    Amazing

    Date: Jan 09 2023
    Summary

    Love using Kudoboard! If you haven't tried them, you need to check them out. Everyone loves receiving them.

    Positive

    I love being able to collaborate with others to send a Kudoboard. In our virtual environment, this allows us to send kudos from one location with participation from various folks regardless of their location.

    Negative

    Wish there were more categories (Birthday, etc.)

    I love using Kudoboard

    Date: Jan 16 2023
    Summary

    I was introduced to Kudoboard by a colleague at a previous company and I've introduced it to my last 2 companies and we use it for birthdays, goodbyes, etc.

    Positive

    It's very convenient, free to use (for up to 10 posts) and reasonable price for more posts, offers so many different options.

    Negative

    Nothing that I can think of. Never came across any issues.

    Kudoboard is Great For Work

    Date: Jan 24 2023
    Summary

    My experience has been easy. It has been fun putting the Kudoboards together, and it has been great to see the wonderful things that my coworkers have to say about one another. I feel like Kudoboard really brings teams together, and I love that so much. It is such a positive experience using Kudoboard, and I plan to use it in the future. I used to use another website, but that one does not hold a candle to Kudoboard. I am beyond satisfied with this website. It is easy to learn how to use, it is user-friendly, it has a lot of options for customization, and it ultimately brings joy to the recipient(s) of the board.

    Positive

    I love that I am able to involve all of my coworkers in praising a teammate. I love that their voices can all be heard in a beautiful board, where images, gifs, and even confetti can be used to decorate the space. I love that there is an assortment of exciting backgrounds that can be used to add even more of a visual appeal to the board. The fact that you can set a date for the board to go out automatically is awesome. I also enjoy the fact that you can keep the contributor's names on the board or you can remove them if needed. It is very versatile that way. The board even has an option to add a gift card, which is a nice touch. I have never used that feature personally, but it seems like if someone wanted to add a gift card that feature would make things easier. I like that they have a free version or a paid version, so you can decide what best works for you and your budget.

    Negative

    I wish there were a few more plain backgrounds for those individuals who do not like all the bold images that are offered as backgrounds. I also wish you could choose the color of the confetti. Also, sometimes when you pick a gif it does not load properly and looks a bit fuzzy. I gave the design section a 4 for these reasons, even though I wish I could rate Kudoboard 5 across the board.

    User friendly interface, easy to post pictures and make a nice card electronically from a group at the office or at school.

    Great product to use to let those know you appreciate them and care. I use these monthly for my team.

    Negative

    Free templates for 10 users and Easy to use

    Date: Mar 23 2023
    Summary

    I think it's a great product and It's wonderful because it has an easy interface for those who aren't so tech savvy.

    Positive

    I love the fact that we can pen down words to co-workers especially when they are leaving. It's something they get to keep with them to encourage them and remind them of the beautiful memories shared.
    I also like the easy navigations and ability to resend and send card to more than one email.

    Negative

    Nothing really - As always, human nature is to wish there were more spaces for the free template but again that will be selfish as Kudoboard needs to thrive...so no cons per se!

    Positive

    We absolutely love how easy it is to send to our team who all write happy birthday to the particular person!

    Helps bring us together to show appreciation

    Date: Jul 29 2023
    Summary

    This is a really easy way to give someone collective messages of support and to connect together. We've used this for birthdays, deaths, new jobs, new babies, tough times, and even "just thinking of you"

    Positive

    Kudoboard is a great way to be able to show appreciation (or celebration) for someone when folks aren't all in one place to sign a physical card. It's heartfelt and easy to give a quick message of support/congrats/bon voyage/sympathy to those receiving, and people seem really touched to get Kudoboards.

    Negative

    The gifs can be a bit large space-wise-- just the formatting on inserting gifs makes them a bit too big often for the overall look of the kudoboard.

    Perfectly well-rounded options!

    Date: Feb 08 2023
    Summary

    When needing to wish someone well, celebrate a birthday or congratulate a coworker about a promotion, Kudoboard is the perfect spot to do just that. Multiple contributors in different locations can all add their messages which is so convenient. The selection of colors and themes are fun to choose from, as well! We use Kudoboards for all types of occasions!

