Best GDPR-compliant Mentimeter Alternative in 2023

Comparison with Mentimeter

Mentimeter is known for its polling features and it also offers some Q&A abilities. However, it is still an expensive option for a tool that only supports polling and audience questions. SlideLizard, on the other hand, is an all-in-one package which also includes live slide sharing, audience feedback and sharing of additional documents as well as the speaker's contact info.

Moreover, it's natively built for PowerPoint and therefore offers a seamless workflow for preparing and giving interactive presentations. For example, SlideLizard extends the PowerPoint presenter view (this is the window shown on your second screen to control the presentation) to show incoming audience questions and to let the speaker get a glimpse on the poll results before everyone else.

GDPR compliant alternative
You may be wondering, "Is Mentimeter GDPR compliant?". While Mentimeter is a European company, it operates its technical infrastructure almost exclusively in the US. Facebook, Google and Amazon, among many other American companies, are named as data processors in the data processing statement. So personal data of presentation participants may leave the EU and therefore pose challenges in terms of data protection. So, if you use Mentimeter, you as the presenter would need to explicitly obtain consent from your participants beforehand, in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR.

As an Austrian company, SlideLizard puts data protection first, therefore:

your polling data will not be used for marketing purposes
your polling data will only be stored in the EU
your polling data will not be shared with other companies
no IP addresses of participants are stored

SlideLizard has become indispensable for us. The quizzes make the theory courses much more exciting for the students while we teachers can identify areas in which further leassons are required. As a result, our students have much more theory knowledge at their fingertips during the driving lessons. We can only recommend SlideLizard!

We used SlideLizard's live polls at our startup event. It allowed us to learn in real time which investors were interested in which startups and connect them afterwards. The event was a huge success!

I was looking for a live polling tool that was straightforward, quick to deploy and intuitive to use, and on the other hand, easy for our participants to understand. I found SlideLizard - the PowerPoint add-in is super easy to use and has taken our presentations to the next level. The support is fast, personal and professional - just great! I can recommend SlideLizard to everybody!

Live polls in my presentations are the perfect way to interact with my audience and to make real-time surveys or votings. Awesome!

With large audiences I often saw people withholding their questions because they didn't want to speak out loud - since I use SlideLizard this is no problem anymore!
