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.

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!

User Testimonials
	Kudos®	Elevate by LinkedIn
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.

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	I believe the price can be better worked.

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	Definitely LinkedIn elevate is a much easier program to use while still offering more complexity in Data and allowing better connection among employees. The content side makes it much more interesting and enjoyable than other programs. It also provides a more unique layout and structure that employees can seamlessly share content and learn from other posts. Incentivized ZS Zain Sardar HR Coordinator 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	Increased opportunity identification in sales by piquing the interest of prospects when I post engaging content. Increased efficiency and productivity in improving social media presence for the business. Strengthened leads by creating a reason to connect.
