### "Full features and easy to use, I can't believe Applauz is free"

May 8, 2018

5.0

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.

### "Keeping the drive going!"

September 17, 2024

5.0

It has been good, but honestly I haven't utilized it as much as I should be!

It is an "extra" incentive for the reps to keep involved with associates and reps.

### "Fun to use, but didn't find it to be overly useful for us!"

June 13, 2018

3.0

It gave us interesting ideas, we enjoyed using the software just didn't really fit with out operations.

Pros

It's got an excellent user interface and UX design, so it's super easy to jump right in and start using Applauz for your employee recognition programs.

Cons

It's not a knock on the software, but I just didn't find it brought that much value to us as an organization. We went back to our own "old-school" methods of recognizing our employees!

September 24, 2024

I love the motivation it provides to earn points while being effective and proactive @ work. It's an effective tool to keep us in "touch" especially when we're all in different locations. Putting a face to that voice we have constant interactions daily.

Pros

I love how it provides us everyday employees the opportunity to openly motivate each other. To show appreciation and have a sense of community in the workplace.

Cons

Honestly there isn't anything not to like about Applauz Recognition.

Love it, it is a good website for the company

Pros

I like that that it has a wide range of options we can purchase and be updated on the newsfeed.

Cons

I would like to be able trade in points for badges to get attendance points removed or be able to receive more badges for other things like we get with points or have the option to get badges instead of points.

### "Recommended"

October 9, 2024

5.0

Pros

its focus on creating a culture of appreciation within teams. The platform makes it super easy to recognize and celebrate achievements, both big and small, which fosters a positive and motivating work environment.

Cons

is that the customization options for rewards could be a bit more flexible. While the platform offers great features for recognizing achievements, I think expanding the variety of rewards or allowing for more personalization in the recognition process would enhance the experience even further.

### "Easy incentives for good work"

September 25, 2024

5.0

Applauz is great because it allows the company to constantly offer incentives for good work without the hassle of having to come up with a plan for bonuses etc. Ive gotten a bunch of free meals just for doing work that I was already going to do anyway. Definitely encourages me to do extra whenever I can for the added incentive.

Pros

Allows for extra incentives for work we are already doing.

Cons

I haven't quite figured out the value changes between tiers for the gift card redemptions.
