    BHN Rewards is great if you need to send a reward to an international audience. The ability to look at claim data is also helpful when I'm trying to prevent fraud.

    GaggleAMP
    GaggleAMP is well suited when you want to get timely local language content out to folks in other countries/regions, or content for a specific group/department. It is also well suited when you have multiple Gaggle content managers with multiple content calendars. It might be less appropriate if you want to hold multiple Social contests (gamification) with different rules, scopes, leaderboards, etc. for different groups/tags as there is only one leaderboard.

    Cons
    Blackhawk Network
    • The main dashboard is not very useful for tracking your activity and spending
    • Website didn't seem super reliable. Would see downtime occasionally.
    • You can export reports to Excel but better built in reporting would be nice

    • There are no out of the box implementations to get started quick.
    • The campaign manager could be more involved and vocal about recommendations and how to implement them.
    • I'd like deeper insight into what my employees do and do not like to share.

    Customer service has been good. It's easy to use. It's cost effective. It's a good way to expand your social presence and get your employees more vested in branding the company without spending a ton of money. There are bells and whistles that may be good for other users. I just haven't had the time to use them

    Usability
    Blackhawk Network
    Great overall. I like that I can control access levels, which means more people can use the tool without breaking something (or spending money on accident). Whenever I do have an issue, Daniel (my CSM) always helps me figure out a solution or the reason why it's a feature and not a bug

    Support for GaggleAMP is easily the best customer support I've experienced with any software tool. Our rep, Sam, is dedicated to our account (no bouncing around a call-center bullpen), and is highly proactive and eager to help us succeed. Most of our interactions have nothing to do with problems, but rather opportunities to optimize our use of the tool and set us up for greatest success. GaggleAMP sets a gold standard for customer support!

    Both are good products, I honestly have no complaints with either of them. Rybbon's integration with Qualtrics is a definite plus.

    GaggleAMP
    A former colleague suggested EveryoneSocial, but I think that GaggleAMP has more industry experience in terms of employee advocacy and social engagement. While it did appear somewhat easier to use, it didn't have all the features and attention to detail that GaggleAMP provided such as the detailed reporting and the specific activity suggestions I was looking for.

    Return on Investment
    Blackhawk Network
    • Using the paid plan where you pre-pay fees up front definitely saved us money in the long run
    • It's a lot quicker and more manageable than using PayPal or Amazon gift cards
    • Their support team has probably also saved us time by helping recipients who have trouble redeeming cards instead of us having to do it

    • Take this with a grain of salt, but our company's all-time CPC (cost per click) savings is $1.85 M ($184,116.95 last quarter).
    • GaggleAMP has become an important part in getting our employees and partners to engage with us on Social Media more regularly - a great tool for getting information out there.
    • Brand awareness.
