In the end we settled with the Advanced plan to give us better Tech Support access and better access to leadership training. > > While our team faced a bit of a learning curve coming from multiple tools to an integrated solution, with a few coaching sessions, we were able to get the tool up and running and we LOVE it. I highly recommend this tool if you are not already using a fully integrated solution that allows you to transform your strategy into goals and effectively track progress through all levels of your team. ----- ### "A great tool for recognising employees without biasness." — 5.0/5 > **Marco** | *21 December 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The product is an affordable tool for empowering employees and motivating them. > > **Cons**: Inspire has delivered and survived the test of times. > > For employees recognition and rewarding is recommended Inspire product. It is a great tool. ----- ### "Great way to recognize and be recognized\!" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 December 2025* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The variety of gift cards is better than other similar programs. It is user very user friendly on either side of a recognition transaction. > > **Cons**: The price of physical goods on this platform seems a bit overpriced when compared to the cost of redeeming for gift cards. > > Overall, inspire offers a very user friendly and diverse platform for recognizing and rewarding colleagues. The selection of good is great, if a bit overpriced. ----- ### "Inspire Software" — 5.0/5 > **TOm** | *23 October 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's an indefensible tool for my personal productivity and performance. I use it to start and end everyday. It's my main planning and execution tool. As a company CEO, Inspire gives us the ability to communicate our corporate strategy to the team and align the origination. Everyone is focused and much more productive. > > **Cons**: A few of the features could be streamlined. A couple of the features are very deep. Having the ability to turn them off or streamlining how they function would increase use and effectiveness across the team. ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/89170/inspire) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
