Kazoo
Great at recognition/engagement and performance management all in one place. Easy for admins to manage and for team members to navigate. If you would like to have a robust platform for goal setting, feedback, and performance reviews, Kazoo could be a great fit.

Xoxoday Empuls is very much suited for its purpose within our organization - Employee Rewards and Recognitions. Not that it is less appropriate to also be a communication hub for technical/work-related stuff, but I would prefer for it to have its sole purpose for rewards and recognitions. It has gained a special and HAPPY reaction within me, whenever a Xoxoday email pops out of my notification box. "Oh, someone is celebrating their work anniversary! Let me congratulate this person and appreciate all the assistance he/she provided me for the past xx years" or "Someone awarded me? Great! Thank you so much". I wouldn't want Xoxoday to have another purpose than helping me increase my happy hormones.

Cons
Kazoo
  • The ability to create custom reports as admins would be a nice feature.
  • A feature that allows managers of the employees to be loaded into YEI and then they can receive a breakdown of the recognition of their direct reports periodically would be a nice feature.
  • Ways for the employee to create their own reports to see their own receiving and giving metrics.

This product seems to outperform the competition in the reviews that we're aware of. Not surprisingly, we've been extremely pleased with this product. It's funny to think that a simple piece of software could add so much by way of positivity to our workplace, but it most definitely has. We love this program.
