"Recent transition to our new Intranet---Haystack"
What do you like best about Haystack?

Our transition to Haystack has been a smooth and rewarding experience. The platform is very easy to use and has significantly improved how we access and manage information. I appreciate having all of our documents, applications, and contact directories consolidated in one central location. The way the information is displayed is both clean and engaging, which makes navigating the intranet feel effortless. I also value the thoughtful features such as work anniversary and birthday highlights, which help foster a stronger sense of community. Since our team is spread across different regions, Haystack has helped us feel more connected and in sync, even from a distance. Overall, it has enhanced both our productivity and our team culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Haystack?

At this time, I have not encountered anything I genuinely dislike about Haystack. The platform has been intuitive, reliable, and well-organized.

"User-Friendly with Strong Communication Features"
What do you like best about Haystack?

I appreciate how user-friendly Haystack is, making it easy for me to navigate and utilize its various functions. I enjoy the hosting of events feature as it allows me to input the exact date and time, making coordination across our entire company seamless. The ability to create private groups is another aspect I like because it ensures that I can share specific information with designated teams, maintaining privacy and relevancy in communications. Additionally, the initial setup of Haystack was fairly easy, and it was impressive how quickly everyone in the company adapted to it, demonstrating its intuitive design. This ease of use and comprehensive functionality makes Haystack a valuable resource for our company, contributing to my decision to rate it a 10 out of 10 for recommendation.

"Haystack solved all our internal issues!"
What do you like best about Haystack?

I love how Haystack is a one-stop-shop for everything that our team members may need. The post feature and ability to create pages that include PDFs are awesome! It's easy to use for people who know the ins and outs of it. It was a quick and easy implementation process and we use it on a daily basis as a company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Haystack?

I think the search feature, both the AI and regular, need some work. The most complaints we've gotten have been about how people can't find specific documents/ pages that they're looking for. I think it also just takes a bit to get used to and navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellen Business Intranet Platform"
What do you like best about Haystack?

Haystack has become an extremely valuable tool for our team. It allows us to track all of our employees, their organizational chart, locations, responsibilities and more! We use it as a landing page to get to all of the sites and information our employees need. We started off looking for a tool to assist with maintaining and searching our guidelines but it has ended up proving to be so much more!

We use it every single day and new employees always seem to comment on how easy it is to use and search for information. The Customer Support Team has also been super helpful anytime we need assistance, which is rare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Haystack?

I would like to see the option for recurring events and integration with other sites like STAN Ai who we are currently working with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Haystack is good platform for the employees to communicate"
What do you like best about Haystack?

Haystack makes it easier to interact with fellow employees of the company. Through this network we are updated as well as we have a place to interact and join and contests within the company with ease. For instance, we used to have monthly contests of submitting photos related to a holiday. Previously we have to submit an email now, we can upload the photos as comments on the posts and actually see who got the most interactions making our contests transparent. We also have easy access to links that our relevant to our accounts. The AI features are also amazing as it makes creation of content easy and not an additional burden. This can also be used as frequent as possible even every minute to keep us updated of any announcement without the additional hassle of opening emails. On the upper management side, it is also easy to implement it to new users as the also the integration of the tenured employees were also easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Haystack aint Whack!"
What do you like best about Haystack?

I like that company messages, articles, forms and resources are all compiled into one space. I don't have to go on a scavenger hunt for information, and the layout is straightforward Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Haystack?

I find the layout to be so free-form that the homepage ends up feeling quite busy, filled with a mix of different articles. There isn’t any clear guidance toward a particular direction or featured article, which leaves me feeling lost in the sauce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
