Pros

Kudo's is a fantastic tool for our employees and will be a 100 in my book once we can establish a secure API to automate our employee data sync.
Love that you can recognize hard work and show appreciation to others. Depending on your company you can redeem for awesome rewards.
Kudos is a simple yet effective way to boost morale and connect with coworkers, two things that are especially important in these unprecedented times.

Pros

I love to recognize peers and let them know how much I appreciate them, and the ease of doing it at your finger tips.
I've been a regular user of recognize for approximately 3 years and the features keep getting better and better. GIFs are a fun way to say thank you and motivate your colleagues in a remote world.
The support team is very responsive and pleasant to work with. Our employees love this program and this is something that is utilized daily by our staff members in all departments.

Cons

I dislike how it shelters kids from some real-world problems that they should know about, not the very bad and innapropriate stuff, just some things.
There is nothing I have to say bad I can say about this program.
Not all staff have been created on the platform. There seems to be an exclusion to the contract staff.

Cons

Sometimes when there is upgrades, it gets confusing to learn the new way of configuring users in to the system.
If it is not used well, it can generate unhealthy competition, but this depends on those who manage it, not on the app.
I've already forgotten how many users we had last week and no way to find that out.

Kudos-The best recognition platform.

Reviewed 4 years ago

It has been a wonderful platform to recognize colleagues and friends. A means to recognize talents, performance, etc.

Pros

Communicating achievements to team and colleagues. Ease of use.

Cons

It should have direct access not through logging in. It should be a platform you should access directly with your corporate login details.
