Karma Reviews & Product Details

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.

We launched with Karma earlier this year after reviewing and piloting a few other recognition tools. Karma is an excellent employee recognition tool that hit the sweet spot of feature functionality, usability, and cost. I had used Karma at a previous company and always enjoyed the ease of use as an end-user. As we launched, it allowed us to quickly and publicly recognize our colleagues on our medium of choice (Slack). When we launched at my current company, I had the opportunity to work with the Karma team to make sure we were getting the most out of the tool. Most notably, we were able to map our company values into the tool. This added a new dimension to our recognition efforts which was more rewarding to the team and gave managers more insight into where their team members were showing up strong within the organization.

Adoption was seamless. We launched, and recognition via Karma spread pretty virally through our org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automated attribution of the values was sporadic. If we didn't include the right keywords, the value attribution missed fairly often. The value attribution requires a bit more tuning of the keywords over time to improve the success rate. Not terribly, but just feels "off" when it misses.

The other area I would love to see improvements is with user/group management. The team/group structure for driving access to Karma was a little unwieldy. My company is 6K employees, but only a small subset of that Slack user population needed access to Karma, so mapping to and maintaining that subset of users required a bit more care and feeding as we onboarded additional team members.

Karma is simple to use and get set up. Our sales rep has been extremely helpful all along the way, so we have felt supported from the beginning. One initial concern we had with looking for this type of app was that it was going to take a lot to have to admin, but that has not been the case so far. The team's feedback and usage has been overwhelming as well, particularly since it easily intergrated into Slack, which is what we use for our primary communication channel across the organization.

Some reward types require a manual setup, if the gift card reward we want to offer is not part of the initial catalog. It isn't a dealbreaker at all, but does add a touch of time to the initial setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team loves KarmaBot. We launched in January of 2020, just a few months before the pandemic hit and we went fully remote. Karma played a significant role in keeping us connected. I love browsing the Karma channel to see what's going on, and it's always especially fun to see the inter-department praise.

Even more so than receiving Karma, I think individuals love being able to acknowledge their peers in a fun and meaningful way. 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.

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.
