We are working on obtaining greater executive team adoption to make our team's experience with the platform even more useful. Pros Ease of use, ability to give recognition and rewards to team Cons while performance and 1:1s are useful, we wish the product also offered performance reviews Alternatives considered [Lattice](https://www.capterra.com/p/151676/Lattice/) Reason for choosing Motivosity Ease of use. Recommendation by outside coach. Review Source RG Rachael G. Billing and Project Administrator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motovosity for the win!" February 23, 2026 5.0 I love being able to interact and praise coworkers. Especially if they are not directly in my office. It's a wonderful tool to help keep everyone connected on what is happening in the company, who does what, who is moving up, who learned what. What teams and entities are up too. etc. Pros The ability to praise coworkers work ethic, progress, accomplishments, awards or for simply learning something new. Cons I can't say that there is anything that I dislike about Motivosity. If I absolutely had to list something I would say not being able to view profile pics in a larger view. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Rachael, thank you! Praising coworkers for the big wins and the small moments is what it's all about. Love seeing that come through for your team. JM Jarel M. People Operations Generalist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Jarel Moore" February 23, 2026 2.0 When its works, its great. But its hard to depend on software I'm continuously having to email support about. Pros I like the idea of using a social media type platform for employee engagement. I also like how knowledgeable our account rep is about the SaaS the functionality. Cons Could be on the client side but a lot of the features seem to not work properly, and it takes a while for the support team to make fixes. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Jarel, we appreciate you taking the time to share this. The experience you're describing isn't what we want for any customer, and we'd love the chance to better understand your concerns. Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager so we can help get things working the way they should. HB Holly B. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "5th grade teacher💓" February 23, 2026 5.0 I use it all the time to say a quick thank you to my colleagues. It helps us feel more connected as a school and staff! Pros I appreciate being able to easily give a shout out to someone, no matter their location in our building. It really changes the way people act toward one another in the most positive way. Positivity has always been my approach in life and this easily facilitates that in the work place! Cons Nothing. It’s great….I really wouldn’t change a thing! I love that we can look up by school, by state, by person. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Holly, this is exactly what we hope for. Positivity at work is contagious, and it sounds like you're a big part of why your school feels that way. Thanks for sharing! VR Verified Reviewer Associate Dean Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Motivosity is a great way to recognize your peers. " January 4, 2026 5.0 I love the reminders, the ability to recognize anyone in my organization and the data it provides when I review who I recognized and how long ago. I love it! Pros I absolutely love the ability to recognize my peers across a very large matrix organization using Motivosity. Cons Initially, it was challenging to understand each function because I am not an intuitive tech user, but I was able to figure it out quickly. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Thank you for the 10/10! We're so glad to hear Motivosity is helping your large team feel even more connected. SS Stephanie S. Supervisor Farming Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Insightful " September 23, 2025 5.0 Great wonderful definitely will continue to use and understand very much like Facebook and other social medias Pros That we can communicate with other employees about the work and we also get other useful information Cons I don’t like that I’m a supervisor of employees and can’t give my team Motivosity money I only get allowed 5 Review Source Response from Motivosity September 24, 2025 Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re glad Motivosity helps with communication and useful updates, and we’ll keep your feedback in mind. VR Verified Reviewer Functional Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for Recognizing Team Members" March 19, 2026 5.0 Pros Motivosity is a fun way to recognize employees and coworkers. It's easy to set up and offers great rewards. It helped build a more collaborative and grateful team environment. Cons My organization is quite large with thousands of employees. I often saw recognitions and birthdays for people I had never met. It would have been nice to have a special team or department focused setting to make focusing on my own team easier. