    A Great Way to Recognize Members on Remote Teams

    Date: Sep 07 2023
    Summary

    Kudoboard has been a great tool for out team which is now fully remote to recognize members of the team.

    Positive

    Ease of Use - Setup and sharing with contributors is straight forward. Contributing to a board is easy.

    Negative

    Cost - Kudoboard is a little spendy for what essentially amounts to a pre-fabbed Mural/Miro template which auto-delivers via email.

    Fantastic Tool

    Date: Jul 09 2023
    Summary

    I truly like this tool, is a easy way to celebrate milestones, it’s simple to use and makes a difference to the people that receives one.

    Positive

    I love that you don't need to be worried about sending the kudo on time, you just program the date and time and That’s it.

    Negative

    In free version you can only add 10 comments. It’ll be great if you can create a full list with all the celebrations during the year.

    Great little something for your coworkers to feel appreciated

    Date: May 10 2023
    Summary

    Overall happy with this we usually do the 100 signatures board for 5.99 and it seems like the perfect amount.

    Positive

    It's so simple but effective; insert a Giphy or image and write a note to your colleague, friend, family member. We use it for colleagues birthdays at my work and it's always a nice thing to arrive in your inbox on your birthday. Makes you feel appreciated. It is very user-friendly unlike some other similar programs I've seen.

    Negative

    Cons would be that you have to pay to upgrade the board...would be nice to keep the price consistent and not $20 for unlimited posts.

    Date: May 15 2023
    Summary

    Great service no complains. As discussed on the prior question, if the cons are taken care of, it would be an amazing tool.

    Positive

    Easy to follow direction (web content). Features are great and easy. Overall, great service and product.

    Negative

    In general, if Kudoboard prices are brought down, it would be great for the customers, especially due to this inflation in goods and services. will be low that would be great.
    If more new backgrounds are added related to the kudo boards would be amazing.

    Great for Work Culture

    Date: Feb 17 2023
    Summary

    Absolutely love using kudoboards -- they are so quick and easy to use and have such an amazing impact for the individual receiving the board. So easy to set up and distribute too!

    Positive

    - Kudoboard has such a wide array of fun GIFs that keep work culture moral up and exciting
    - Love the UI and ease of use
    - Appreciate the ability to schedule boards which are great for celebrating work anniversaries and birthdays

    Negative

    - Honestly nothing! I have used Kudoboard many times and have never had a poor experience, if anything I wish we could have more users at to the Kudoboard for the free version
    - Would love to have a reminder to fill out kudoboards that I am invited to (sometimes work gets in the way and I forget to fill out a board for a coworker's birthday!)

    Great for remote teams

    Date: Feb 01 2023
    Summary

    It's pretty good and I've introduced it at my new firm and it seems positive It's fun and easy to circulate and people seem to be embracing it.

    Positive

    It's fun, it's easy and it pulls people together when they are based across locations.
    I like the scheduled delivery too.

    Negative

    The first level upgrade is overpriced. We're a firm of 12 and I go from the free option at 10 to suddenly paying $5.99 for up to 100. Maybe a $3.99 for up to 50??
    Also, maybe some more backgrounds and styles would be good.
    Also if you forget to upgrade so there's no space and people are trying to post, perhaps another reminder would help.

    Works exactly as expected - easy to use, efficient

    Date: Jan 10 2023
    Summary

    Easy, quick, efficient to use. Not a groundbreaking invention but a great simple tool for quickly recognising colleagues and collecting funds if needed.

    Positive

    Easy to set up a board, suggestions based on congratulations/message theme, multiple avenues to solicit contributions, reminders, and auto-scheduling of sending.

    Negative

    I don't really have any criticisms, it's a simple product and it works as intended.

    Love it. Will continue to use it weekly/monthly to send happy notes to our team! I think it certainly brightens everyones day.

    Positive

    Love that we can have as many people as we want write messages, that we can postdate it to send AND it sends us a message 24 hrs before it sends.

    Negative

    None that I can think of. The only thing I would say is maybe if there can be videos too with the giphys!

    Very stable system to send electronic letters or acknowledgments.

