    Good product but can be improved

    Date: Aug 01 2022
    Summary

    Product is good, it works, however it can surely be improved in many ways. There should be a way to replicate past boards as it is and then customize the necessary bits each time.

    Positive

    Nice background designs and access to tonnes of gifs and pictures to choose from. Pre-defined email templates and text suggestions are also good.

    Negative

    Setting up email list isn't very convenient. Last used email ids don't always populate properly.
    More background designs should be added to the picture library.

    Easy to Celebrate

    Date: Dec 10 2022
    Summary

    Great site, I highly recommend it! The option for setting a date and time is a life saver. You can add gifs and jpegs which is fun when you're using for a team.

    Positive

    I have been using Kudoboard for two years now for work celebrations and its a huge hit. It was especially helpful during Covid when everyone was WFH it added some fun with our teams.

    I was so happy to have found the site. I was getting bored with other sites I was using and prices kept going up. I like that they offer a membership you can share it across teams so it’s cost friendly.

    Negative

    I wish they had more options- they have added DEI which is wonderful, and having most of the holidays is great.

    Great workplace tool

    Date: Oct 11 2022
    Summary

    Our team loves using Kudoboard. It has helped us stay connected while working in a hybrid environment (where each member of the team doesn't necessarily work in the office with every other member of our team).

    Positive

    Kudoboard has been a great tool to create happy birthday pages for our hybrid team! It allows our team to feel more connected and takes away the difficulty of passing around a birthday card for each event.
    We also love that you can schedule the date/time for the page to be sent. It really helps to take away one more step in the process, and you know that the page will always be sent at the correct date/time (and no one will forget to send it!).

    Negative

    Our team has more than 10 people on it at certain points during the year but the free version only allows 10 posts. This isn't a true con though, as there are options to upgrade your experience (which will allow for more posts).

    Great for Virtual Teams

    Date: May 13 2022
    Summary

    I use this for anniversary milestones and when people retire/leave. This has been great for my semi-virtual teams, when historically I would have used a greeting card that everyone needed to be on-site to use. Highly recommend.

    Positive

    Planned delivery helps with hectic schedules and delivering by a deadline (ex: retirement date). GIFs are a hoot to use. Found some neat anniversary backgrounds to use.

    Negative

    The backgrounds could use some more help. Maybe additional backgrounds? Or when a design has a graphic (like the anniversary template that shows the anniversary number) could the posts not be placed over graphic.

    Positive

    Boards are easy to create. Easy to distribute. Easy for team collaboration with the copy link feature.

    Negative

    Have occasional issues schedule the delivery or a board.

    Easy to use! Love it!

    Date: Oct 19 2022
    Summary

    I've used this 5 times for work and it's easy to send to everyone. It looks clean and I like the option that I can push to send it out and it'll remind me or automatically does it. The 24-hour reminder for others to sign is great and encouraging.

    Positive

    Love the different style backgrounds, and fonts and can add in creativity with the post - gifs, pics, etc. I like that you can send the invite out directly and only people who have the link can sign. I love the feature when the person receives it and opens it too - gives me peace of mind that it was seen.

    Negative

    I had no cons or issues with using this. Very straightforward.

    Makes people happy!

    Date: Aug 16 2022
    Summary

    I have used it to celebrate couple of birthdays and farewells of my colleagues and they were all very happy when we showed them the Kudoboard. So I’d recommend everyone to use this in special days!

    Positive

    Kudoboard is very creative and super easy to use! It’s a perfect platform to use to make employees happy in birthdays, anniversaries, and farewell. You can also add gifs, pictures alongside with text in your message. Physical cards can get lost but Kudoboard page is there to stay!

    Negative

    There’s nothing I dislike about Kudoboard so far. It’s very well developed, I haven’t faced any technical problems.

    Date: Jul 14 2022
    Summary

    We use Kudoboard to share the joy between our team members. It's really good as everyone feels happy to receive their kudo and read the nice messages.

    Positive

    We can use emojis to celebrate our team member birthdays
    it sends notifications when the kudo is delivered and when the receiver opens the kudo.

    Negative

    Would be good if we can add audio attached videos.

    The virtual version of the birthday card passed around the office

    Date: Aug 29 2022
    Summary

    We love this product for sending team birthday cards to our teammates who are located all over the globe. It helps foster that community feel in a virtual workplace.

    Positive

    I really enjoy the ability to add GIFs to add personality to the card. It makes them much more fun to read and allows for everyone's personality to shine through. It's also super easy to share a board with other contributors.

    Negative

    When you add tiles it covers up the background. Would be nice to upload your own background. - Not really cons, just new features I'd like to see them add.

    Great for large groups!

    Date: Jun 18 2022
    Summary

    I have enjoyed creating Kudoboards for my colleagues that have left my school site. I began creating them during the pandemic because it was convenient since we were working from home. But I've continued using it this year even though we are back in person. It is a welcome change from passing around cards for people to sign. A Kudoboard allows people to write longer messages that wouldn't fit in a card.

