    -Extensive gif choice
    -Possibility to add your own pictures or videos to posts
    -Fully customizable background
    -Large selection of backgrounds to choose from or the possibility to add your own picture to the background

    -Possibility to add a gift card

    Great for recognition

    Updated: Nov 02 2023
    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.

    Birthday Kudoboard

    Date: Oct 08 2023
    Summary

    Very good, I use them all the time as it makes my life easier when there are special occasions to mark.

    Positive

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

    Negative

    I would like some extra pictures or Gifs to chose from as when there are lots of contributors it can be hard not to duplicate posts.

    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.

    Excellent for Work Team

    Date: Dec 02 2023

    Love the ease of scheduling delivery and picking a variety of designs. It’s great to be able to invite others to add to the board.

    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.

    Wonderful use to acknowledge individuals

    Date: Jul 06 2023
    Summary

    Wonderful, enjoy the platform, the reminders, and the ability to schedule delivery. I also enjoy the ability to personalize the backgrounds.

    Positive

    We have been using Kudoboard since the pandemic to acknowledge birthdays or special occasions for staff, and it has been such a great platform to allow each individual to use their own personality and messages to celebrate people.

    Negative

    It would be nice to have the ability to schedule reminders to people to participate.

    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.

    Great option for hybrid office birthdays and celebrations

    Date: Jun 30 2023
    Summary

    Great experience each time we use this option. People seem to enjoy being able to personalize their greetings and it's much easier than passing a card around.

    Positive

    Great option for having employees 'sign' a colleague's birthday card and add their own personal touch, e.g., gifs and photos.

    Negative

    I do wish there was a cheaper enterprise/annual option for small companies (more than 10 employees but fewer than 100). Paying $6 each time seems a little high.

    Fun and easy to use

    Date: Apr 04 2023
    Summary

    We were doing google slides to send bday and Yelpiversary cards and Kudoboard is significantly easier, faster, and more fun.

    Positive

    I love the layout, posting capability with gifs, ease of use, and auto-send features! Teams really like the solution compared to what we had before.

    Negative

    Nothing really negative to say as I like the software. Sometimes I post later than others and my post goes to the bottom and selfishly think about moving it up, but I guess that's what I get for posting later.

    Love Kudos

    Date: Apr 26 2023
    Summary

    Excellent. Best thing ever! Ive noticed other people/teams starting to use the Kudoboard after seeing some of the ones that have been put out there. Kudoboard was a great tool during covid. Was able to send farewell messages to co-workers who left during the pandemic as we were not able to get together to sign cards etc.

    Positive

    The ease in using kudo. The various options to tailor a board. The ability to distribute the board to contributors from wherever you are to where ever they are. Timing of delivery function. The ability to change up a board when needed. The joy in receiving a Kudoboard.

    Negative

    When adding a photo- whoever adds it..name is attached to that posting. Would be nice if there was the option to just add photo with no wording/message below on same posting.

    Date: Jun 28 2023
    Summary

    We use Kudoboard all the time for overall recognition, and it’s so nice to be able to customize for each receiver!

    Positive

    The website is so easy to use, both as the person setting up the Kudoboard and as someone contributing!

    Negative

    If I could change anything it would be to up the number of contributors for the free platform.

    Positive

    Very easy and fun to use! It is always nice and thoughtful. Setting up is user friendly and I love that the boards can be auto delivered.

    Kudoboard Review

    Date: Apr 30 2023
    Summary

    Overall, I’ve had an incredible time using Kudoboard. The ability to invite others to contribute and to finally share the templates with the intended recipient have been phenomenal.

    Positive

    I like that Kudoboard is convenient, easy to use with great multi-use templates and creative layouts for any occasion. The ability to personalize by adding pictures and gifs is also fantastic.

    Negative

    There is nothing I don’t like about Kudoboard. I’ve used similar online platforms but they haven’t been as good.

    Cards for the Cyber Workspace!

    Date: Sep 18 2023
    Summary

    Love it! Everyone is able to add their own unique touch to the cards and it can be printed into a poster if wanted!

    Positive

    Ease of set up and distribution , love that people from anywhere can contribute and it's not limited to only the people in the office.

    Negative

    Gifs selection is good but will become repetitive if more aren't added.

    Great Tool to support celebration!

    Date: Oct 13 2023
    Summary

    Overall, I appreciate the ease this tool has allowed me to celebrate my team, collecting many participants quickly and easily through the sharable links. I appreciate the option for GIF's within the comments to add extra flare to the receiver's experience!

    Positive

    I love how simple and easy it is to create a new board, to add to a board and to schedule a board to be sent to the recipient. I am able to stay organized with the boards I have created and appreciate the ability to customize each one!

    Negative

    I do wish there was a more cost effective option for an in-between pricing structure, rather than paying by the 1 or the business plan. I also wish there were some additional themes/backgrounds that were not tied to a specific type of celebration.

    Positive

    The ease of use, scheduled delivery, ability to add gifs and music. Easy to have others collaborate.
