Polly Pros and Cons

I like that Polly can be integrated in MS teams meetings and can be used for live surveys, gamification and asking for live ideas and feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not see any downside at the moment. It would be cool though if we can used with other software like outlook. Although outlook already has their own built in poll feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Polly nudges are well-thought-out action steps - rather than irritating canned statements.

Nowadays, there are too many distractions and inhibitors that cause work inefficiency and lack of clarity. These Polly nudges/ surveys and reminders are very well designed to meet you where you are- some are super basic foundational reminders, others are designed to motivate, inspire and challenge positive career growth and how to give back to your teams- I recent Polly nudge made me say, 'Wow, I didn't think of this team building concept/ idea' Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any dislikes with content or easy of use. One little pain point is when I confirm I either do, don't or will take action on a nudge...

I see that notice in Slack, which I use most. I click the answer with Polly via Slack, then I get an email with the same thing - asking me to do the same action steps. That is a bit of a time waste.

I understand what you are trying to accomplish- these actions do make sense, you are trying to cover bases and your API calls are automated (generating a Slack notice along with an email).

My suggestion would be to space the automation- most teams here at Expedia/Vrbo live in Slack- so nudging in Slack first- give it some time (like an hour) then push the emails.

With the email reminder- some simple statements like: "We are here to help you succeed! We've posted a nudging reminder in Slack, here's the reminder via email. We hope these career-impacting nudges help your career blossom."

Something like that- you all probably have content writers who can polish that up and use it as needed. :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Polly makes it easier to lead a team as it gives you a chance to fully engages your team in a fun way! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it's just too complicated to start something, but once you learn it, pretty easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The trivia game is a VERY popular among the staff that I work with. It's always a great time and feels like good team bonding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like we should have a bit more topics since there is a wide range of age! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've only met some of my teammates in person a couple of times in the last 10 months...and some I haven't met at all since we do not live in the same state. Polly has allowed us to get to know each other better and continue to build an open and inclusive environment through the Hot Takes feature. We can use these as ice breakers, times to take a break during the day (because let's be honest, people are taking fewer breaks during remote work), fun ways to interact with the team/get to know each other better, and strengthen our team's morale.

More "Hot Takes" please :) Our team really loves these and uses them to start fun discussions and conversations. We've run out of Hot Takes and now we use the Polly Poll function to create our own...which takes longer so we use this feature less :(

Also, more games, please. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the best thing in Polly is it integrates with the Microsoft teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is the best way to get opinions from the team members but the results are visible to all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since we are using Slack daily, I love that it can be connected with Slack and used so effortlesly. I love the quiz options and the pulse check-ins are great. The fact that I can download all the results and have a spreadsheet overview is also awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since the Polly quiz is so popular, I would love to have more templates for that. Also, I love the pulse questions but would be also great if they would be updated from time to time. It is not something I dislike but atm I am adding my questions in addition to Polly default ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
