Glisser reviews

"Glisser was an integral part of a lively conference presentation to a room of about 100 people"

Opmerkingen: I was able to deliver a much more engaging presentation at the software conference I was invited to speak at. I feel that Glisser made my presentation much more memorable and had helped me build my image and brand in the market I operate in.

Pluspunten: I loved the way Glisser integrated easily with my Powerpoint presentation. I hate talks with large wordy slide decks and was looking for ways to engage my audience. I used very few slides with large print and interesting graphics. Glisser's modern look and ability to customize the view made their product look like it fit naturally into deck. I used the live audience poll feature to present interesting questions to the attendees which drew them into the content and held their focus. I received many positive comments and stayed for almost 2 hours afterward to answer questions! The folks at Glisser are very accommodating and were happy to help me make the most of my presentation. They contacted me quickly after I signed up for the trial and showed interest in what I was doing. They answered my questions by email within hours and attentively followed up afterward. I've had great success using Glisser at one conference. I will use it again at a second conference and I've already had a request for a third smaller and private presentation. I hope to be able to use it again for future engagements.

Minpunten: I compared Glisser to half a dozen competing products and found that some were easier to use and some were more difficult. I had to get used to the web interface which is intuitive enough but still a bit different than using a desktop program like PowerPoint. An add-on must be installed into PowerPoint which proved to be tricky. The slide deck must also be uploaded to the Glisser site and kept in sync before a presentation can be made. During the presentation, the live slides must be toggled to in a browser window. The Glisser plug in makes this relatively painless but it is still an extra step to remember in the middle of your presentation. I occasionally found the uploaded poll slides appeared in a different order than in my deck - and I still haven't figured that out why. Instead, I used generic local slides and website slide with the actual poll questions.

"Difficult to use"

Pluspunten: Initial set up was easy - there was a lot of personalisation available and I was able to incorporate lots of interaction styles. It is unique, and definitely worth paying for IF you can afford it.

Minpunten: It was really difficult using this with children. They didn't understand the format of it the way they did with Kahoot. This would, however, be perfect for an adult audience.

"Software AND a service"

Opmerkingen: The Glisser team have some of the best people and culture when it comes to event tech suppliers, their customer support and service especially on event days it what sets them apart.

Pluspunten: Having used Glisser for over 7 years I can honestly say it's one of my go-to tools for any event!

Minpunten: Not a great deal to be honest, any suggestions here would be merely personal preference

"The software is clunky but acceptable for participant feedback."

Pluspunten: Participant feedback is important and this is the only redeeming quality. I do enjoy knowing how people are receiving the information I am sharing with them.

Minpunten: The design, the lack of intuition, the constant asking for my password/making me re-register. All of these things are so frustrating!

"Virtual Event Engagement Superhero"

Opmerkingen: Glisser helps to take our events, whether in person or online or both, to the next level. We have seen a noticeable improvement in our understanding of how an event went thanks to Glisser.

Pluspunten: I've been a Glisser user for some time now, and it really saved me in the switch to virtual events during COVID-19. It quickly takes events to the next level, especially virtually, to keep the audience engaged, while also helping my team collect important metrics about the event.

Minpunten: Getting a hang of the interface can take a second, but the customer support team is really wonderful which helped to alleviate the initial onboarding bump!

"I'd recommend"

Pluspunten: The look of the populated graphs, ease of use with cell phone, back-end data that could be pulled into client reports

Minpunten: That the presentation had to be shown via the browser in the Glisser system (as opposed to a PPT)

"Best UX for online events"

Opmerkingen: Glisser is one of the only solutions I have seen that is truly user friendly – it’s simple, intuitive platform gave my attendees the very best experience for my virtual event.
From on-boarding to live-event execution, the team at Glisser were phenomenal. If you’re looking for an exceptional product, then choose Glisser. You will not be disappointed.

Pluspunten: Slick interface
UX
Ease of set up
Support from team

Minpunten: Would like to see more features but understand this is being developed.

"Create interactive presentations"

Opmerkingen: I love being able to keep my audience engaged.

Pluspunten: gets audience involved, live results, keeps audience engaged, plug-in for PowerPoint is easy to use

Minpunten: Format will not match the PPT presentation. If not using the plug-in, cannot rearrange slides or edit the presentation easily from the website. Users must enter their email addresses to use.

"A fresh presentation"

Opmerkingen: It's hard to tell the effectiveness of trainings. You perform keeps the audience engaged and allows trainers to make adjustments as needed.

