    Kudoboard is fun

    Date: Aug 26 2022
    Summary

    I have enjoyed being able to send fun boards to coworkers to recognize their birthdays and anniversaries.

    Positive

    The site is very easy to use. It is a simple and fun way to recognize people. I like that you can add text, images, or simple GIFs. It is easy to set deadlines and invite others to join.

    Negative

    The search for GIFs returns a small number so it can require some creative searching at times.

    Great for goodbyes and well wishes

    Date: Jul 11 2022
    Summary

    Good. I think that the best use cases for me and my team are for goodbyes. Otherwise I do not think that we would use them regularly.

    Positive

    I like that it’s easy for users to contribute. I can send private or public links out. People like the gifs.

    Negative

    Limitations and tiers of amounts of contribution. If I am paying for it it should be unlimited.

    Kudoboard Review

    Date: Oct 24 2022
    Summary

    I would recommend this product to others. It is a great way to celebrate someone's accomplishments and show them they are valued.

    Positive

    Ease of use, ability to customize how the board is sent and to whom it is sent. easy ability to add in Gifs and videos.

    Negative

    Sometimes it is hard to know everyone to send the board to since you may not know everyone they have interacted with. I also think it would be cool if there was a slack integration.

    Easy to use. Fun to find GIFs to use. Easy way to bring a smile to my teammates. It could not be easier to use and distribute.

    Easy to send a meaningful and fun message and involve the whole team. Love that you can schedule the delivery so that you can make it and then not have to worry about going back in later to deliver it. The staff thinks these are so fun.

    Helps Create a Better Work Environment

    Date: Nov 07 2022
    Summary

    Overall good experience except for the limitations on how many people can post. I use this product for team birthdays and congratulatory events.

    Positive

    The product is easy to use. It is straightforward for all team members to use, there is a good selection of GIFs to choose from.

    Negative

    Limit to number of people who can post without the premium version. I believe when I used to use it before there was no limit. So I started using it for that reason. Could use more background options.

    Great for Collaborative thank you cards

    Date: Apr 11 2022
    Summary

    It is very easy to use and the person receiving it feels appreciated too. Also, it does not look or feel half-hearted in the perspective of giving and receiving.

    Positive

    Some of the pros are that everyone can write in their own time, the delivery can be scheduled, and the use of gifs.

    Negative

    There are not much cons using Kudoboard, but if there is one con it is that it is expensive for a e-card.

    Great virtual card!

    Date: Sep 13 2022
    Summary

    Fantastic! I have created over 20 kudoboards, there is a reason I keep coming back! It is super easy to use and the interface is very intuitive.

    Positive

    I love the ease with which you can customize the Kudoboard and ask for contributions. You can simply copy the link and others can add GIFs, pictures or messages rapidly. The feature of programming a delivery time is fantastic as well and takes the stress out of planning.

    Negative

    Really, there is nothing I didn’t like about it! I do wish that we could have 20 contributors on the free version or a corporate, or team annual fee would be amazing.

    Great for Company Birthdays!

    Date: Dec 13 2022
    Summary

    I love Kudoboard. I had never used it until this year, and seeing how user-friendly it is, and how people in my department responded so well to using it (and enjoyed receiving a board on their own birthday!), we decided it was well worth it to get the annual subscription.

    Positive

    Kudoboard has provided the easiest way to wish everyone in our department of 30 people a Happy Birthday! Gone are the days of hunting everyone down to sign a paper card. With so many now working remotely, this is hands-down the best!

    Negative

    Not Kudoboard's fault, but my company has blocked the images/gifs being used. I'm working on getting that fixed, but I have had to add a personal note to each recipient to open their board on a device not on the company VPN.

    I use it a lot for Thank Yous and Birthday Greetings.

    Positive

    It's very user friendly and customizable to the recipient's personality.

    Great way to reward all employees and make them feel welcome.

