Pros One of the reasons why our company started using motivosity is for connecting with employees and sharing some thoughts on improving our culture and for these reasons we found the perfect tool called motivosity. It's easy to use with great GUI it also increases collaboration between team members. Cons The only drawback of using motivosity was that it takes too much time for its implementation. other than that everything is great. Switched from [Kudos](https://www.capterra.com/p/140423/Kudos/)[Basecamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/56808/Basecamp/)[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) we were previously using basecamp as our team collaboration tool but then we shifted to kudos and then motivosity.

" June 11, 2021 5.0 Pros Working from home with a team across the country can be hard to show recognition and gratitude. Motivosity provides that in a simple and visual way. Cons Nothing truly. It is easy to use and does not take time out of my day. Review Source Response from Motivosity June 15, 2021 Hi Kimberly and thank you so much for your review! We're so happy to hear what a positive resource Motivosity is for you and your team, especially when working remotely! KT Kathy T. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Boosts Positive Atmosphere Without The Obnoxious Emails " November 18, 2019 4.0 Our school started using Motivosity to increase morale among the staff. I definitely think that that was accomplished within the population that was active. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. I felt very appreciated because I would get recognized for little things that I don't usually get recognized for because it's behind-the-scenes and it made me feel seen by my coworkers who just didn't know. I also think it was a great experience for me because it helped me reach out more to my coworkers and actually allowed me to thank them properly for what they do. It allowed me to help increase the positive atmoshpere in my environment. Pros I liked that it was a platform where you could thank and recognize your coworkers without worrying about being obnoxious. I always want to recognize people for every little thing (because the little things matter) but I worry about flooding others' email boxes. With Motivosity, I am able to do that because other people don't see it until they log on. They don't get constant messages of me recognizing my coworkers, but they also get to see that my coworkers were recognized when they log on and can then acknowledge it themselves. And when I am posting a lot and feel like I am being a little obnoxious, I also have the option to make my posts private as well. This was also a great place to posts little wins and highlights of my own classroom as well. Little things happen on campus every day and should be shared, but as I said before, we worry about flooded emails. This was a great place to collect all those highlights and catch up on anything missed whenever you logged on, whether it was daily, weekly, etc. I also liked the competition aspect of it. The points associated with the software was a great motivator for me personally, not so much competing with my coworkers, but reminding myself to take time out to appreciate my coworkers whenever I could. Cons The only thing that I had an issue with in the beginning was that you could not post a photo on the mobile app. They have since added that feature, so I am pretty content with the software.

Software Engineering Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motivosity is a great way to give immediate positive feedback" October 31, 2019 5.0 As an individual contributor, giving a quick thanks is wonderful to reinforce behaviors and encourage doing that behavior again. As a manager, I can share positive feedback to many people both on or off my team for things that I notice. This decentralizes the positive feedback and reinforcing behaviors and allows everyone to participate. I love how all recognition is immediate with no oversight. Pros Every employee is given a dollar amount every month that they give to someone else to recognize extra efforts. The dollar amounts are relative to the company, but everyone receives the same amount. So if you give someone your full amount for the month, that sends a big message as to the importance of the recognition. Anyone can give to anyone else, and can do it immediately instead of going through an approval process. Cons Money to give used to expire every month in an effort to encourage giving. However, that is very limiting. Many people want to save up and give a bigger amount for extraordinary help from someone else. That expiration date has now been extended to three months, which helps. I think not having the money expire but instead just have reminders to give allows ultimate flexibility. I haven't found people who never give, but I have had people lose their giving money because an arbitrary amount of time has elapsed. What I don't like most is by default having everyone see the positive feedback someone else gets. I ALWAYS make my giving private so I don't have someone feeling bad because they saw someone else recognized for doing good and why didn't they get recognized for doing good as well (I did just as much as they did!) causing the feedback to backfire in its intent. So please turn off public feedback by default and make it private. Review Source Response from Motivosity November 6, 2019 Thanks for the review Shawn. Addressing a couple items you mentioned... The expiration of the giving money is really a way to prompt people to use it and to share their appreciation more frequently (frequency is a key driver delivering impact when it comes to recognition). As for the public recognition, studies show that there is power behind making it public. As you stated, you can always mark it private for those times that you want to not have it shared with others. Again, thanks for writing the review. We appreciate Ivanti as a great Motivosity customer.

