    Great for the workplace!

    Date: Jul 06 2023
    Summary

    Good. It's a great product to use in the workplace in place of the super large cards that had to be physically circulated around the office and excluded employees at other sites.

    Positive

    I like that it's super easy to set up, our workforce can access it from all sites and locations and we can customise our additions with gifs, images and memes.

    Negative

    I'd like to be able to customise the board more. Change the header colour as well as the background to suit the recipient. I'd also like more diverse backgrounds to suit different hemispheres and cultures, not just US.

    Great Collaboration card

    Date: Feb 01 2023
    Summary

    I like this product and I prefer it when selecting online cards overall the price compares with other products that they are free.

    Positive

    I like the options to add photos, videos, gifs, and sharing with our colleagues around the world. We are an international company.

    Negative

    Maybe more designs of backgrounds. And the price also.

    Kudoboard Review

    Date: Mar 30 2023
    Summary

    Highly recommend this product. Our team uses it to send digital birthday notes. The option of being able to print out the Kudoboard is great!

    Positive

    Very easy to use.
    Sends notification after recipient opens their Kudoboard.
    Provides options to modify text.

    Negative

    Pricing is the only con, though our team is small enough so that we can use the free trial version.

    Great Use for Team Appreciation

    Updated: Aug 10 2023
    Summary

    Overall kudoboard is fantastic. The team loves using kudoboard and we even have our other companies using it as well. It serves the purpose of company entertainment, achievement, and kindness.

    Positive

    Kudoboard is great for teams that enjoy company culture. It is a nice way to allow team members to share notes or messages for special occasions that just add a little more to a persons day. It unites the team!

    Negative

    I would say the background choices could use a little bit of an upgrade. I do create mine as customs, but it would be nice to not have to create them and have some decent celebration choices.

    Very easy and efficient

    Updated: Feb 16 2023
    Summary

    Overall, I have no major complaints and would definitely recommend Kudoboard. It gets the job done with minimal effort required which makes life much easier.

    Positive

    I really like Kudoboard as it is very easy to set up a Kudoboard, it is very straight forward and also very easy to distribute. I use it at work for staff birthdays. I really appreciate them.

    Negative

    The only aspect I don't like is that the free board has a maximum number of people who can sign it, but recently I have not been using Kudoboard for big groups of people so have not been affected directly thankfully.

    Summary

    Will continue to use and recommend to others. Kudoboard is easy to use and has great background options.

    Positive

    Easy way to send greetings and get the whole team to collaborate. Like that it remembers my contacts so I don't have to ask them each time.

    Negative

    Was unable to add my own GIF. I paid for an upgrade and was still told that my board was full.

    Date: Nov 03 2023
    Summary

    Pretty good experience with Kudoboard so far, as stated in my "Pro" section, I do enjoy it as I use it for work, to show love and appreciation to my team for birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

    Positive

    I do enjoy being able to send my team work anniversaries, birthday etc. It makes it easy to have fun ideas for the staff and team alike.

    Negative

    Not much that I dislike, I think the only thing that could be better is being able to mass copy and paste emails for the same people.

    Positive

    The accessibility of the product; the way you can add pictures and gifs is super engaging; really easy to celebrate your workforce!

    I don't love that you can't buy a smaller package of boards - I would be looking for 15-20 in a package deal personally!

    Date: Oct 12 2023
    Summary

    Love the product, keep on making it easy and fun! I recommend Kudoboard to everyone at work and I've become a trendsetter because now everyone on my team uses the same.

    Positive

    I use Kudoboard all the time for work birthdays on my team. Super easy to set up, takes 2 seconds, and love the GIPHY integration. Love the addition of being able to add gift card funds.

    Negative

    There's none I can think of. I guess maybe if the price was cheaper since it has recently increased.

    Date: Jul 02 2023

    Positive

    Kudoboard is easy to use and share, includes GIFs and video features, include a variety of themes, and has an engaging interface.

    Negative

    Nothing I can think of at this time. It has worked well for me.

    Great way to celebrate coworkers

    Date: Jun 20 2023
    Summary

    Overall, I would recommend this for any professional setting where you'd like to celebrate a team member's birthday, send-off or give kudos!

    Positive

    It is a great way to celebrate coworker birthdays when teams are spread across multiple offices. This is my primary use for Kudoboard.

    Negative

    Overall it functions really well, but I wish there were more background designs to choose from when setting up the Kudoboard.