    Positive

    Being able to add gifs or memes to the message is fantastic! Ability to include people in different locations as contributors, and ability to schedule delivery times is great, as well.

    Negative

    Our only wish is that there were more occasions to choose from and a few more mature or modern looking prints.

    Date: Apr 19 2023
    Summary

    I recommend to everyone and use this product often! I love all of the different options and that it helps me when I forget to get a physical card. This adds so much more detail and personal gifs to make it fun.

    Positive

    Everything. So easy to use and set up. Great way to get your team to come together and celebrate special occasions!

    Negative

    I love it all. Really - Zero Cons. Every time I use it is seems to get even easier.

    Easy to use!!

    Date: Feb 10 2023
    Summary

    Kudoboard is my first thought whenever an employee is having a big event - promotion, new baby, retirement, or leaving the university. I set up the board in a few minutes and employees are adding messages in no time. Very convenient and user-friendly.

    Positive

    The ease in setting up a board is impressive. It literally takes less than 5 minutes to have it ready to go for use. I also like the features of being able to schedule (or not schedule) the delivery.

    Negative

    I would like to have a way to go back and add in the gift card option if it wasn't selected from the start. Even if it only allows for one person to add money, that would be good.

    Ode to Kudoboard

    Date: May 31 2023
    Summary

    I am a huge fan! I will continue to use Kudoboards as a way to celebrate and create the culture I want to work in at my office.

    Positive

    I love sending Kudoboards as a way to build culture in my new office. I arrived 9.5 months ago and I think it is a fun way to recognize employee milestones (birthdays, retirements, new jobs, babies!).

    Kudoboards make it easy for me to set up a fun background and share the link with 9 other colleagues and then have the board delivered to the recipient on a selected date and time. Perfection!

    Negative

    Since I only have a free account, I am limited on the number of contributors to the Kudoboard.

    Date: Mar 03 2023
    Summary

    I love it! I would like to explore other ways to use it beyond the work environment and extend it to families and friends.

    Positive

    I like the GIFs and personal messages. The simplicity of it is great and allows you to quickly show people that you are thinking of them without the hassle of trying to figure out a complicated system. Kudos! :)

    Negative

    There is nothing really that I do not like. I think there could be more background options but that is just me being picky.

    Updated: Jun 15 2023
    Summary

    Overall I think with some time people will find value in it. I know the few Birthday boards I did the recipients appreciated them!

    Positive

    I love how everyone can provide a detailed personal message. It is a much more personal way to wish someone happy birthday or a get well etc.

    Negative

    Getting people to click on the link and fill it out is tough.

    Overall creating and sharing a Kudoboard for a team member is easy to do and the available customizations are cute enough.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is easy to use and set up for team birthdays or goodbye cards. Simple and easy to pick customizable options make it quick to create.

    Negative

    Would like the option to upload customized backgrounds and fonts!

    Date: Nov 02 2023
    Summary

    I have used Kudoboard for a while, as had several members of my workplace and will continue to do so, it's really good.

    Positive

    It's a great platform - easy to set up, it's easy to manage and make any changes and then it's easy to distribute.

    Negative

    Nothing - all the hard work of going around to get signatures is taken away!

    Date: Jul 24 2023
    Summary

    Can’t recommend highly enough. Such a touching gift. Love it that we have the option of printing out too.

    Positive

    So easy to use. Just need email addresses & off we go! I’ve organized kudo boards for weddings, thank you’s & bon voyages. So lovely reading all those heartfelt messages. And now we can add donations/contributions-perfect! Saves me from asking & organizing. Kudo boards take the hassle out of something wonderful.

    Negative

    As editor I wish I could move people’s posts around. Also include more than 1 pic per post.

    Great employee communicator

    Date: Jul 17 2023
    Summary

    Easy to get everyone on board with the software and we can all read the board online to see everyone's pics.

    Positive

    Personalization to add GIF's provided from Software or to add your own pictures and messages from dept events.

    Negative

    1) could use more background boards since we use it often for dept birthdays, sympathy, baby showers
    2) if we could add a verbal message, that would be great too to add personal jokes
    3) if the recipient could also write back in one thank you to everyone on the board would be great too.
