Motivosity vs Built for Teams Comparison

Easy to give recognition to anyone, including those that you supervise. A great way to give the small spot bonuses that are so effective. Everyone sees the recognition, but not the $. Also, the org chart is easy to use and very helpful!

APIs are not all built out yet.

Easy to use for all staff. Supports mobile and distributed teams well.

Nothing really. There is nothing not to like.

Easy to use, intuitive and the impact in the professional relationships

Integrate it in other applications, like for example Teams meetings, so you can appreciate the help of somebody directly after the meeting.

Hi Zafira! Thanks for all the Motivosity love! As for integrations, if you are talking about Microsoft teams, we do now integrate with Microsoft teams! I'll have our CS rep contact your company and make sure they know! Thanks for the review!!!

I like the ability to say thanks in a fun way that others can see but isn't a direct call out that could embarass the person receiving the praise.

Some of the features I just don't plan to use, such as the feedback for teams. I use a different system for that kind of goal tracking.

The opportunity to congratulate everyone on my team as many times as I liked.

Not being able to see my teams profile picture with a full view.

-ease of use (social media-like interface) -encouraged to 'give' by the extra rewards when you spend all your dollars -makes team feel great to be recognized

-needs integrations with teams or slack to be truly ingrained in the culture

It's fun to read how people interact with each other in the organization, learn new things going on in one place, and to appreciate someone with a tangible gift with a meaningful message

It'd be cool to post to departments or teams. Sometimes it's slow.

I love the mechanism and framework it provides for offering sincere praise and thanks to my fellow team members.

I wish the pulse survey functionality and the built in survey capabilities were more customizable.

Hi Dan and thank you so much for your review. We love to hear that feedback about customizability, and we're so happy that our platform has provided a genuine space for your team members to recognize and appreciate each other

Provides an easy means for employee engagement and recognition. Verbal recognition is far more important than the monetary portion but it all helps.

This is not a con. I haven't explored if there is a phone app. I will explore the app functionality. Most of us are using the desktop application.

Being able to recognize the team for their accomplishments Builds teamwork among the different teams in our organization Great new slack integration

Mobile app lacks key features Pre-filling the bank that users can cash out from takes time and effort

Motivosity makes employee recognition a breeze particularly for teams and offices across multiple locations allowing for real time visibility of the great work happening around the organization.

Motivosity has continued to grow the platform abilities with a number of different tools like engagement and feedback which is great for many companies. However, my frustration is I can't pick and choice what I want active and have found there are places were I am using a different system or process which becomes duplicative with Motivosity's, confusing employees and managers on where to follow the process diminishing both processes/systems.

By appreciating employees builds trust and dedication

Not really nothing that I can identify at this time

Employee participation and recognition make our teams stronger.

I feel like there could be more done with the meetings and one-on-one features. More sub-task could me added.

You can give kudos to team members and provide gift card money for accomplishments.

Only works well if everyone is using the system. More integration with other products Microsoft teams, etc.

Simple and great price for what you get. Great reporting insights and dashboards built into the rewards portion of the software. Packaged differently then competitors of what you can have access to.

Definitely less functionality than most. Not a great setup for one off large awards such as presidential awards or initiatives. Really best used for peer to peer.

Integration was fairly seamless. Great tool for shout outs and acknowledge. A virtual option that works with today's world over a poster board and sticky notes!

I do believe there have been instances where private messages have been give public status. Could have been user error.

Hi Christopher and thank you so much for your review and feedback. We're so glad that Motivosity has helped facilitate good communication within your company.

How it connects our teams and how we can work to show appreciation.

I think the $ standard UTA has set up is too low. I would like to appreciate more people with money. A "no dollar" appreciation is a running joke.

Hi Kyle, and thank you for your review! We're glad that Motivosity has helped improve connections in your workspace. Feel free to reach out to your Motivosity ambassador or sales rep to get your monthly spending standard increased, as that can easily be changed :)

Motivosity has been great in making the day to day a little bit more fun and for making employees feel valued and appreciated. It also helps connect employees, which has been crucial during all this remote work. Helps focus on individual accomplishments and contributions, and can even be used to give small prizes/rewards. I feel that this has made us closer as a team, and also shown how appreciated and valued everyone is. Also very easy to use and implement. It's a hit.

Some limited functionality, and would like to be able to focus on teams instead of having to select individuals, but overall this a great tool that has been wildly popular and I believe has really impacted morale for the best.

Hey, thanks so much for your review! We're so glad you've had such a positive experience with Motivosity, and look forward to using your feedback to improve our platform

Motivosity is a great tool for recognizing your peers and helping bringing the "teams" together. The platform is very user friendly and makes giving each other props much more fun.

would like to be able to add gifs, meme, or photos in the Comments section

The team at Motivosity is focused on empowering employers to empower teams, plain and simple.

It's great! no complaints. Love working with them.

Setup and maintenance is a breeze. We typically have one administrator look things over about once a week, and tools like mass importing and exporting of users and API integration options keep everything up to date. Motivosity also adapts to varying budget constraints. You can spend as much or as little as you want to administer your recognitions and awards. Motivosity seems so simple of a tool for the amount of benefits it offers.

Since Motivosity is relatively new as a product, there are some features that would be nice to have, but aren't available yet. Luckily, since it is so new, the product teams are very responsive to requests for features.

Access to instamtly reward you team members.

Sometimes it is hard to navigate to a person outsidw the search button.

It's a very nice system to appreciate your colleagues. Where you normally wouldn't sent a message/email to thank someone, with Motivosity it's fun to do it. Also because everyone in the company can read it. It's fun to motivate the team with a simple message.

The Highlights option isn't really adding value. When sharing a highlight, it will be quickly 'overflooded' with other messages and not visible as it should be. It would be great to have 2 columns, one for your team - mandatory, and one for the company - or other teams. Highlights should be 'pinned' for some time or have a separate dashboard.

I have loved using motivosity to engage with my employees! It's a great opportunity to recognize them and it's something they really love as well!

I wish there was a way to have my team (I'm one out of 5 teams, plus leadership, plus management) in their own channel on motivosity.

I love that it is so accessible, and that it is so simple to show gratitude in a built-in way with our company.

I wish that the privacy configurations had customizing capabilities so that personality tests could be private or public.
