    Great recognition tool

    Date: Apr 21 2023
    Summary

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

    Positive

    Easy to use. Lots of different options to match the receiver’s personality, etc. Great for those with any remote workers.

    Negative

    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?

    Kudoboard Loved by All

    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.

    Can't vary fonts between the header and the posts on the same board. Would like more current background options.

    Kudoboard has been a great addition to our team. We have been able to use them for birthdays and farewells.

    Positive

    It is so nice to be able to start multiple Kudoboards at once and schedule delivery! Takes a lot of stress off of having to remember to send on time. Also fun to be able to add GIFs.

    Negative

    It isn't super intuitive how to post, but once you do it the first time it's easy!

    Kudoboard is great!

    Updated: Jan 03 2023
    Summary

    Overall, I've had a 10/10 experience! My company has used Kudoboard to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, work accomplishments, retirements, etc. Thank you so much for creating this product!

    Positive

    - Being able to invite contributors remotely and without needing to create a Kudoboard account
    - Scheduled delivery
    - Being able to edit contributors' posts as an admin (to fix grammar errors, update pics, etc.)

    Negative

    It would be great if:
    - Multiple photos could be attached to a post
    - Searching for gifs/photos was more refined, better organized (maybe with more search filters?)
    - Sometimes when searching, gifs take a while to load (but that might just be an issue with the internet connection on my end)
    - More font choices and sizes were available

    The reminder email is helpful, especially with busy schedules.

    Negative

    More gif options.

    The New Birthday Card

    Easy to share with colleagues working remotely.
    Lots of designs to choose from.
    Able to send GIFs and pictures.
    Quick and convenient to purchase.

    Loved Kudoboard until you started charging

    Date: Nov 21 2023
    Summary

    Positive until recent changes to pay structure where miniboards are now a few. Much less likely to use Kudoboard since pay structure change.

    Positive

    Easy to use and a good variety of card designs. Like the ability to schedule cards in advance and to be alerted when recipients open them.

    Negative

    Started charging for mini boards. I have instances where there are less than 10 people signing and not happy that I now have to pay for a mini board.

    Kudoboard is game changing!

    Date: May 26 2023
    Summary

    Kudoboard has provided the perfect way to celebrate our team in our remote/hybrid workplace. Team engagement is incredibly important, especially since the onset of the pandemic. Our work team only coordinates on-site one day a month, so to be able to celebrate each other and feel recognized and part of the team while remote has been game-changing.

    Positive

    The ease of preparing a Kudoboard and the features of scheduling delivery. As the administrator, I appreciate having the capability of creating all the Kudoboards needed at the beginning of the month and scheduling their delivery date so that no matter whether I am working that day or on vacation, our staff still receive their recognition.

    Negative

    We use the free version as it was not in the budget for this year to subscribe to this platform. One con in the free version is only allowing 10 people to contribute to the Kudoboard. While we realize this is due to the different subscription levels and have adjusted based on the free version, we would love if that number increased.
