I love sharing how others have made me feel and giving someone that feedback makes me feel all warm inside! Pros I love how easy it is to recognize fellow co workers. I also love the GIFs that are offered to spruce up the posts! Cons Theres really nothing that is bad or that I like least. If I had to be nit picky about something, maybe the app could be a little easier to navigate, but its not really hard to by any means. Review Source JR Jigar R. Heor Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good but can be better" March 29, 2025 5.0 Good. Opportunities are there to inprove though Pros Easy to connect the colleagues by initials and recognize them Cons Sometimes the app is clunky on the ios device and going back and forth deletes the text Switched from [Bravo](https://www.capterra.com/p/194165/Bravo/) New company and new interfaces that need to be followed Review Source JS Josh S. Biomedical Technician Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "could be better" May 20, 2025 2.0 overall it is annoying when trying to find something in the catalog and that everything is overpriced. there is a good selection, even if it is hard to find what you are looking for. Pros there is a wide variety of stuff to choose from in the catalog, even things to do if you have a trip planned or something Cons catalog is hard to navigate, lot ofunecessary duplication, i.e. gift cards being a different item for each amount, why not just have it as one gift card and you select the amount before checkout? also, just a lot of junk or overpriced things. for example, amazon firestick costs approximately $20 but on here it is the equivalent of almost $30. the amount of points it takes to get a gift keeps going up every time I go to get something. like they keep adding on fees with no explanation of something. another issue is that it take forever to load when going through the steps to recognize someone. which is compounded by the fact that you have to go through 7-8 steps to send someone points.

" March 25, 2025 5.0 It's been good, it's not tacos, but it's still great. Pros I like being able to give out recognition and it gets amplified by others. Cons Not sure what there is to not like. I just need more points. I run out when I'm on a recognition role. Switched from [Slack](https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/) We switched from Slack to Teams. I do miss some things.

Pros Allows you to promote your team in a positive manner. Cons Nothing. Great program! It is easy to use! Switched from [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) The company made the switch to the new program. Review Source MC MICHELLE C. CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVOCATE Insurance Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVOCATE" May 29, 2025 5.0 Pros IT'S A GREAT WAY TO ACKNOLEDGE THOSE WHO DO THIER BEST EACH DAY TO ENSURE OUR MEMBERS RECEIVE THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE. Cons I DON'T HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS OR CONS REGARDING ACHIEVERS AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, I FEEL THIS SERVES A GREAT PURPOSE Switched from [Bravo](https://www.capterra.com/p/194165/Bravo/) NEW OWNERS HAD THEIR OWN SYSTEM SET UP ALREADY Review Source NY Nathan Y. Business Analyst Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User experience with Achievers Gift Cards" April 4, 2026 4.0 Overall experience with Achievers is awesome, I never come across any issues or surprise or difficulty on using Achievers gift cards. Pros My company offers various gift cards redemption with different value options from Achievers as well other products similar as other online stores, as an employee appreciation token for work related contributions from management. Personally, I like to pick Achievers simply because the redemption reward value is not discounted as much as other online products, but also the redemption process is simple, easy and secure from my experiences. Also, I always received the online gift cards within one hour from Achievers. I have also recommended my colleagues to pick Achievers gift cards which provided flexibility on choices to spend on using the gift cards. Cons The least I like about Achievers is that I print a either hard copy of the Achievers gift card or keep the soft copy in my email. To print a hard copy, I need keep the paper copy, and stuff the A4 size paper inside my wallet. To keep a soft copy in my email, I need search around my emails on my phone. If there is a way to print a credit card size of paper copy with the redemption bar code, then it would be perfect in my case. Review Source LH Lance H. Senior Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It surprises me how often it will be noticed when using the Achievers system" April 16, 2026 5.0 Using Achievers saves me time to go hunting through different departments looking for managers to thank the employees who assisted me. Pros There are a lot of ways to simply select a button or two to award users points for Gift Cards and I am done. I have been impressed how well the A.I. rewriter does not make me appear as crazy as I may be. My notes look pretty professional. This also didn’t take an hour to set up and that was nice since I had plenty else to get done that morning. It’s good. Cons I dislike the fact that all of your earned points expire after one calendar month. To me this doesn’t make any sense. It has become a treasure hunt trying to determine the dollar amount of my Achievers, whether or not I have enough to purchase a Starbucks Card or even a full meal. Review Source JB Jenna B. Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Facebook for Work" March 13, 2026 4.0 all in all, "Facebook for employees," and a fun way to share goals, let alone recognizing others for their hard work. Pros Very easy to post/shout out to coworkers and share recognitions. Also very easy to redeem points for rewards and other products. Cons only had issues with logging in, not sure if it was Achievers or the company itself making changes or updates. Also, with transferring points, it sometimes took longer to receive them despite meeting the requirements to earn them.

