Likelihood to Recommend

ChatBeacon

ChatBeacon is a decent choice for on-premises chat support, but the clunky agent UI sparks no joy. If your organization can use a cloud-based solution, there are plenty of other fish in the sea

HappyFox Chat

HappyFox Chat is a great platform for those who wish to gather prospect or visitor information in order to create qualified leads, sales, appointments, or whatever your goal is. The service is extremely easy to use and is simple to set up initially so your agents can get started chatting with visitors right away. The platform is suited for just about anyone who is thinking about adding a live chat solution to their site. I can't think of any particular scenarios where this would not be a fantastic option to use when connecting with prospects.

HappyFox Chat

  • All the emails convert into tickets and can be assigned to any free agent or team; which help us to respond on customer's query efficiently and in a timely manner.
  • One of the best features, which I used while using HappyFox, was transferring the ticket to another team member.
  • You can integrate HappyFox with Magento.

Cons

ChatBeacon

  • ChatBeacon is just SightMax with a fresh coat of paint.
  • The entire agent UI is remarkably worse than SightMax.

HappyFox Chat

  • I would like to see even more integrations become available in the future.
  • The cost for the basic platform is comparable with others in the field, but the upgrade to AI/Bot support is quite a jump.
  • Post-chat actions could include a few more options. After a chat ends, there are quite a few different ways that we could go with it, but the options are limited.

ChatBeacon

ChatBeacon 8.0

Support is a strong point for ChatBeacon - their support team is small, but you definitely get white-glove service. Zero complaints about ChatBeacon support!

Alternatives Considered

ChatBeacon

Before using SightMax (now ChatBeacon), we used AliveChat, which was an OK SaaS product, but the team operating the service would frequently restart the servers after maintenance and forget to start our instance back up. ChatBeacon(SightMax) as on-prem software eliminated this concern.We've been evaluating ChatBeacon vs. other products lately, and we really like how DeskPro stacks up vs. ChatBeacon - ChatBeacon is purely a chat product, and DeskPro does web chat/phone/email ticketing.

Return on Investment

ChatBeacon

  • Using website chat (often with an agent:customer ratio of up to 1:3 or more ) vs. phone support (with an agent ratio of 1:1) has greatly reduced support costs in every business unit.
  • Providing realtime feedback and links (vs. phone calls) has greatly improved the turnaround on the sales and customer inquiry processes.

HappyFox Chat

  • We are able to answer customer queries within SLA
  • The manned power has reduced, it was complicated to manage and respond to all customers over an email in timely manner.
  • We have limited resources, so we don't need to assign tickets or emails to any individual. As all the tickets are re-directed to relevant executive or team member.