Pluspunten: I love the way I can get real time feedback during my presentation

Minpunten: The isn't an option for audio for online presentations.

"Absolutely must have product for your conference"

Opmerkingen: The main benefit I received from the software was that it made my life easier both leading up to during and after our conference. It got people interactive and in addition to this they could download the presentations easily (which always tends to be a nightmare for conference organisers). Making a commitment to go paperless and wireless, this was by far the best product to enhance that commitment. People enjoyed making notes on their tablet and phone and then downloading it. I would totally recommend this product.

Pluspunten: Glisser definitely increased the audience participation in the conference. The ease of use of the product by the delegates (and me as an organiser) was a real bonus. I totally recommend

Minpunten: Also being a conference enhancement and delegate participation software program I cannot find anything that I don't like about this product, because it works and gets people interactive.

"Wonderful App and Great Customer Service"

Opmerkingen: Enaxis Consulting recently used Glisser during an IT leadership forum in Houston, and the response from our participants was overwhelmingly positive. As our primary presentation engine, Glisser's simple to use interface made creating the presentation and polling questions easy and quick. We were able to directly upload PDF and PowerPoint slides into the app and could easily move the slides around to work on presentation flow. The polling option was also simple and intuitive to set up. We used polls throughout the forum to engage our participants and get real time input from the group on key discussion points. This shaped the discussion as it allowed our speakers and panelist insight into where the audience stood on different topics. Our participants were very impressed with the tool and many of them expressed interest in using the app in their future events. Finally, the Glisser team was wonderful to work with. They were responsive and worked with the Enaxis team to answer any questions we had. Thank you again! The Glisser app really helped to make our event a huge success.

Minpunten: Overall the product was great and we really benefited from the polling options. The only issue we faced was the inability to embed videos through power point slides.

"I use Glisser for the live poll feature, this allows my audience to easily interact."

Opmerkingen: Audience participation. Easy poll.

Pluspunten: The Q&A section is an awesome way to address questions throughout, WORD CLOUD feature is actually really fun for participants and encourages them to participate and ask questions. I absolutely love how much more participation I get from my audience when I use Glisser, plus it's easy for participants to use! I really like customizing my presentation to an audience and Glisser makes it fun! It is so great that audience can use either their phone or a computer. This is a great way to make a boring presentation an event! Not only do I get more participation, but I also find my audience remembers more of what I say when I review with a quick quiz. You can easily judge if a concept was retained or if you should re-enforce a concept or re-explain an idea.

Minpunten: I wish it was cheaper. I also wish you could link out to websites. I want to take my audience on a virtual journey. I see the potential here, but I want more features. Also, I wish you could move the slides around and do quick edits, it is so frustrating to want to change 1 little thing and you have to download the whole pdf again in the correct spot.

"Glisser review"

Opmerkingen: My overall experience has been positive. As a student it keeps me engaged with the presenter on my device and minimizes distractions throughout the presentation.

Pluspunten: I liked that the presenter can directly interact with the audience through the presentation. The presentation changes on the audiences electronic device as it is being presented.

Minpunten: There isn't any way to actually return to the prior slide as the presenter is going through their set.

"Worked well. Better would be something like a QR code for the website, for quick audience access."

Opmerkingen: Interactivity

Pluspunten: Functionality. Integrated slides & polling.
I don't know about customer support or value- I didn't use support, and I didn't pay for it. And the pricing wasn't on the website, so who knows? I did forward info to our IT/audiovisual guy, but I'm not calling to find out the price.

Minpunten: Took too long for audience to access the website. If I had the link ahead of time that might have worked, but since I didn't, I had to wait for everyone to type the address into their phones, which took much longer than I would have predicted. A QR code within the presentation would have facilitated this better. Also, several times while editing the polls, I had to shut down the slides altogether to get them to edit properly.

"Best ever received feedback from audience - I'm a Speaker for more than 10 year"

Opmerkingen: The presentation software run smoothly, did not had any issues with it. The organizers were impressed and even asked if they can use it, the other speakers asked also about the solution and envy me. The audience (200 people) liked it, everyone had only positive words. I was impressed of how many interactions I had from the audience and the voting system for questions helped a lot pointing out the best questions. As first interactivity I choosed a closed question regarding the audience field of activity and this pointed out in real time the exact demographics in the audience (in percentage 34%, 21% 37%, 8%). I could not achieve this with the usual "please raise a hand" question, and helped me position better the information i will deliver during the presentation. The audience spend some time on the mobile rather than looking at me on the stage. But that was good for the ones in the back that did not have such a good placement compared to the screen because they followed the slide on their mobiles and tablets.

