The update is good news for brands that regularly take customer polls. Using Pulse, brands can create polls on a web-based interface, that displays audience reactions in real-time.

The integration with other members of the Microsoft family gives a wider range of industries the ability to engage with, and listen to, their customers.

Aside from a new name. Pulse also gets a some new features.

These include the ability to display videos during live events, as well as a souped-up dashboard with more in-depth data and analysis from its polls.
