"Easy to Give and Redeem Nectar Points, with Helpful Email Reminders"
What do you like best about Nectar?

The most helpful thing for me is the frequent email reminders to send nectar points to my colleagues. Without those reminders, I’d be much less engaged because I get busy at work. Nectar points are easy to assign on the giving end, and they’re just as easy to redeem on the receiving end. I recently redeemed mine for a $100 Visa card, and I used it right away to take my wife to lunch. There are all kinds of gift card options available, which makes it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

Sometimes I don’t remember how the points translate to $. I think it’s 1,000 points equal $100, but I don’t always have that conversion in mind. It would be nice if certain gift cards could occasionally be “on sale”—for example, 900 points could get you a $100 gift card for select options (similar to how credit card companies do it). Other than that, I can’t really think of anything I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Coworker Recognition and Rewards Platform"
What do you like best about Nectar?

I like how we as coworkers can send points to each other, and i like the different things you can buy with the points. I feel that it is a great platform to bring in a work environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

I really dont dislike anything, but I will say just sometimes login in and forgetting your login in and the whole process to get access into nector is a bit difficult, having to call Hr. And one more thing is new hires always have trouble getting access when they first start having it seamless and easier for new hires, I think would help nector more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fun, User-Friendly Incentives That Make Recognition Easy"
What do you like best about Nectar?

I love Nectar. It creates a fun work atmosphere with the incentives and options for customizable incentives. I strive to be a good coworker not only for my team but for the nectar incentives as well. It's very user friendly and easy to manage. I use Nectar all the time to use my points, or to shout out a coworker who did exceptionally well that week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

I don't think there's many downsides. It was a little confusing to use at first but not hard to figure out. The design makes it pretty easy to figure out. Sometimes it can lag or take a second when claiming an incentive but that's really all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use Recognition Tool That Builds Camaraderie"
What do you like best about Nectar?

Nectar is great because it puts an incentive on recognizing others in your company for things they may not get recognition for. It also promotes camaraderie. It is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

There isn't anything that I dislike about nectar. The only thing and this may be specific to my company is that we have health incentives that are given out as nectar points. It would be nice to filter that out from the main page, with a company our size, sometimes it can get cluttered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive UI and Daily Use!"
What do you like best about Nectar?

I think that the best features of Nectar are in the UI. The dashboard is so easy to use and navigate. Posting updates is as simple as checking the boxes below when you're recognizing a coworker, which makes the integration with Slack so smooth. You don't feel like posting in Slack, okay... go to the Nectar website and use that dashboard instead as both work without issue. I see our teams using the platform daily which helps with the company vibes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

Honestly, there's nothing I can think of using the product that I would be able to provide negative feedback about currently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nectar Makes Appreciation Easy—and Rewards Feel Meaningful"
What do you like best about Nectar?

Nectar has been a pleasant experience. Showing appreciation to others on a weekly or even monthly basis, in your work group/community is great for support. Makes one feel seen and appreciated even when they don't always see each other everyday. (I'm the weekend person)

Being able to turn those appreciation points into fun and useful things is just as great and simple to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

The only issue I've noticed is when following a suggestion from an email notification, it redirect to the front page. Therefore having to scroll through previous announcements to find the person you were first informed about, as it goes by date. Maybe be able to type in a persons name to see their announcement, ie: work anniversary, birthday, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy, Teamwide Engagement with a Super Intuitive UI and Fast Support"
What do you like best about Nectar?

-Easily engage company or teamwide with other user.

-The user interface is so easy to digest and to use, it literally took me less than 20 seconds to learn how to use it including editing my profile and sending points.

-If you have an issue, they resolve it very quickly!

-I check it everyday, and give out nectar points every day almost to keep morale going.

-Our company has it integrated with Microsoft Teams so you get a notification through there as well as email.

-Also enjoy recognizing other for their hard work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thus far I have nothing negative to say about Nectar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Employee Recognition, But Reward Variety Could Improve"
What do you like best about Nectar?

Nectar makes employee recognition very simple and more consistent. The points and rewards system keeps teams engaged and it’s easy to appreciate someone for good work in public channels. Setup is quite easy and doesn’t take much effort. Integrations like Slack can be enabled quickly, and team onboarding is simple. Support is responsive and helpful for most queries. Sometimes the resolution takes time when it’s related to rewards or third-party vendors. We use Nectar weekly for giving recognition and sending points. It becomes more active during team events or monthly appreciation cycles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

Reward options can feel limited depending on location, and sometimes the catalog doesn’t have enough variety. Also, few features feel basic and could be improved for better customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"When appreciation become a habit not a meeting, it really help me a lot"
What do you like best about Nectar?

So if I talk about my experience what I enjoy most is how low effort it is for that team people actually use it without reminders because giving recognition fees quick and casual not like feeling out of form. The reward catalogue is flexible to everyone find something the genuinely want instead of generally gift card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

So as of my experience the admin side can feel a bit hidden at first and some settings and reports take time to discover and customising rules isn't always obvious without digging into help docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great platform for building a culture of appreciation"
What do you like best about Nectar?

Nectar makes employee recognition simple, visible, and engaging. It’s easy for me (and others on my team) to recognize coworkers in real time, attach rewards, and reinforce our company values and principles. The Slack integration is also very smooth, which makes it easy to recognize others on a monthly basis or quickly when the moment comes up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

While some reward customization options could be expanded, these feel like minor points overall compared with the value Nectar provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
