"Recognize Makes Shoutouts Easy and Boosts Team Morale"
What do you like best about Recognize?

What I like best about Recognize is how easy it makes it to celebrate the people around me. I love being able to give a quick shoutout when someone goes above and beyond, it feels genuine and meaningful. It’s also really motivating to see the great work happening across the team and to know we’re all supporting each other. I really love this idea where you can say something to anyone in the organization about the good works or contribution. It really boost morale and make everyone inclusive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

Sometimes I forget to use Recognize when things get busy. I know it’s important, but in the middle of a hectic day, it can slip my mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Camille Escobar of Recognize

Thanks, Jerome! We’re glad it’s been helping boost morale and connection across your team. Even quick shoutouts make a big difference. Keep us posted if there’s anything we can do for you.

"Effortless Recognition that Boosts Team Morale"
What do you like best about Recognize?

I use Recognize to appreciate and reward team members for their contributions, and it helps make recognition visible across the organization. I love how it helps celebrate wins, reinforces positive behavior, and strengthens team morale without the hassle of manual tracking. A key feature I appreciate is the activity feed, where everyone’s recognitions show up, making achievements and shout-outs visible to the whole team. The setup was fairly straightforward too, and the integration with other tools in our workflow, like communication and HR platforms, makes it natural to celebrate wins without switching apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

One thing that could be improved in Recognize is how crowded the activity feed can get when multiple teams are active. It sometimes makes it harder to spot the most meaningful recognitions without scrolling. Better filtering or sorting in the activity feed would help surface the most relevant or impactful recognitions, especially in larger teams. This would make it easier to focus on meaningful moments instead of scrolling through everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Camille Escobar of Recognize

We totally agree! There are the teams on the left to filter on your group, but we want to make the feed more meaningful by default this year. Thanks for the feedback.

"A Convenient Portal for Sharing Colleague Appreciation"
What do you like best about Recognize?

It's nice to know when your colleagues appreciate the work you're doing. It isn't always easy to give that feedback on the spot or in person, so having a portal to do it after the fact at your own convenience helps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

At some point it feels a little meaningless to give that feedback for certain things... But I don't necessarily put that on the shoulders of the apparatus we're using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Camille Escobar of Recognize

Thanks for sharing, Alex. We hope recognition continues to feel meaningful in your workplace. Let us know if there’s anything we can do.

"Customizable and Uplifting Way to Celebrate Coworkers"
What do you like best about Recognize?

I really appreciate how customizable and creative Recognize is when it comes to sharing appreciation with my coworkers. I also find it very easy to access all the features when recognizing people who have made a positive impact at work. It feels good to be acknowledged by coworkers and managers, even for the smallest contributions, and I try to use Recognize as often as possible to express my gratitude. Additionally, I enjoy being able to see the recognition others receive for their efforts, as it offers a great perspective on the ways people contribute beyond my usual collaborations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

I really don't have much negative feedback about Recognize. So far, I haven't come across anything I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Camille Escobar of Recognize

That’s fantastic, Tiffany! We’re so happy to hear how much you’re enjoying the platform. Keep us posted if there’s ever anything we can do for you.

"Recognize Makes Achievements Visible and Celebrates My Growth"
What do you like best about Recognize?

I like how Recognize allows others (and myself) to see the accomplishments I have made throughout the years. It made me feel good seeing my growth and knowing others appreciate my hard work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

I have heard that I am supposed to recover a tshirt, but have not received it yet. It would be really cool if there were options for incentives per badge earned. For example, you could pick from a tshirt, socks, extra %15 off banfield store, etc. But that’s just a random thought. I’m very appreciative of the tshirt I am supposed to receive. Lol Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Camille Escobar of Recognize

If you haven't received an item yet, contact our support, and we can look into it for you. Your second point is to give extra discounts in the store when you receive certain recognitions. This is a great idea we have considered, like additional access that can be unlocked. Great idea!

"Great Recognition Product!"
What do you like best about Recognize?

I love that this program was incorporated right into Teams. It made it very easy to use along with my daily duties that already exist. I really like that the app sends reminders for team members who have not received any recognition. It is also very easy to use and has great features. (like the ability to transfer your points to gift cards.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

It was a little difficult in the beginning to figure out how to send the recognition. I would like to see a tab or button for easy access to that screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Camille Escobar of Recognize

Thanks, Artavia! We’re glad it fits so smoothly into your daily workflow. If you ever need help getting started or navigating features, please don't hesitate to contact our support team at support@recognizeapp.com. We’re always happy to assist.

"Easy Peer-to-Peer Kudos!"
What do you like best about Recognize?

This was my first time using Recognize in a corporate setting. I liked that you could choose from private or public kudos. Peer-to-peer recognition is so important, especially as folks get busy in their day to day roles. Also, since it integrates directly with tools we already use, it fits naturally into my routine and makes giving a shout out easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

One limitation that I noticed is that the reward catalog feels a bit narrow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Camille Escobar of Recognize

Thanks, Taylor! We’re happy to hear your first experience has been a positive one. We appreciate the note on the reward selection. Options can differ based on what the company has made available. Let us know if there’s anything we can do for you.

"Empowering Platform for Peer Recognition and Engagement"
What do you like best about Recognize?

I’d say what I like best about Recognize is how it creates an easy platform of appreciation. It makes people feel seen and valued. The way it consists of recognition between peers and managers really helps boost morale and engagement.

I also enjoy the points/rewards system in Recognize. This helps make recognition feel more tangible and fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

I enjoy the Recognize platform; however, I dislike that the shout-outs do not feel as personal. Some people may enjoy a personal face to face intercation. I also enjoy the points/rewards system; however, it may seem that people will take advantage of it only to accumulate those rewards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Camille Escobar of Recognize

Great to hear how much you enjoy the platform, Natalie! We understand your concern about personal recognition. We hope that the value of the recognition is clear and not just about the rewards. While the rewards system is designed to motivate, we also hope that everyone will use it to appreciate each other’s efforts truly. We’d love to earn a full 5/5 from you next time! Let us know if there's anything else we can improve.

"Probably the best Employee Incentive Program I have ever been a part of!"
What do you like best about Recognize?

Recognize is the best. We use this program all the time at work to incentivize each other to be the best and most productive workers that we can be. I have seen first hand how much of an impact something as small as sending a recognition badge to your coworker has. Not only can it make someone's day, but it promotes comradery, it motivates us to do a good job in a consistent fashion, and it improves morale and makes people feel special, important, appreciated, and most importantly, seen. I think recognize is an invaluable tool, that frankly, we can never use enough! Not only that but the recognize site is extremely user friendly and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

No complaints. One change that could be made is to just add more gift card options for a larger number of stores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Way to Build a Positive Team Culture"
What do you like best about Recognize?

What I like best about Recognize is how simple it makes peer-to-peer recognition. Instead of recognition being a once-in-a-while thing, it’s now built right into our daily workflow with Teams integration this also ensures we use the feature frequently. Colleagues can appreciate each other in real time, and leadership gets visibility into those contributions. The rewards and points system keeps people motivated, but what really stands out is how it creates a culture of appreciation without feeling forced. It’s quick, intuitive, and genuinely improves morale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

There’s nothing major, but the mobile experience could be a little more polished. Sometimes the notifications lag slightly, though it doesn’t affect overall usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Camille Escobar of Recognize

Thanks, Ankit! We’re continuously improving the mobile experience. If you haven’t tried our app yet, feel free to download it here for smoother access: recognizeapp.com/mobile
