I love it!

We're a startup and we've been using Applauz for a few weeks right now. Overall, it's great. Setup was straightforward, there's a bunch of tools and new features have been added since I first installed it. Love it!

I wish I had to pay for it. Just kidding.

We are very pleased and after extensive research with many companies I feel we made the best choice we love it!
Pros
It’s so easy and it encourages staff engagement to notice each other and the good things happening in our agency not just frontline but behind the scenes.
Cons
I really can’t say. If I speak for the agency we have a few people that struggle with technology so they’d have comments about it being online Also on the recognition part the comment space need to allow for more space

Applauz enables me to create a culture of recognition
Happier more engaged people that are aligned with our values and objectives.
Pros
The software is easy to use and very employee centric. It's hand downs the best value for money. .The customer support has been incredibly responsive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Full features and easy to use, I can't believe Applauz is free
Pros
The system is easy to use, and customer support is just amazing. The interface is also easy enough to use that I understood how to use the tools in minutes.
Cons
it is necessary to prepare the HR team before implementing such a system, it is a big change that should not be underestimated.

This company provides really good customer service and provides very useful and effective services
Pros
It helps to attract customers to my website by providing reward catalogs to customers and incentives them to purchase products
Cons
It's a big complicated to use if you don't know what you are doing. Also, sometimes the system bugs and it crashes.

Annonomus button
fantastic, from demo to go live, this has been such a user-friendly experience.
Pros
how easy it is to reward points and engage employees.
Cons
the feature to reward anonymous points, the only way I can figure it out is to hide the recognition in the feed, there should be a keep recognition anonymous so only the employee who receives the reward sees it. some people respond better to silent recognition.

Refreshing & Intuitive Employee Engagement Program!
Pros
We've just recently launched Applauz. I can't give it enough glowing reviews! I presented it to my CEO and COO and they were sold instantly. Administratively its so simple. So many great features. It automates our birthday and anniversary announcements among other amazing things. Our staff gravitate towards the news feed on a daily basis and really appreciate the ability to post and congratulate their colleagues. They also appreciate their POINTS and LOVE the marketplace, with over 2500 items and 250 brands to choose from. We all enjoy our retail therapy! Congratulations on catering to SMBs and really delivering a quality, high caliber product and service!
Cons
The only suggestions we've had so far is we'd like to see the ability to edit and add pictures to posts. Also we'd like to be able to make "group" posts. However we know they are still new and growing and like any new company they are evolving everyday. Applauz is very receptive to feedback and they are very easy to work with. It's been an absolute pleasure learning about all of their new features as they continue to evolve based on their client feedback.

Logiciel complet pour bâtir une culture d'entreprise
Utile pour les entreprises désirant maintenir une culture forte même lorsque tout le monde travaille à distance!
Pros
Facile à utiliser. Fil d'actualité intéressant et possibilité aux employés de se reconnaître et de se récompenser entre eux. Le logiciel permet de recueillir une belle qualité de données pour mieux appuyer les équipes, les employés et l'organisation. La fonction des sondages permet d'obtenir le pouls des équipes de façon constante et ainsi, d'ajuster les initiatives internes selon les réponses obtenues.
Cons
Les frais de licence sont en dollars américains.

Complete employee recognition software

Logiciel de mobilisation
Pros
L'automatisation des anniversaires de service est très apprécié de l'équipe RH et les employés sont très reconnaissant. Le module de sondage nous a permis de découvrir et ajuster un point faible que nous ne savions pas que nous avions avant. L'équipe Applauz est super agréable et toujours disponible pour nos questions.
Cons
A quand la reconnaissance par enregistrements vidéo?

Easy to get up and running, and quick buy-in.
Pros
Makes rewarding our people easier than ever! It's not a daily thing, but makes sure we're on top of it.
Cons
Not the most user-friendly interface. Could be more "familiar" in some of the UX design and other interactions.

The onboarding is very easy as well as the ease of use. There are a number of tools we do not use yet but as our company grows, these tools are going to be very useful.

None so far. Wish we have found out about Applauz earlier.

Easy to use and fun
Pros
Easiest employee recognition software and it's free. The interface is easy enough to use that I understood how to use the tools in minutes.
Cons
With peer to peer recognition there is always a risk to turn in ''scratch my back and I scratch yours.''

Great Platform
Good free platform.
Pros
Easy to use, nice interface and a large digital market giving a lot of options for our employees. The medals you can give are also a great way to motivate our workforce for their efforts.

The market can be difficult to use. The filter tool did not seem to work at the beginning.
