What is Queue-Fair?

A virtual waiting room serves as an intermediary page that prevents visitors from overwhelming busy websites, guiding them back to the site at a manageable rate while ensuring optimal performance and user experience.

This system allows websites to effectively handle sudden surges in traffic without risk of crashing, which also eliminates the need for constantly running additional servers when demand is low, contributing to a more sustainable approach to web management.

Moreover, effective virtual waiting rooms prioritize fairness by returning visitors in the order they arrived, while also keeping them updated on their status and estimated wait times.

Experiencing a website crash can be detrimental to any business, especially during high-demand events, as it not only harms server functionality but can also tarnish the company's reputation.

By maintaining a seamless branding experience, businesses can safeguard their customers' trust and loyalty.

Our innovative and patented virtual waiting room technology not only underscores the value of fairness but also enhances the entire customer journey through a fully customized branded experience.

    I’m very happy with Queue-Fair

    Date: Jan 22 2025
    Summary

    I would like to express my sincere gratitude for Queue-Fair platform, as it has been instrumental to our success. When we first launched our application, it unfortunately crashed within 30 minutes due to an overwhelming number of accesses, which overloaded the server’s memory, CPU, and maxed out our database server.

    However, during our second launch, the safeguard and hold queue proved to be an invaluable features, allowing us to maintain much better control over the server’s memory and CPU usage. This functionality was a critical factor in our success.

    Positive

    I’m very happy with Queue-Fair—it has been an excellent solution for us! Queue-Fair's SafeGuard and Queue Hold proved to be invaluable features, allowing us to maintain much better control over the server’s memory and CPU usage. This functionality was a critical factor in the success of our busy enrollment period. I am also grateful to the Queue-Fair support team for all the assistance they provided during the onboarding and set-up process - it was great!

    Negative

    I don't find cons to use Queue-Fair to my project.

    We experienced occasional traffic spikes that required precise management to prevent server crashes, and the platform performed flawlessly. Its ability to maintain stability under pressure highlights its reliability and technical strength.

    Positive

    It delivers outstanding service at a truly competitive price, making it a highly attractive option for any digital project. Their customer support is exceptional — fast, friendly, and effective. The control panel is incredibly intuitive, allowing even non-technical users to manage it with ease.

    Really pleased with first venture onto this platform

    Date: Oct 24 2025
    Summary

    I wish we'd made the move over to Queue-Fair much earlier than we did. Our company has used outsourced queue systems for many years but only require them on an ad hoc, time to time, basis. Queue-Fair offer a flexible and sensible pricing model that really met these needs and getting our first queue event going was made that much easier with their attentive support structure.

    Positive

    It handled our volumes really well
    It was easy enough to get it all set up
    The pricing was really fair in comparison to some in the market and much more sensible than our previous providers
    Support and hand holding was excellent

    Negative

    None that we know of at this time - we moved over to Queue-Fair due to escalating costs from our previous provider and can report no downsides with that decision

    Saved the day for us

    Date: Jul 17 2025
    Summary

    We have an event ticketing website which works great, but we have a couple of "scarcity events" where demand for tickets at the time they go on sale is tremendous. Our server wasn't keeping up. By using Queue-Fair we were able to keep the load on our server to a level that we could handle and the on-sale events have gone much smoother than they would have otherwise. Queue-fair have been great to answer questions and help us whenever we ran into roadblocks.

    Positive

    Easy to install and use, gives us lots of information about current and historical demand. Good quality support. It just works.

    Negative

    Some of our end users don't like the experience of being placed in a queue or waiting room, , but that's not really the products fault.

    Queue-Fair: Reliable Traffic Control and Exceptional Support

    Date: Jul 07 2025
    Summary

    Queue-Fair solved a critical challenge for us: managing large surges in traffic during the start of our sales season without risking website crashes, overwhelming our ticketing system or a poor customer experience. By controlling the flow of visitors, we were able to keep our platform stable and provide a fair and orderly experience to all users. The system also gave us a great way to inform our customers and build anticipation before sales opened, thanks to the presale announcement page. Overall, Queue-Fair helped us deliver a smooth and professional launch, while reducing stress for both our team and our audience.

    Positive

    Queue-Fair provides a smooth and reliable virtual waiting room experience that gave us full control over our online traffic during our season presale. One of the standout features is the beautifully designed presale page, which acts not only as a queue but also as a clear and engaging announcement page for our customers. Their admin interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, and the documentation is thorough, clear, and extremely helpful. Most importantly, the Queue-Fair support team is outstanding — always friendly, professional, and impressively fast in responding to any questions we had. It made the entire setup and launch process a breeze.

    Negative

    We honestly have no complaints. Our experience with Queue-Fair has been completely positive — we encountered no issues or difficulties during our campaign.

    A fabulous virtual waiting room solution with an amazing support team.

    Date: Feb 26 2024
    Summary

    Queue-Fair was really successful, it works really well. Support has been brilliant - every question has been answered super quickly. There are lots of events coming up where we want to use Queue-Fair too.

    Positive

    Queue-Fair is seamless - really easy to set up and configure. For the limited quantity stock we want to sell - and not oversell - the customer experience is completely improved. No more site slow downs or trouble adding to baskets. Perfect. Queue-Fair meant we felt like we were in control on our key trading day Black Friday - and knowing how many people were arriving at the site each minute was really useful too. The business really likes it.

    Negative

    To date there is nothing that jumps out as needing improvement.

    Date: Dec 16 2024
    Summary

    Overall the experience of using Queue-Fair us very very good, they delivered an product that did exactly what we wanted and needed, and they ensured that our webpage didn't crash during peak on Black Friday. We would've lost a lot of sales without Queue-Fair

    Positive

    We will for sure use Queue-Fair in the future - highly recommended

    Negative

    The only small negative point we have is that the smallest package they offer is 3 months while we only need this queue for 24 hours.