It is so easy to use, and their Knowledge Base is so comprehensive that implementation was a breeze. Also, their Account Executive and the Sales Reps. provided close guidance during the entire process. In less than 8 hrs we had 80% of the company on board, and the rest was complete shortly after, due to the different work shifts. Our Team loves it, and the Management team couldn't be happier! Pros We are currently using the connect and recognize modules. It has been of great help to have a centralized space for people to connect with each other in the midst of the pandemic. Morale boosters are so needed, and Motivosity provides a great platform for peers and supervisors to recognize their own team members and at all levels of the organization. Cons We are exploring upgrading to add the 1:1 and annual review modules, and that could be improved. The obvious changes are in their roadmap but won't be ready until the second half of the year. Once that is done, the capabilities of Motivosity will be even more robust.

Thumbs up for it. Pros It's a great employee engagement & recognition software that made our team happy at workplace. Motivosity is the software that help us in different ways like it allows recognition Between our teammates & manager, connection of employees to each other etc. Personally, it helped me to express my feelings freely with no hesitation. Cons Truly i didn’t get anything that i will is negative. It has given us the new thinking of life.

Communications Team Lead Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I'm a big fan!" April 21, 2022 5.0 Pros I have loved using motivosity to engage with my employees! It's a great opportunity to recognize them and it's something they really love as well! Cons I wish there was a way to have my team (I'm one out of 5 teams, plus leadership, plus management) in their own channel on motivosity. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Technical Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Allows for easy recognition of others for going above and beyond." June 4, 2021 5.0 Pros Motivosity is an easy way to say thanks but with a twist. The ability to provide recognition, with a monetary value, makes it worth every penny. The ability to say "I see you went above and beyond, and I want to thank you with $5 or whatever" seems silly at first, but the money adds up. And can be used for a number of things. Cons The only shortcoming I see is lack of gift card options - there are some I'd like to see added that I personally use. Not sure if this is limited by motivosity or my company (as I am not an admin). I also don't use the org charts, surveys, or other functions. Review Source Response from Motivosity June 8, 2021 Hello and thank you so much for your review and feedback. We're so glad you enjoy the dollar for dollar giving, and we look forward to improving gift card options here in the near future so keep and eye out for that! Scott P. Core Network Engineer Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A tool that continues to be useful" November 30, 2018 5.0 Despite the one annoyance I mentioned above, I heartily recommend using Motivosity. It makes it easy to express gratitude, and offers one more meaningful way to interact with my co-workers. Pros Motivosity allows the people in my department to give and receive thanks/recognition for individual and group contributions. It's a versatile tool. I like how my organization has been able to tweak the user interface so that we can offer kudos according to our six company values (Service, Professionalism, Leadership, Innovation, Community, and Excellence). I like the Badges capability, although we don't use it as much as we could. The Interests and Personality widgets add a even more usefulness. I also appreciate the option to send the recognition in a public or private message. Cons I hate popups with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. So when I sign in and a popup invades a big chunk in the center of my screen, asking about whether I've received recognition for my work in the past few days, it's not a positive thing. I'm not against filling out a brief survey for that purpose, but that delivery method irks me. It's probably something that can be adjusted by the person(s) in my department who manage the user interface.

September 25, 2019 5.0 Overall, this is a really sound product. It offers just enough customization and is really easy to use. I recommend motivosity to a lot of employers I interact with. Pros I really enjoy the ability to show appreciation to a coworkers via motivosity. I love that I can make my appreciation public or private. I like how I can link the appreciation to a specific company value. I think the monthly and yearly leaderboard is a fun feature. Also like that I can thank a group of people simultaneously. Cons I would like to have some core teams created in motivosity. For example the business development team - I could have them preloaded into my motivosity account and then pull them up as a group rather than pulling them in one by one. Additionally, the leaderboard seems to lag when it updates fairly significantly (that feels like something they could easily fix internally). Review Source MS Michael S. Curriculum & Instructional Design Manager Public Safety Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motivosity helps you recognize others in an easy, but meaningful way" December 2, 2021 4.0 Easy and fun to use. Pros I like that Motivosity allows you to recognize people in an easy, but meaningful way. It's not about the money, but having a way to send a little something to peers adds a little punch to recognition feedback. Because the platform is specifically designed for this purpose, it is never awkward to send a little thank you, even for the small things that can easily be forgotten. Cons For some reason, my saved preference to see my extended team gets reset periodically. It is easy to change back when this happens, but it can be just a little annoying. Review Source SR Scott R. Operations Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Motivosity is a great to create a culture of gratitude! " January 3, 2022 5.0 Overall, this has been a great tool, and probably one of my personal favorite softwares I've ever used. Pros I really like that you can set budgets of giving money and disperse "thank you"s throughout the organization. Being a remote company, it's essential to be creative in how you create a team environment and motivosity is my #1 tool for doing that. Cons The only complaint I have is an inconsequential complaint. I really just don't like the login screen. Before a recent update it was a simple login that made it a little easier to login. Now there's a 2 step screen which seems a little redundant to me. My username and password is saved, but with the new UI I have to type in my email address to call my password. In my opinion that's a little thing and really just boils down to my personal preference for logging in. Other than that there's really not anything negative I can say about the product.

