"Great tool for connecting"
5/5
What do you like best about Kona?

Having regular check-ins with peers so we can see how everyone is doing. It allows us to lean on each other more as a team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kona?

Sometimes the AI is slightly off, which isn't a significant deterrent. With time, I'd love to see more transparent and in-depth insights on the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kona helps our team stay connected in a remote environment"
5/5
What do you like best about Kona?

Kona is not like other status update tools. Kona updates are focused on how we're doing as humans. It helps the team stay connected as people first, work second. Bonding as a team in a fully remote work culture can be incredibly difficult. Kona turns it into a daily habit and ritual for my team. We're all responsible for and at liberty to care for and check in on each other. As the team's manager, it provides me insights around team health -- who might be moving toward burnout or who's in a groove and might be able to help others out. I'm also able to glean some insights on how psychologically safe the team is feeling at any given moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kona?

There's nothing I particularly dislike. I think there's a lot of room for improvement in the automated data and insights the tool surfaces. If I were to pick on one thing, it can be a little challenging to onboard the tool and get it set up in Slack channels. The team is always super responsive though when I need help on getting settings fixed or reconfigured though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kona is a great tool to build team connections and help us help each other as teammates."
5/5
What do you like best about Kona?

Kona integrates with Slack, making it incredibly easy to use. The notifications and reminders are very helpful. I get a ton of value out of the reminders before each 1:1 meeting, and my team often uses the check-ins as a way to help each other out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kona?

Sometimes the tool can be a bit buggy, but the team is usually quick to fix the bugs. They're very hands-on and helpful whenever we have issues. The tool is a bit limited in features today, but it still delivers a ton of value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The anchor of our teams culture."
4/5
What do you like best about Kona?

The fact that it is daily and takes a little bit of work - requires me to think separately about culture, and think about how I am doing every day. It means I can see each day how my team is doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kona?

The product is simple to use and I think it could have more features. However I am not sure yet if this is a feature or a bug. It is highly effective though, so i am not sure if making changes would be an improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
