    Simple, easy to use with lots of colourful features

    Date: Mar 14 2023
    Summary

    A product such as this needs to be very efficient and joyful to use with minimum configuration required from the user. Kudoboard ticks all of these boxes.

    Positive

    Very easy to start using. The additional features are useful but unobtrusive so so you can get started very easily and then add whatever you like. Integration with our company contact list means it is very easy to add collaborators. Schedule send works excellently. Lots of GIFs and images available. The Kudoboard background that is automatically generated is always pretty and there is no need to change it.

    Negative

    It would be nice to have a feature that prevent you accidentally adding the recipient as a collaborator.

    The Best One-Stop Resource

    Updated: May 17 2023
    Summary

    Kudoboard is the perfect resource for any occasion that you would typically do a group card or gift card. It is simple and easy to use on the admin side and even easier for collaborators.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and provides options for different event or celebration types!

    Negative

    It’s not that I don’t like, but would love to see even more layout and design options!

    Great Work Tool

    Date: May 19 2023
    Summary

    Overall experience has been great, I love to see teammates connect on a more personal level and continue to grow relationships.

    Positive

    -Great for working within teams, especially virtually. The connection and relationships it helps to build is super nice.

    Negative

    -Would love to see more background options. I had a couple of weddings that I didn't feel any theme matched, and I also did one for Mother's Day that didn't have many options.

    Awesome for professional and personal appreciation!

    Date: May 16 2023
    Summary

    I love Kudoboard and plan to continue using it for all my collaborative expressions of gratitude! I also love that the Kudoboards stay with your account so you can always revisit old boards to reminisce.

    Positive

    I’ve used Kudoboard for colleagues, my children’s teachers, birthdays, etc., it simplifies the challenge of trying to get signatures from a group on a card and the ability to add photos, GiFs, etc., adds to the personalization of the board. It is just so much easier to send a link in an email than chase folks around the office to sign a card.

    Negative

    I was a little bummed that the free version doesn’t allow for video content, but certainly worth the small fee for a larger group for an important event…. Again, easier than a card and the same price.

    Updated: Aug 15 2023
    Summary

    Overall, I would recommend Kudoboard to anyone looking for a creative way to send messages. It's also so fun to receive them as well.

    Positive

    I have used Kudoboard for my team's birthdays and work anniversaries! It's awesome to celebrate these wins with a fun, interactive, and engaging platform. The images and giphys are always a nice touch and I know that the team truly appreciates the messages.

    Negative

    I do wish that the mini board came with additional posts!

    Kudos to Kudoboard!!

    Date: Jun 30 2023
    Summary

    This is a very simple tool to appreciate, celebrate, show kindness, empathy, etc all in a single page. The tool is very easy to use and supports images, GIFs, emojis etc.
    I seldom use it to celebrate work anniversaries and birthdays of my team mates. The free board does work for me for most of the times, but I do end up upgrading to the paid version when I have more contributions for a given event.
    In the times where lot of companies are doing budget cuts, Kudoboard comes handy where we can show appreciations and celebrate by staying within the budgets.

    Will surely continue using this tool!! Great work, Kudoboard team!

    Positive

    -Supports GIFs, Emojis and personal images
    -Free kudoboard for upto 10 contributions
    -Unlimited text size for contributions
    -Easy to use interface
    -Ease of scheduling the delivery of the kudoboard at a pre-defined time

    Negative

    -Cannot change the font. Would love to know if there is a way for the same.

    Excellent Easy to use Board Creator Tool for Recognition

    Updated: May 26 2023
    Summary

    This tool is easy to use and intuitive. It’s convenient and even better that you can schedule deliveries of the boards so that you don’t have to remember to share or send it. It’s great to be able to have contributors to add to the recognition being given whether it’s a bday, anniversary, or a pat on the back kudos makes it easy to send boards to anyone using just an email address. I’ve used the tool more than 5 times in the past month along.

    Positive

    Intuitive.
    Easy to use.
    Convenient.
    Promote recognition.
    Scheduled deliveries.
    Assortment of board designs.

    Negative

    I don’t really have any cons to point out at this time.

    Awesome Option

    Date: Aug 07 2023
    Summary

    Kudoboard is a great addition to our supervisor options for team celebrations! It's relatively easy to create exciting celebratory greetings that I could not do otherwise and delivery the electronically to most anyone.

    Positive

    Relatively easy to create and there are lots of exciting and creative options for design and messages.
    Kudoboard provides a wonderful way for our team to share their encouraging words with their team mates now that half our team is working remotely. It has replaced sharing treats and celebrating onsite for anniversaries and various celebrations.

    Negative

    There is not anything in particular that can think of right now. A feature or two might be easier to navigate, such as entering participants. It would be nice if there was an option to enter a distribution list.

    Perfect for a Virtual Work Environment

    Date: Aug 11 2023
    Summary

    We have had a lot of retirements, resignations, and a few weddings in the past few years. Usually we would send around a card to sign, but with everyone still working about 90% virtually, Kudoboard is very convenient and very user friendly.

    Positive

    Since my organization is still 90% telework, Kudoboard makes it easy to allow co-workers to acknowledge birthdays, resignations, and retirements without having to be in the office.

    Negative

    I wish there were a little more variety with backgrounds.

    Positive

    I like the ease of use and how many preset memes and gifs are available for all occasions. We have received positive feedback from our staff.

    Negative

    No real cons to this product to pass along at this time.

    Virtual postcard for all reasons and seasons

    Date: Apr 07 2023
    Summary

    Super easy to use, edit and arrange.
    Almost infinite options.
    Amazing potential.
    Keep it going, please... we are grateful for the service you provide.

    Positive

    What an amazing concept!
    Virtual card for everyone to share, no matter when and where.
    For communities big and small, time is no longer an issue at all.
    The gift card option allows even a better experience of gift giving.

    Simple...yet brilliant.

    Negative

    Okay, 10 participants in mini version for free...all good, understood.
    Basically a sample.
    But the gap between premium and milestone versions should be filled with one more option... at least.
    Though 100 is enough at some occasions...infinite number is waaay too much in other.
    I hope something is already in the making.

    Date: Mar 28 2023
    Summary

    A wonderful product that I constantly recommend. A great way to make anyone feel special. I love Kudoboard!

    Positive

    A great way to make your remote coworkers feel special! I absolutely love creating a Kudoboard to wish my coworkers a happy birthday, congratulate them on their accomplishments or most recently, show a coworker that we support her during a very hard time in her life.

    The themes are fun and appropriate. Adding funds is easy and practical.

    Negative

    -It needs more themes or rotate on a monthly basis.
    -Gift card icon should be larger and more noticeable for the recipient.

    Good way to recognize coworkers

    Date: Nov 17 2023
    Summary

    It’s a great tool to give a shout out to my coworkers. Our team uses it for birthdays or to celebrate any milestone. The best feature is that it lets you collaborate with other coworkers, so multiple people can write in the same post. It also allows you to raise money for a gift card and it can automatically deliver the Kudoboard to anyones email. We have the premium package and it’s totally worth it!

    Positive

    It allows post by multiple people, schedule sends to anyone’s email, it notifies when the board is opened and let them send a thank you note.

    Negative

    Can be pricy! Almost 10 dollars a post. Our team went for the premium feature and it’s totally worth it.
