Bonusly vs. Maestro

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.

Maestro is great for managing my membership and is terrific with reservations. At this time I am not sure if there is any scenario where it is less appropriate. I guess it doesn't work well as an interface for a golf shop, for tee times, etc. And, any golf product we get doesn't speak well with Maestro, so maybe golf. But, they may have a solution for that too.

• Great platform design - easy to navigate and fun to use

• Aces it on employee recognition and peer to peer feedback

• Customer Support - I appreciate that I always get a quick response, if not immediate with easy to follow solutions to my concerns/issues. Their customer support team is always positive, friendly and helpful!
• Easy to Learn and Understand - I am not great with technology but I find Maestro easy to learn, use and navigate. It is very user friendly.
• Ability to Easily Update Charges - I appreciate the ease of access to Member and guest billing and folios and how easy it is for me to post, remove or reverse charges as need be.
• One Interface - I appreciate being able to track member information and reservations in one area! What a great tool.

• 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.

• No ability to view contact information from a home screen (must click into profile to see phone number)
• Feels a bit archaic
• Would be nice to see "flags" or ways to mark students for calling
• Wish that the 'attempted call' option turned a student yellow instead of keeping them red

Maestro is what we are comfortable with and probably what we'll stay with, but it can be slow at times and lacks certain functionalities

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.

It's easy to use, easy to access, and everything, but some action buttons don't have too much contrast and it's hard to find them between a bigger set of possible actions in the screen, for example the edit score button seems hidden in the screen, it should be more visible.

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

I love Maestro support! They are always available or get back to you quickly. The employees that work at Maestro must get treated well because they are always positive and patient on the phone with me. And, even though I am not great with technology they always help me find a solution.

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.

I haven't used other software dedicated to Quality Assurance, but we did use Google sheets, it was easier to use, faster too, but the process of linking one specific flag to an specific admin to provide personalized feedback to them was hard and lengthy, now with Maestro it is so much easier to provide that feedback or coaching to an specific admin, and to take it back if there was a judgement error.

• 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.

• At one point our step pricing was not working properly so we did lose some room revenue. Maestro helped us get this resolved.
• Maestro saves time, which saves money, by having all of our member billing, reservations and more in one location.
• No other impacts that I can think of.
