    Kudo Board for the Win

    Date: Nov 18 2022
    Summary

    This was a great way to recognize team members that are retiring, getting a new role, leaving to a new company and so much more. I have used them for more than one reason and they are always a hit.

    Positive

    They are very colorful and fun. There are many ways to add sentiment (words, GIF, picture or all of the above). It is easy to share to get others to sign it. The automatic delivery that is an option is great.

    Negative

    There are not as many options for a retirement for the background.

    Great tool for a teleworking team!

    Date: Apr 29 2022
    Summary

    This is a great, highly flexible tool for helping groups of any size to have social recognition and feel connected.

    Positive

    This is a great, highly flexible tool for helping groups of any size to have social recognition and feel connected. The ability to use animated GIFs, videos and static images from any source really provides great customization options. It allows social media – level of interaction recognition and satisfaction without having to employ any of the large commercial social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. In this way, it is not necessary for all or any of the members of your team to have social media access in order to benefit from this type of social interaction.

    Negative

    Tutorials for novice users to log in using single sign-on, would be helpful.

    Kudoboard deliver success!

    Date: Oct 18 2022
    Summary

    I have had so much positive feedback on the Kudo boards that I have sent, that it makes me happy knowing that we brought a smile to someone's face and made the day a little brighter than it was. I highly recommend everyone use Kudoboard for sending "cards" for any and all occasions to the people in their workplace.

    Positive

    It is such a great way to send cards to colleagues and get others to "sign" the cards- virtually, keeping us all connected during these times we are in now, that most everyone is working from home or a hybrid schedule. No longer are the days that we physically take a card around the office for others to sign. The Kudoboard is so easy to use and has great tools to make each board look so great for the recipient. It delivers joy and appreciation and lets the person know they are thought of and that is success!

    Negative

    I have to remember to go in and change the time zone before I set up the delivery or it will send it at a different time then I was planning. Not really a con, just something I need to pay attention to.

    Love this Kudoboard

    Date: Dec 07 2022
    Summary

    I love the easy access, uploading of images, you name it. Instead of buying a card, I go to Kudoboard!

    Positive

    Everything! Especially the fact that others can add their personal messages. I like the feature that I get notified with others have posted as well.

    Negative

    The only thing I had trouble with was finding the group email access. I had to click from one link to the other, but I found it.

    Does it all for you

    Date: Oct 10 2022
    Summary

    A great way for the whole team to be able to write in a card when we work from home and cannot physically get a card round to everyone.

    Positive

    I love that you can schedule delivery so you don't forget and one link does all and there are lots of themes.

    Negative

    A little pricey. Could do with some more birthday themes.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is easy to use to create cards for any occasion. Tons of backgrounds to choose from, with options to use GIFs, emojis, or upload your own pictures, etc. Fun!

    Negative

    No cons that I can think of. I love that my team has a corporate account which makes it even easier to login and start a Kudoboard.

    Positive

    Great and easy tool for sending virtual birthday cards and other celebrations. Very easy to send to others and schedule delivery to recipient.

    Great virtual tool to send wishes to someone special!

    Date: May 10 2022
    Summary

    Great overall impression! keep up the good work and especially the ease of use. Please keep adding new backgrounds.

    Positive

    It's really easy to set up, easy to schedule for delivery, and simple to use. Lots of great background designs that make the life of a busy admin assistant that much better! and the reaction from recipients is always very positive, even for those virtual cards that have a more somber tone (sympathy cards, get well cards). Love it.

    Negative

    The cost... but then I'd be a fool to say I love to pay for things.

    Love it!!!!!

    Date: Aug 26 2022
    Summary

    Overall an excellent product! Great way to circulate a card among colleagues. Easy to share and schedule delivery. Should be a bit more than 10 contributors for free board or have a cheaper option for more than 10 but less than 100.

    Positive

    Great GIFs bank to add if we wish to. Lots of emojis available. Choices of different backgrounds for different occasions.

    Negative

    Only 10 people can add to free board or have to pay $5.99 for 11 to 100 contributors.

