An online tool for boosting workplace morale

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Kudos from other similar products?

For me, what really sets Kudos apart from other similar products is the way it focuses on peer recognition and building a positive, inclusive work culture. Unlike some other tools that feel more like performance trackers or task managers, Kudos makes recognition feel personal and meaningful. The ability to send personalized feedback and recognition to colleagues is such a great way to boost morale and motivate people, and it helps foster a sense of community within my team. I also appreciate the flexibility Kudos offers when it comes to recognition setting as it allows us to align recognition with our company values and goals.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The process of giving feedback feels seamless, and there’s no friction, so it encourages consistent use. It’s great knowing that the positive feedback I give or receive is something that can be shared across the team, boosting motivation and morale. That sense of acknowledgment really stands out as a key part of why I enjoy using Kudos. Whether it's points, badges, or other incentives, the ability to convert recognition into something tangible is motivating for me, and I think it makes the process feel more rewarding and worthwhile. Ultimately, the peer recognition aspect of Kudos helps make the workplace feel more connected and human!

What do you dislike most about this product?

I’ve noticed is that, depending on how the platform is set up, it can sometimes feel like recognition is too tied to certain formal processes. For example, when we receive a reward or acknowledgment, it’s nice to see it publicly, but at times it feels like the recognition system could be more spontaneous or less structured—more like a “quick thank you” rather than something that needs to be tied to specific milestones or targets. While structure is great for tracking progress, I think a more casual, impromptu form of recognition could also help make the experience feel even more organic and less formal.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would definitely recommend giving it a try, especially if you're looking to build a positive, collaborative culture within your team or organization. If you value a workplace that emphasizes appreciation and acknowledgment, this tool is great for that.