"Review (:"

Opmerkingen: We use this program in the classroom to promote in-class participation and it works great. All you have to do is put in the url and you are right in the program following the professor's presentation.

Pluspunten: It's super easy to use. You can download the presentation at the end with whatever notes you made. It allows participation from the audience.

Minpunten: It's difficult to go back to previous slides, you have to go through all of the ones in between. You are not able to change your question answer once clicked.

"Good tool to evaluate readiness for an assessment"

Pluspunten: This is a great way for professors to quiz a class and make presentations more interactive!

Minpunten: If not set up properly then it displays everyone's answers and people are able to change choices based off of a majority.

"Turn a presentation into a dialogue: engaging the audience using Glisser"

Opmerkingen: An hour is a long time to be listening to anyone's voice but Glisser completely changes this. Building in the interactive features and embedding video into the presentation meant both the 200 strong audience and I remained engaged throughout.
There were no awkward microphone moments as you waited for the ushers to assist with questions from the audience. Instead, questions are posted in text and better yet, the ability for audience members to like questions meant I could focus on the top ranking queries and comments.
The tech worked seamlessly and the data captured through Glisser means I was able to capture feedback and reach out to the attendees within 24hrs of the event.
I'll definitely be using Glisser again, I could see it working well for anything from a focus group presentation to our annual conference. Keep up the great work team Glisser!

"Glisser Functionality Review"

Opmerkingen: I thought the customer service was great, it just didn't work out with our system.

Pluspunten: The various features are great as far as customizing your page and the analytics.

Minpunten: I found it hard to use, we didn't receive many applicants from it, and I thought the pricing was tough just considering the return. Lastly I work with a Franchise system and each location cant have their own page which makes it hard on the franchisor to manage.

"Bringing events to life"

Pluspunten: Using Glisser is a great way to engage with our audience and our delegates really like that they can download slides instantly.

Minpunten: Sadly it isn't optimised for use on mobile phones so that can be tricky sometimes.

"Good product for some quick audience engaugement"

Opmerkingen: So far we have only briefly experimented with it! Glisser helped us to add a nice energiser to a company day out, and others from the company have considered using it in future client meetings

Pluspunten: I like how the results page allows you to see the results come in live, it definitely feels more dynamic!

Minpunten: Since we were using this primarily for the quiz side rather than presenting, it didn't feel obvious that you needed to add a presentation first to create a quiz. In the end we had to make 1 title slide and upload it to be able to make the quiz.

"First time user to pump up PowerPoint presentations"

Opmerkingen: Getting more questions and interaction from an audience which would much rather cell phone text than get up in front of a microphone.

Pluspunten: Graphical presentation, preparation of slides and cell phone interface are most impressive.

Minpunten: Having to do the presentation in the Glisser environment is the biggest concern. Many presentations are done in pure PowerPoint mode. Products like Poll Everywhere allow the user to download and use an add-in in PowerPoint and add slides as necessary. Glisser wants you to do it the other way around - move the slides into Glisser then add their slides to the presentation. I prefer the add-in method, allowing me to prepare all the slides offline in PowerPoint.

"Great tool - wish it had google functionality"

Opmerkingen: Very solid customer experience

Pluspunten: Great UI that was easy to navigate and easy to read

Minpunten: No integration with google slides or keynote

"I use Glisser to deliver workshop-presentations"

Opmerkingen: I use Glisser to deliver workshop-presentations. Not quite a workshop because I am still presenting but certainly not a presentation because I can get the audience so involved. My typical audience size is between 10-20 people and it really helps me create a 2-way interaction.

Q&A is brilliant, I bring up the questions view throughout my presentations to ensure everyone understands what I am talking about and speed up/slow down accordingly. I wish I was able to archive answered questions though without turning on moderation.

Automatic slide downloads also mean that I don't have to bother with the usual end of session email and follow up - anybody who wants a copy of my content just gets it.

"Good teaching tool"

Opmerkingen: It's helping make my slides accessible during a tutorial and allowing tutes to be more interactive through things like polls

Pluspunten: Makes it easy for students to get a copy of tutorial slides, polling is nice

Minpunten: I had trouble uploading my slides the first time, it would be nice to be able to make minor tweaks to slides (e.g. fixing a spelling mistake) within the Glisser interface, I'm worried that my students are getting spammed with feedback requests
