## Reviews

### "Refresh Review" — 5.0/5

> **Genesis** | *6 March 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The customization of the platform any way you see fit. And communication tools make it really easy for us to connect with our team and for a survey.
> 
> **Cons**: None so far. Exciting seeing some of the new features that are on the product roadmap.

### "Super easy to customize" — 5.0/5

> **Dane** | *1 February 2022* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The customization of the platform. The Refresh Team spent the time to get us set up with exactly the system we wanted. They were also available to walk us through new ideas on how to improve the employee experience of a key annual awards event.
> 
> **Cons**: There is not anything not to like in this software. It has been exciting seeing some of the new features that are on the product roadmap. When we have had ideas on where we could add in more videos or extend the public presentation of kudos from team members, Refresh has been able to adjust to meet our needs.
> 
> We were excited to be able to release a mobile app that was company branded and has so many features that we can deploy to make our employees feel connected and valued. We see this as the beginning of a great partnership and love dealing with the team at Refresh on what we can continue to build on and learn together.

### "One of the best to manage employee recognition." — 4.0/5

> **Ummu Habibah** | *20 July 2022* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to modify the platform in any way you see fit. Our system was configured according to our specifications by the Refresh Staff. They have also been capable of providing us with fresh perspectives, including how to make a critical yearly awards ceremony a better one for employees.
> 
> **Cons**: The product is rarely updated and not much new updates or patches are roll out. It is a great product, but need a consistent updates on the feature and tools. overall, I love all the benefit of the software in managing our employees recognition segment.

### "Smooth Sailing" — 5.0/5

> **James** | *25 September 2020* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We’ve been bringing in new engineering employees since 2018 and the process with this platform has been, dare I say, refreshing - we use their onboarding forms and workflow to capture everything we need on day one, employees are set up to provide additional information as we request it, and the data management is great. Where Refresh shines above the rest is in how seamless it is from a workflow perspective - both for users and ourselves as administrators.&#10;&#10;We have also begun to provide a wellness/fitness program with the Refresh Live video sessions that we otherwise may have never thought about. This has been a big win for our team.
> 
> **Cons**: Refresh should have contacted me 4 years ago\! Also at this point our team loves the wellness offering so much it would be hard to ever go back.

### "Refresh delivers an extraordinary product and is an exceptional company to work with" — 5.0/5

> **Jim** | *3 August 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is best in class software and a product which delivers incredible value for the cost. The Refresh software is state of the art, easily deployed, flexible to a company's specific  requirements, while delivering highly valuable content and services.
> 
> **Cons**: Refresh is continually updating and improving their software and we have never encountered an issue with it that we would consider problematic.
> 
> Of all the companies we work with. Refresh is at the very top. I cannot endorse them enough as a software provider, partner, and leader in their field.
