    Kudos to Kudoboard

    Date: Jul 18 2022
    Summary

    I have done only five Kudoboards. None of the people had ever used it. It's a fun creative way to say Happy Birthday and to see how others interpret their greeting.

    Positive

    Love that it is a way to remind/encourage family to say Happy Birthday or Good luck! It's fun to see everyone else's boards. It seems more personal/fun than sending someone an email to wish a happy birthday.

    Negative

    None that I can think of so far. :) Am a fairly new user, haven't had a negative experience.

    Great for quick work celebrations

    Date: Nov 07 2022

    Very useful for the work setting. Just need to send an email with the link asking people to sign and then it automatically gets sent to the recipient.

    Positive

    My team uses Kudoboard for all of our team members birthdays and celebrations. It's so quick and easy!

    Negative

    You have to pay for over 10 signatures which is usually needed at work.

    Great tool for recognition and other events in the workplace

    Date: Dec 16 2022
    Summary

    Highly recommend this product. I am ale to create reminders for upcoming events and setting up a board is very easy. We use this for work anniversaries, birthdays, kudos and even work contents and love it.

    Positive

    Boards can be automated to get delivered at a certain date/time.
    Inviting contributors is easy.
    Automatic reminders 24 hrs before the due date.
    Notification is made once recipient opens the board .
    Variety of items can be used from GIFs, to photos to home made video.
    Reminders can be set for qualifying events (birthday, anniversary remainders for certain individuals.)

    Negative

    I had to think really hard on this one. One feature I wish would be available is auto fill for email addresses I have used in the past for contributors. I create a good numbers of boards and have to manually input all addresses and it gets tedious.

    Appreciation of Kudoboards

    Date: Sep 29 2022
    Summary

    I truly enjoyed creating a card using Kudoboard. It has created a different culture now that people are working in a hybrid setting.

    Positive

    It allows people in different locations to share their well wishes in a card. It is convenient. While working remotely it provides a sense of connectedness.

    Negative

    I wish there were a few more background options when selecting a card theme.

    Date: Apr 21 2022

    Personal touch.

    The invite can get stuck in SPAM.

    Digitized Grassroot movement

    Date: Jul 25 2022
    Summary

    Not sure that milestones will ever be the same without Kudoboards. Excellent resource for leaders and event coordinators.

    Positive

    Bring everyone along... all you need is an email address. Build the momentum, raise awareness, and celebrate others. Easy to set up. There's a template for everyone and all occasions! The GIFs rock.

    Negative

    It's time to open this up to phone numbers, that kudos can come in via SMS too.

    Date: Sep 14 2022
    Summary

    Overall, I would recommend to those in the business workplace! Very easy to use and a pretty good price.

    Positive

    Really easy way to give appreciation or support to teammates at work. I also like that it sends updates as people are posting and when the recipient opens the board.

    Negative

    Could be more designs for the templates especially for those going through a hard time.

    Great for group cards

    Date: Jun 20 2022
    Summary

    Very easy to set up and get a link to send out. This is my go to for office cards. People who work remotely can easily sign so no need to pass a card around and track people down.

    Positive

    I always upgrade so that the recipient can keep it forever. The cost is low and the ability to add videos, gifs, or pics makes it fun.

    Negative

    There is nothing I do not like. Could maybe be more choices for gifs.

    Great Recognition and Celebration Program

    Date: Aug 26 2022
    Summary

    Overall, if you are looking for a way to recognize or celebrate someone using a link - this is for you.

    Positive

    This program has made it easy for me to recognize and celebrate my employees. With it's fun embedded pictures and GIF's as well as the ability to upload your own, it fits the bill!

    Auto delivery and email notifications make for easy administration.

    Negative

    Pricing may be too much for some users, which would be my only con.

    Kudoboard is so fun!

    Date: Nov 16 2022
    Summary

    Overall a great experience. It's been fun for the office to use and also to receive their Kudoboards. I think the team now looks forward to receiving their customized Birthday Kudoboard.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is an easy way for a team to celebrate their colleagues.
    Easy to use and customize. Maybe Kudoboard can have a feature that sends reminders out to participants who plan to sign.

    Negative

    Maybe there can be a feature to drop images (for custom backgrounds), WITH functions to stretch/crop images/add multiple images for the background.

    Simple to use and super nice to receive

    Date: Oct 17 2022
    Summary

    Really like my experience so far and the easy use. I like that we get reminders. We will definitely continue to use it!

    Positive

    It's super easy to use, other colleagues can quickly come and write a word. I like that we can put .gif and most of all that it can be delivered automatically and we can still continue to contributes afterwards.

    Negative

    I would like to be able to save it as a file and the person can still open it years later. I like that we can print it, but it's not the best. I would like to have more backgrounds. Also I would like the website to be available in french.

    It’s better than a physical card!

    Date: Nov 05 2022
    Summary

    Love this so much better than physical cards. Even upgrading it to be able to have more than ten people post is a low cost to me. Up to 100 posts! I love that we have the ability to send a gift is great! I can reach more people this way! I’m so happy I found Kudoboard!

    Positive

    Digital, ability to add gifs, images, stickers.
    Invitation sent by email and scheduling delivery.
    Ability to send gifts digitally.

    Positive

    Easy to set up.
    Easy to get others to contribute.
    Easy to deliver.
    Great choice of backgrounds, photos etc to add.

    Date: Apr 20 2022
    Summary

    Great product, continue to use almost every month for work events, a lot of people at work ask me what I use and I recommend this every time.

    Positive

    With the pandemic, this was amazing to send to my staff for any occasion, leaving, birthdays etc. and easy to send to all my employees to sign.

    Negative

    The price could be a little lower, with the exchange I spend $10 for 100 people to sign, I only need around 20-50 additions.

    Easy & Effective

    Date: Sep 16 2022
    Summary

    Overall, I've had a wonderful experience with Kudoboard, both on the receiving end of things and on the configuration side of things. I've received a few Kudoboards, and it's such a fun experience to open the link and see all of the messages people wrote on my behalf. I love that I can bring that joy to other people by coordinating boards to send to others.

    Positive

    The Kudoboard platform is easy to navigate, and I love so many of the features. 1) it's simple to change the background if I decide I don't like the initial one I choose, 2) setting up a future delivery is great - I can create the board and know it'll get delivered, 3) there are personalization options that make Kudoboards come alive (ability to upload your own images, choose a gif, change your font and color, etc.). I also like that I can receive a confirmation email that the board has been delivered and that the recipient opened it.

    Negative

    The option to print the Kudoboard into a book was expensive, especially for the product that was received. I wish there were options to partner with other vendors for book choices.

    Date: Nov 03 2022
    Summary

    As above, a simple, intuitive tool which allows collaborative input. I've used this multiple times in the last couple of years and find it is reasonably priced.

    Positive

    I use Kudoboard as a way to recognize my team members and celebrate things like their birthdays. Managing a number of employees located in different countries to myself means no face to face interaction in person so this goes a long way to helping me make them feel valued. It's a great tool that's really easy to use.

    Negative

    Nothing! The features of this product are all great. No need to change anything.

    Pretty awesome! I like it enough and it is super easy. I don't really have more words for me describe it.

    Positive

    It's easy to recognize people. Especially in our BIG office! I use it often since it is easier than passing around cards and losing them in the shuffle.

    Negative

    Wish we could upload our own background. It would be cool if we can upload our own backgrounds. More personalized.
