" February 5, 2026 5.0 It's been great, it's very automated and fun (I like the confetti splash when I send a reward). I use it on both ends, giving and receiving, on the receiving end there are so many gift card options which is very nice. Pros It's super easy to use to reward and praise my colleagues and associates for a job well done. Years ago before Nectar the process to give a "spot bonus" or recognition was manual and archaic, but with Nectar it's instant, and there's lots of gift card choices. Cons It's a minor thing, but the points and dollars are not a 1 for 1, it's 1000 points equals $100 dollars, so sometimes it's hard to remember that and remember what I'm actually giving.

" April 15, 2026 5.0 As an educator, our school uses Nectar as a recognition platform, where we can recognize each others accomplishments and hard work. Pros What I like most about Nectar is getting the employee recognition that we may not regularly receive verbally. I also very much enjoy that we accumulate points that we can then turn in for gift cards for personal use. Cons What I like least about Nectar is that it takes a lot of recognition to accumulate a good amount of points to turn in for a gift card. Review Source LK Lucas K.

Pros Generates Employee engagement and provides employees with rewards they can choose themselves and will actually use. Cons I have no issues with Nectar in its current form. Only issue I have ever experienced was due to usernames/passwords not working and I'm not sure if that was a Nectar issue or an issue within our office. Review Source TR Tonilynn R.

Everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable. Pros Employee recognition and rewards that our employees are able to redeem. Seeing everyone happy, makes me happy. Cons Nothing that I have found. I love everything about Nectar. All of the benefits are amazing for our team. Thank you. Review Source NR Natalie R. Customer Care representative Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great recognition program" November 28, 2025 5.0 It’s been an amazing experience this far. I wish my previous employers used nectar for recognition. I feel this helps to provide team members with the gift they want instead of incentives from leadership that they don’t really want. There’s also an amazing way to provide recognition to your peers that translate to an actual monetary value when provided with nectar. This is a well rounded program. Pros I like that you can shout out team members and convert your nectar to give an additional award of your choosing. The wide range of gift cards available to choose your prize is another great positive. You can also creat a collaborative environment and do challenges for the company or group. You can also elect to have points provided used for swag only. No keeping track of manual budget sheets and gifts. It’s automatic. Cons I don’t have a con that I can think of. My experience has been great and I have adapted to using nectar pretty well. Review Source AV Abigail V. Secondary Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nectar is a great way for me to show my gratitude to my coworkers" April 7, 2026 5.0 I love Nectar! It's a great platform to keep up with all the great things happening at my company, and I get to shoutout my coworkers! Pros I like being able to recognize my coworkers for their hard work, and get recognition for my own hard work. It's a plus that recognition comes with gift cards to redeem for wherever I want. My coworkers and I have improved team collaboration due to Nectar allowing us an official way to recognize each other. Cons Some of the gift cards expire after only 6 months. I don't think I've seen this apply to any of the gift cards for specific places, but the visa and mastercard gift cards do expire and they say that you can get a physical card, but I can't figure out quite how to do that.

I also like the way it has brought our team together. Cons Initially, it was the administration of users. However, that has been taken care of by integration with our payroll system. Alternatives considered [Bonusly](https://www.capterra.com/p/167338/Bonusly/) Reason for choosing Nectar Cost and flexibility of rewards. Also, it integrated easily with our payroll system.

It's easy to use and navigate. It helps keep employees engaged and promotes a positive, reinforcing environment without bogging down your workload. Pros I love that Nectar allows you to connect all your employees and support employment engagement throughout the entire organization. Employees can easily engage with each other and show support to each other on it. The incentives for discounts and rewards are amazing. Cons Personally, I think customer support takes too long to answer when you have questions or concerns. I would like to add a chat where you can receive real-time answers. Review Source Viet T.