    Date: Mar 02 2023
    Summary

    We have been able to replace physical letters with electronic letters from this platform. Every time nine employees join our company, we can send a letter of recognition to their main inbox so that this new employee feels comfortable in the company, in addition , the platform automatically sends congratulatory messages every time the work anniversary date of each employee approaches, it also sends congratulatory letters to their inbox automatically, the automated system helps a lot with this congratulatory letter without having to do that process manually. I am very happy with having been using this platform in recent years, I consider that it has helped me a lot, I am much happier with their working hours, in addition, with the help of this platform we have granted many recognitions, it helps encourage them to continue working with us, we can Send simple acknowledgment or acknowledgment, via email. Kudoboard has been the perfect solution for there to be a system for sending acknowledgments and sending electronic letters when necessary.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is an essential platform if you are looking for a service that helps you retain your employees, with the help of this platform you can have a system that makes your employees feel more comfortable working for your company. The first thing I like about this platform is that it counts as a birthday system, this system allows you to immediately record each of the birthdays of each of your employees, to send a specific congratulatory letter to each employee when the date approaches. birthday date, this system automatically sends each congratulations email, therefore, this will help your employees know that the company is paying attention to their most important dates. Kudoboard also allows me to send all kinds of recognitions for employees, I can send recognitions previously designed within this platform, however, I can also create much more personalized and own recognitions, I can add a corresponding logo to each recognition, in addition, I can modify the complete description of each recognition and send it to an employee in a few steps. Another fantastic thing about this platform is that it is capable of actively monitoring the persistence and work that each employee has in their work area, it is capable of detecting the best-performing employees and sends us alerts so that we are attentive to sending special bonuses to the most active or highest performing employees.

    Negative

    I would like this platform to have more variety when it comes to sending specific gift card awards to employees, currently there are several options to choose from to send this gift card, however, there are simply many more gift cards from different stores that are used within the United States, I hope this gift card store to send cards and mods improves within Kudoboard, I would love to see more gift card options.

    -Possibility to add a gift card
    -The recipient can thank all of the people who wrote on the board quickly and easily
    -Confetti when the recipient opens the card :)

    Negative

    -Not possible to make each post a different color, they are all white
    -Automatic delivery times are 1-hour intervals, instead of allowing the user to choose the exact hour and minute for the board to get automatically delivered

    Summary

    I love it, i don't know about the pricing, t is paid for by my employer. i have a link in my signature so people will have even easier access to it.

    Positive

    Easy to use, allows for creativity, love the follow up reminders, i love the gifs, i have used it for individual cards and for group cards. It is a great replacement for the card that used to be passed around the office--now we are all remote and we can still send messages this way!

    Negative

    I don't have any cons, my experience has been great every time. I wish i had an icon i could put on my task bar, i have to go back to previous emails to access it.

    Positive

    Kudoboards can be set up in a few minutes and are easy to send to colleagues to add their messages to.

    KUDOS AT WORK

    Date: Jan 05 2023
    Summary

    I have used and introduced Kudos to different companies I have worked for or worked with. It's just so easy , but effective. It allows everyone to share their "KUDOS' and allows them to be creative.

    Positive

    It's a great way to send Kudos or do birthdays for employees in a work space.
    If your team is smaller than 10 - this is FREE. -- which is even better.

    Especially during the pandemic- It is contactless , safe . and fun.

    Negative

    Most teams are larger than 10 - maybe increase the amount to 15 or 20.

    Easy way to celebrate virtually!

    Date: Jan 12 2023
    Summary

    Kudoboard is a fun, easy way to teams to celebrate each other virtually! Just takes a min to share a photo or gif and comment for a teammate. And no need for users to create an account or anything. The recipient can even print out and/or save their Kudoboard if they want to hand on to it!

    Positive

    Easy to use, affordable, gets high response rates from employees without me needing to remind anyone (the reminders are sent automatically). It is well received by recipients.

    Negative

    No cons to note -- if anything maybe more variety in pre-loaded backgrounds, but you can upload a photo if you want.

    Kudos to Kudoboard

    Date: Apr 03 2023
    Summary

    I work for a company that has been remote since the covid pandemic and, in a case where we used to all sign a physical card when someone moved on to a new job or retired, Kudoboard is the perfect solution to replace a physical card. Not only can you easily have people from different departments and teams sign, but the recipient will have access to view this card forever.

    Positive

    -Ease of sharing
    -Ease of sending
    -Inexpensive price
    -More space than a hallmark card
    -Option to add a monetary gift (giftcard)
    -More fun than a physical card, with options to add photos, emojis and gifs

    Negative

    There are not any cons of this product for my use.

    Cheers to Kudoboard!

    Updated: Sep 26 2023
    Summary

    Kudoboard is great, especially for those of us who work remotely. It allows us to easily be able to show our appreciation, and also acknowledge and recognize each other as a group or individually, within the virtual world or working 100% remotely.

    Positive

    I love the Kudoboard product, as it has become my go to for acknowledging and recognizing team members for a number of things. I use it for birthday wishes, anniversary milestones, farewells, and any other kind of recognitions.

    Negative

    I wish there was a way to save different lists of recipients for sharing, instead of just saving all of the past recipients as one list.
