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. 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Tommy Parker Management Consultant 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. Incentivized Helpful? Jack Mattheus Human Resources Management 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Kudos® I haven't used any other peer recognition software! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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. 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! Open the door to seeing more smiles around the office and get in on the fun. … Incentivized Helpful? AL Allyson Lamar Pharmacy Technician Chose Kudos® I have only used and evaluated Kudos. Incentivized Helpful? VL Victor Lushnikov Customer Service Chose Kudos® I have personally never used another product like KUDOS. Incentivized Helpful? EF Eric Foster Lead Software Engineer 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 … Incentivized Helpful?	Worktango Jane von Halle, CPTD Learning Specialist Chose Worktango I have just started using Lattice as an Admin, and I think Kazoo had more customizable options where you could add your info to instructions and supporting documentation. Kazoo also had better customer support. Incentivized Helpful? Nathan Richardson SEO Specialist Chose Worktango This product seems to outperform the competition in the reviews that we're aware of. Not surprisingly, we've been extremely pleased with this product. It's funny to think that a simple piece of software could add so much by way of positivity to our workplace, but it most … Incentivized Helpful? Eric Serdar SEO Strategist Chose Worktango It's fairly equal across all of the different platforms for Peer-to-peer recognition. For more extensive peer feedback or surveys, a tool like Kudos or Lattice is probably better suited for your needs. If you're just looking for a simple employee recognition or peer-to-peer … Incentivized Helpful? Lisa Shapiro Payroll Manager Chose Worktango Both Namely and Hey Taco have their own version of this. Namely has appreciations that you can do through their HRIS platform, that is basically shout outs to employees and Hey Taco is a Slack integration that has its own way to send recognition and also has a redemption … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Kudos®	Worktango
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. Incentivized Jack Mattheus Human Resources Management Read full review	The recognition piece is the biggest, most important piece of the whole software in my opinion. It cultivates an environment of teamwork and appreciation and has been a huge culture-builder for us! We love using Kazoo. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Encourages employees to go above and beyond! Encourages our staff to make an effort to support our employees by handing out KUDOS for good deeds or for bright ideas that help innovate the company. Helps our leaders make informed decisions on good staff by viewing the distribution of KUDOS to our employees and helps maintain a level of professionalism between the employees. Incentivized VL Victor Lushnikov Customer Service Read full review	Socializes positivity. Flexibility in rewards. Gift cards, charity, funny gifts (a hug from the CEO!). Provides a channel to reward folks for a job well done. A $25 Amazon gift card because I picked up some trash in the parking lot? Yes, please! Incentivized Joshua Henke Senior Netsuite Admin / Analyst / Developer Read full review
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	The ability to create custom reports as admins would be a nice feature. A feature that allows managers of the employees to be loaded into YEI and then they can receive a breakdown of the recognition of their direct reports periodically would be a nice feature. Ways for the employee to create their own reports to see their own receiving and giving metrics. Incentivized Lisa Shapiro Payroll Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Its a very good service that boost interaction and company moral between employees Incentivized JM Jared Mohamed Sales Executive Read full review

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	I have just started using Lattice as an Admin, and I think Kazoo had more customizable options where you could add your info to instructions and supporting documentation. Kazoo also had better customer support. Incentivized Jane von Halle, CPTD Learning Specialist 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	It has fostered positivity in the workplace. It has contributed to a solid company culture. It has alleviated negative feelings in some circumstances. Incentivized Nathan Richardson SEO Specialist Read full review