June 1, 2022 5.0 Pros Motivosity makes giving your peers and direct reports an impactful thank you impossibly easy! Cons There are a lot of extra features that I didn't even know existed Review Source CM Carson M. HR Operations Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Creating a culture of support and recognition" November 30, 2023 5.0 I've had a great experience using motivosity, the user interface is fun and easy to navigate. As an administrator it's easy to manage my team and different awards. Pros Motivosity brings our team together. Many of our team members work remotely and it's often difficult to interact with everyone. With Motivosity there are daily notifications of someone being recognized for doing great work. It not only motivates the employee that received the recognition, but it's fun for the whole team to see what they did and share in the positive motivation. Plus, the "ThanksMatters" card is super easy to use and makes spending the money you've been recognized with a walk in the park. Our team is better supported because of Motivosity. Cons I don't have any complaints about Motivosity. Review Source TV Tami V. Owner and Treasurer Security and Investigations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great program!" March 4, 2024 4.0 I love being able to acknowledge all employees within the company, whether it's by giving them a verbal kudo for all other employees to see and/or by giving them a little spiff bonus to show that we appreciate their efforts! Pros I love the peer-to-peer acknowledgement and it allows upper management to be able to give kudos to those they may not see on a regular basis! Cons I can't say that I've experience any negative situations from using Motivosity! Review Source AS Alexis S. Case Advisor Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "love it" June 9, 2022 5.0 No complaints at all! I think its great Pros I love being able to give my employees and colleagues the recognition they deserve. A thank you or great job just doesn't get my point across on how great they are. Motivosity helps with that a lot Cons I don't know if this is a feature already or not since im not an administrator. But I really think admins of the software should be able to see patterns in employees recognitions so the admins can give them feedback to them as some supervisors do pick favorites and not recognize everyone and the employees do catch on when they are not being recognized by specific supervisors and it causes a drift between everyone. Review Source BP Brett P. Branch Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review on Motivosity" April 29, 2024 5.0 Pros The employee recognition and the Myers Briggs personality test. Cons Maybe breaking down more categories under the other information section. Review Source MB Michael B. Director of Operations Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to set up and adopt" November 14, 2023 5.0 Pros The idea of being able to recognize a co-worker's contribution with a small monetary token is so simple, everyone picks up on it instantly. As an employee accumulates funds, they can simply use a debit card to access the funds. No points to convert, odd catalogs to make "purchases" from, and the employee gets to spend the funds on what they want. Cons Annual cost is quite stiff for a medium sized firm. After seven years' use, we will be reevaluating Motivosity in our next total compensation review. Review Source Jonathan S. Senior Director, International Technical Engineering Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Motivosity" September 11, 2018 5.0 Pros Motivosity has brought a wealth of benefits to my team and, I feel, the company as a whole. Being able to recognise team members with a dollar here and there is fun and rewarding for everyone. Being able to recognise individual contributors from other teams and have the rest of the company see the great results achievable through greater collaboration shift everything up a gear. Having the ability to see staff as people rather than just a name in an address book also builds bridges, especially in a global organisation where you might otherwise never see a person's face or ever get to find out that you share similar interests and goals. Motivosity does a great gap of bridging the void that existed between company newsletters and social networks. The integration with third party applications has facilitated rewarding initiatives surrounding health and well-being and the multitude of options for 'cashing out' (store cards, pre-paid credit cards, charities) is welcomed by everyone. The interface is intuitive, interesting to explore, and has always been available, fast and aesthetically pleasing. Cons It's hard to think of any negative points surrounding Motivosity - it has filled a gap and, as such, has only brought benefits. Review Source MS Mohamed S. Social media manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Motivosity, une plateforme innovante pour renforcer l'engagement des employés" February 17, 2023 5.0 Mon expérience avec Motivosité a été très positive. J'ai été impressionné par la facilité d'utilisation de l'interface, qui m'a permis de reconnaître facilement mes collègues et de participer aux initiatives d'engagement de l'entreprise. J'ai également apprécié la personnalisation des options de reconnaissance et des récompenses, qui ont permis à l'entreprise de répondre à nos besoins individuels. Les rapports et analyses disponibles nous permettent également de suivre l'impact des programmes d'engagement sur la satisfaction des employés. Bien que l'interface d'administration puisse être complexe à prendre en main, les avantages d'utiliser la motivation pour renforcer l'engagement des employés valent bien le temps et l'effort. Pros \- Interface conviviale et facile à utiliser pour les employés et les responsables RH- Des fonctionnalités innovantes pour encourager l'engagement, la collaboration et la reconnaissance des employés- Possibilité de personnaliser les options de reconnaissance, les récompenses et les avantages pour répondre aux besoins de l'entreprise- Rapports et analyses détaillés pour suivre la satisfaction des employés et l'impact des programmes d'engagement Cons \- L'interface d'administration peut être complexe à prendre en main pour les responsables RH novices- Les coûts peuvent être élevés pour les entreprises de petite taille ou en démarrage Review Source Response from Motivosity February 21, 2023 Thank you so much for your review!

