Chose Bonusly
I think it's because of the cost.
Chose Bonusly
I evaluated Donut points, but I felt like they were still in the process of creating features that Bonusly already has.
Chose Bonusly
the cost was [the] main factor for us. I think the platforms are very similar. Bonusly is one focused on just employee recognition which is great and concise. Blueboard offers a lot more by way of experiences and gift-giving for recognition but on the pricier side.
Chose Bonusly
I haven’t found any other platform that I would consider in a similar product to Bonusly. When we got involved with the platform, it was the only one of it’s type and we’ve been blown away with it since then.
Chose Bonusly
Bonusly builds a recognition-rich culture like no other reward and recognition software by empowering everyone to recognize their peers, direct reports, and managers. With nifty features and a simple interface, Bonusly is fun and intuitive to use and employees tend to adopt …
Chose Bonusly
The "big name" to me has always been CrewHu. Not sure why they aren't in the listing at the time of this writing but they are far and away the big name from my perspective. This is the main other tool we've seriously considered and I think it highlights the opposite points I've …

because it simplifies the process of review and build a transparency.
Chose Lattice
Lattice is much user friendly and having easy integration then any other app. Lattice is smoth and having wide range of tagging features. It is easy to install and integrete with other apps. User friendly and really a great tool for performance management.
Chose Lattice
These other platforms are great at their own thing- like payroll for the most part, but some don't have native performance tools at all (ADP), and some are just so shallow and designed to just check the must-have boxes for orgs primarily focused on Payroll. Gusto and …
Chose Lattice
Lattice is not as good as these tools. We originally used it to integrate 1:1s with OKR tracking, but that's no longer the case. A lot of the benefits of using Lattice don't matter anymore, now that we're not tracking OKRs in it. We've moved our OKR tracking to Google Sheets
Chose Lattice
Lattice is easier to use and more visually appealing
Chose Lattice
I have not really used any other goal/performance review software similar to Lattice. So this is a first for me. We have used ADP Workforce Now to provide our organization chart, and I feel like the organization chart utilized in Lattice is cleaner and less clunky than it was …
Chose Lattice
Some similar functionality though the core functions are different. BambooHR is predominantly HR software but does have areas to manage goals as well as conversations with managers. I believe tracking goals is a bit better in Lattice and is more comprehensive but not quite as …
Chose Lattice
This was our previous system, and while it was highly customizable, the administration fell heavily on our central support team. There were also some easy of use issues (not the most UX friendly). Lattice solved both of those issues, plus added ongoing feedback mechanism that …

All-in-one performance platform for engagement, goals, reviews, 1:1, department information, feedback, growth plans, and a robust management system and smart workflows, and a great tool for remote-first companies and seamless integrations with Slack, calendars, and each tool in …

Even though ClickUp is mainly an HR platform, it can be used for a variety of purposes. The features are just right and it is straightforward and simple to use. Many of these platforms tend to add many features, which end up causing an overwhelming feeling but it has been …
Chose Lattice
Lattice is more fully featured than BambooHR on the performance management functionality. It allows greater customization and more capabilities. If your company is mid-sized or large, Lattice is the way to go. However, it does require having some staff dedicated to …
Chose Lattice
Lattice outperforms PeopleHR for a people development system, we continue to use PeopleHR for the HR functionality of the system but rather than having everyone upload their document with no real tracking on is one of the main reasons we have chosen to adopt Lattice. Lattice is …
Chose Lattice
At the time lattice allowed us to move off these two systems and use a single service. Both GTMhub and officeVibe were better tools but having a single sorce of trueth for our employees was more important. Since then officeVibe has caught up to Lattice and I can see it being a …
Chose Lattice
I don't remember the name of the specific product that I used previously, however, Lattice is the best performance tracker that I've used in comparison to the tools used at my previous jobs - some of which were more manual created a heavier lift for the user.
Chose Lattice
This is the first of its kind and so far from my experience, I am happy with it.
Chose Lattice
They are both effective, but Lattice is more user friendly and efficient.
Chose Lattice
Way better and geared towards what we needed.
Chose Lattice
To be honest, Lattice has been the only commercially known performance tracking tool that we've used. But I love it so far.
Chose Lattice
Lattice was the only platform we did a deep dive into. It was exactly what we were looking for and the reason we went with them is because of the public feedback module they have built-in as that was a really important aspect for us.
Chose Lattice
I haven't used another item similar to Lattice
Chose Lattice
Rippling also has an org chart feature, similar to Lattice. I feel as though Lattice's org chart is easier to read and break down by department.
Chose Lattice
The above tools do different things than Lattice. Lattice is more of a review system and greenhouse is for hiring and slack is for communication. I think Lattice is better in communication as you are talking through the issues rather than someone reading them in a chat. …

Bonusly has provided us a formal space to post recognition. While face to face recognition still occurs, this is a place where staff can post publicly or privately, but a majority choose public. It has been incredibly popular since our implementation. Staff love the ability to earn time off through recognition. That customized redemption is our most popular reward.

