ChatBeacon vs. Unblu

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

Incentivized

We recommend the use of Unblu for working with mostly professional meetings, as there are many advantages to the platform over private teams, especially when it comes to coding and sharing data, keeping everyone involved in business transactions properly [organized].

• Easy to install and configure.
• Easy for customers to use.

Incentivized

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

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

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.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Thanks to Unblu, digital interactions with our customers and general visitors to our website have greatly improved, allowing us to better identify those who might become loyal to the company, and therefore helping us to close sales much more consistently, not only increasing our profits but also securing more revenue in the future.