    Positive

    I work at a school with a large staff. I have sent out Kudoboard links for Retirements and staff leaving our school because of a promotion. It is easy to copy the Kudoboard link and email it to a large group of people. Creating Kudoboards is much easier than passing around a card for signing. People can also add pictures to their message.

    Negative

    I have had to send multiple reminders/emails to have people sign the Kudoboard. It may be because not everyone is diligent about checking their email.

    Summary

    Great way to brighten up someone's inbox and day! My coworkers and I use it for birthday e-cards at work. Easy to schedule a date/time to send the card out, and easy to invite others to sign the card.

    Positive

    Easy to schedule emails, easy to send to others to collaborate, brightens the day and inbox, convenient.

    Negative

    Only up to 10 people for the free plan, maybe add more backgrounds and gifs/emojis.

    Date: May 26 2022
    Summary

    Very easy to use. This is a standard practice at our office for celebrating birthdays and work anniversaries that allow multiple team members to add on. I like that you can forward to link as well so team members can add on additional people!

    Positive

    I love that you can add gifs and photos to the board to make it more fun and engaging. I also like that you can send reminders and schedule a delivery!

    Date: May 03 2022
    Summary

    I will continue to use this service to acknowledge and support my team. It is worth the expense and easy to use.

    Kudos to you!

    Date: Nov 03 2022
    Summary

    As stated previously, I started using Kudoboard about 10 months ago to acknowledge team members for various reasons. The functionality allows me to set it up upfront and no need to check back to ensure it was delivered -- which is very thoughtful and appreciated. Collaborators are able to participate and edit their responses should they need to do so. Being able to add GIFs or upload images allow users to add personalized touches to each Kudoboard, which creates the idea that no two boards will ever be the same. I plan to continue using it whenever there is a need. Team members always provide positive feedback after reading all the messages.

    Positive

    I started using Kudoboard about 10 months ago to acknowledge team members for various reasons. I find it to be user friendly and fits the need when wanting to include multiple collaborators. The delivery methods make it easy to deliver the Kudoboard as it allows me to schedule the end date and time, include additional contact emails for the recipient, gives collaborators an open canvas to express themselves and allots the time for them to participate, especially when time is limited these days. The pricing tiers seem to be fair also. The board is free if there are less than ten collaborators participating which is great when you manage smaller teams. I have shared with other managers!

    Negative

    Kudoboard was introduced to me earlier this year and while I enjoy most of the features. I would like to have the ability to create a banner for existing backgrounds. I think it would be great if we had the ability to add a personal touch to say Happy Birthday or Congratulation verses having to create and upload an external image.

    Foolproof system for giving employee recognition and sending gift cards.

    Date: Oct 18 2022
    Summary

    Kudoboard is a magnificent platform, since I started using it, I have noticed that my employees are now much happier, this platform allows me to obtain a correct retention of employees and improve the satisfaction that each one of them has when receiving a card of thanks or a card of recognition for any of their work, within this platform I can create personalized cards, with attractive designs and enter the information within the card that I want, I loved the experience obtained with this platform so far, I consider which has been key to developing a correct delivery of acknowledgments to my employees, since I have been able to enjoy a large number of dishes that allow me to create personalized cards. I am very happy with the experience I have gained here. I have also been able to enjoy the system for sending electronic gift cards. I can send electronic cards by email, but I can also send them by direct message. In addition, with this platform, each of the employees will be able to log in and view the number of recognitions you have earned over the course of your time with our company, otherwise I will graduate a very impressive platform and one that provides unfailing benefits to employee recognition.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is a magnificent service that helps any company to develop a correct employee reward system, with the help of this platform you can grant all kinds of recognition to employees when necessary, in addition, you can have a system at hand that will help you to sending them all kinds of congratulations letters for doing a specific job, this platform allows you to give recognition on a large scale throughout the company. One of the main things that I love about this platform is that it has all kinds of pre-designed templates to send some type of recognition or a birthday card to an employee, all the templates offered by this platform have an attractive design which allows congratulations card for my employee have an optimal and unique design, in addition, you can also change the design of each of the gift cards that you send to your employees. In addition, I love that it is a platform that has data storage, which is capable of keeping a specific record of the number of recognitions that have been sent to various employees, in addition, I love the great variety that exists when sending cards As a gift, you can send gift cards for online purchases or for physical purchases.

    Negative

    Kudoboard is an incredible platform, really since I started using this platform I have only noticed positive features and factors, at no time has this platform given me any kind of problem, it has served immediately to send all kinds of recognition to employees and to be able to automatically configure the sending of greeting cards for the birthdays of our employees. This platform has never given me any type of problem, I am totally satisfied with the functions offered, with the payment rate offered and also with the support team that has been attentive to solve each of my concerns, in conclusion, I have never had no problem with this platform.

    5 Stars for Corporate Celebrations!

    Date: Jun 22 2022
    Summary

    Until I find something better, my team and I will continue being Kudoboard patrons. I am very pleased.

    Positive

    The 5 stars is for ease! I love that I can send this link to my team and they can specialize their message with special Gifs, etc. I love how interactive the interface is and its actually easy to navigate through and read.

    Negative
