Considered Both Products
Bonusly
Chose Bonusly
I think it's because of the cost.
Chose Bonusly
I evaluated Donut points, but I felt like they were still in the process of creating features that Bonusly already has.
Chose Bonusly
the cost was [the] main factor for us. I think the platforms are very similar. Bonusly is one focused on just employee recognition which is great and concise. Blueboard offers a lot more by way of experiences and gift-giving for recognition but on the pricier side.
Chose Bonusly
I haven’t found any other platform that I would consider in a similar product to Bonusly. When we got involved with the platform, it was the only one of it’s type and we’ve been blown away with it since then.
Chose Bonusly
Bonusly builds a recognition-rich culture like no other reward and recognition software by empowering everyone to recognize their peers, direct reports, and managers. With nifty features and a simple interface, Bonusly is fun and intuitive to use and employees tend to adopt …
Chose Bonusly
The "big name" to me has always been CrewHu. Not sure why they aren't in the listing at the time of this writing but they are far and away the big name from my perspective. This is the main other tool we've seriously considered and I think it highlights the opposite points I've …
Culture Amp
Chose Culture Amp
Culture Amp is the first such tool I have used. I find it to be very well rounded and useful, especially since culture is one of the trickiest parts of a business to get a hold of as related to the bottom line. The fact that followup on goals and feedback can be done thanks to …
Chose Culture Amp
We havent looked at anything else since buying cultureamp 4 years ago because it is that good
Chose Culture Amp
Culture Amp is great for employee surveys for both small and large companies. That said, it is not robust enough to house our entire performance review process.
Chose Culture Amp
We have not evaluated any alternatives. Culture Amp was recommended by a senior director who used it at another company and enjoyed it.
Chose Culture Amp
Before Culture Amp we used Gallup for our staff engagement survey. Culture Amp is SIGNIFICANTLY better for us. Gallup would not allow us the customization or reporting features that we needed, and comes with Culture Amp. The platform and functionality of Culture Amp, plus all …
Chose Culture Amp
  • Cheaper
  • Better analytics
  • More user-friendly
Chose Culture Amp
Culture AMP is a full service platform that cuts data and provides analytics and insight. It is a different level than what can be done thrush Google Forms.
Chose Culture Amp
After reviewing other tools, we decided to go with Culture Amp (this was at a previous company). I ended up liking it so much that it was something I recommended at my new company. Ultimately we liked that Culture Amp provided data benchmarking from other companies, was easy …
Chose Culture Amp
Culture Amp does really well against other platforms. It's just very expensive for a tool that primarily focuses on employee engagement and surveys. Other tools out there that do really well providing performance management, employee engagement, and HR Analytics. Culture Amps …
Chose Culture Amp
I've used other products like IBM Kenexa as well as about 10 different engagement surveys. I've also used things like SurveyMonkey and Microsoft Forms and Culture Amp for companies that want to make decisions using better data. I would say Culture Amp was far and away better. …

Likelihood to Recommend
Bonusly has provided us a formal space to post recognition. While face to face recognition still occurs, this is a place where staff can post publicly or privately, but a majority choose public. It has been incredibly popular since our implementation. Staff love the ability to earn time off through recognition. That customized redemption is our most popular reward.

Culture Amp is a great tool for employee surveys, and has been able to scale with us for 5+ years. It's customizable and helps provide rich data on how employees are feeling so that we can continue to use that feedback to improving our company culture quarter over quarter.

  • Provides survey templates with benchmark data from all other users, grouped by industry and company size.
  • Very user-friendly analytics of the post-survey results- easy to apply filers, graphs, charts, heat maps, great visuals. The data and charts are also very easy to extract in several different formats such as Excel, PDF, and CSV.
  • Extremely easy to share results with leaders/managers, apply security permissions for only parts of the data if you don't want to share full company results.
  • They also have a library with very helpful/guided PowerPoint and storytelling templates for preparing a high-level overview of results and presentations.

Cons
  • There should be more option to redeem points like custom rewards.
  • Then, more digital gift cards are popular for that specific country. We have a global workforce and there are different countries involved.

  • For some reason, you need to sign in every time you reopen the browser
  • It would be nice to have a notebook section where I can follow up on the courses I'm undergoing and the tools I'm learning, and to be able to share that progress with colleagues and on social media
  • If it incorporates all the organization, Culture Amp could offer a culture map so strategic improvements can be made for the organization

Usability
Bonusly is easy to use and intuitive for anyone familiar with technology and using websites. There is a page where posts are made, and a page where rewards are redeemed. It is very straightforward.

So I would give it a 10 once it is integrated, but because the integration was a challenge and I found the customer service to not be concierge level enough, I would have to lower it to an 8 for that reason.

I never had any issues with support. It's especially nice to be able to add location-specific rewards.

Culture Amp stacks up and blows the competition away with the level of data you can dig into without being able to see what individuals set.

Return on Investment
  • Employees are encouraged to "live the values" as other members see and recognize their achievements monetarily.
  • This spreads a load of recognition from just leadership/managers across the entire organization, potentially eliminating/reducing a recurring existing task your company is currently doing.
  • Features/freedom of posting in a 'social media' style environment encourages light-hearted comradery between employees.

  • Much easier, faster process for performance evaluations
  • Feedback from our first engagement survey informed some initiatives that have fostered a more positive, inclusive culture at our company.
  • Feedback from our COVID survey informed initiatives that helped keep our staff more comfortable and increased their trust in our leadership.
