    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.

    The survey sent is customer-friendly, vibrant, simple, and easy to understand. The survey itself is comprised of simple question(s) with straightforward answer options for customers to make their selections. Creating the survey is a straightforward process for us to prepare and implement. Making updates or changes is just as easy.

    • Can help tomato sure celebratory dates aren’t forgotten (birthdays, work anniversaries)
    • Increases employee engagement

    • The fundamental tool for customer satisfaction is exactly right. The way they allow us as agents to share details about ourselves, and humanize the process, has made a huge impact on the customer experience we provide. Our customers feel more inclined to leave us feedback and it allows us to get a real understanding of each of their individual expectations.
    • Customer Journey. From the beginning through the Sales process, through procurement, through trial and through now being users for over a year, the Stella Connect team has been incredibly helpful, informative and has provided us with the exact amount of interaction we need. They are very good at respecting your time while making sure they get in touch when necessary. New features that are relevant to our use case are sent my way. It's one of the only product update emails I actually read. They're incredibly responsive and very helpful.

    Cons
    Bonusly
    • Moderation. The freedom to post anything for recognition can get out of hand depending on your tolerance/company culture. There are very little to no tools around better this.
    • Bonusly has not done much in the way of adding features. Hard to call it a con but other similar platforms have extended into allowing more directed involvement from the organization. In other words: Bonusly is a little TOO hands-off in some ways.

    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.

    They are the absolute best. My Sales guy Corey D. and my CSM Tim P. are totally a part of the team. They have been incredibly helpful through the process pre and post-sales and have become good friends. I appreciate that I feel like our team's success is always at the forefront of their minds.

    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.

    We do not currently use any other products like Stella Connect, by Medallia. We have recently begun evaluating platforms that would allow us to collect feedback at different touchpoints throughout our customers' journeys, as well as through additional channels such as during our application process, quote and purchase experience, website experience, etc. We have looked at companies such as Survey Monkey, Medallia, and Qualtrics to help us better understand CSAT.

    • Implementing Stella Connect was such an easy decision. Before, we were working with "yes, I'm satisfied" or "no, I'm not satisfied" and felt it was an incredibly unclear and polarizing experience, as our users were forced to pick one or the other. Most often, we'd get a negative rating with a comment saying that the experience was fine, but some feature in the product was missing. This left it very difficult for us to really gauge the experience we were providing and how to improve. In addition, agent motivation was incredibly low and impossible to improve because they were left feeling like their scores were not matching their experience. Needless to say, implementing Stella Connect improved all of these issues 10-fold. The ROI has been incredibly substantial. We've been able to improve CSAT scores and properly measure the rate of first attempt resolutions. Team morale is at an all-time high, and our customers even love the experience.

    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.
