Queue-Fair Description

A virtual waiting room is a page that keeps visitors away from busy websites and then feeds them back to the protected site at a pace it can handle, while maintaining responsiveness and performance.

Websites can handle sudden or unexpected peaks in traffic without a website crash. It also means that websites don't have to waste energy on additional servers when they are not busy. This makes it green tech, if implemented correctly.

Fair virtual waiting rooms return visitors in first-come first-served fashion. A good virtual waiting area should keep visitors informed about their progress and the remaining wait time.

A crashed website is the worst thing for your business. High-demand sales not only damage your servers but also damage your reputation. Smooth branding can help you protect your customers' goodwill.

Our original patented virtual waiting room technology allows you to show your customers that fairness is important while providing a fully branded customer journey.

    This solution allowed me to manage hundreds of online sales in a matter of hours without hassle.

    Date: Oct 09 2024

    Summary: During our event, we had too many visitors at the same time, before using this service our web server was experiencing slowdown issues and it became inaccessible. Controlling the flow of visitors allowed us to correct this problem.

    Positive: It is an easy-to-use solution that allows us to intervene in real time on the flow of visitors that we let pass. Easy to configure, we can even customize the visual and the texts of the queue. A special thank you to Matt who was able to explain all this to me in French, available and efficient, thank you again Matt!

    Negative: The only small negative point is the choice of packages, the most advantageous was to take it for 3 months while our event was only held for one day.

    Negative: None that we can think of, every step of the integration process was smooth and the usage of their service has been optimal for us.

    Great Queueing Service for our Needs

    Date: May 09 2024

    Summary: We run an event once or twice a year. By and large our website does just fine with the traffic, allowing a moderate amount of people to stop by and get information. However, when we actually sell tickets to our event, it gets overloaded very quickly. We learned from a horrible experience that we needed additional software to accommodate our ticket sales.

    I didn't even know that "virtual waiting rooms" existed before I started researching. We were so grateful to discover that you can use a service like Queue-Fair to handle spikes in traffic. We actually used a different service for a couple of years before switching to Queue-Fair. This other service functioned fine, but it was just getting more and more expensive and didn't seem to accommodate a small company like ours that really only needed to use the service once or twice yearly - so that's when I started poking around looking for an alternative service. I'm very happy I found Queue-Fair!

    They offer flexible plans so they can allow us to start up, and pause the service as needed, and not have to pay an exorbitant amount to run a service that we only use a couple of weeks out of the year.

    On top of that, the customer service is fantastic! I am frankly very disenchanted with our world of disconnection. Most companies aren't interested in having an acutal conversation with anyone! You've got to talk to phone bots, AI chats, etc. This is not the case with Queue-Fair. They're very helpful, knowledgeable and personable, and that carries through from the research/sales phase right into the support phase! (A pattern that's often broken with other services)

    Finally, the software is great to use. The GUI is clear and easy to navigate, change settings, etc. If you're completely unfamiliar with how queueing software works, it's a bit of a learning curve, but it's worth educating yourself on! Once it's all set up, the interface which communicates how the traffic is running, etc. is all great!

    To anyone who has such a need, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend using a queueing service, and specifically Queue-Fair.

    Positive: Amazing, personable service. Flexible pricing, even if (like us) you don't need the service year-round. Easy to use.

    Negative: Can't think of anything. We've just been really happy with them!

    Queue Fair is a robust and user-friendly solution

    Date: May 02 2024

    Summary: Queue Fair is handling unexpected high loads of visitor numbers and serving as a backup if the infrastructure does not perform as expected. The software and team is very user-friendly and does the job very good.

    Positive: Queue Fair is a robust and user-friendly solution to handle expected and unexpected peaks in visitor numbers. The guidance and communication with the team were very pleasant; our questions were answered promptly. Despite our infrastructure being well-prepared for high visitor numbers in a short period, it's reassuring to know that we can always apply a management measure by activating Queue Fair. Last year, during a significant scaling up of our services, we gratefully utilized the virtual queue, which gave us time to fine-tune the systems in the background to handle the immense load.

    Negative: There are no cons in using Queue Fair, the software and services are very good.

    Amazing support, everything works from the get-go.

    Date: Apr 15 2024

    Summary: From our first meeting to actually seeing the queue implementation in action, we encountered no issues. Everything has been working flawlessly, and in the event that something goes wrong, support replies extremely fast.

    Positive: Prior to Queue-Fair, we had never used a queuing system before.

    The steps to get up and running were far easier than expected, and the support has been phenomenal. Every tweak needed has been done almost immediately.

    Regarding implementation and integration, the same can be said. The documentation is very clear and concise, and it was fully functional after just a few days of testing.

    While the queue was running, no issues were detected whatsoever.

    Overall, it's the perfect solution for us.

    Negative: Everything has been excellent so far, no comment on this part.
