User Testimonials
	Bonusly	LumApps
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	LumApps is THE employee experience platform! With its customizable meta-data, I was able to create over 700 pieces of content to deploy a regionalized user experience for our global sales and customer success teams. No longer were employees inundated with content that did not apply to their region or market. With LumApps’ best in class functionality, the integrations that our organization uses, such as Google and Slack were easily integrated within LumApps to create a seamless user experience for a global audience.

Pros	Great platform design - easy to navigate and fun to use Great job connecting teams to communicate and celebrate hard work Aces it on employee recognition and peer to peer feedback Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Offers simple addition of custom content types that give the ability to apply different access and distribution levels. The HTML widget allows for the simple removal of WYSIWG tools to simplify the view for content contributors. The ability to rearrange layouts is very simple. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The editing user interface is a bit wonky and occasionally glitchy. The back-end options are not organized super well, which can make it confusing to find the right settings. The customization options are somewhat limited without advanced CSS/dev skills, and the basic functions can be a bit challenging for some non-technical users.

Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	The tool is easy to use. Even without a dedicated product owner we feel confident using the system for our needs. Incentivized Kelly Bingham Internal Communications Manager Read full review
Usability	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	As I said before, LumApps platform is not intuitive at all, people have a lot of trouble using the tool, the curve to learn is too high, mainly the style part, is so confusing what I am adjusting there, is the outside of the widget? What does the padding do, what does the margin does. Incentivized João Alcantara Experience Designer Consultant Read full review
Support Rating	I never had any issues with support. It's especially nice to be able to add location-specific rewards. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Question and bug support are very helpful and quick. About the feature requests, we don’t have much visibility of the features that we suggested, or If they are going to implement some solutions or not.

Alternatives Considered	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. AK Abigail Koenig Founder/Executive Director Read full review	It overall stacked up incredibly against all its competitors. Its customer service, simple to use format, and ease of implementation were hard to beat. We got up and running in about 6-8 months and it was right on schedule for implementation. It's feature set was smaller then it's competitors but even at first glance it was much easier to use for the amount customization it contained. We considered factors when purchasing like ease of use, adaptability, and look/feel overall as a product. No product came close to LumApps on these features.

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. Incentivized Jared Miller NOC Manager Read full review	It is starting to reduce our reliance on email, and the overall volume of email. It has created a smoother induction process for new starters because it is a central place where all employees can go for the core information and resources they need to stay informed and do their job.
