What Recognize Customers Say
Real reviews from verified users
Probably the best Employee Incentive Program I have ever been a part of!
"Recognize is the best. We use this program all the time at work to incentivize each other to be the best and most productive workers that we can be. I have seen first hand how much of an impact something as small as sending a recognition badge to your coworker has. Not only can it make someone's day, but it promotes camaraderie, it motivates us to do a good job in a consistent fashion, and it improves morale and makes people feel special, important, appreciated, and most importantly, seen. I think recognize is an invaluable tool, that frankly, we can never use enough! Not only that but the recognize site is extremely user friendly and easy to use."
Seamless Way to Build a Positive Team Culture
"What I like best about Recognize is how simple it makes peer-to-peer recognition. Instead of recognition being a once-in-a-while thing, it’s now built right into our daily workflow with Teams integration this also ensures we use the feature frequently. Colleagues can appreciate each other in real time, and leadership gets visibility into those contributions. The rewards and points system keeps people motivated, but what really stands out is how it creates a culture of appreciation without feeling forced. It’s quick, intuitive, and genuinely improves morale."
Fun and entertaining-Great for mentality
"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."
Where WorkTango Falls Short
Based on verified customer feedback
A Holistic Employee Experience Platform with Strong Recognition & Feedback, but Some Reporting and UX Gaps
"Reporting & data export options are limited. Hard to get custom reports or raw data the way some teams want. The rewards store can be frustrating: items missing, hard to find what you want, slow redemption. Some users say rewards require too many points to be meaningful, so it feels like a lot of work before you get something valuable. UX / navigation & performance issues: the interface can feel cluttered; mobile version sometimes less stable; slow load times. Integration delays or problems: updates from connected systems (HRIS etc.) sometimes take time to reflect, creating inconsistencies. Learning curve & setup: because the platform is feature-rich, admins/users may need more time to get used to it. Points & rewards policies can feel unfair: for example points expiring too quickly, or refunding / redemption less flexible."
Glitchy but fun!
"I don't like how difficult it is to update my profile, or any of my personal info like my photo."
Mortgage Loan Admin
"That is not promoted and offered in all workplaces. I think employers and employees would love that but, not many know about this system. It is underated and needs better marketing."
