Considered Both Products	Kudos® Verified User Anonymous Chose Kudos® Generally, Kudos is super user friendly and anyone can use it even with little or no knowledge of computers. The user interface is fun, interesting with lots of emojis that can be customized to a user's emotions at a time. The redeeming of kudos and the various gifts and reward … Incentivized Helpful? Tommy Parker Management Consultant Chose Kudos® We decided to change the service because the one we had previously did not have some functionalities such as an activity panel or the creation of surveys and polls and that is why we preferred to make a change and chose "Kudos" as the best alternative. Incentivized Helpful? Jack Mattheus Human Resources Management Chose Kudos® The main reason why the IT team of our company decided to make a software change. It is because Kudos has the necessary tools to more comprehensively evaluate the performance of each employee. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kudos® I haven't used any other peer recognition software! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kudos® I've used Taste Card as a comparable product, but it is not at the enterprise level Kudos is in. Kudos is far more flexible at small and large scales, and quite versatile within teams. It's a good benefit for employees and a great tool for leadership that can be easily deployed … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kudos® We have not evaluated other platforms in so long. We are fond of Kudos and everything it does for our team and is not looking to change any time soon. Incentivized Helpful? Matthew M. Morris Sr. Manager - Vendor & Client Services Chose Kudos® We used Recognize prior to making the switch to Kudos and was largely due to the cumbersome use of the platform, the difficulty getting to look just like we wanted to, and just did not offer the options that Kudos does to customize everything. The app is great too and makes it … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kudos® It is the best reward and recognition program I have come across so far as a team member and leader who is focused on successful completion of projects and being goal oriented. It gives one a chance to publicly reward a team/member. Such motivation spurs healthy competition and … Incentivized Helpful? CS Collin Seggane Administrative Coordinator Chose Kudos® I've only used Kudos in this regard. I haven't tried any similar software. It's the best way to get your colleagues excited and to show them how much they’re valued is to be generous with your kudos! Open the door to seeing more smiles around the office and get in on the fun. … Incentivized Helpful? AL Allyson Lamar Pharmacy Technician Chose Kudos® I have only used and evaluated Kudos. Incentivized Helpful? VL Victor Lushnikov Customer Service Chose Kudos® I have personally never used another product like KUDOS. Incentivized Helpful? EF Eric Foster Lead Software Engineer Chose Kudos® I used to work at a company called Sparc that developed its own in-house platform called Teamphoria. It was great software that coupled a lot of the same features as workday but also with a recognition system. Essentially it allocated certain types of recognition levels per … Incentivized Helpful?	Leapsome Verified User Anonymous Chose Leapsome I feel like Leapsome is a more effective tool than Betterworks. I have enjoyed using it, and I think it provides a lot of additional functionality. I also appreciate the training options that are provided in Leapsome. Incentivized Helpful? RS Rajan Sabharwal Credit Controller Chose Leapsome I didn’t select over workday since this was used in the previous organization. The major difference is that workday provides multiple functions which leapsome currently doesn’t have or have it and I am not aware of it may be. However, I still recommend Leapsome over workday … Incentivized Helpful? Ankit Bhangar Sr. Product Manager Chose Leapsome Leapsome had much more flexibility in terms of configuration. We could add specific questions in surveys that need to ask, as well as select questions suggested by Leapsome or earlier asked questions.

User Testimonials
	Kudos®	Leapsome
Likelihood to Recommend	It would be very appropriate to use some of its functionalities when an employee has finished his work and has reported it correctly. In this case, we proceed to rate and mark your work on the platform and then reward him. Incentivized Jack Mattheus Human Resources Management Read full review	Assessments are perfectly done over Leapsome, there is a great level of customization as well as awesome graphics as output. But the product is not used very frequently as assessments are quarterly exercises, if Leapsome could help align an employee towards the goal post assessment, that would be awesome. Incentivized Ankit Bhangar Sr. Product Manager Read full review
Pros	Encourages employees to go above and beyond! Encourages our staff to make an effort to support our employees by handing out KUDOS for good deeds or for bright ideas that help innovate the company. Helps our leaders make informed decisions on good staff by viewing the distribution of KUDOS to our employees and helps maintain a level of professionalism between the employees. Incentivized VL Victor Lushnikov Customer Service Read full review	Performance management Simple interface Key KPI at the home page Incentivized RS Rajan Sabharwal Credit Controller Read full review
Cons	I think Kudos could use some UI enhancements as it can be a bit much info at one time I believe Kudos could probably do a better job guiding administrators in setting up their organization kudos page/system to maximize its appearance and layout Incentivized EF Eric Foster Lead Software Engineer Read full review	Setting up a meeting on Leapsome for assessment was tiresome, good tool but needs to have better UX The goals feature needs to be expanded a bit more If it can be integrated with project management tools, that would be awesome Incentivized Ankit Bhangar Sr. Product Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Generally, Kudos is super user friendly and anyone can use it even with little or no knowledge of computers. The user interface is fun, interesting with lots of emojis that can be customized to a user's emotions at a time. The redeeming of kudos and the various gifts and reward schemes all bring about lots of interest and fascination to working, especially when it's remote working. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I didn’t select over workday since this was used in the previous organization. The major difference is that workday provides multiple functions which leapsome currently doesn’t have or have it and I am not aware of it may be. However, I still recommend Leapsome over workday since its simple interface is effective to users. It is a user friendly tool that can still produce multiple KPI and reports which are required for people management Incentivized RS Rajan Sabharwal Credit Controller Read full review
Return on Investment	It creates excitement and positive engagement within the staff creating a lively environment. It's easy to track the highest receivers and at the end of the year, these receivers are sieved and awarded accordingly. Some employees might abuse the system and reward just for the sake of rewarding to get points. Reward redemptions are not instant which creates a little demotivation to shine on the spot all the time. Incentivized CS Collin Seggane Administrative Coordinator Read full review	It has helped standardize the review process I feel like it has (for better or worse) cause me to invest more time in performance reviews It allows for strong visibility across teams Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
