Excellent User Friendly Team Motivator

The overall experience with Kudoboard has been wonderful. It is user friendly, and I love that not only managers can add to the boards but other team members as well. It allows everyone to be able to give shoutouts when employees go the extra mile, have a birthday or celebrate other life events. It is a really great tool for employee engagement and recognition.

Kudoboard Self Review

Overall, the experience with Kudoboard is positive and emotionally impactful, especially when used for its intended purpose—group appreciation, celebration, or recognition.

Ratings Breakdown

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Kudoboard makes it easy for a group of people (like coworkers, friends, or family) to come together and contribute personalized messages, photos, GIFs, and videos in one place. It’s like a modern-day group card—but way more expressive.

Cons:

While Kudoboard offers a clean layout, there’s not a ton of flexibility when it comes to fully customizing the board’s design or layout beyond choosing a background and content types. For users wanting more artistic control or branding options, this can feel limiting.

Sharing Best Wishes to Departing Colleagues Made Easy

Very easy to set up new kudoboards for employees heading to new jobs or adventures. It is fun to provide a way to donate to them as a 'going away' present by sponsoring their kudoboards. There was good and positive response from staff receiving a kudoboard and it was surprisingly easy for colleagues to use the kudoboard to wish departing employees with good wishes. The uptake by colleagues was very surprising.

Pros:

This platform makes it easy for us to share good wishes to departing employees. It is easy to launch a new kudoboard, but also able to set up donations.

Cons:

There were no issues when setting up a kudoboard. One tiny way to improve would be to enable more fonts so that we can more easily distinguish messages from various 'signers'.

FUN LAST MINUTE GIFT

When I first discovered Kudoboard they were still doing free mini boards which is what made me an instant returning customer at my small law firm. When that changed I was not at all upset because it was still very affordable and continued to be a fun way for all the team to interact.