It helped improve team morale, recognition, and overall employee engagement in an easy and organized way. Pros Achievers is easy to use and does a great job encouraging employee recognition and engagement. The platform makes it simple to celebrate accomplishments and helps create a more positive workplace culture. Cons Some features could offer a bit more customization, but overall the platform is smooth and user-friendly. Review Source DGL Don Glen L. Patching Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple, Motivating, and Useful" June 28, 2025 5.0 My experience with Achievers has been great. The platform makes it easy to recognize team members and celebrate wins, big or small. It has helped foster a more engaging and appreciative work environment. The reward system is also motivating and adds a fun element to recognition. Pros What I liked most about Achievers is how it promotes a culture of appreciation across teams. It’s simple to recognize someone’s hard work, and the public recognition really boosts morale. The platform also makes it easy to track contributions and stay connected, even across departments. Cons While Achievers is a great platform for recognition, one area that could be improved is the reward options. Sometimes the selection can feel a bit limited or not very relevant depending on the region. Expanding the catalog or adding more flexible reward choices could make it even better. Review Source HP Hemaxi P. Service technician Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### ""Transform your workflow"" May 5, 2025 5.0 Achievers' platform is generally well-regarded for its user-friendly interface and customization options. It's praised for its ease of navigation and the range of built-in rewards, allowing for both pre-set options and tailored customizations. Achievers also receives positive feedback for its customer support, with users reporting quick and effective assistance. Pros my greatest achievement is your work ethic. Knowing I played a role, however small, in them becoming more confident and effective is the most rewarding part of my career. Cons I liked least about my last job was the limited autonomy in decision-making. Review Source CP Carrie P. RN Claims Reviewer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Achievers is great" June 13, 2025 5.0 Great experience! I check in almost daily to update any activities and earn points. There are many retailers to choose from when ordering gift cards with points. Pros Enjoy earning points to cash in for rewards! Easy application to navigate and earn points! Rewards are great! Cons Achievers is good. It is user friendly. I do not have any cons at this time. All I can say it is a great program. Review Source PP Pedro P. CFD Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent recognition platform to connect with other people." March 13, 2025 4.0 I consider that the platform works fine, and the visualization have improved with the latest release, looks modern. Pros The possibility to create personalized recognitions by including images or gifs, this creates a more relaxed and funnier environment. Also, the boost feature is a great one, because helps to reinforce the recognition, and I already see that helps me to approach easily someone who I recognize and get a boost by their manager because consider that as a real recognition of his collaboration or help by their direct boss. Cons It is necessary to include a section about only the achiever inside your group, because even when the feed show you the recognitions of the people that is closer to you is not the same that to see the recognitions of your team, also is not so easy to find the recognitions done by myself, sometimes I forgot if I already send a recognition and take me some minutes to review all the notifications or feed to find the recognitions that I've done and see if I already send the one that I want to do. Review Source AP April P. Coding Specialist Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Reliable and Rewarding Experience" June 16, 2025 4.0 Overall, my experience with the Achiever's gift card service has been very positive. It’s a simple yet powerful tool for recognizing and rewarding team members in a meaningful way. The platform is intuitive, the selection of gift cards is diverse, and the delivery process is quick and reliable. It’s made it much easier to celebrate achievements and boost morale across the team. While there’s room for improvement—like offering more customization options for messages and expanding international choices—the core service is strong and dependable. It’s become a go-to solution for employee recognition in our organization, and I’d definitely recommend it to others looking for an efficient and thoughtful way to show appreciation. Pros I love how easy it is to recognize and reward team members instantly with a wide variety of gift card options. The platform is user-friendly, and the delivery is always fast and seamless. It’s a great way to show appreciation and boost morale, whether for small wins or major milestones. Highly recommended for any organization that values employee recognition! Cons While I really appreciate the convenience and variety Achiever's offers, one area that could be improved is the customization of gift card messages. Sometimes the personalization options feel a bit limited, and I’d love more flexibility to tailor messages to better reflect the occasion or the recipient. Review Source SS Sindy S. Quality and Auditor Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quality and Auditor " March 31, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with Achievers has been nothing short of excellent. Pros I appreciate how this platform motivates me to participate in various programs, helping me continuously grow my learning. Cons I don't have anything I dislike about Achievers. Review Source RB Reilly B. Customer Success Manager Publishing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Happy with Recognitions!" March 19, 2025 4.0 Overall, it's been very positive and I've enjoyed having it as an added perk, and tool to give my team mates shout outs and recognitions :) Pros I really enjoy the opportunity to recognize my team for all their hard work and achievements. It's such a rewarding feeling to give shout-outs and acknowledge the efforts they put in, whether it's completing a big project, going above and beyond, or even just consistently showing up and doing their best. The recognition not only boosts morale but also helps create a positive team culture. I've been told a few times that I've 'made someone's week' after a shout out, which brings me immense joy. Another great aspect is being able to tag managers in these shout-outs and the ability for them to boost and award points to recognitions. It adds an extra layer of visibility and encourages everyone to stay engaged, knowing that their efforts are being noticed at all levels. Cons I do have some challenges with the User Interface. I find it a bit cumbersome to navigate, and it can be frustrating at times if a page reloads, or I accidentally close the create new recognition fly-out tab. It doesn't feel as intuitive or streamlined as it could be, which makes using it a little less enjoyable and I tend to wait until the end of the week to give shout outs, rather than individually throughout the week. Another issue I’ve encountered is being logged out frequently, which interrupts my workflow and leads to unnecessary delays. It would be much more convenient if I could stay logged in for a longer duration of time. Additionally, the recognition values our organization has put in place can be a bit confusing. I’ve noticed quite a bit of overlap between the different categories, which makes it difficult to determine which one best fits the recognition I’m giving. The lack of clear distinctions between them can lead to some uncertainty, and it would be helpful if these categories were more clearly defined or streamlined to reduce any confusion. It would definitely improve the experience if the system could make it easier to understand which value to use for each situation. Review Source LP Lindsay P.