    Free Version Great For Small Teams

    Date: Feb 06 2023
    Summary

    I am an assistant and this platform allows me to help keep morale up as we are all still working from home. It is easy for my team members to add something quickly and get back to their work. It works for all occasions I have had the want to use it for. I will continue to use it.

    Positive

    Easily sent to email addresses, fun to pick GIF when you aren't good with words, and plenty of options to choose from.

    Negative

    Email every time someone adds to the board. I am sure I have access to limited content do to the free version, but understandable.

    Kudoboard Review

    Date: Apr 07 2023
    Summary

    I'm very happy with the Kudoboard experience. I have had the opportunity to create and send several Kudoboards. It has been very well received by the team. I appreciate the ease of engagement made possible by the Kudoboard system.

    Positive

    The ease of collaboration is excellent. Since working remotely it has been difficult to find a system that works as well as the Kudoboard to bring a team together for celebrations, support and engagement.
    The ability for the senders to receive a note from the recipient is fantastic! it makes it easy to send a note of thanks. This feature is very much appreciated.

    Negative

    It would be a great to have the opportunity to customize the background. However, this would be an added feature that does not take away from how great the Kudoboard operates.

    Teamwork Essentials!

    Date: Apr 26 2023
    Summary

    Love this! Time saver for a large team to create post to celebrate or farewell for someone. Really like the features where you can add the picture, and video to make the post more fun and meaningful.

    Positive

    It's very easy to create, the gif, png and videos already in the system are great which makes the post fun! I have a large team, this really helps to save time.

    Negative

    The option to download the board is great, but you can't print form your computer nicely. It will be great if you can print out the post individually.

    Fun tool for the office

    Updated: Aug 04 2023
    Summary

    I can't think of a better way to spread good cheer and recognition among our staff. Everyone gets to be creative, yet it doesn't take a long time to create a post. Therefore, our participation rate is very high.

    Positive

    I like that everyone is able to contribute to good wishes for co-workers. And that the access and navigations are super easy to use.

    Negative

    I don't love the cost -- wish there was a way for our office to purchase access, maybe annually, for multiple initiators to access. Currently, each manager on our team has to buy their own access, separately. Also, I wish we could do more with the fonts -- like adding color.

    Kudoboard is a great tool!

    Date: Mar 01 2023
    Summary

    I absolutely love Kudoboard! It is a great tool to recognize your peers and counselees. It is a great way to say thank you and farewell to employees who are leaving the firm. It is a perfect way to say congrats to the newly promoted. I cannot imagine not having access to it!

    Positive

    Kudoboard is a great tool, very easy to use, with great features - such as image upload, access to gifs. I especially like that it is easily accessible on desktop and mobile, that you can share a link to it on your social media. I like the image extract - some of my friends printed their Kudoboards and loved it!

    Negative

    Of course, as any frequent user, I'd love to have access to cheap business plans. Currently, I am purchasing single boards whenever I need to set up a new Kudoboard.

    Major kudos to Kudoboard!

    Date: Nov 10 2023
    Summary

    I really enjoy using Kudoboard for those special occasions where you want to recognize a colleague. It allows for creativity in a professional environment. The user friendly platform makes it very inclusive and fun to use. It creates an opportunity for bonding experiences within the team.

    Positive

    I have used the Kudoboard platform for the last couple of offices that I have worked for. I like how it is user friendly and inclusive for all members of your office staff. The possibilities are endless and the Kudoboards can be created to accommodate small offices and up to very large offices with many staff members. It’s just that special touch when you want to recognize someone special!

    Negative

    I don’t like that you cannot attach a gift card to the Kudoboard when the recipient opens it. It would be perfect if you could do this! Currently, we have to send the gift card separately.

    Date: Jun 02 2023
    Summary

    Great experience, Quick and easy to register an account. Reliable service. Great you don't need an account to write a post as not all contributors want to set up an account.

    Positive

    Quick and easy to set up a board and share celebrations. Great way of collection contributions for that extra gift for the receiver.

    Negative

    The free board is not great with only 10 board posts. The charge for mire users should be unlimited not just 100 board posts.

    Amazing Kudoboard

    Updated: Mar 20 2023
    Summary

    I use this product when an employee is having a work anniversary. It is not enough to encourage me to pay for the extended version. It allows my team to connect and write something in honor of that person! Everyone loves getting their Kudoboard.

    Positive

    Love the colorful backgrounds and ease of use! Love the ability to make each Kudoboard unique. Enjoy the ability to set up a send date.

    Negative

    I do wish that the free version allowed up to 15 spots. My team is growing by a few and it would be nice to allow everyone the opportunity to contribute.
