"Amazing Chat Software"
What do you like best about ChatBeacon?

It's so easy to use, it's almost effortless, it's very easily added to websites so customers can start chatting. The video calls are top quality, which is sometime unheard of when in a browser, this makes it a lot easier to communicate effectively.

What do you dislike about ChatBeacon?

Customization tools could be clearer and in one single window to allow for more streamlined changes. It can also be a bit pricey if you're only a small business.

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

We're able to connect seamlessly with our customers and we're able to assist them with whatever they need in great time. The customer satisfaction has definitely risen since using ChatBeacon.

"Great Product!!"
What do you like best about ChatBeacon?

ChatBeacon allows our student athletes to SMS message our dietetics staff while they are away or traveling with their respective sports teams. They can text any questions about nutrition to one simple phone number, and any member of our dietetics staff can answer the message and chat back and forth from one simple application. It’s great to have all the chat records stored in one place. We can also save notes about the athletes, such as dietary restrictions, that any dietician can reference during the chat session.

What do you dislike about ChatBeacon?

So far, we have had very positive experiences with ChatBeacon. I can’t say there is anything we dislike.

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

We use ChatBeacon in a unique way, so you never know what kind of unexpected ways it can be utilized for you. If you think it is only for customers to chat on a website, there are so many other features that you may not even be aware of. During the initial demo, our specialist tailored the session specifically to our needs and showed us how to solve problems we didn’t even know we had.

Nothing to dislike! They have tech support for all smartphones and computers!

The future with Customer Service is going towards Chat. I love how quick they are to respond and seem to always have the answer to all questions!

"General Manager"
What do you like best about ChatBeacon?

We have been using SightMax (the older version of ChatBeacon) on our luxury automotive dealership’s website for years. Our clients love being able to chat with us in real-time, through live chat. We are able to capture leads, answer questions about inventory, financing, repairs, and even schedule maintenance appointments and test drives. We’ve noticed that live chat isn’t commonly used within our industry, so our clients say that feature really sets us apart from others out there.

What do you dislike about ChatBeacon?

This is not an issue with SightMax per se, but a limitation with live chat in general. With the high volume of chats we receive in a day, it’s sometimes difficult to handle them all in a timely manner. We also receive a lot of after hours chats that we wish we could answer immediately. HOWEVER, we’re told that with the upgrade to ChatBeacon, we can employ chatbots to act as agents when we are busy with clients on the showroom floor or when our dealership is closed for the day. The ChatBeacon upgrade is something we absolutely plan on doing when time allows. Knowing the customer service at ChatBeacon, we’re certain it will be a smooth transition.

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

SightMax instantly connects us to clients all over the world. We can cater to the needs of every visitor that comes to our website. Since our clients are looking to make a substantial purchase on a luxury vehicle, the personal touch of live chat makes all the difference to them. We’ve seen a substantial increase in revenue and customer satisfaction because of that

"Easy and Fast Implementation"
What do you like best about ChatBeacon?

The experience from day 1 was very positive. Drago demo'd the product, set up a test environment, helped in the implementation process, went out of his was to answer many questions we had and also helped to setup an AI integration. Amazing experience from the start!

What do you dislike about ChatBeacon?

I have nothing negative to say about it.

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

Chat Beacon integrated with Motion.ai and Hubspot was a sure shot fix for speed to lead. With a busy pre-sales department, the AI triage running on the Chat Beacon platform is getting help to visitors quicker and without the need for human interaction in some cases. We have also had several sales because of this.

"Get a personal face to face with clients with this excellent online chat platform"
What do you like best about ChatBeacon?

What I like about this software is that it provides great ease of use, how light, fast and editable it is. It is quite complete comparing it to many other similar services, being able to edit any part of the chat doing it automatically with Bots or attending people "face to face". Knowing how this online Chat platform and implementing it on your website is quite simple, the platform is very intuitive, the support team is very attentive to help their clients. Without a doubt, a very good quality software.

What do you dislike about ChatBeacon?

I consider that this software is almost perfect, its only major flaw may be its price, it is some expensive considering similar software, however, if we consider all the benefits and tools offers it may be acceptable. They could try to make prices more flexible so that the software is up to date reach of many more people, this would also be beneficial for ChatBeacon because I am sure they would have many more clients.

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

Chatbeacon has allowed me to support my clients or potential clients in an easy and simple way without consuming excessive resources. We can simply enter ChatBeacon Freedom and start answering questions in real time, this is very helpful since we can finish to convince potential customers with their doubts and thus finish motivating them to buy our products
