    Kudoboard review

    Date: Mar 12 2023
    Summary

    These days so many people are online, and know people from all around the world. Kudoboard makes it easier for people to connect and bond by sending birthday messages, holiday cards, and more, even with the distance.

    Positive

    I like how easy it is to set up a kudo, the many designs, schedule it to be sent, add a gift cards, and add images.

    Negative

    I honestly don't have any cons for it, it's easy to use and I think the cost is fine.

    Big fan of Kudoboard!

    Date: May 31 2023
    Summary

    I have used Kudoboard for several years and I enjoy the flexible, personalized message board. I have used both paid and free versions and have found both options to be fun and engaging.

    Positive

    Platform is user friendly - and use is quite intuitive. Both free and paid version are excellent options to share sentiments with others.

    Negative

    Would like customizable backgrounds, otherwise, I'm quite content with the platform.

    The go-to for work birthdays & cards

    Date: Aug 07 2023
    Summary

    I use Kudoboard about 8-10 times a year, mostly the free service. As mentioned, it is quick, easy, reliable and has great features for a quick card. The ability to schedule sending a card ahead of time as well makes it easy to never forget and also to get in nice and early on someone's special day.

    Positive

    I love using Kudoboard without our team at work. It is the perfect go to card for birthdays, thank you's & general cards. Easy to use, FREE, and most importantly quick and simple.

    Negative

    No con's that I can think of at this stage, it is so very easy to use.

    My Kudo Experience

    Date: Jun 15 2023
    Summary

    Vey Happy with the product. My team likes the ease of posting a message. We use it for all our team birthdays, retirements and promotional congrats.

    Positive

    It is easy to set up and post a message. The price is reasonable in compared to prices of greeting cards.

    Negative

    Would like the small Kudoboard to allow maybe 12 messages before having to pay the 5.99.

    For first time user maybe an unlimited amount of messages so they can get hooked.

    Date: May 19 2022
    Summary

    Lets our team collaborate in sharing good vibes, so important for remote work. Easy, pleasant to use interface.

    Positive

    It really is easy. I especially like how you can add images and gifs from within the app, and the auto reminder features to contributors.

    Negative

    Would be ideal if free version available for larger number of participants.

    Positive

    The ability to invite others via email and track their progress.
    The ease with which you can create one.

    Negative

    Features seem limited to me, but I don't know what else I would add.

    Great Features & Excellent Tool for Connecting

    Date: Apr 27 2022
    Summary

    My experience with this product has been excellent since the start of COVID and I would highly recommend it to any organization looking to celebrate milestones. This is far more engaging than passing a card around the office and far more discreet.

    Positive

    -The gift card feature helps raise funds even if colleagues aren't on site.
    -The board UI is super simple to navigate and I seldom ever have questions
    -Colleagues love getting to write heartfelt messages and even goof around with funny pictures

    Negative

    -Wish there were more background options
    -Gift card feature charge is reasonable but seems a little high
    -When printing the board into a book or poster, the animated pictures get a little pixelated

    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.

    Specific Categories for Occasions.
    Work Appropriate.
    Convenient.

    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.
