    Date: Dec 01 2024
    Summary

    Would definitely recommend! We used to buy cards for every occasion, but this is has made celebrating so much easier!

    Positive

    Easy to get everyone together to celebrate and share love with someone. There are fun personalize the board and the message being left. Also, its logistically easy, allowing for schedule sends and sharing. Its also great that you can attach a gift through Kudoboard, making it a one stop shop.

    No true cons because it super easy to use. I do wish AI was included to help create a message.

    Celebrating our most valuable assets!

    Date: Mar 12 2024
    Summary

    We have explored other ways every year to celebrate our individuals on their anniversaries and welcome our incoming new associates. Each time we keep coming back to Kudoboard is our best solution.

    Positive

    This has been a huge morale booster post-Covid as it allows our teams to still celebrate anniversaries of their co-workers and often friends. The once office celebrations are now done online and in a more memorable way where associates have printed them off or gone back to and referenced at another time.

    Negative

    It would be great to have the ability to load in our entire associate staff and their anniversary dates. From there have it auto send an email to all staff members whose anniversary it isn't seven days prior encouraging them to post a message / gif on that individual's page.

    Kudoboard for everyone

    Date: Apr 01 2024
    Summary

    Overall, the ease of using Kudoboard makes it enjoyable for everyone.
    will recommend this to other people.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is a platform that has been an excellent way to express our appreciation for our colleagues, our team is spread out to different countries so having one channel for everyone to collaborate is really nice. we can also customize it to represent the likings of the person who will receive the board.

    Negative

    Sometime i forgot to set when the board will be delivered, I hope there will be a feature in the future to have this as an required field of at least a prompt so that we won't forget.

    Kudoboard Obsessed

    Date: Oct 09 2024
    Summary

    My overall experience has been very positive! I've been a Kudoboard user for 2-3 years now and I love it! I have a lot of fun setting up the boards and even more fun finding a GIF to use for my message! GREAT site, GREAT experience, HUGE fan. Thank you!

    Positive

    Kudoboard is easy, there are options/card designs for any and every event and I love that everyone can add their own image or GIF to personalize each individual message. I use Kudoboard for team birthday cards, farewell cards, get well cards, all kinds of cards and everyone always enjoys them! The ability to schedule when it is sent is also a huge pro and a feature that I love. I'll continue to use Kudoboard as long as it's available!

    Negative

    No cons in my opinion. I really do love Kudoboard!

    Reliable and exciting

    Date: Dec 26 2024
    Summary

    i love being able to use Kudoboard as an accessible way to celebrate and share wins with a global workforce. I think there's an opportunity to venture into the video collection versions of these too, maybe an integration or collaboration with Canva to be able to differently edit, etc.

    Positive

    Easy to setup and archive the boards when using or after i had completed, liked the ability to drag posts around

    Negative

    i don't love the interface it feels very "cartoonish" or "cliparty" and I would love to see a more modernized design.

    I love how we can include gift cards. So easy and seamless.

    Negative

    Would like a bit more depth to the boards, more capabilities and options for gift other than monetary. For example. gifting a pretend gift. Like " This person sent you a virtual teddy"

    Fun suprise

    Date: May 04 2024
    Summary

    I guess, how is it really different than people just posting to a Facebook wall? I have gotten feedback from others on that.

    Positive

    Video, easy to share link and collaborate with others, automatically sends it, clean looking interface.

    Negative

    Cost, it would be helpful for the app to automatically send reminders (maybe that exists but I do not know).

    A great service to keep your employees happy with recognitions.

    Date: Nov 05 2024
    Summary

    Kudoboard has been a great software for my company, I must admit that thanks to this platform, I have been able to keep our employees happy, this platform has allowed us to send recognitions and achievements to employees located in the development, marketing, sales, human resources and many more sectors, our company is currently quite complete, and our employees perform well in their jobs, so this platform has been really useful to be able to recognize each of the tasks they perform in their offices. In general, I consider that the usefulness that this platform has had has been completely beneficial for my company and has allowed our employees to be happy and strive even more to belong to the ranking of employees with the most achievements and recognitions. I will continue to use this platform in the long term, I consider that it has had a positive impact on my company, and I want this positive impact to last much longer.

    Positive

    For us, Kudoboard became an extremely important platform for recognizing the achievements of each of our employees. The features that I liked most about this platform were:

    1- This platform offers us a monitoring system for each of the recognitions that we send to each of the employees, in this way we can keep complete control of the recognitions that we provide to employees in the different areas of the company. The platform allows us to have a complete record and a database of the recognitions given at any time, we can consult the recognitions provided last year or this year, this is relatively important for us, having this database helps us understand which employee has had the most recognitions over the course of the company.

    2- I love the way in which this platform allows me to send monetary recognitions to my employees, I can send these recognitions by email. Thanks to this platform, it provides me with a system for creating gift cards, either to send to an employee when they have achieved something in the company or when it is a birthday, this function is very important for us, since we can send gifts at any time to keep our employees happy.

    3- I love the automated function in which the platform automatically provides me with a ranking of the most outstanding employees in my company or the employees who have received the most recognition from this platform. This function is one of the most important, since I can quickly see which is the most outstanding employee or which is the employee who has received the most achievements in my company

    4- The application for mobile devices also works wonderfully, and these provide complete accessibility to my control panel. Within this platform, I can send all kinds of recognitions just by using my mobile device.

    Negative

    There are very few negative things that I have noticed about this platform, these negative things were:

    1- This platform did not provide me with a wide variety of templates designed for each of the recognitions that I gave to my employees, in this way, I had the need to import new templates of my own in order to provide a much more complete design to my recognitions. I consider that this platform should offer much more attractive designs to add to the labels or recognitions that you give to your employees, this would be great since you could vary the design that you use for your recognitions.

    2- Another thing that I did not like is that the free version of this platform is quite limited, we currently use a paid version in our company, however, we lasted approximately a week, using the free version to be able to test it properly, and I must admit that this free version is too limited, it limits the number of designs that you can use in your recognitions, it limits the number of recognitions that you can create for your employees, as well as it limits the number of recognitions that you can send to your employees, it is a completely limited version.

    Kudoboard is a powerful tool to engage with staff and friends alike. I will continue to use it in the future.