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Thanks for sharing this! A more collaborative, grateful team environment is exactly what we hope for. We hear you on the size piece too. Recognition in a 10,000-person org looks different than a 50-person one, and finding ways to make it feel closer to home is something we're always thinking about. MG Maria G. Lead Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use it very often." October 31, 2025 5.0 I like to connect with my colleagues, and it's also a good opportunity to remember birthdays, anniversaries and give find information regarding their jobs. Pros Platform works very good and interface is very nice. It is easy to connect with people and navigate. Cons I noticed that my password doesn't work all the times even when it's not expired so I always use the one-time code to login. Review Source Response from Motivosity May 14, 2026 Maria, thanks for sharing! Connecting with colleagues and catching those birthday and anniversary moments is exactly what we hope for. We'll flag the password issue with our team so they can take a look. JM Jay M. CIO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "5+ years and still loving it." September 24, 2025 5.0 We have been using motiviosity for at least 5 years now. Every year we evaluate if we will continue and the answer is always yes. It allows that team and individual recognition by all staff, not just managers. Helps our staff to remain connected to other departments and their efforts/accomplishments Pros Ease of use is probably the best feature of motivosity. It allows all our employees to participate in team recognition. Cons I wish I could give motivosity bucks when commenting on a post privately. From an admin side it is hard, or used to be, to reset the funding password to make changes to the funding account. Review Source Response from Motivosity September 26, 2025 Thanks for your thoughtful review! We’re glad Motivosity makes recognition easy and helps your team stay connected year after year. PK Peter K. Program Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great feature presented in a simple to use way" October 2, 2025 5.0 I love it, looks great, easy to use, and easy to integrate with other apps, like Slack. We love using it to communicate each others achievements. Pros I love that it's simple and entertaining to use! Motivosity represents a simple feature in a not overcomplicated shell. Love that you can recognise more than one person at the time, an entire team, and not only with money, because that's not all that matters. I love the public and private mode too! Cons Recognition categories are not always applicable, but luckily you don't have to use them every time. Review Source Response from Motivosity October 23, 2025 Thanks for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you find Motivosity simple, fun, and a great way to celebrate team achievements. VC Victoria C. HR Project Manager Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Motivated for Motivosity " August 28, 2025 5.0 From the very beginning, I've worked with amazing MV team members on every stage of implementation, and the small stuff in between. My company jumped into MV, and never looked back! Almost a year later, and our engagement is still soaring, and we are excited to add more and more perks to our MV page as they are offered. Pros Its hard to choose! I would have to say, I love the 'peer to peer' aspect of Motivosity. Prior to using Motivosity, shoutouts were mostly given from management and now our Motivosity page is filled with peer to peer recognition from employees across all departments. Its so nice to have a plaform that brings a sense of togetherness and closeness to a fully remote team. Cons Whats not to love! There honestly is not a feature that we don't like. MV has some offered features such as wellness programs that we have chosen to wait on for now, but that's only so we have opportunity for the platform to grow more in the future. Review Source CP Chesca P. EA Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User Friendly/Employee engagement" July 8, 2025 5.0 Motivosity seems like a great tool for organizations wanting to build a more connected and appreciative work environment. However, businesses should weigh the cost against the value it adds, especially in terms of customization and support. Pros The ability to recognize employees' achievements through peer-to-peer recognition. This builds a positive work culture and promotes a sense of appreciation among team members. Cons There’s a concern that over-reliance on recognition systems like Motivosity could lead to a "trophy culture", where employees are more focused on receiving recognition for every small task, rather than doing the hard work that drives meaningful outcomes. This can dilute the impact of genuine recognition, making it feel less authentic or meaningful over time. Review Source LP Logan P. Payroll Practitioner Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic Employee Recognition Tool" August 27, 2025 5.0 It has been a great tool for employee engagement and recognition, and it has become a big part of our company culture. It's also been a great way to reward fellow coworkers and employees. Pros It's easy to use and acts as a social media platform for the company, which is more secure and gives team members a chance to interact more with each other outside of their main workflow. Cons I'd like to see a few more