Client Experience Specialist Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nectar: A Great Application to Receive and Offer Recognition in Your Organization" April 3, 2026 5.0 I've received recognition from my peers and superiors through Nectar and it has always been meaningful. Beyond the recognition alone, I am able to redeem gift cards through the points awarded to me through the shoutouts I receive. Pros Nectar is a great way to recognize your peers and subordinates for their great work and going above and beyond. The selection of rewards available is wide ranging and it makes receiving recognition even more impactful as you can get what you're needing or wanting through the rewards available such as gift cards or PayPal deposits. Cons There really isn't much to like about Nectar. I wouldn't really be able to offer any ways to improve Nectar either as they have done a great job with the UI and reward selection.

Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An Easy and Effective Way to Build a Culture of Recognition" April 8, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Nectar has been very positive. It has made it easier to recognize colleagues and foster a culture of appreciation. The platform has improved team engagement and created more opportunities for positive feedback. Pros What I like most about Nectar is how easy it is to consistently recognize and celebrate team members. The platform is very user-friendly, and the peer recognition feature helps build a positive work culture. I especially appreciate the ability to tie recognition to company values, which makes feedback feel more meaningful rather than generic. It has also helped improve engagement and morale across the team. Cons I don’t have any major complaints about Nectar. If anything, there may be minor opportunities for additional customization or expanded reward options, but overall, the platform works very well for our needs. Review Source Maria C. Owner-Executive Clinical Director Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nectar was our best choice!!" June 15, 2025 5.0 Everyone at Nectar has been amazing to work with. The set was easy and we have had a lot of fun with the platform! Pros I love how easy Nectar is to use. No need to send new team members a bunch of trainings about it. Also love how individualized the platform is! Cons Nectar doesn't cost much but my team loves using it so we do spend a good amount of money on rewards and challenges. That's a good and bad thing but it's up to us if we want to change this :) Alternatives considered [Paylocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/86714/WebPay/) Reason for choosing Nectar Cheap, easy to set up, customizable, fun, and their team members are great to work with.

Super easy to use and Fun to give nectar! Plus seeing others that give and receive is awesome! A very unique way to recognize all kinds of efforts, events, and even a birthday or work anniversary. Pros Truly enjoy recognizing employees and co-workers and love seeing the pics and updates from those that are located elsewhere in our company. Super easy to use! Cons Would love to have an app for use on my phone. I still use it on my phone though, so not a huge deal. Review Source Victoria S. Service Manager Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy, Meaningful Platform " December 19, 2025 5.0 Extremely positive! As stated above, there was no learning curve, and I love scrolling through the main feed to see everyone's accomplishments. Pros It is so easy to use! I had no issue using the platform once it was introduced to our company. I love how easily I can recognize coworkers in a meaningful, public manner. Cons The only area that I feel could be improved is the employee search feature when giving out an award. If I am trying to give points to Jane Doe, it may or may not populate with @ja, @jane, @janedo, etc. Review Source EL Erica L. Training Director Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nectar Creates a Positive Company Culture " January 2, 2026 5.0 I have found it to be an excellent way to share positive feedback with our team members for many different things - them going above & beyond, a job well done, etc. Pros The ability to give and receive public feedback. And the ability to help my peers earn monetary rewards. I think it's contributed to an overall positive culture at GCON. Cons I'm not sure if it's a nectar thing or a company thing, but we have to jump through hoops to login. It feels like a lot. Review Source TG Tiffany G.

