Pros

Haystack has the potential to be good but chooses to give terrible customer service.

Cons

No customer service. I have emailed them 6 times and they haven't fixed my issue.

Response from Vendor

April 5, 2022

Hi Aaron. We're sorry to hear that your customer support experience was less than ideal. We've reviewed your interactions with our support. I can see that in some cases you actually congratulated the team for a good support experience so we're obviously disappointed to hear that on a separate occasion the experience was different. Please feel free to write to support again and we'll be happy to address your concerns. Please note: You're working with our 'free plan' for individuals which comes with limited features and limited support - the Capterra page is about 'Haystack for Enterprise' which is a premium product designed specifically for large organizations with hundreds or thousands of staff. Our Enterprise SLA comes with Enterprise level priority support and an Account Manager.

Pros

We never heard of digital business cards until we ran into Haystack. The best part about it? It's free for individuals and cheap for the business plan. You can update your card on the go, share it with everyone, and more. The app makes it simple to design your card to help generate leads.

Cons

It does cost for the business plan, plus an additional cost per user.

Pros

This is such a fantastic app. You can capture other people's business cards, so you don't have to keep up with them, and then create your oven digital business card! You can text it to someone's phone or send through some other communication app.

Cons

I would like to customize the look of my business card a little more, not just color & logo. Like choosing which social media platform slots show.

Meeting people is my business as a REALTOR and this makes it easy. With Haystack, I always have contact information with me on my phone and don't need to carry a bunch of business cards with me everywhere I go.

Pros

This program is easy to use. Just snap a picture of your business card and send to potential clients and/or snap a picture of someone else's card and now their contact information is stored in your phone.

Cons

Nothing really. It was easy to use and easy to share my contact information with others with this software.

The excitement of being able to hone down my stash of business cards -but designing and managing the data using this modality is too awkward and not a normal flow of business management.

Pros

Accurate infusion of data - full details - robust, colorful, appealing. Great first impression for the potential user.

Cons

The user ability seems stunted or forced. I'm taking too many extra steps to register and then go back and retrieve the card. Lacking feasibility.

Pros
