Others note it lacks advanced HR features like performance tracking or interactive, built-in social feeds for peer-to-peer shouting out. > > Recipients can choose from hundreds of popular merchant options thats a plus. Unclaimed gifts can be credited back to your account no wastage in that manner. ----- ### "Guusto Makes Recognition & Rewards Easy" — 5.0/5 > **HAYLEY** | *24 April 2026* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about guusto is the ease of use on the redemption side for the employee. I love that they receive a text message when they are sent a gift card (due to our workday integration) and I also love that we can print out a QR code so that they can redeem that way versus having to check their email. I also love the guest redemption feature so that they don't have to log in to guusto to redeem. > > **Cons**: There are 2 things that I dislike: 1) the process to fund our accounts has an extra step that we do not have with other vendors. We have to email Guusto finance to request an invoice. All of our other vendors upload invoices automatically in coupa without this extra step. This is likely going to cause issues, as our team is not used to having to do this. 2) I wish the platform handled sending in other currencies better. With our previous digital gift card vendor, we could send gifts in pounds, euros, etc. and it would show that amount on the front end prior to sending (e.g. if I was sending a $100 value GC in pounds, it would charge me $75 USD and convert the funds before I hit send.). > > Overall we have had a great experience with Guusto. The team has been wonderful to work with and the 'pros' of the system are a big step up to what we are doing before. I am very hopeful for a few improvements that would make it absolutely perfect, but we are close\! ----- ### "Great Gift Giving" — 5.0/5 > **Alyssa** | *22 May 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that they make it so easy to reward and recognize hard workers in our company and I love how many options are available to redeem. > > **Cons**: I can't say there is anything I dislike about Guusto, they are a great supplier that makes it so easy for my company\! ----- Page: 1 / 152\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/105459/guusto?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/105459/guusto) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
