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 …
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.
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.

I haven't used any other peer recognition software!

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 …

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.
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 …
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 …
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. …

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 …

Chose Workhuman
I have not used any product other than BRAVO! for recognition. Other than that, it has just been 1 1 communication OR during a meeting; we can provide some kudos to different folks. Although public, in-the-moment recognition may not always be received the way we hoped, some …

I have previously used a program that was used specifically for number of year anniversaries. There were very few items available. Users were only able to choose one item from the list. Workhuman lets you get as many things as you want, with the possibility of getting bigger or …

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.

It is definitely very well suited for cases like how my company uses it (which is a platform to celebrate colleagues and peers within the company, public or privately—depending on your choice). It feels good to write a review on someone I care about and want to celebrate. Maybe it would be less appropriate if the reviews were to be mandatorily public, but I don't know if that even exists.

Cons
  • I think Kudos could use some UI enhancements as it can be a bit much info at one time

  • In my experience, current prepaid cards for cash and his platform has the worst support and compatibility for Mexico establishments and commerce hance it is limited the use for Mexico.
  • I think there are too many steps to submit an award

Usability

It is really very usable. I cannot find anything to complain about its usability. The UX is done perfectly. Even when I used it first, I figured my way around it really quickly. Now, I cannot remember if I had a 'user tutorial' first time I opened it, but if not, that would maybe be a place for improvement.

The company has an in-house customer support team. They can be reached by email or phone. The response time is good and I do not have anything negative to say about them. The good thing is that the hours of operation are 24/7 so one can reach them anytime with questions about reward management.

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.

Although public, in-the-moment recognition may not always be received the way we hoped, some folks prefer more indirect recognition.

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.

  • I do not think there is any negative impact. We had a homegrown rewards management tool. It was useful in communicating with employees.
  • It was difficult to run reports in the past and we had to maintain accounts with different vendors. It was difficult as we could only work with a limited number of companies to obtain gift cards.

  • Easy Reward System
  • Brand recognition (not a direct effect on our business) but awareness for these companies are great - I hope other companies can use their points to purchase training/services from our company.
