    Very Easy - Great for the Workplace!

    Date: Dec 26 2025
    Summary

    It is a much better alternative than passing around a card for each birthday! Would recommend for any workplace.

    Positive

    It is very easy to use, even for our teammates who are not tech-savvy. Even though it's a digital card, you can still make a card feel personable.

    Negative

    I wish that there were more options for backgrounds.

    Great tool for creating cards for celebrations and leaving occassions

    Date: Nov 18 2025
    Summary

    A great tool that is easy to use and I rarely look for any other alternative. Print out /download could use larger fonts to better fill the space.

    Positive

    A really easy to use tool to share and add comments from teams across regions for team members going through special occasions.
    Easy to print out afterwards to via downloading of a high quality image.

    Negative

    Little to dislike maybe the price and a few more options for background themes.
    Font size on print out could be bigger or bolder, more use of blank space could be used for this.

    Creating Kudoboard- easy and fun!

    Date: Apr 01 2025
    Summary

    Kudoboards makes it easier for all team members to interact and give shout outs. Easy to maintain and keep record of all of your shout outs.

    Positive

    The streamline of creating easy Kudoboards. Being able to send one mass email without the need to keep track. It's a fun way to communicate with teams.

    Negative

    Would like to have more background options and reminders to be more often for those that have not contributed a Kudoboard.

    Great product and fun cards!

    Date: Jul 07 2025
    Summary

    Way better than passing around the physical card around the office for a note. Everyone on the team has loved getting their own cards. And the emails that Kudoboard sends the administrators have contained some good suggestions.

    Positive

    I love that there are different ways to customize each card. And it's fun for people to add a GIF or picture to their messages :)

    Negative

    I wish it was easier for the recipient to keep the card.

    Great So Far!

    Date: Aug 15 2025
    Summary

    It's been a great experience, very intuitive to learn not a huge learning curve and easy for employees to use which is always a plus, the SSO is huge!

    Positive

    I have been loving the kudoboard, so much easier than emailing a virtual card, or using an in person one. People are really able to engage in all sorts of boards and events and it makes it easy to access anywhere for all our employees across the country. Customer service has been great about all my questions and responding quickly!

    Negative

    I dont have any cons off the top of my head just yet

    Corporate Kudoboard

    Date: Sep 02 2025
    Summary

    I like that you can schedule the delivery date and time. Wish there are more designs or can upload more options ourselves.

    Positive

    We have a corporate account. Really like that multiple users can contribute especially when many work remotely.

    Negative

    Staff don't like to be forced to create an account. Is there anyway to add input as a guest?

    Awesome

    Date: Sep 18 2024
    Summary

    I love it and we use it every time we have an occasion at work (farewells, giving birth, getting married, travelling etc.)

    Positive

    I like the idea and the whole thing..digital, adjustable background depending on the reason for the card, GIFs (add your own or search), how the creator of a card can adjust the arrangement, etc.

    Negative

    Price is a bit too much for the lowest number of people. Maybe introduce a cheaper version for up to 10 ppl?
    Plus needs more backgrounds for each option or the ability to upload our own background that would be great.

    Date: Sep 18 2024
    Summary

    Great platform that I haven't seen before, easy to use and automate, easy to collab with other teams and easy to share with the people that are being celebrated!

    Positive

    I love that you are able to schedule the boards from sending it to people to fill it out, to sharing it with the person thats being celebrated.

    Negative

    I wish there was a way to automate the dates when to send the boards, vs doing it manually.

    Having more variety for the board themes.

    Best e-Card Application - Useful for all Holidays and Events

    Date: Dec 05 2024
    Summary

    I come back to Kudoboard for everything work-related: a retirement, a layoff, a coworker's birthday, etc. It's the first place I go to when my virtual team is saying goodbye, congratulations, etc. to others in the workplace.

    Positive

    Everything about Kudoboard is easy - setup, sharing, adding gifts (money), reviewing/modifying and sending. I like how you can customize the layout on the fly by grabbing and moving content around. It's also fun to be able to upload your own images/gifs. You can set the background and choose different animations, such as hearts falling down the screen. You can share through the application, or copy/paste the link and send to others. There are different pricing plans, depending on the number of signees you're expecting. You can always upgrade if you need more people to sign.

    Negative

    The only thing I could say is the lack of backgrounds/animations. I chose a board for saying Farewell. The one option provided falling hearts. That wasn't appropriate for a coworker leaving. I didn't find anything else suitable, so I just removed it altogether.

    Positive

    Super easy to use and the collaboration that came happen amongst team members is great. I love that you can include fun gifs for added flair!

    Negative

    Not much to list here! If anything, cost might be a deterrent should you have a larger group of folks you are sending cards to. Otherwise, no real cons!

    Summary

    Kudoboard is a great site & offers great features. I've found it to be very user-friendly. All in all, love it!

    Positive

    I've used Kudoboard a handful of times now to get birthday greetings out to executives I support. I love how it brings all the greetings & love from fellow colleagues into one surprise virtual greeting card. I love the choices of GIF's, the themes to choose from, all of the things. I've found the site to be very user-friendly. All in all, loving it.

    Negative

    I liked it better when I was able to send them for free, or at least less than the $7 or whatever the charge is now. Lol.
