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 :) > > Everyone at Nectar has been amazing to work with. The set was easy and we have had a lot of fun with the platform\! ----- ### "Visible Recognition" — 5.0/5 > **Lisa** | *May 4, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that everyone in the company has access to see and send shoutouts to everyone else in the company. It is not just restricted to reporting lines. > > **Cons**: Trying to figure out the appropriate amount of points to award so I don't run out but also use up my allotment. > > I love being able to recognize teammates at any time and that everyone can see the recognition. We tie the recognition to our company values and that helps make sure everyone keeps those values top of mind. ----- ### "Beneficial, but has its drawbacks" — 3.0/5 > **Ashley** | *June 23, 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the monthly email reminders when my Nectar points are replenished get added to my account so that I know when I have more points to send out to other people. > > **Cons**: I do not like how money is removed from my typical paycheck to cover "taxes" and does not save my login such that I have to re-verify my computer every time I attempt to login. Additionally, the options I have to choose from are things I would not normally choose to buy. Thus, I do not like to spend money from my paycheck to cover taxes. > > I have had an average experience with Nectar. ----- ### "Recognized and rewarded\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kristine** | *April 10, 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really enjoy encouraging my co-workers or sending points for something extraordinary they did. I also love the surprise when I get rewarded\! It makes me feel more confident and close to my coworkers. I also love being able to use those points for many different places and gift cards. The process to redeem the card was easy and straightforward. I was able to get all the goodies for my daughter’s Easter basket with my points alone\! It’s very easy platform, I didn’t have any issues with login, easy to navigate. > > **Cons**: It does get annoying when I’m using from my phone but then switch to my computer that it logs me out of the computer and I have to register the computer again and then would have to do the same again on my phone if I just used the computer. I also wish you couldn’t give only 5 points because you can’t use 5 points on anything, so those just go to waste since most people give increments of 10. > > Very simple, straightforward, motivating, and encouraging. A great way to be recognized and rewarded for collaboration or going the extra mile. ----- Page: 1 / 34\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/186557/perknow?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/186557/perknow) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
