    Great for Thanking and Stewardship

    Date: Sep 18 2022
    Summary

    It was easy to set this up and didn't take long at all. I liked that the kudoboards were so colorful. It's great to do this all electronically as opposed to the old-fashioned notecards.

    Positive

    It was great that I could share this with a group of people and get a wide selection of messages from them thanking our speakers. It was also great to set a delivery date and know that they would be delivered on time.

    Negative

    It's sometimes difficult to find an image that fits your mood. There are quite a few to pick from, I just had a hard time deciding.

    Great way to recognize team members

    Date: Sep 08 2022
    Summary

    Great tool for sending congratulations, celebrating milestones etc.. with the team. It really makes it easy to include the whole team in celebrating others when we work in a remote environment.

    Positive

    Easy to put together and fun to be able to include images and gifs with text.
    The schedule delivery feature makes it really easy for me to send a board out to the team, set when it is to be delivered, and then forget about it.

    Negative

    Nothing that I don't like. I'm cheap, so I guess it would be nice to be able to have more contributors on the free boards.

    Excellent substitute for passing a greeting card around for signatures

    Updated: Oct 24 2022
    Summary

    This tool has been great during the pandemic to help our team celebrate birthdays, retirements and connect virtually.

    Positive

    I like the ability to celebrate virtually, schedule delivery and personalize each greeting. The ability to upload images is a nice feature but it is time consuming searching, saving and uploading.

    Negative

    I wish there were more gender-neutral backgrounds and that the images were easier to sort so that we don't have to continuously scroll to get to an image that has not yet been used.

    Date: Jun 08 2022
    Summary

    Fun, easy, and affordable way to let know team members you're thinking of them. It's a nice digital alternative to the traditional cards and very useful as a manager!

    Positive

    It's a fun tool to have in the office as it let you celebrate birthday wishes, congratulations, anniversaries and more. It does wonders for morale and keeps the team connected more than ever.

    Negative

    It would be great to send audio only messages or at least add a few more background options for video.

    Great way to thank someone!

    Date: May 09 2022
    Summary

    Kudoboard is such a great way to virtually pat someone on the back, thank them, wish them well... it's been such a good solution to passing a card around. Scheduled delivery makes sure no one forgets to share it on time. <3

    Positive

    Simple to use, easy to navigate the website and customize. Love how we can add photos, GIFs etc to make it personal and fun.

    Negative

    We use as birthday cards as well.. would love the option to have an email reminder to send the following year (like GroupGreeting). Maybe a reminder email an hour before scheduled delivery as well? Perhaps font options as well, though that may take away from the aesthetic...

    Makes celebrating in the workplace easy!

    Date: May 09 2022
    Summary

    Overall I think this is a great way for teams to recognize their teammates, whether it be birthdays or accomplishments.

    Positive

    I like how easy it is to have all your coworkers contribute to a virtual celebration. From setup to delivery of the Kudoboard, the experience is seamless and easy for anyone to do!

    Negative

    There is not anything I can think of that I do not like. With everyone working hybrid at my company these days, it is the easiest way for us to sign birthday cards etc.

    Date: Nov 09 2022
    Summary

    Simple, easy to use product that allows recognition in today's digital world. Good investment for leadership.

    Positive

    Easy login via SAML and ability to customize the board. Pulling in GIFs make it a fun surprise especially for any team jokes, etc.

    Negative

    There can be a lot of Kudoboards flying around at once so people can ignore but overall this is a culture thing vs product feedback.

    Would like to see automation of boards based on dates plugged into the system.

    Kudoboard Brings Joy

    Date: May 12 2022
    Summary

    I love the ease of creating a Kudoboard and that can send to people for many reasons. I like how there is no limit to the number of individuals who can sign a Kudoboard and that can send a board to many people at once.

    Positive

    The different categories of picture you can pick from. I like how easy it is when a Kudoboard is sent from someone else to log in and post a message to the Kudoboard.

    Negative

    Some of the button functions like scheduling board delivery are not readily apparent of what intended for. Navigating when you create a Kudoboard is a little difficult. Also I would like to see more GIFs to pick from.

    Complimenting just got easier with WFH

    Date: Aug 16 2022
    Summary

    It was fun and a colorful way to express our wishes and gratitude online within a closed group. Loving it!

    Positive

    It is simple and easy to use, has great range of features for customizing the background and even to add gif/ pictures. Helps to preserve the memory for our loved ones. We have used it multiple times for farewell and birthday wishes especially during the pandemic when we could not meet and greet in person.

    Negative

    Very less entries per board (only 10).
    Mandatory sign up for adding message (to have an account to create a board makes sense but even to add message do we need to create an account?)

    Date: Nov 25 2022
    Summary

    Great for what it does! Again, could have more free features and more background to choose from, which are its main drawbacks.

    Positive

    Ease of use! also fun to use for either friends or coworkers. people don't need much of a tutorial to work the site.

    Negative

    Only 10 free signatures allowed - would be great if there could be 15-20 allowed for free.
