"Recent transition to our new Intranet---Haystack"

5/5

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. If anything, I would simply say that as we continue using it, I’m open to providing feedback if any areas for improvement arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Haystack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Haystack solves the problem of scattered information by centralizing our documents, tools, and contact directories in one easy-to-navigate space. Instead of searching through emails or shared drives, I can quickly find what I need. It also helps bridge the gap between our teams across different regions by highlighting updates, birthdays, and work anniversaries, which fosters connection and boosts morale. Having everything in one place saves time, reduces confusion, and makes day-to-day work more efficient and enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Haystack solved all our internal issues!"

4.5/5

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"

5/5

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"

5/5

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!"

5/5

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.

"Easy to set up and maintain."

5/5

What do you like best about Haystack?

The team that I worked with to set up and implement the site was amazing. The site itself is easy to navigate and operate as both an admin and a user.

When I have had issues, the support team has been ready with answers.

The post insights feature is very helpful in measuring and increasing engagement.

Linking the site to our MS Teams was simple and I received great support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Haystack?

Getting pictures to display clearly can sometimes be tricky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Haystack solving and how is that benefiting you?

We previously sent most communications by email. That works well, until you hire a new employee who might need to refer back to policies and procedures previously communicated by email. The intranet allows us to hold a legacy set of documents that are centrally available to all employees. We have also used it as a hub for a support ticketing system, Haystack has made it easy to link those items in and distribute them to the team in a way that the team can always find.

"Lightens the Load"

5/5

What do you like best about Haystack?

I appreciate the interactive portals and I genuinely look forward to opening Haystack each morning to see company updates, events, upcoming dates, and photos of things we have personally attended. It helps break up the routine throughout the day..... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Haystack?

That it requests a link to be sent every so often to log back onto the site. It's just a minor inconvenience that my microwave - instant gratification brain, gets annoyed by. Not that big a deal though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
