We started to use Effy system a few months ago. We really wanted to concentrate all the information about our employees in one place, and don’t store it in different documents. Also, for us, the issue of registration of vacations and sick leaves was acute, because we have quite a lot of employees and the previous mail-order leave scheme has become ineffective. Employees could not correctly calculate the number of vacation days that they had and which they had already used. In Effy, we set up visual dashboards with the number of available days of different types of absences, prescribed a vacation approval scheme that automated this process and reduced the vacation approval time.
I really like that all processes can be customized. Attentive managers, who worked in Effy company are deeply versed in our processes and offer options for how to implement all our wishes in the system.
Our partners from Effy continue to add new features, constantly expanding the functionality of the system.
Our employees have already appreciated the usability of the system and we are actively transferring our processes into Effy Date of experience:

What do you like best about Effy AI?
AI assist helps to lot to make the framework for the review.
It was easy to setup. The sample response generation was quite helpful to see how we would be receiving responses.
As we are implementing this system first time in the Company, the walkthrough helped us to define questions well.
The responses are also monitored by AI to ensure no false inputs are captures, as prompts the users to answer by rephrasing the questions. This makes the feedback capture as if someone is next to the user to make them answer effectively.
I was also able to get quick response from the Effy team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Effy AI?
Free Plan users could be increased for trial.
AI prompts to further refine questions in the builder mode would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is Effy AI solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to manage reviews in traditional feedback form.
Effy is able to manage that online consolidating the 360 degree feedback, and having it in one place to take reports from the feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