options for ways employees can interact with each other using the platform, outside of sending appreciations. Review Source AH Al H. Engineering Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "celebration" August 12, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Motivosity was positive. It’s a great platform for promoting recognition, boosting team morale, and improving engagement. The interface is user-friendly, and it made giving and receiving appreciation easy and enjoyable. Pros What I liked most about Motivosity is how it fosters a positive work culture by making it easy to recognize and appreciate team members. It encourages regular peer-to-peer recognition, which boosts morale and helps build stronger team connections. Cons What I liked least about Motivosity was the limited customization options for recognition categories. It would be helpful to tailor them more closely to our team’s unique goals and culture. Review Source MD Madison D. Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One stop employee recognition program" August 27, 2025 5.0 Very user friendly and easy to set up and use daily. No drawbacks and all plusses as far as we know. Pros The custom ways employees can recognize their peers. I really appreciate how quickly employees can use it. Cons I didn't find any drawbacks to using it and our employees used it natively almost right off the bat. Review Source SH Steven H. Executive Vice President Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Recognition Made Fun and Meaningful" August 27, 2025 5.0 Motivosity has been a great addition to our workplace. It’s easy to use, encourages positivity, and helps reinforce a culture of appreciation. While there’s room for improvement in analytics and customization, the overall impact has been very positive. Pros Motivosity makes it incredibly easy to recognize and appreciate team members in real time. The social-style feed keeps engagement high, and I love how recognition can be tied to company values. It’s intuitive, fun, and genuinely helps build a more connected and positive workplace culture. Cons The reporting features could be more robust—especially when trying to analyze long-term engagement trends. Also, the interface can feel a bit overwhelming for new users, and more customization options for notifications would be helpful. Review Source MR Melanie R. Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Appreciation Approved" August 13, 2025 5.0 Overall it has been a great experience and it keeps me in touch with other employees. I love to see how other people are reacting to my posts. Pros It is a easy way to give appreciation and the rewards are awesome. Its easy to use and the setup is also smooth Cons It would be best if we could post videos and also send appreciation videos. Sometimes is hard to navigate the history of what you have posted. Review Source Response from Motivosity August 14, 2025 Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you find it easy to give appreciation, enjoy the rewards, and stay connected with your team. Great news—we’ve recently added more video support for sharing moments, and you can view all your sent and received appreciations anytime in the Profile tab. We appreciate your feedback and love having you in the Motivosity community! MM Michael M. COO Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Way to Incentivize Employees" August 27, 2025 5.0 We have been using Motivosity for several years and really like the overall experience. The support is fantastic and it is so easy to provide a nice benefit to the company. There are also some nice and easy ways to cash in on the benefits provided to employees. Pros We love helping our employees connect and recognize their accomplishments. It's so easy to reward them for their accomplishments and get them excited for events and activities. Cons We have found that we often get stuck in a rut and forget to engage in the platform. Many employees reward the same people month over month. Review Source MB Marchelle B. CMA Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motivosity Is Great " September 18, 2025 5.0 Awesome, Love rewarding my coworkers and I love the Motivosity dollars. Great tool to use to lift others up. Pros Rewards are great. I received a debit card and can use it for outside purchases. It is a fun card with the snow man on it. Cons Sometimes, I feel I receive too many Email Notifications. Maybe just send notifications and not I have more Motivosity dollars every month. Review Source Response from Motivosity September 22, 2025 Thanks for the review! We are happy to hear you use Motivosity to lift others up. KS Kelsey S. HR Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Recognition made easy!" June 17, 2025 5.0 I love it and would recommend it to anyone! It has made my job a lot easier as the HR Manager. Our recognition scores have gone up a ton since getting Motivosity. Pros Makes recognition super convenient and easy! I love that team members can recognize each other and use their money towards whatever. Cons I wish there was a way to deactivate an employee and still allow them access to spend their money without being able to post anything. (This happens when someone is terminated or quits) Review Source HR Holly R.
