Administrator and Accounting Associate Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/11/2026 "Fair Pricing, Smooth Microsoft Teams Integration, and Outstanding Support" 5/5 What do you like best about Recognize? I love everything about Recognize. The pricing feels very fair for all the features it offers. Alexia has also been the best support person ever; she guided me step by step as I customized the platform to achieve the objectives we want as a company. For us, it was especially important to have software that could integrate with Microsoft Teams, since that’s our only internal communication tool, and the integration was smooth and very helpful. Overall, Recognize is so user-friendly that it’s easy to navigate and find the options you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Recognize? Nothing to dislike, it's the perfect tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Recognize solving and how is that benefiting you? Before Recognize, we were sending birthday and work anniversary reminders manually, which often led to significant human error. Now the announcements pop up automatically, so we don’t miss any. Also, we didn’t have an organized way to reward our top-performing employees for going the extra mile or for living our core values. Recognize does this job for us by helping us recognize strong performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're thrilled to hear Recognize has been such a great fit for your team. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Alexia.

Technical Project Manager Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 9/7/2023 "A Strong Solution for Workplace Recognition" 5/5 What do you like best about Recognize? What stands out to me about Recognize is the idea that recognition should be woven into everyday work, not saved for an annual performance review. I appreciate how it makes it simple for employees and managers to celebrate wins, reinforce company values, and build a culture where people feel genuinely appreciated for what they contribute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Recognize? I don’t have any major dislikes, but I do think Recognize could keep expanding its rewards catalog and personalization options to make the experience even more engaging for different types of employees. I’d also love to see a special focus on deeper system integrations, more actionable data-driven insights, and stronger peer-to-peer appreciation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Recognize solving and how is that benefiting you? Recognize addresses the issue of employees feeling overlooked by making recognition, rewards, and appreciation a consistent part of everyday work. By tying recognition to company values and integrating with workplace tools, it supports stronger engagement and helps build a healthier culture. For me, that translates into an environment where achievements are noticed and acknowledged, collaboration is encouraged, and employees feel genuinely valued for what they contribute.

Behavioral tech Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/9/2026 "A Great Way to Uplift People and Celebrate Good Work" 5/5 What do you like best about Recognize? It gives you the chance to uplift people and let them know they’re doing a great job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Recognize? Nothing much to add—I love it. I really enjoy letting people know to keep up the work and that they’re doing good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Recognize solving and how is that benefiting you? Recognize addresses the challenge of inconsistent employee recognition and the lack of visibility into team contributions. In many organizations, recognition is handled manually, gets overlooked, or isn’t tracked in a meaningful way, which can lead to lower morale and disengagement. When appreciation isn’t documented or shared, it also becomes harder for leadership to understand performance and reward employees fairly. Using Recognize gives me a more structured, consistent way to acknowledge contributions across the team. It supports a culture of appreciation, improves communication, and helps keep everyone aligned around goals and achievements. On a personal level, it’s easier for me to stay motivated and feel valued, and it also gives me a simple way to recognize others in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Channel VP Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/20/2022 "Love this easy to use team member recognition program!" 5/5 What do you like best about Recognize? Ease of use. Fun badges already named. Positive vibes it creates when someone gives and receives a badge, compliment, kudos, etc! It's a refreshing surprise when you find out someone has also recognized you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Recognize? It would be great to save a few of my personal comments and sayings so I could copy and paste the kickoff and then add the add'l info, but it's great overall and I love using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Recognize solving and how is that benefiting you? It has the ability to contribute to a more positive and thoughtful culture with our organization. It's a chance to surprise someone with a public show of specific recognition vs. in a 1:1 or team call. The entire organization can view these, which is nice.

Image Processing Associate II Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/3/2026 "Recognize Makes Shoutouts Easy and Boosts Team Morale" 5/5 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. What problems is Recognize solving and how is that benefiting you? Recognize solves the problem of appreciation getting overlooked in the middle of busy workdays. It gives us an easy way to call out great work in real time instead of waiting for formal reviews. For me, that means I feel more connected to the team and more aware of the great things happening around me. It’s motivating to both give and receive recognition, and it helps create a more positive, supportive environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The formal ability to show appreciation to your coworkers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Recognize? I wish there were reminders to use our points regularly, it would force people to reflect on who is doing particularly well or is resiliant through a difficult period. I think a lottery of points could help keep this service forefront in the minds of the staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Recognize solving and how is that benefiting you? In my career it has been difficult to properly recognise the talent of my coworkers, without a system like this in place, the people who are going above and beyond for their work go un-noticed, they lose their motivation and drive, and the business loses out. This service helps retention and prevents attrition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/7/2026 "Diverse Recognition Categories with Seamless Setup" 5/5 What do you like best about Recognize? I appreciate Recognize for allowing us to give recognition to those who are excelling or simply doing what they're supposed to, especially since people often only hear feedback when there's a need for correction. I like the diversity in the recognition categories, which cover areas such as teamwork, going above and beyond, being compassionate, and being there for others. It's great how Recognize enables us to acknowledge various efforts and contributions across different domains. I also really enjoy using the points system and the ability to comment on people when they're recognized by others, which acts as a social hub for additional support and appreciation. It's very user-friendly and easy to access, making the setup process smooth and easy to start using right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Recognize? I haven't found anything that doesn't work for me with Recognize. The only thing I think could be improved is maybe having different categories for recognizing people, like more related to social appreciation such as a good friend, care, an implementer, or someone there for mental health support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Recognize solving and how is that benefiting you? Recognize helps us give recognition to those excelling in their roles, not just when corrections are needed. It allows us to show appreciation publicly, highlighting those going above and beyond.

Safety Specialist Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 2/2/2026 "A Convenient Portal for Sharing Colleague Appreciation" 4.5/5 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. What problems is Recognize solving and how is that benefiting you? Like I said earlier... Letting people know that you appreciate and acknowledge them is important. So this makes that easy. Though it isn't a perfect system and sometimes it feels like fellow employees may not appreciate the notification and the patronization feeling of an attaboy that essentially gives them only a symbolic award or token.
