"Engaging recognition system that allows me to compliment my coworkers"
What do you like best about Nectar?

I really like that I can use Nectar to recognize my coworkers who I see doing a great job! I also appreciate that I get to receive shoutouts that tell me when others recognize my hard work. Nectar is easy to use, and fun to use. I use Nectar about once a week, and I even find myself trying to think of new things to recognize my coworkers for! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

I actually generally love nectar. I think my only gripe is that the gift cards you can receive expire at some point. I would prefer to get less of the money on the card and get a physical card. I'm not sure if this is my company's setup, but I can't seem to figure out how to redeem a gift card with a physical card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Employee Recognition with Shout-Outs, Points, and Great Perks"
What do you like best about Nectar?

What I like most about Nectar is that we receive 50 Nectar points every month that we can use to recognize fellow employees with shout-outs and points. I recently redeemed my Nectar points for a $25 Visa gift card that I can use anywhere online or in store; the redemption process was quick and easy, and there are also plenty of great gift card options to choose from. On top of that, we get great discounts on hotels, sports, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Employee Recognition and Engagement Platform for Team Motivation"
What do you like best about Nectar?

I really appreciate how easy it is to give recognition in real time and see team achievements in one place with Nectar. The rewards system and analytics are great because they make it simple to motivate employees and track engagement across the company. The real-time recognition feed, points-based rewards, and engagement analytics are particularly valuable as they make achievements visible, motivate employees, and help track team participation. The install setup was straightforward, and adding users, setting up reward programs, and connecting Slack and HR tools took just a few hours with clear guidance from onboarding resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

Some limitations of Nectar are limited reward options, basic reporting features, and occasional delays in points updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive UI and Daily Use!"
What do you like best about Nectar?

I think that the best features of Nectar are in the UI. The dashboard is so easy to use and navigate. Posting updates is as simple as checking the boxes below when you're recognizing a coworker, which makes the integration with Slack so smooth. You don't feel like posting in Slack, okay... go to the Nectar website and use that dashboard instead as both work without issue. I see our teams using the platform daily which helps with the company vibes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

Honestly, there's nothing I can think of using the product that I would be able to provide negative feedback about currently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nectar Makes Appreciation Easy—and Rewards Feel Meaningful"
What do you like best about Nectar?

Nectar has been a pleasant experience. Showing appreciation to others on a weekly or even monthly basis, in your work group/community is great for support. Makes one feel seen and appreciated even when they don't always see each other everyday. (I'm the weekend person)

Being able to turn those appreciation points into fun and useful things is just as great and simple to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

The only issue I've noticed is when following a suggestion from an email notification, it redirect to the front page. Therefore having to scroll through previous announcements to find the person you were first informed about, as it goes by date. Maybe be able to type in a persons name to see their announcement, ie: work anniversary, birthday, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-Easily engage company or teamwide with other user.

-The user interface is so easy to digest and to use, it literally took me less than 20 seconds to learn how to use it including editing my profile and sending points.

-If you have an issue, they resolve it very quickly!

-I check it everyday, and give out nectar points every day almost to keep morale going.

-Our company has it integrated with Microsoft Teams so you get a notification through there as well as email.

"A Great Way to Celebrate Colleagues and Build Team Morale"
What do you like best about Nectar?

I love being able to celebrate colleagues for their hardwork. I think it’s great that it doesn’t take anything away from us personally, and we can support each other and build morale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

I don’t like that we can only use multiples of $5. For example, we can’t use $28, it has to be $25 or $30. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Employee Recognition, But Reward Variety Could Improve"
What do you like best about Nectar?

Nectar makes employee recognition very simple and more consistent. The points and rewards system keeps teams engaged and it’s easy to appreciate someone for good work in public channels. Setup is quite easy and doesn’t take much effort. Integrations like Slack can be enabled quickly, and team onboarding is simple. Support is responsive and helpful for most queries. Sometimes the resolution takes time when it’s related to rewards or third-party vendors. We use Nectar weekly for giving recognition and sending points. It becomes more active during team events or monthly appreciation cycles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

Reward options can feel limited depending on location, and sometimes the catalog doesn’t have enough variety. Also, few features feel basic and could be improved for better customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Simple, Pride-Boosting Way to Recognize Employees"
What do you like best about Nectar?

Nectar feels like the workplace equivalent of a kid bringing home a piece of artwork they made at school, and their mom proudly hanging it on the fridge. It gives companies a simple way to reward employees by shouting them out in front of their colleagues, and it gives the employee a real sense of pride in the work they’ve done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

There’s really no downside that I’ve seen thus far. My only complaint is that I didn’t hear about it sooner! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Everyone to Recognize and Celebrate Each Other"
What do you like best about Nectar?

I love that positive recognition is something all employees can take part in. In many workplace environments, only managers or leaders are able to recognize or reward colleagues, but with Nectar, everyone gets to participate and acknowledge one another for achievements or for being helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nectar?

I’ve been using Nectar for over two years, and I haven’t had any negative experiences or anything to dislike so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
