What do you like best about CrowdHandler?

We were looking for an easy solution to handle the traffic on our bookingdays. CrowdHandler does the task effortlessly!!

Although we only need this a couple of days in a year, the flexible payment system makes it affordable to give us an enterprise grade solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdHandler?

Maybe a portal to followup on support tickets, although we always receive good support...an overview can be handy...maybe i did not find it?

The need to register a creditcard...our finance dep. does not like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CrowdHandler solving and how is that benefiting you?

provisioning a fair online queueing system, so the customers can order comfortably Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CrowdHandler?

We use Wordpress so was very easy to implement. The room was easy to configure as we were keeping things simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdHandler?

Cant find any negatives , all smooth sailing so far ! And as we say in Scouting , no kinks in our knots! I would say though to remember to switch your room on ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CrowdHandler solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a medium sized Scouting Group - we rely soley on our website for incoming membership , events payment and more. We recently decided to sell event tickets online for our fundraisers. This proved a little too popular and our hosting , whilst its normally great - was stretched. I setup CrowdHandler and thankfully i could keep everyone happy including our Customers and Management !

What do you like best about CrowdHandler?

We only have 1 day a year that we need such a tool and CrowdHandler offers good monthly packages so we can decide per year which suits best. Easy to use and straight forward plug-in for WordPress allowed us to have CrowdHandler up and running in less than an hour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdHandler?

It would be nice if some of the functionalities will become available as addons for the cheaper plans, we don't need the number of users in the queue of the bigger packages but the priority access option would be nice to buy as an addon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CrowdHandler solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a very big visitors spike at a specific time on 1 day a year, with CrowdHandler we can easily manager this spike which is also improving the experience of our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CrowdHandler?

The system handled our traffic spike perfectly during our annual, preventing it from crashing as it normally does. This was the first sale in 5+ years that did not crash our site, all thanks to CrowdHandler. We had a few questions during the installation and setup process, and tickets submitted to Crowdhandler were dealt with extremely quickly. After our sale, their tech team even reached out to check in on things, and to make sure the sale ran smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdHandler?

Initially, I thought the price was pretty high, considering I only really needed to use it for about 2 hours total. However, after pricing it against other competitors, I found them to be one of the most affordable options! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CrowdHandler solving and how is that benefiting you?

High traffic spikes on our site during our annual sale - we used crowdhandler to prevent our site from crashing during the initial surge of traffic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CrowdHandler?

Firstly - I dont write reviews - but I felt compelled as this service saved us a fortune . We setup a website to handle a match between Care Homes and Volunteers to get gifts for residents of the homes . Our web hosting company wanted to charge me €150 for one day to increase Server resources to handle the incoming traffic we might get during some Media coverage spikes. I work in Enterprise Operations for a multi national , so was familar with IT and what we needed to do . Id used Queue systems for booking in the past but wasnt sure how to implement one. We have a WordPress site and found that CrowdHandler had a plugin - job done! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdHandler?

It wasnt clear to me initially that I needed to switch on my "room" to handle incoming visitors - If i read the manual might have spotted it :) Not a lot to dislike.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CrowdHandler solving and how is that benefiting you?

As mentioned , we have spikes each year and when we publicise on Radio/TV media , our website goes down every time - We can queue up our visitors now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CrowdHandler?

Needed help getting a waiting room up in a very limited time due to our site crashing when we launched a sale. Customer support was incredibly helpful and super fast to help me out.

What do you dislike about CrowdHandler?

Had a small issue getting setup initially with the payment portal, but this was quickly handled by customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
