"Engaging Team Transparency, Would Love More Customization"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Haystack?

I like that Haystack lets me know exactly when I'm going to get paid and provides transparency in showing me everyone I work with. I appreciate being able to see little tidbits about my co-workers, as it helps me get to know them better. Haystack allows me to have full transparency of the agency through its platform by showing me the calendar of holidays and pay days. I get to explore and get to know my team more thoroughly, participate easily in polls, and even earn badges, which is really fun. The initial setup was super easy, which was a nice bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Haystack?

I would love to have a bit more customization when it comes to using the calendar feature. This is one of my favorite features because I am able to see the agency holidays. However, I would love to be able to add items to the calendar for my own view. It would be helpful to have the main agency calendar and then one that is only visible to individuals.

"AI-Driven Search with Room for Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about Haystack?

I like how Haystack's AI searches quickly, much faster than I could on my own, which is a big help. Another aspect I appreciate is the clean look of the pages, making it visually appealing. Plus, the AI tool doesn't just provide answers but also shows me the sources of information, which makes it easier to identify outdated info on the site. Additionally, the cost of Haystack was much better compared to what we had before with NContracts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Haystack?

The lack of sorting options makes page design cumbersome. Currently, the birthdays card does not sort and show current month birthdays for the team. It was time consuming over about two months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Haystack: Easy to Use but Needs Faster Loading"
4/5
What do you like best about Haystack?

I like that Haystack is pretty easy to use and fairly clear. The search function works pretty well for me, which is important because I use it to find answers to my specific questions quickly. It's also seamless for me in coordinating tasks, as it appears as a login button on my main landing page for HR. This makes it very easy for me to coordinate things, like figuring out health care information or applying for leave. Overall, it's been pretty useful for accessing employee-related resources and coordinating leave processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Haystack?

The loading time's a little slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
