Worked brilliantly protecting our sites from traffic surges during product launches and made what is normally an extremely stressful time both controllable and scalable saving our site from crashing and providing an excellent user experience for customers. Our hands were held thoroughly through the whole setup process with support on hand when needed. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/611c09ae9a6754f65e30ed59f4e55ac6f3360d36c7a466ba17c2441c8c7bc6f6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Affordable and Functional](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/affordable-and-functional/)󠁿 [baldoshow22](https://profiles.wordpress.org/baldoshow22/) Agẹmọ 3, 2025 This waiting room is one of the most affordable options on the market. It works well, is easy to integrate even with Cloudflare (thanks to the tutorials available on their website), and is quite intuitive. What really makes me give it 5 stars, though, is the support. The team is incredibly helpful, open to feedback, and always ready to assist in the best possible way. There’s definitely room for improvement— some features could be added to further enhance the service — but this is already a solid foundation for what could become an outstanding product. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3171189e34b8b0d717c26c1f45b3b2fcfba1943a350941f9e97495344a57c79f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Muy inestable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/muy-inestable/)󠁿 [elmovimiento](https://profiles.wordpress.org/elmovimiento/) Ẹrẹ́nà 31, 2025 Es muy inestable, usarios alegan que no pueden entrar. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6a3c0ba4a4d05b7f9c95a01874c28cb1a0affd7ac836ae572abab4bdd7172464? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Handling our hosting when the website was under pressure!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/handling-our-hosting-when-the-website-was-under-pressure/)󠁿 [crowdhandlerqueue](https://profiles.wordpress.org/crowdhandlerqueue/) Òkúdù 14, 2024 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. 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 ! What problems is CrowdHandler solving and how is that benefiting you? We are a medium sized Scouting Group Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – 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 Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – was stretched. I setup CrowdHandler and thankfully i could keep everyone happy including our Customers and Management !Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/88f26df88853c4fc894c8a6c14d083c09e79b5bb2d5751ed1c0e2dad642c3eb8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Requires a Credit Card on file to sign up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/requires-a-credit-card-on-file-to-sign-up/)󠁿 [kevin.riemens](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kevinriemens/) Èbìbí 17, 2024 This plugin requires a Credit Card on signup, which most European's don't even own, and those that do hardly use. In contact with support they offer no alternative payment method. So I can't even sign up.
