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.

    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.

    Positive

    The solution is easy to install, and they have a very detailed guide.
    The back office panel has many options to customize everything and give you every option you could need.

    Negative

    The translation of the back office (the Italian one at least) seems made by an automatic system, and has some errors.

    Date: Sep 02 2024
    Summary

    Overall we have no complaints regarding Queue-Fair, we love the tool and the service they have provided for us.

    Positive

    It's a very user-friendly tool that was simple to integrate into our website, their team helped us every step of the way and made sure to accompany us in every moment we needed them.

    You have easy access to any information you require about the service usage, and the configuration is very intuitive, as well as perfectly explained by their team.

    Thanks to their services we were able to provide our users with a good-looking and functioning automated queue.

    They have plenty of integration options and a beautiful administrative dashboard where you can check everything that's going on in your queues.

    We are glad we found Queue-Fair and that we can count on them as a partner for our business needs.

    Negative

    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!

    Takes all the stress out of ticket launches

    Date: Feb 28 2024
    Summary

    Wonderful really, just wish we could use it more as it makes ticket releases actually fun instead of very stressful!

    Positive

    Once a year we have a big ticket release, in previous years our site has always crashed which has proven very stressful for everyone involved. Queue-Fair solved this problem, our website didn't crash and customers we able to purchase tickets seamlessly. It all just worked, just as our onboarding consultant said it would. With Queue-Fair we are confident for even bigger releases in the future.

    Negative

    None really, the experience was just great from start to finish.

    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.

    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.

    The Best Waiting Room Partner

    Date: Jan 08 2023
    Summary

    Definitely, Queue-Fair will be our top of mind for future reference and will surely be our only Waiting Room partner recommendation to our dear friends outside the organization.

    More power Queue-Fair! Good job!

    Positive

    We are very glad to have Queue-Fair as our Waiting Room partner for the three (3) big events we had last year 2022 - the iPhone 14 pre-order, the iPhone 14 launch and the biggest double digit sale of the year which is the 11.11. Our website did not crash! - our main goal during these high peak events. We even achieved and went beyond our Sales Target in 2022. Really, thanks to Queue-Fair!

    Despite the time differences between Philippines and UK, Queue-Fair’s CEO really consistently reached out to us just to make sure our events were all a success. And, the Queue-Fair platform itself is notable as it is user-friendly. We appreciate the data reports we have exported as these gave us meaningful historical insights which will be useful for our future projects.

    Negative

    We did not have any disliking with Queue-Fair. We are very happy to have them as our partner.