    Date: Jul 19 2022
    Summary

    10/10 would recommend, especially for this virtual working space we operate in! It's fun, people enjoy it!

    Positive

    I really love this tool as a way to recognize people. We mainly use it for milestone anniversaries at work, but the use of Giphys and photos makes it fun and engaging. Recipients are always delighted to open this up.

    Negative

    I wish I had more background design options - seems limited for the category I am using and I would like to use a new one every time so it feels personal and not redundant.

    Date: May 27 2022
    Summary

    Kudos to Kudoboard. The platform is easy to use and is an easy way to recognize a team member, particularly during the pandemic, when we don't gather and can't "circulate" a card to sign. I highly recommend it.

    Positive

    Easy to use; easy to invite other people to join in; fun graphics. Team members feel recognized and appreciated when a card is received.

    Negative

    There are no features that I do not like.

    Quick awards for all types of employees via email.

    Date: Dec 23 2022
    Summary

    Kudoboard has meant a lot to me and to the whole company, with the help of this platform I have been able to reward all the employees thanks to the work they have done within my company, in addition, this platform has also been able to have a record in a database which allows me to view in real time all the awards that have been sent to a specific employee, in addition, this platform also has a positioning system, where the employees who have received the most awards and those who have received the least are shown. received, for which, thanks to this system, I can meet the employees who have not yet received any award. I have really loved the experience I had within this platform, I believe that this platform has allowed our employees to be more satisfied in our company, therefore, it has also allowed us to retain all those employees, providing some type of bonus or some type of award for recently completed work, without a doubt, this platform is very complete and allows me to send all kinds of awards quickly.

    Positive

    Kudoboard has been an excellent platform to be able to add any type of important date for our employees, it is an excellent platform to obtain employee retention, achieving the satisfaction of each one of them with Reminders of their birthday dates, and important dates for them . The things I liked the most about this platform were:

    1- One of the main features that I liked is that this platform allows me to create a personalized card for each of the employees, this card can be sent to the contact details of each of the employees, those cards can get a design exclusive, you can make use of each template offered by this platform to have an optimized design in each of the cards for your employees, in addition, the cards are sent immediately to the employees via email when that specific date arrives.

    2- It is not necessary to configure each of the important dates of our employees again, just by assigning a specific date for a card to be sent to an employee, you can configure so that this platform immediately re-sends that card every year, You will not have to configure this platform again or assign the date again so that your employee can receive important mail from your company on special dates. For example, this is great for your employees' birthdays, as they will receive a notification and card each time they have a birthday.

    3- I also love that the platform allows me to add a work anniversary date for each employee, this is fantastic since every time an employee has completed one year within our company, we can send them an incentive through this platform and also a card personalized, so that you can properly celebrate it's anniversary, this function is very important to remember the work anniversary of each employee.

    4- Another of the things that I like about this platform that has a large catalog of awards, this Catalog allows me to send gift cards to each of the employees when a recent recognition has been granted, this gift card function is very important to me as i can send gift card along with congratulations card for some kind of anniversary or for some kind of birthday.

    Negative

    The main negative features of this platform were:


    1- The first negative feature of this platform is that the awards catalog does not load correctly in the version for mobile devices, which makes it difficult to send economic recognition to employees through this application. I totally recommend that if you is going to send an award to an employee, the version for computers is used, it is much more optimal and is capable of correctly loading the catalog system.

    2- The prices offered by the platform are also somewhat high, despite the fact that you do not have to pay additional commissions for the gift card that your employees have sent and you do not have to pay commissions for each shipment of the recognition card, I consider that This platform should lower the price of its plans, both the monthly subscription and the annual subscription, since I consider that they are very high.

    3- Another negative thing about this form is that there is no way to import a list of contacts into it, therefore, when you are starting to use this platform for the first time, you will have to manually register the contact of each one of them. your employees, so that they can receive the recognitions you send them and also the gift card, this is quite a painstaking process, having to register all the employees manually can turn out to be quite a complex process.