It’s helped keep morale high and brought more visibility to the great work happening across the organization. Pros Nectar makes it simple to shout out colleagues and show appreciation. We work hard and support each other, and Nectar helps us highlight those moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. It helps strengthens our sense of community. Being able to recognize coworkers in real time helps keep morale high and reinforces the collaborative spirit we value. Cons While the platform works well, the mobile experience could be more intuitive and faster, especially for staff who mostly use their phones during the workday. Review Source AB Ashley B. Behavior Consultant Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great way to build team morale and rapport!" June 6, 2025 5.0 Nectar is another way to give employees immediate recognition for a job well done. It's helping to build morale and teaches our team members and supervisors to look for the positives in others and point them out. Everyone wants to be told they are good at something and this makes it fun and less awkward. It's also motivating. It's a great way to give a bit of a performance based raise to individuals and allow them to pick what it goes toward. I am a user of Nectar and not in administration so I don't have the ability to control all the features we are using in our company, but what I have seen, I love! Pros My team loves this program! It's a great way to reward employees in the moment for a job well done. As a supervisor, I use Nectar every day and it's so easy to do. We love to use the gifs and pictures to make it fun. When we look back on the shoutouts we've done, it's filled with inside jokes that make work more fun. There are so many choices for gift card redemptions that there is something for everyone. All my team members get so excited about giving out their points each month and saving them up to redeem it for something they want. It's really helped my team build a good morale and rapport with each other! Cons Sometimes it does glitch and you have to refresh or log out and wait a bit to send a shoutout. This mostly happens with the gifs. Review Source RA Raquel A. Executive Administrator Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nectar and how it has positively impacted our team!" June 11, 2025 5.0 We enjoy Nectar so much! It has helped our team members to recognize each other and to interact with our clients in new, fun ways. Some of our team members have said it is like having our private social media with prizes. Pros How interactive it is for our whole team. We love that everyone can give points and shout-outs to one another. People have been finding fun ways to include Gifs and photos to make things fun. Cons I had a hard time with the integration to Paylocity and some inconsistencies that it caused. We ended up taking it off and not utilizing it. Review Source ES Emmaline S. Purchaser Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nectar use through work" May 11, 2026 5.0 overall, everything has been great - no real negatives and I enjoy looking at the site often for shout outs and gift cards to use my points for. Pros Easy to use, fun to read shout outs about others from different teammates and receiving gift cards for things like our hazard ids is a great incentive. Cons I would love more variety of gift cards and ways to use the points, everything else is great though honestly.

It took a while to accumulate but it ended up being worth it Pros Interacting with co workers was pretty cool. There were also a lot of options for things to redeem on amazon Cons not enough points to give out. It felt pointless to only give out anything less than 10 points, and because we were only allowed 50 points, I ran out pretty quick before the end of the month Review Source JC Jaylynn C. Master Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Spreading Positivity One Nectar Point at a Time!" May 11, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Nectar has been amazing! It creates such a fun and positive way to recognize teammates, celebrate hard work, and make everyone feel appreciated for going above and beyond. Pros Nectar is seriously one of my favorite products to use! I love being able to hype up my teammates, celebrate their wins, and recognize all the amazing things they do every day. Whether someone goes above and beyond, jumps in to help, or simply makes the workday better, Nectar makes it easy to give them the shoutout they deserve. Cons Honestly, if I had unlimited points, I’d probably spend all day posting because there are SO many people worth recognizing! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Multiproduct Specialist Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use recognition tool" April 6, 2026 5.0 Pros I love how easy it is to recognize other team members for their hard work and their help! To me, it's very user friendly in giving and redeeming points. It also helps as a morale booster and an extra incentive when the points are given & received. Cons My only complaint would be in how sometimes you can get locked out if you try to redeem points towards the end of the month. A cap level unknown to us hits and those who didn't redeem at the beginning have to wait for the next month. Review Source AS Andrew S. Product Specialist Furniture Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nectar Incentivizes Teamwork" September 27, 2025 5.0 I use Nectar weekly to recognize my coworkers for their hard work, their help, innovative thinking and problem solving. I feel that Nectar drives team members to collaborate and inspires companies by providing such good rewards to cash in on. Pros Nectar has perfected the art of thanking your coworkers. In a business setting, it can often be hard to know how to acknowledge your colleagues in a way they’ll appreciate. Nectar leaves the reward up to the recipient. Cons Nectar frequently logs me out of my work-issued tablet and personal cellphone, which is a small complaint. I don’t have any issues with Nectar as a tool or product.
