"Intuitive, Customizable, and Easy to Integrate"

5/5

What do you like best about Recognize?

Recognize is easy to use for both employees and administrators. It feels intuitive for users, is customizable to the business’s needs, and can integrate with other programs, such as Microsoft Outlook. The support staff has been accessible and supportive since day one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

The customizations are so robust that sometimes there are too many menus and features in the admin portal. Luckily, it's easy to connect with the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Coworker Flower Sending, But Contract Worker Recognition Is Unclear"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Recognize?

You can send flowers to coworkers across large corporations without ever having to leave your office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

Recognize doesn’t seem to include contract workers, but I’m not sure whether that’s due to Recognize itself or the nonprofit I work for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Camille Escobar of Recognize

edit

Thanks for sharing! Access and eligibility can vary depending on how your organization has things set up, so that may be why contract workers aren’t included. We’d love to earn a full 5/5 from you. Let us know if there’s anything we can do for you.

"Effortless Recognition That Boosts Team Morale"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Recognize?

Recognize makes it easy to acknowledge great work quickly and visibly. It helps managers reinforce the right behaviours in real time, boosts morale, and creates positive momentum across teams (especially useful in a global, hybrid working environment). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recognize?

Least helpful aspect is the user experience inside Teams. Authentication feels clunky and interrupts the flow, especially compared to experience with Viva. This may be related to our enterprise authentication (e.g., Okta), but from a manager’s perspective the access friction makes Recognize feel less smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Camille Escobar of Recognize

Thanks, Peter! We’re glad to hear it’s been helping boost morale. We hear your frustration with single sign-on in Teams. There’s a way to greatly improve the login experience, and we’re already working on implementing it. We’ll be sure to let you know once it’s ready.

The explanation and navigation of the website is fun and I love the inclusivity. The integration is into our hospital and referring other coworkers to utilize the site will be amazing. Customer support was helpful when I asked about badges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks, Destiny! The badges are actually set to highlight specific values or achievements, but it’s great to hear you’re already recognizing teammates often.
