Working with Karmabot has drastically helped to improve recognition at Mission. We are a company that greatly values work-life balance so we support a remote workforce, whether that’s 100% remote or from time to time as needed.

One of the downsides of this flexibility is that we don’t always have the opportunity to provide recognition to each other face to face. Karmabot fills that gap by allowing team members to send each other recognition at any time of the day and from any location through Slack.

Not only has the frequency of recognition increased, but team members have reported an increase in happiness and connection after the implementation of this tool. Managers have also been provided with an opportunity to learn about helpful behavior among team members that they may not have otherwise heard about through the openness and transparency this tool provides.

Karmabot has also helped us to further embed our core values in our daily lives by being able to reference a core value in each piece of recognition. This tool’s flexibility and the company’s responsiveness and willingness to work with us to find solutions to our needs is something you don’t always experience.

It has been an absolutely positive experience working with Karmabot. If you are looking for a great way to help increase recognition and happiness within your organization with a company that is responsive and will proactively work with you to find solutions that fit your company’s needs I would recommend working with Karmabot.

No downsides. It's an easy to use tool that is flexible to adapt to our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As our school closed for lockdown, we quickly moved to the Microsoft Teams platform to continue teaching and learning. We needed a way to give the students praise the same way that they would receive it in the classroom. We give Karma for attending lessons on time, returning assignments and active engagement on the teaching platform. Our students are loving it, and compete for points by turning up for lessons and doing their work! We have found Karma Bot invaluable to our success for keeping our students engaged with teaching and learning. Support is fast, friendly and we are very pleased with this product!

I must say, there is nothing I dislike about Karma Bot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This app worked very well with our students. It gave them motivation to carry on through the COVID -19 remote learning. It was quick, efficient and very easy to use and track.

It is perfect in MS Teams as all our learning was on there.

We could set our own rewards which were things like - assignment pass, choose who to go in a break out room with, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if there was a way to track who claimed which prize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Karma allows the creation of value categories. These allow you to praise peers on a specific trait or value of the company through the de-facto Karma award system or through micro-Karma. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is some friction in accessing the scores and leaderboards, but this speaks more to limitations in Slack than of the product itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Giving and receiving karma has gotten more and more intuitive. It's an elegant means of tracking and promoting positive sentiment in our online community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initially, the "++" which took some retraining to properly use – but since they've upgraded to keyword-based praise, nothing. Great add-on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a perfect tool for our team. Karmabot has long been part of our daily work.

Karmabot is currently integrated with our Slack. The process is very simple and takes only a few seconds. Usability allows our team members to use this tool whenever possible. And new employees immediately understand how Karmabot works.

Also, we see a weekly rating of everyone who got Karma. It is a great motivation to do even more for colleagues and the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team hasn't had any problems during the whole time of using Karmabot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer support response was great! Also, they received suggestions with an open minded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing for now, but will contact or give suggestions in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were obliged to migrate from hipchat to slack. We liked Karma for peer recognition of our teams. Karma Bot does everything we were looking for and has additional capabilities to help motivate and encourage our teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found any challenges that I wasn't able to solve with using the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. the ability to align feedback with core values

2. emoji weights +/- and self learning keyword recognition if someone doesn't proactively dap

3. Leaderboards and reports useful for performance reviews Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. That emoji microkarma weights can't go higher than .1 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrates easily with our company chat and provides peer appreciation opportunities people remember. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s currently integrated with our Slack, but we also love to send out group emails. It’s a bit of a hack how we do it now. I heard more features are developing, so looking forward to them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful thing about the bot is the ease with how it works. Simple ++ or --. Easy, quick way for someone to recognize something they like about what another person did. These micro recognitions throughout the day go a long way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a whole lot to dislike. Every time I've wished there was a feature, or a different way something worked, I've mentioned it and within a week or less they were able to get the feature added. Amazing attention to customer desires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have recently replaced our peer recognition system with the Karma bot for Slack and people are using it ten times more. They enjoy how interactive it is and experiment with the number of karma points they can give with a different number of ++++. The fact that we can set up our company's values in the tool is a great feature because this way the positive behaviours that are being recognized can be linked directly to the company values. It's fun, it's colorful, it's positive and helps us build the right company culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I have not found anything that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have a small team that would otherwise not be inclined to provide each other feedback. Karma gives them a quick, safe, and easy way to recognize each other's contributions and impact to our team.

We also love the rewards as we've been able to use these to motivate behaviors that would otherwise be hard to track and recognize with such a small team. The Rewards make the positive behaviors turn into real value for our teammates. Its a really great way to reinforce the culture we want for our team.

Finally, it was easy for our team to learn to use even though they are very much novices with Slack. They started using Slack this year, and adding Karma was a very simple addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great to have more of the feature available on the Karma website directly available with Slack. This is more of an issue with how Slack works than Karma, but there's a lot of great features on the Karma site that would be great to have directly within Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of our team works remotely, so Slack is our office. Karma bot helps us to share good momentum within the team and help others to visually praise it. It makes a positive and supportive culture even when we do not see others in person often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some people do not use Slack much, so there are some barriers to try to engage with those people. (This might not be relevant to Karma bot itself though) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple and focused. Lives right inside your Slack and MS Team messengers. So our employees are using it every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not sure. I think everything is there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability for teams to define their own rewards for redemption, the leaderboards, the visibility it brings to what people are being recognised for, the ability to define our core values and tag a value against a karma reason ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting was restricted to only exporting the top 50 in csv format BUT the karma team fixed that in under 48 hours ! The best software experience I have ever had and trust me ... I have been in the game a while !!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's fun and highly engaging which makes sure that the whole team adopts it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inability to do things without Slack's slash commands Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perfect integration into our comms tool of choice(Slack in our instance) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I live everything about this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love some of the very basics:

1. How karma is issued - simple at mention in Slack. Everyone has been able to figure out how to use this

2. The animations in your Karma rewards - people love them, laugh and enjoy them a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some older features were superfluous. Time tracking was never gonna happen. They've since done away with the idea. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how convenient and easy-to-use Karmabot is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You still have to add the bot to certain channels, but I guess that’s a limitation of Slack rather than Karma. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Karma Bot's leaderboards, rewards and reinforcement of values really help a culture to thrive where our team actively seek to help each other and the organisation to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We haven't encountered downsides as of yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Definitely the ability to reward colleagues. Almost like a virtual high five. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would love to be able to reward in a more major way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We wanted a way for employees to give quick, easy but officially recognized notes of gratitude. There is no such thing as too many 'thank you's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if Karma could integrate with email (especially Gmail). Leaderboards must go: they encourage only the top 3 people, the 'appreciation board' should show more personal achievements, everyone should be the best in something. Also, it would help if we could integrate in-app Amazon Cards purchasing for Rewards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What's really handy is proving feedback "in-the-moment" without having to wait until the monthly or annual review. Also - no such thing as "too small of a job well done" which is an excellent and fun way to keep the team engaged Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be helpful to have the detailed guide on how to adopt Karma available somewhere, but I guess each company is different. The 1-on-1 demo has sorted it for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
