Chose Kudos®
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.
Chose Kudos®
I haven't used any other peer recognition software!
Chose Kudos®
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 …
Chose Kudos®
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. …
Chose Kudos®
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 Workleap
Workleap Officevibe is a fully featured product designed with a specific purpose; this makes it much easier to use for eNPS surveys and dashboards than SurveyMonkey and/or Power BI for analytics dashboards. Leaders can make it much more manageable. Also, Officevibe has quality …
Chose Workleap
Officevibe is a simple system that provides the opportunity to prepare for employee reviews and get a temperature of my team. Out of the other options, I like Officevibe for its easy interface, low/no cost, and automatically sequenced questions.
Chose Workleap
The only good and bad thing about Officevibe is that it's laser-focussed. It only does employee engagement. If you want a do-it-all tool, there are many alternatives. But if you want to nail employee engagement on the head and go deep, I highly recommend Officevibe.
Chose Workleap
While both of these products are geared towards office much larger than mine, Officevibe is priced by user so I was able to scale it down to fit us and is much more affordable than 15Five. They didn't have the ability to scale it down so the cost was very prohibitive for us. …
Chose Workleap
I didn't try anything else - Officevibe came across my desk and I went with it. I'm not sure what other options there are out there, but I'm sure there are a few. It's probably worth giving them a look, but if you're looking to keep your finger on the pulse of your company …

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.

If you don't have an employee engagement and performance platform, Workleap Officevibe will nicely fill that space; it would be best suited to small to medium organizations where there is already conversation to support team engagement, and anonymous surveys are helpful. The one-on-one feature and goals are also useful for proactively and positively engaging the workforce.

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

Officevibe's user interface for end users is straightforward and well-designed; it looks nice and intuitive. We did have confusion about the brand, with some new employees thinking they were spam emails. Also, the manager's view and getting access to the right visibility can be confusing unless well administrated internally.

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.

They didn't have the ability to scale it down so the cost was very prohibitive for us. I can add users as we grow and remove them if necessary so it's always going to stay affordable

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 love seeing the eNPS. It is a quick reference point to see where our employees approval line lies.
  • The executive team gets a deeper look at the feelings of employees to see if problems are brewing.
