    A convenient tool for group greetings

    Date: May 03 2022
    Summary

    I have been using Kudoboard and will continue doing so. It's a great tool that enables anyone to create a simple but effective digital group board for a special occasion.

    Positive

    Easy to use, many useful settings, you sit back and watch the birthday boys and girls get their greetings.

    Negative

    Could offer more backgrounds. Suggestion: option to blur the background.

    Kudos to Kudoboard

    Date: Jun 06 2022
    Summary

    Overall I like it. It is a nice way to recognize people and I like the addition of adding a gift card which I have done for my employees in the past. It has a simple interface that is very easy to use; uncomplicated. Is it possible to add a single background sound/song (welcome to the myspace generation) that could play to set the mood/tone?

    Positive

    I really like the gif options. There are a lot of options. I also enjoy being able to schedule delivery.

    Negative

    I wish that we could schedule delivery on the half hour and not just the hour as an option. Also, I find that when I am just working off my laptop (versus attached to an external monitor) the screens are more difficult to maneuver when scheduling delivery; it cuts off the calendar option until I log back into an external monitor. I'm not sure if it is my settings or the system though so I'm noting it here. Would love some additional design options though for work anniversaries, welcomes and people leaving only because those seem to be the ones we use most.

    Pretty good but expensive service

    Date: Apr 11 2022
    Summary

    Overall I feel like there could be cheaper ways to do this but it is convenient and everyone easily understands how to use it.

    Positive

    It's easy to create group greetings and I like the ability to add GIFs. Easier than going and buying a physical card for lots of people to sign.

    Negative

    It's expensive for what you actually get and could be a lot cheaper. No option to purchase in alternative currencies which leads to bank charges in the UK.

    Kudoboard Review for Sourceforge

    Date: Jul 29 2022
    Summary

    My overall experience with Kudoboard is great but, if the accessibility of outsiders to sign Kudoboard links is a possibility that would be the icing on the cake so to speak.

    Positive

    I love the ease of creating a Kudoboard with the settings options that are plentiful to choose from as a background as well as the functionality of the delivery of the Kudoboard to the receiver. I like the personal notes that are provided in the settings as well as being able to upload pictures to the add to the Kudoboard.

    Negative

    I do not like that sharing a Kudoboard link with outsiders to add or sign is not possible since, the Kudoboard access is only for the users on the account. If there is a way that the link can be shared with outsiders to sign it would be beneficial. Our company wants to have the ability to have others sign Kudoboards without the party being part of the account as a user.

    Thank You, Kudoboard!!!

    Date: Oct 24 2022
    Summary

    We all love Kudoboard and highly recommend it to everyone!

    Positive

    Friendly user.... straightforward to navigate. Having Kudoboard during the pandemic was the best way to wish everyone on any occasion and location around the globe. It brought joy to everyone. We ALL love Kudoboard!

    Negative

    If they can bring the icon or make it more visible the date, delivery, and email of the person you're sending the greetings would really help.

    Great Tool!!

    Date: Dec 29 2022
    Summary

    This has been a great tool in our workplace and has been used for a number of new baby, and retirement celebrations. We are a global company, and colleagues from all over are able to access and include their sentiments/photos, etc.
    We have even purchased a few kudoboard books as a lasting keepsake to retirees.
    I like that the board can always be accessed, and can still be added to after sent to the recipient.
    Overall, we love it!

    Positive

    Easy to use;
    Perfect when you have global colleagues;
    Can send instantly to recipient;
    Love that you can add photos/gifs;
    Love the book feature;
    Convenient.

    Negative

    I don't have any cons - we enjoy this software and I don't have anything negative to say.

    Great Card option for Offices

    Date: May 11 2022
    Summary

    I have sent a few Kudo cards and each time the recipient was very happy and the whole process was well received.

    Positive

    It is simple to get participation from everyone in your staff by just forwarding the link. There are lots of GIF's and templates to personalize your response on the card. You can schedule delivery, so you don't have to worry about it not reaching the recipient in time.

    Negative

    There is nothing that I can think of, besides the price.

    Positive

    Negative

    I've been using the pricing per board option and that ends up being a bit pricey.

    Summary

    Such a great product, easy to use and simple to send out to teams to write their messages. A great product that our company can depend on.

    Positive

    How user friendly it is, it's also at such a great price. You can't get a card at the store for less than this anymore.

    Negative

    More sympathy backgrounds, possibly other features could be included in the price.

    Positive

    I like the GIFS, the ease of set up, the way it makes me and my team members smile. It's easy to celebrate people and events.

    Negative

    I'd like to send it to more than 10 people for free but that's because I don't have a budget for this.

    Great way to cheer on your teammates

    Date: Oct 13 2022
    Summary

    This is a very useful tool for helping to keep the team connected while working from home, and celebrating the little things can sometimes have a big impact.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is a fun and easy way to get your whole team involved in celebrating special occasions (birthdays, work anniversaries, promotions, retirements, etc.), and has been a great way to connect people with so many now working remotely.

    Negative

    If you don't have your own go-to library of gifs and memes for special occasions it can sometimes take a while to find what you're looking for in the built-in giphy library.

    Positive

    Design options (e.g fonts, backgrounds).
    Options to add GIFs.
    It feels more fun than a card.
    Easy to share and collaborate with others on.

    Negative

    I wish there was an annual subscription, as I use it frequently.

    LOVE the Kudoboard

    Date: Apr 06 2022
    Summary

    Kudoboard is great for work, recommend it highly. It is a great way to recognize people and keep in touch in the work from home environment.

    Positive

    Easy to use, love that I can schedule delivery and add personal pictures. Also love that the person receiving it can send a thank you. I found Kudoboard by accident when looking for an electronic card service delivery. After sending the first KUDO my company loved it and we opened a company board account.

    Negative

    I wish there were more designs to choose from - some of the designs do not fit what I want to do.

    Great Teambuilding Tool that is so easy to use.

    Date: Nov 08 2022
    Summary

    Very easy to use, very customizable, savvy and very efficient. I have recommended this to many other colleagues and I have been using it at 2 different companies.

    Positive

    I have used Kudoboard for the last 2.5 years and I love working with it. I use it for group cards from my team, celebrating coworker life events. There are many ways to customize messages, I can include images, links, gif images, etc. Also, you can set up delay send and just add the email address that it should go to, after specifying the when information.

    Negative

    I would like to upload my own images for the backdrop. Sometimes, the images available don't quite fit the bill. Also, some of the images are too busy for my taste or they are too cartoonish. Otherwise, I love your program.

    Kudoboard Keeps Colleagues Connected!

    Date: Sep 14 2022
    Summary

    I'm so glad a coworker recommended Kudoboard to me. I've used it many times for staff and coworkers and love it. It's a wonderful option to stay connected in a primarily remote work world. As someone who has received one as well it's very nice and I love this way to stay connected.

    Positive

    I love that this is an easy fun way to celebrate members on my team -whether it's work achievements, birthdays, or life milestones! Kudoboard allows colleagues to all participate and leave comments, GIFs, images and more! The final product is fun and easy to use and collaborate on. The use and communication is clear and they offer both free options and more extensive paid options which are perfect for groups of various sizes.

    Negative

    Honestly, I love it. Maybe some more background choices, but overall it's a great product!