HR Generalist Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Superior Employee Recognition Software" November 7, 2022 5.0 Pros Our team loves Motivosity. We have been using Motivosity for over five years now and it has become essential within our company. It has enabled our team to feel appreciated, recognized, and rewarded regularly. Motivosity is smartly done and supported by an awesome team who continues to impress. Their passion is clear and they continue to shine. Cons The only con I have experienced is the introduction to ThanksMatters cards. Fraudulent charges are becoming more common, and from an admin side, accounting reconciliation is now showing discrepancies that did not exist prior to the introduction of the card. Review Source ML Melissa L. Faculty Supervisor E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Motivosity" March 29, 2021 5.0 I really enjoy Motivosity! Pros Motivosity is a great way for me to recognize my direct reports, my peers, and my leaders. It is easy to use and fun. Cons There are not many things I don't like about Motivosity, but something that is a bit of a hindrance is the login page. When I go to the website, I click on the Login link, but I am then sent to another page where I have to still click "login to Motivosity." So, it is several clicks to actually get logged in. This is a minor issue, but does take time. Review Source Response from Motivosity March 31, 2021 Hi Melissa, and thank you for your review and feedback! We're glad Motivosity has been a fun and easy tool to use, and we'll definitely be looking to make the login process less of a hassle LC Lisa C. Documentation Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Moto for Mayor!" April 20, 2017 4.0 I've loved using Motivosity to instantaneously show my appreciation to my coworkers, even for simple things. I also love receiving Moto bucks; it totally makes my day. Motivosity is one of the features about my company that I always talk up to friends and family. It's a really fun and smart service that I love. I find myself wishing I had everyone I know attached to my Motivosity account so I could send a dollar here or there to someone who did something nice. I find that I just go to Motivosity to only send, view, and cash out on rewards. The surveys don't really tell me anything and the leaderboards don't mean anything to me because I don't know how it's calculated. I just know you probably get points for sending and receiving, but for those of us who aren't manager and above and only get a certain amount to give, it's pretty limiting. A while ago I did notice a bunch of typos and grammar/spelling issues on your website, so I sent an email to some generic address I found on the website saying that someone in Marketing should probably fix the issues I found. Someone actually responded and I don't know if they fixed them, but the website does look much better than it did a year ago. Pros \- It truly is super motivating - easy to send and receive - gift cards come quickly Cons \- the UI is not very pretty - Sometimes I wish motivosity would "nudge" or remind you to think about someone who did something for you. I do a lot of last minute projects and most of the time, people are super generous and show their appreciation but sometimes I don't hear anything. I know it's a little entitled to expect moto bucks, but I know some departments in my company are notorious for not using moto bucks at all, which is a little discouraging. - the milestones and org chart are pretty lame. - there's really nothing to do of interest in motivosity except give money and cash out.

IT Assurance Senior Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Encourage Others and Boost Team Morale with Motivosity" June 30, 2020 5.0 I think Motivosity is allowing me to solve the business problem of not knowing your coworkers. I have found by being an active user of Motivosity that I know more about my coworkers and they know more about me. When I go to the office I know everyone and enjoy being at work. Pros On a day-to-day basis, people's actions (i.e., accomplishments, acts of kindness, hard work, etc.) often go unrecognized. Using Motivosity helps to encourage employees to recognize their coworkers. I feel by using Motivosity people are uplifted as they begin to realize people are actually noticing them. Furthermore, I feel it increase overall team morale and unity. Cons I think there needs to be some way to encourage users to more proactively use Motivosity without the incentive of earning money. I personally try to regift my gifted funds because I want to help drive the overall purpose of the software. However, I see so many users that log on the last day of the month and send out last minute Motivosity so the funds don't go to waste. I would rather see people recognizing others on a day-to-day basis without the expecation of making some extra money. Review Source KresLynn K.

The giving from function seems buggy as well as it sometimes won't let me give from my account when there is a balance.
