"Easy Team Safety Recognition with Flexible Employee Rewards for our team partners"
5/5
What do you like best about Guusto?

The ease and ability to recognize fellow team members who take safety as a priority by all recognitions being shared on the app/platform. Also, the ability to reward employees in multiple offerings and the ability for the employee to have the choice on which gift card they want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

Not every team member uses their work email and I would like for the ability to add personal emails for accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Guusto Team of Guusto

Thank you for this wonderful review! We're thrilled that Guusto is making safety recognition visible and engaging across your team. :)

Regarding personal emails—this depends on how your company program is set up on the backend. We'd recommend reaching out to your company program admin to discuss adding personal email options for your accounts!

"Flawless UI and a Massive Merchant Catalog"
5/5
What do you like best about Guusto?

What stands out the most is the sheer variety of merchants in their catalog. The platform performs flawlessly, and the straightforward UI makes it simple to navigate through hundreds of options. It makes the entire recognition process feel genuinely valuable and personalized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

"While the platform itself is great, I wish there were more robust integration options with our existing daily tools. Deeper integrations with platforms like Slack, Teams, or our HRIS would make the recognition process even more automated and seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Guusto Team of Guusto

Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review! :) We're thrilled that the merchant variety and UI are making recognition feel personalized, and it's fantastic to hear how much smoother your budget tracking and month-end reconciliation have become with everything centralized in one dashboard.

Great news on the integrations front — we actually already offer Teams and HRIS integrations as part of our premium plan! Reach out to us at info@guusto.com and our team would be happy to guide you through getting those features! :)

"Easy Employee Gifting with Text Notifications and Printable QR Codes"
5/5
What do you like best about Guusto?

The team has been great to work with and has provided wonderful customer service. The process to onboard and integrate with workday, while time consuming, has been very smooth! I really like the ease of use of the portal and all of the administrative features like providing quarterly budgets to other workspaces, not allowing folks to send to themselves, only allowing sending to wayfair email addresses, and the visual and useful reporting tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

There are only two downsides so far:

1) The process to fund accounts is not as smooth as with all of our other vendors. I don't like the extra step of having to send an email to request an invoice. All of our other vendors attach the invoice on the backend within coupa without requiring this additional step of our team. This is something our team is not used to having to do and I am afraid it is going to continue to cause issues (already has).

2) Our previous digital gift card vendor automatically converted currencies prior to sending GCs - e.g. if I am sending a GC to someone in the UK, I select to send a $100 GC in pounds and it tells that I am being charged $75 USD for it and the employee will automatically receive it in their local currency. This really seems like a baseline expectation to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Guusto Team of Guusto

Thanks so much for the detailed review! 😊 Great to hear that Guusto has made employee gifting easier for your team and that the onboarding, integrations, and admin tools have been working smoothly.

We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback on the funding process and currency conversion experience. If you’d like to share any additional details or suggestions, feel free to reach out to info@guusto.com - we always welcome input as we continue improving the platform!

Guusto reminds me that all the effort you put into your work isn’t going unseen anymore. Every shout-out you receive or give to someone is recognition for their valuable work.

"Simple, Efficient Rewards Platform with Smooth Redemption and Great Gift Choices"
5/5
What do you like best about Guusto?

I've had a very positive experience with Guusto. Their website is user-friendly, easy to navigate, and makes sending and managing rewards simple and efficient. The platform offers a great selection of products and gift options, giving recipients plenty of choices to find something they genuinely enjoy.

I also appreciate how straightforward the redemption process is. Everything works smoothly, and the overall experience has been convenient and hassle-free. Guusto is an excellent solution for employee recognition and customer appreciation, and I would highly recommend it to others.

Highly satisfied with both the website and the products offered. 👍 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

The only downside was that some gift options felt limited, and the website could be a bit more streamlined when browsing rewards. Overall, it was still a good experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Guusto Team of Guusto

Wow, thank you for such thoughtful feedback! :D We love that the platform is delivering on efficiency and time-saving.

"Simple to Admin, Easy to Love Recognition Done Right"
5/5
What do you like best about Guusto?

Guusto makes employee recognition genuinely easy to set up and manage from an admin perspective. The dashboard feels clean and intuitive, and getting the program up and running took far less time than I expected—there was no lengthy onboarding process or technical hassle. What stands out most is the flexibility it offers both senders and recipients: managers can send recognition instantly via email or SMS, and employees can choose their own rewards from hundreds of merchants, so the reward actually feels personal. The budget controls are another highlight. Being able to run multiple programs in parallel, each with its own budget and spending limits, makes it straightforward to manage across teams without things getting messy. I also appreciate that unclaimed gifts are credited back in full, which means there’s no wasted budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

As an admin, the biggest limitation for me is customization. There isn’t much flexibility to tailor the platform’s look and feel to match our brand identity, and that would help the overall experience feel more cohesive for employees. I’ve also found that some of the more advanced features aren’t immediately obvious and require a bit of digging to locate, so a more guided onboarding flow for admins would be helpful. In addition, gift card availability varies by region, which can occasionally limit the options available to team members in certain locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Guusto Team of Guusto

Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review! :)

We're so glad Guusto is delivering on simplicity, flexibility, and impact. Your points on customization options and admin onboarding are noted and appreciated. And the fact that recognition is happening more meaningfully across your teams means a lot to us. :D

5/5
What do you like best about Guusto?

Guusto focus on recognition and appreciation of employees. Also makes it simple for organizations to celebrate and reward people in a meaningful way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

What I like best about Guusto is its focus on recognition and appreciation. I think employees do their best work when they feel valued, and Guusto makes it easy for organizations to celebrate and reward people in a meaningful way. I also like that the platform offers flexible rewards that recipients can actually use and enjoy, which makes the recognition feel genuine rather than just symbolic. Being part of a company that helps create positive workplace cultures is something I find very rewarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Every Company Should Have Staff Recognition through Gift Cards"
5/5
What do you like best about Guusto?

I love that it’s a simple yet exciting way for staff to get recognized for their efforts. Who doesn’t love a gift card? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

I haven’t fully explored yet so maybe we can do this, but it would be cool if we could nominate our peers, even if management had to approve it, if we could at least bring to their attention what we see each other accomplishing I think that would be conducive to a supportive work environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Guusto Team of Guusto

This is fantastic feedback! We're so glad Guusto is making recognition meaningful with real value. :)

And here's the good news about peer recognition - you can toggle 'Notify Manager' when sending recognition, and the manager will automatically get an email with the details. Perfect for bringing peer accomplishments to their attention! :D