    Date: Jun 11 2022
    Summary

    The satisfaction of our employees has improved over time and with the help of this platform, we have been using it for a little over a year, and the results have been groundbreaking as all of our employees have been more motivated as they know that at any time we can provide them with an award for correctly completing their tasks. I should also mention that this platform has incredible automation when it comes to sending birthday greeting cards, we have the dates of birth of all our employees, so with the help of this platform we have created an automated system which is capable of sending a greeting card to all our employees by email and messaging, This automated process has made our employees feel comfortable with us since we have remembered their important dates. I must admit that our overall experience with this platform has been excellent, all of our employees are happy to be using this great service as they can receive rewards from us at any time. It is important to note that to send a gift card as an award to our employees, the platform does not charge any type of additional commission for this award, that is, no additional taxes must be paid.

    Positive

    Giving constant recognition to our employees for each of their tasks and for important dates for them is one of the most important things for us, therefore, the implementation of Kudoboard was essential, it is a very important system to cause satisfaction among all our employees. . With this platform we have been able to design all kinds of greeting cards, anniversaries, counting prizes for these recognitions and many other things, without a doubt this software has been important to give recognition to our employees. During our experience I have liked several things about this platform, the most notable were the following: Kudoboard It is a fairly simple platform to use, any of our employees can use it to send gift cards, congratulations, cards for a birthday or an anniversary of work, its interface in general is quite familiar to everyone and this helps anyone without previous experience to use it and generate greeting cards. Another of the main things that I liked about this platform is that it allows me to send awards to my employees. This platform has a great list of prizes available to send to employees, such as gift cards, cash prizes and many more prizes, This variety in the awards helps me to provide different recognition for each employee depending on the activity that has been completed. I should also mention that I love the way this platform saves all the awards I have previously made, so I can have full control of the employees who have already received an award, to avoid duplicate awards.

    Negative

    One of the main things that is necessary in this platform is that a function be implemented that allows adding a goal to be completed for each employee, it is very important for us that our employees increasingly strive to complete their activities and be the best within of the company, so it would be great if we could create a goal for them to complete in order to be recognized by us. It would be great to be able to manage all these goals from the platform, currently this is not possible, we cannot add a goal for each employee individually. Another thing that this platform does not have is that it is not possible to know exactly which employee has received the most awards, we cannot know which employee has received the most awards and which has received few awards, there is no type of list which is able to order employees and their recognition by positions. To know exactly which employee has received the most recognition, we must do this inspection manually, since, as I mentioned previously, there is no type of leaderboard.

    Perfect for a geographically dispersed team!

    Date: Nov 10 2022
    Summary

    Fantastic piece of kit for sending a new type of e-card or messaging board, especially for a team who are geographically distanced, to an individual for a special event or to send kind words of support, it really helps to bring the team together without actually sending a physical card around the office for everyone to sign.

    Positive

    Easy to use and user friendly for contributors.
    Looks fantastic.
    Great range of messaging styles available for different events eg birthdays, congrats and condolences.
    FREE for up to 10 contributors, which is great when you don't have a budget for these kind of things.

    Negative

    Hard to say.
    Autocorrect on names is annoying sometimes ;-)

    Can't go wrong with Kudoboard!

    Date: May 12 2022
    Summary

    Overall great and easy to use tool to promote good staff culture, and celebrate friends and their accomplishments or milestones!

    Positive

    Love that it is user friendly and easy to setup and execute from start to finish! I've used it for benchmark events such as co-worker engagements, work anniversaries, and work farewells. I love that you can add gifs easily and give it your personal touch. It's also a very adaptable format going from PC to mobile. Overall love that its a way to celebrate others while working remotely.

    Negative

    Wish there were more fonts, and backgrounds to choose from! Also wish the add a video function was a little more customizable or user friendly.

    Summary

    Overall this website is awesome and I would recommend it to others :) you are able to make others feel special on their birthday. I feel like that is important.

    Positive

    I love using Kudos board as a fun new way to celebrate birthdays. It lets everyone post their own message digitally so they don’t have to come together in one spot to sign a card.