March 20, 2025 5.0 I love that my company has this platform for us and that it is used as much as it is. Our company is global and to see the shout outs and recognition from everyone constantly makes me proud to work for such a great company. It adds to the culture companies strive for and I think more companies should use it. The platform is easy to use and the feed is like a social media feed that you scroll through to see the recognition. 10 out of 10! It enriches my experience as an employee! Pros I love seeing the shout outs from fellow employees from all over our entire company like a social media platform. You can scroll through tons of them and see the positivity and team work. It makes you feel proud of the company you work for! I think more companies should use Achievers and see how it really brings a global company together! Cons The only con is sometimes there are limited options to choose from on what you use can use your points towards. Review Source BS Bharath S. Network security engineer Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Effective and Efficient Recognition Platform" April 16, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with Achievers has been very positive. It's a valuable tool that has significantly improved employee engagement and recognition within our organization. Pros • The platform is very user-friendly and intuitive. • I appreciate the ability to easily recognize and reward my colleagues. • It has helped improve team morale and collaboration. • The mobile app makes it convenient to use on the go. • The customer support is excellent and very responsive. Cons • I wish there were more customization options for the rewards. Review Source AG Amanda G. Content Technology Developer Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Feels good to be seen!" April 1, 2025 5.0 Overall, I really like Achievers and am appreciative my company uses it as a way that makes me feel seen! It makes my day when I see I've been recognized, and naturally gives me a boost in my morale and productivity. The website itself is user-friendly, and as a remote worker, it has been a great way to connect and learn about everyone's accomplishments and celebrations. Pros Each recognition makes me feel valued and respected for the work that I do. I love that I have the freedom to pick how I would like to get rewarded, and how easy it is to instantly get a gift card with my saved points. Cons While I am very appreciative of any financial gifts, I do wish I could just link my bank account and get cash instead. I got excited one time I got 200 points for a big project, but found out that converts to only $2, which is not enough to buy anything. The excitement quickly wore off since it took several recognitions over the course of a year before I was able to reap any rewards. I also wish Amazon gift cards did not cost extra, as that would have been my first choice. Review Source JP Jan P. Software Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Company Recognition Tool" March 13, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Achievers is that it is helpful for establishing a more cohesive company culture where employees recognize one another and feel valued for their contributions. Pros I like the ability to recognize coworkers through multiple different platforms (website, Teams, etc). I also like the ability to redeem your reward points for actual gift cards, merchandise, etc. I think the ability to share your recognition with others and send a copy to their manager is especially nice. Cons I don't like how we don't have the ability to send each other recognition with points. I think it reduces the incentive for employees to recognize one another. Review Source JL Joana L. RN CM Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Happy Achievers user." March 20, 2025 5.0 I had a very good experience with Achievers. Pros The fact that I can recognize my fellow coworkers and receive kudos points. Kudos points are redeemable by gift cards like Amazon. Amazon cards that I am able to enter in my Amazon account. Cons Last year I placed an order for a headset that I really wanted from Best Buy. The headset was not available and I had to get a gift card and then purchase the headset with the gift-card Review Source GR Gerniera R. Exectutive Assistant Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My go-to place." June 25, 2025 4.0 Overall experience is good. I like to shop with achievers when possible. The concierge service is a nice touch when looking for items that are not listed. Pros There are so many merchants to choose from. Items are quality and lots of name brands. I especially like the Amtrack tickets. Cons Hard to use reload card and I always have a difficult time with the technological art. Returns are tricky. Review Source JL Jacqueline L.

I enjoy getting recognized. Pros I love this program because it keeps me engaged. I love being able to give my coworkers props for doing a great job. I enjoy being recognized for my hard work and my birthday. Cons I dislike not having notifications via email or phone. Maybe I just need to double check my settings and inbox.