Lattice is very well versed in all things with performance and goals, but it is a separate program from the rest I work in; it would be nice to be able to integrate it into other programs I work out of more frequently. I do enjoy being able to have a program where I can track my goals and job growth.

Cons
  • There should be more option to redeem points like custom rewards.
  • Then, more digital gift cards are popular for that specific country. We have a global workforce and there are different countries involved.

  • it is not intuitive how to find a past review you wrote for someone that doesn't directly report to you
  • Lattice app (for phone) is very limited in scope and doesn't have face ID
  • sales team can be misleading; need to really double check and push on important issues

Bonusly is easy to use and intuitive for anyone familiar with technology and using websites. There is a page where posts are made, and a page where rewards are redeemed. It is very straightforward.

I never had any issues with support. It's especially nice to be able to add location-specific rewards.

Lattice Support is not that good. We have had to have calls with them in the past and their product team did not have a lot of knowledge about their product. I believe they are able to provide a much better level of service and that would increase my likelihood to work with them again.

These other platforms are great at their own thing- like payroll for the most part, but some don't have native performance tools at all (ADP), and some are just so shallow and designed to just check the must-have boxes for orgs primarily focused on Payroll. Gusto and TriNet/Zenefits try to be all-in-one solutions, but their foundations are payroll and HRIS, respectively, so their performance and engagement tools are either missing or severely lacking

Return on Investment
  • Employees are encouraged to "live the values" as other members see and recognize their achievements monetarily.
  • This spreads a load of recognition from just leadership/managers across the entire organization, potentially eliminating/reducing a recurring existing task your company is currently doing.
  • Features/freedom of posting in a 'social media' style environment encourages light-hearted comradery between employees.
Read full review
  • a different method to reaching the whole company that isn't through email or slack, not cluttering peoples inbox but having a dedicated space for praises and goal planning
  • where company data about personnel is stored and a way to engage with them and set up cadences for meeting and feedback, giving us a one stop shop instead of multiple avenues
  • a forum where we do all company surveys. from engagement surveys to mid-year reviews. makes this process streamlined and less fussy and confusing

ScreenShots

Bonusly Screenshots

Screenshot of Bonusly’s home screen, which brings recognition to life with a social, real-time feed. Employees celebrate contributions with value-tagged messages, images, and emojis, while points accumulate toward meaningful rewards. This hub makes appreciation easier, and keeps the habits that drive culture right in front of everyone.Screenshot of Bonusly’s rewards experience, that gives employees access to a global catalog of gift cards, curated physical products, and nonprofit donations—all with instant fulfillment. Its categories and clear point ranges help people find rewards. With no markups and full visibility into spend, teams get a richer rewards experience without added admin work.Screenshot of Bonusly’s insights dashboard, which helps managers understand team health at a glance. Recognition trends, participation patterns, and value alignment reveal where the team excels and where support might be needed. With simple filters and export options, leaders can make data-driven decisions and run more informed performance reviews.Screenshot of Bonusly’s 1:1 workspace, which brings structure, shared notes, discussion topics, and past highlights into a collaborative view. Managers and employees stay aligned on priorities, celebrate wins, and address blockers early, with context from recognition and feedback woven in.Screenshot of where Bonusly automatically pulls together recognition, feedback, and work highlights into an organized performance recap. Managers get a clear storyline of contributions across months, and employees see their impact reflected accurately. This supports more fair, consistent, and insightful performance conversations.Screenshot of how Bonusly integrates natively with both Slack and Microsoft Teams so recognition happens in the flow of work. Employees can give, receive, and react to recognition directly in their chat channels, boosting participation and making appreciation feel immediate and natural. With updates and celebrations surfacing where conversations already happen, recognition becomes a daily habit—not another tool to remember.
