain things in the company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much to dislike about this app to be honest and I say this a lot but I just wish we had a bit more hot topics y'know? Our Team loves those!! There are so many different topics that can be integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick and easy to create custom polls within the team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No problems encountered so far, it works well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Organic, product-led experience. Makes it super easy to start using via native slack experience. Super quick support response to help me setup recurring polls. And (so far) all for free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Was a little annoyed to have to log into the web interface for setting up a recurring poll, but I know it's hard to find the balance between making the native slack experience super simple versus fully feature-rich. Ultimately, as I become a more advanced user, I'll probably get used to going into the Web App when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to format and get group opinions on something; I've used it within the last week for the team to make guesses on a colleague's gender reveal, to decide on a department Halloween theme, and to choose an off-site location for a team lunch. I could also see application on a project, but the opportunity hasn't presented itself yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Takes up a little more real estate than I like with Slack integration! Have an option to minimalize extraneous messages or white space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

In a world where face-to-face communications are augmented by async chats in Slack, we can use more levity like that provided by Polly. Yes, it's a poll - but who doesn't like colorful parrots to add a touch of anthropomorphicness? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Polly defaults to non-anonymous responses. The person who asks is revealed by default also. It takes a bit of reading to figure out the other settings, so it's likely the first poll anyone makes with Polly is non-anonymous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An excellent way to engage my team and add some fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I want the option to have a shorter timer, maybe 15-20 seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
