Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/31/2026 "Enhances Recognition Across Teams Effortlessly" 5/5 What do you like best about Kudos? I use Kudos to recognize colleagues when they contribute to projects, support the team, or achieve important milestones. It’s a simple way to show appreciation and keep recognition visible within the organization. Before using Kudos, appreciation often stayed within small teams. The platform helps make recognition more visible across departments and ensures people get acknowledged for their work. What I like most is the transparency it brings. You can see how people across the company are contributing, which creates a more positive and motivating environment. Transparency in Kudos is valuable because it allows everyone to see the recognition happening across different teams, not just within their own department. It gives better visibility into the contributions people are making and helps ensure good work is acknowledged more openly. The initial setup of Kudos was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Kudos? One area that could be improved is the customization of badges and rewards. While the existing options are good, having more flexibility to design or personalize badges and adjust reward settings based on team or department needs would make the platform even more engaging and meaningful for employees.

Product Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/26/2025 "Meaningful Recognition with Modern Tools" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Kudos? I find Kudos to be quite user-friendly, intuitive, and very simple to use. It allows me to select the category of appreciation or success metrics I'm trying to share, whether it's a comment or recognition for someone on the platform. The ability to express in free form, along with the integration of different emojis and GIFs, makes it modern and engaging, especially for those who enjoy a more visual layer in our digital world. It's also embedded within a modern digital landscape, which seems appealing. The platform's public recognition feature allows appreciation to be visible to everyone, not just in emails, and shows what different project team members and squads are accomplishing. This visibility helps keep motivation levels high and fosters a sense of belonging. I like the single sign-on feature, which makes setting up Kudos uncomplicated, allowing for an easy experience with just an organizational email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Kudos? I think the biggest feature that is missing at this point of time is the ability to share the link of a post when recognizing people. There should be a quick and easy button to share the link with people you appreciated or just notify them that they have been recognized. Another aspect that could be improved is including monetary benefits like vouchers as rewards, which could make recognition a more engaging and rewarding experience for recipients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Kudos solving and how is that benefiting you? Kudos solves our lack of a recognition system, allowing us to publicly acknowledge achievements and successes, boosting motivation and a sense of belonging among team members.

I think it could be improved in terms of having a limited amount of Kudos that could be sent. It's only 10 or then 25 or 50. I think there should be a way to say, like, I wanna give this person 35 Kudos, instead of a limited amount of 10 or 25 or 50.

Kudos makes recognition simple and accessible for everyone. It supports timely, peer-to-peer appreciation across teams, helping people acknowledge each other in the moment. Public recognition also reinforces positive behavior and strengthens company values. Overall, it helps boost morale, engagement, and workplace culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Kudos? Some possible downsides of Kudos are: Overuse can make recognition feel repetitive or less meaningful. It may favor more visible or vocal employees over quieter contributors. Not everyone actively participates, which can reduce its impact. If not used thoughtfully, it can start to feel like a formality rather than genuine appreciation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Kudos solving and how is that benefiting you? Kudos solves the problem of missed or delayed recognition by making appreciation immediate and easy. It also addresses limited manager‑only feedback by enabling peer‑to‑peer recognition across teams. This helps create a more positive and inclusive workplace culture where efforts are visible. As a result, I feel more motivated, valued, and connected to the team. Provide your feedback on BizChat Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JC Jaclyn C. Marketing and Communications Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/13/2025 "Enhances Team Morale with Interactive Recognition" 5/5 What do you like best about Kudos? I like that Kudos allows us to grow camaraderie between team members and show our thanks. I also appreciate being able to provide a specific example of how someone helped, and I think the GIFs are an awesome extra touch. They really capture people's attention on the message board, and the specific examples help the person receiving recognition understand why they are being acknowledged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Kudos? I wish our company gave us more points to award each month, I'm always running out of points. We only get 100 points a month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Kudos solving and how is that benefiting you? Kudos is great for growing camaraderie between team members and allowing us to show our thanks.
