    Great way to celebrate remotely!

    Date: Jan 10 2023
    Summary

    Overall, the website could run smoother but it's still a fantastic resource to use. Any team would benefit from its use.

    Positive

    This site is a wonderful way for colleagues to celebrate each other remotely. For a team like mine that has employees all over the country, like mine, this is a great way to build camaraderie. It's also great that there's an anonymous option to contribute to a gift card. It decreases the pressure to contribute for those who may not be able to afford it.

    Negative

    The gift card feature sometimes glitches. The GIF feature could also be improved. It lets you select a GIF but if you don't like it you have to reload the entire page.

    Great way to involve remote employees

    Date: Jun 15 2023
    Summary

    No need to spend several days passing a card around the office. In today's remote work environment, it's a great way to send a note and involve the whole team/company!

    Positive

    Fun GIFs to choose from.
    Allows employees in any location and at any time to send their well-wishes.
    Can schedule automatic delivery.
    Remembers previous email addresses that you've input.
    Sends reminders to participants so you don't have to.

    Negative

    None. Just need to continually have fresh GIFs to choose from.

    Date: Jan 16 2023
    Summary

    Would recommend!

    Positive

    Really easy to use and a great place to collate messages from lots of people.
    Great that you can schedule delivery to the recipient.

    Negative

    The Free board only holds 10 messages before you have to pay - irritating for smaller boards as sometimes have had to pay the extra when I only needed it for the ability to post 11 messages.

    A Great tool to recognize team in a remote workforce.

    Date: Mar 16 2023
    Summary

    Covid really changed the way we work, moving to a remote workforce made it hard to get teams to sign cards for those leaving, going on mat leave, take a long vacation. Kudo Boards are a great and fun solution. I love how much they can be personalised, the effects that present when it is opened, the GIFS and attachments that can be placed on messages, it's all fantastic and can be shared via email to ensure the entire business has an opportunity to contribute. The feature to print the board or have it turned in to a book is something really unique and personal. Such beautiful word and messages then made a keep sake. Most of all the ease of use to set a Kudo up and personalize and schedule delivery can all be done in under 5 minutes.

    Positive

    Ease of use and user interface.
    How quick a Kudo is to set up, personalize and schedule.
    The archive of all previous Kudos created.
    The option to print the Kudo Board or turn in to a book. (LOVE THIS).
    The ability to apply fun backgrounds and personalize messages with pics, vids and GIFS, make this alot more fun and exciting then an old card signed by everyone with limited space.
    The ability to be able to write long messaged is fantastic without having to worry about character limits.
    Great getting emails to advise when the board is delivered and opened.

    Negative

    Support function is not easy to find, would be good to see this as a chat bubble or something on the front page that could be clicked on and take you to the correct area.

    Amazing Option

    Updated: Apr 27 2023
    Summary

    Great product, would definitely recommend - do think there should be a level before 100 contributors though with revised pricing.

    Positive

    You can add your own photos.
    Lots of GIFs and emojis installed.
    Variety of themes and backgrounds to choose from.
    Very customizable.

    Negative

    There should be something between the free and 100 contribution option - we are a smaller group - max 50 so something in between with a lower price tag would be great.

    Kudos to Kudoboard

    Date: Mar 28 2023
    Summary

    I have used this to create quite a few Kudoboards. I like it as it's accessible and very simple. I'm sure you could start to get super fancy with advanced graphics etc now.

    Positive

    It's simple, and quick to pay for and open. The free option is pretty sweet too. It's a fun way to collaborate with those at distance.

    Negative

    I reckon you could get some fancier backgrounds/GIFs etc.

    Easy and Quick

    Date: Dec 29 2023
    Summary

    Useful, quick and easy to use. I use this on most occasions for the office. As mentioned it is a great tool for sending quick messages and to add more features if required making it a go to product.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is a very easy software tool to use and quickly set up. It's great for those that either just want to leave a message or send something extra in the way of a GIF or photo.

    Negative

    Basically all good though maybe a tad costly. Perhaps there could be a new charge feature for 20 posts.

    Awesome tool for any kind of employee recognition! Great way to get your whole team involved, whether they are in office or remote.

    Positive

    Adding people to the boards is a little cumbersome. If there was an option to create a contact group to add the same people every time?

    Updated: Feb 24 2023
    Summary

    Highly recommend. Disappointed my company will not longer provide.

    Positive

    Absolutely love using this product to celebrate co-workers. Lots of options from which to choose. Recipient feedback has been extraordinary!

    Negative

    Wish there was a better way to distinguish when to use the 3 options available for what occasion. Seems only the special occasion gets to be assigned to someone in particular.

    Easy way to celebrate work events

    Date: Feb 24 2023
    Summary

    My colleagues and I frequently use Kudoboard for birthdays and other celebrations. The instruction video makes it easy to create, schedule and deliver a Kudoboard. And it gives "signers" the ability to search for fun GIFs and photos suiting the occasion and receiver to go with their messages. I don't mind paying the 5.99 to include more than 10 people because that's about what I might pay to go out and buy a card. And no more passing around printed cards and trying to keep track of who in the office is holding the card and who hasn't signed yet!

    Positive

    Ease of use, ability to search for GIFs and photos to go with your message, ability to schedule delivery for a certain day and time.

    Negative

    I need to sort of re-teach myself each time I create one and remember/experiment with things like where on the screen do I click to start scheduling and such.
