Bonusly vs. Teamspective

Bonusly has provided us a formal space to post recognition. While face to face recognition still occurs, this is a place where staff can post publicly or privately, but a majority choose public. It has been incredibly popular since our implementation. Staff love the ability to earn time off through recognition. That customized redemption is our most popular reward.

I have also recommended Teamspective many times! I think it's the best choice for a modern organisation who wants to support its people to take responsibility for their learning & development and not just passively wait for managers to do that. Teamspective integrates very well with Slack, so I recommend it to everyone who wants to have the feedback tool as a part of their other tools that are already used daily by the employees.

• Fosters a culture of appreciation for one another
• Allows for each staff to select reinforcers of meaning to them specifically
• Can help tomato sure celebratory dates aren’t forgotten (birthdays, work anniversaries)
• Increases employee engagement
• Connects distance employees and employees who don’t have a department team around them to remain engaged and connected to others
• Allows for specific hashtags that can be tied into company values, to reiterate core values of the organization.

• Easy of use
• In-depth analytics based not only on direct question to answer, but the broad analytics database in background that links the questions to scientifically studied relations to broader analytics. As an example the importance of feedback and its correlation to motivation and wellbeing
• Ease of implementation
• Constant development of the tool in collaboration with other customers and Teamspective
• Customer support and customer relationship management by the whole Teamspective team from Founders to developers

• Moderation. The freedom to post anything for recognition can get out of hand depending on your tolerance/company culture. There are very little to no tools around better this.
• Bonusly has not done much in the way of adding features. Hard to call it a con but other similar platforms have extended into allowing more directed involvement from the organization. In other words: Bonusly is a little TOO hands-off in some ways.

• Performance evaluation feature that would match perfectly with project-based organisation needs (I think all feedback tools should improve in this!)

tool has been shown to be exactly what we have wished for and the constant collaboration and development together with Teamspective and other customer community supports that we should and we are continuing the collaboration with them in the future as well

Bonusly is easy to use and intuitive for anyone familiar with technology and using websites. There is a page where posts are made, and a page where rewards are redeemed. It is very straightforward.

Teamspecitve does not need heavy support organisation and tool it self is very self guiding. We have only 2 main administrators for the tool and the need from these perosons is very minimal. Tool provides easy to use interface and one glance reports from team to company level in one page. Our survey reponse rates in whole company levels are constantly around 85-90%, so it gives good analytics on the current status in multiple areas.

I never had any issues with support. It's especially nice to be able to add location-specific rewards.

Teamspective answers quickly and really puts an effort to fix a problem. There have been several requests for the product to support our use cases that Teamspective has made true.

Involve key users from day one as in any implementation project. Describe the need, benefit and use cases for easier implementation. Communicate actively

the cost was [the] main factor for us. I think the platforms are very similar. Bonusly is one focused on just employee recognition which is great and concise. BlueBoard offers a lot more by way of experiences and gift-giving for recognition but on the pricier side.

We did a wide comparison and ended up using Teamspective as we felt that they are offering exactly those features we needed but nothing "extra," meaning we only pay for the things we need. Also, Teamspective seemed simple enough, and on the other hand, we appreciated their strong investments in developing the product based on customer feedback. The biggest differentiator to the average feedback tools is that Teamspective is not manager-led, so employees will become masters of their own development.

• Employees put forth extra effort and take on additional responsibility.
• More creative ideas from employees to improve business processes and solve problems.

• Teamspective has helped in building our feedback culture, which is often mentioned by our employees as one of the positive things in the company.
• Teamspective helps our people give professional-level feedback independently, effectively, and respectfully. Feedback skills are important for any professional today.
