DocBeacon Reviews & Product Details

DocBeacon is a secure document sharing and analytics platform that shows what readers actually read. Rather than stopping at page-level metrics, DocBeacon’s in-page heatmaps map attention at the section level—spot the moments that keep attention and the exact points where readers drop off. Using personalized links, you can track views, total/average reading time, scroll depth, completion rate, and contact-level engagement. Controls like access codes, link expiration, and download restrictions safeguard sensitive content without adding friction. A real-time dashboard and per-document reports surface high-intent readers and high-impact sections, helping sales teams, founders, and content marketers prioritize outreach and improve decks, proposals, and collateral. DocBeacon brings document sharing, document tracking, and document analytics into one lightweight workflow.

"Real engagement insights, not just page views"

5/5

What do you like best about DocBeacon?

I really like the heatmap. It shows exactly where people spend time on the page, so it’s not just “they opened it”, I can see what actually caught their attention. When a client spends extra time on the pricing section, that’s my cue to follow up. It’s simple, visual, and surprisingly helpful in real sales situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocBeacon?

Would be great to have more integrations with tools like Notion or HubSpot. Apart from that, it's been stable and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I’ve tried other proposal tools before, but most of them only show how long someone stayed on each page. That data feels flat. DocBeacon’s heatmap gives way more context, it shows which parts were read, skipped. That level of detail helps me understand what people care about and makes follow ups way more targeted.

"Insightful Analytics and User-Friendly Interface Enhance My Sales Proposals"

5/5

What do you like best about DocBeacon?

What I appreciate most are the detailed engagement analytics, which let me see not just who has opened my document, but also how they navigate through it. The heatmap feature is particularly valuable for identifying which sections capture the most interest, making it easier for me to improve my sales proposals. Additionally, the interface is clean, responsive, and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocBeacon?

The platform is still developing, and I look forward to seeing more advanced features added in the future. In particular, I would like to have options for custom branding on document links and greater integration possibilities with CRMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before I started using DocBeacon, I had no reliable way to tell if clients were actually reviewing the proposals I sent. I was left to guess based on their replies or had to follow up with them directly. With DocBeacon, I now have complete visibility—I can see exactly who has opened my documents, how much time they spent on them, and which sections caught their interest.

This insight allows me to pinpoint serious prospects and customize my follow-ups using real engagement data. It saves me time, makes my outreach more targeted, and has improved my close rate. In summary, DocBeacon has transformed document sharing from a mysterious process into a practical, actionable part of my sales workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lightweight yet powerful document tracking tool"

5/5

What do you like best about DocBeacon?

I really like how easy it is to upload and share documents while still having full control. The analytics are very detailed — I can actually see which pages people spend the most time on, and the heatmap view makes it super intuitive to understand engagement. The watermarking feature is also reassuring when sharing sensitive files externally. Overall, it feels like a simpler, more focused alternative to DocSend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocBeacon?

Since the product is still new, there are occasional rough edges. For example, the number of supported document format is still limited, so I sometimes need to export data manually. Also, I would love to see a mobile-optimized experience in the future, since right now it works best on desktop. None of these are blockers, but they are areas I hope to see improved as the product matures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

DocBeacon solves the “black box” problem after sharing a document. Before, once I sent out a proposal or deck, I had no idea if it was opened or which parts mattered to the reader. With DocBeacon, I can see not only page-by-page engagement but also in-page heatmaps that show exactly which sections of a page drew the most attention.

This level of detail has been very useful for my decks and proposals — I can quickly spot which slides or paragraphs resonated and adjust my follow-ups accordingly. It saves time, helps me focus conversations on what the reader actually cares about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
