Stable product but hard to integrate
Adobe Connect is not bad for connecting and integrating for remote connecting and video streaming. I think it was not bad, actually.  I don't integrate it in my project. Some other guys work on that. But I think they had some sort of problems with integration with that product. But, they managed to…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"3CX is easy to use. It's pretty a much regular PBX system. It is quite easy to configure aspects of it, and it has a good soft client."
"They can increase their productivity with the many options that 3CX gives them."
"LiveChat makes it easy to respond to your customers and connect with them."
"3CX is a reliable solution."
"It lets you see how many calls you made, the time you called, and how many minutes you spent on the phone."
"The failover features that come on SP3 allow me to create a replica of 3CX PBX in case the 3CX fails, and the replica becomes active right away, minimizing downtime and data loss."
"The integration between the video and voice is the most valuable solution."
"It has resulted in customer satisfaction for the company product on IVR/web conference/application integration/mobility, etc."
"We have a lot of people using the product, board members and senior staff and we also have support staff running the meetings."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"It is a stable product."
"The solution is very stable, with no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze, making it highly reliable for our training and webinar needs."
"Connect helped us move away from WebEx and use a tool more suitable for learning."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"It is straightforward to set up."
 

Cons

"There should be an option to save some extensions."
"3CX has some other limitations. One of our teams totally stopped using 3CX because they couldn't use it to capture the recordings of the conversations they were having with the client and also sync images on HubSpot CRM."
"Bluetooth audio support for 3CX IOS app is needed."
"No issues with the solution, except its services require a business model change."
"It actually has some stability problems. It actually lags and sometimes doesn't load."
"The call logs/reporting functions need some improvement and are still very basic."
"It could be better in terms of providing more options for call recording."
"Message management in 3CX Live Chat is a little tricky. You can transfer a conversation to someone else if it comes into a group, but it isn't always easy to return the conversation to the group."
"They could improve on the VoIP capabilities."
"The price is a problem."
"We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"The solution is quite expensive. In Brazil, Connect is only for obtaining international standards for international companies."
"The troubleshooting process for Adobe Connect could be improved."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There aren't any additional costs. With the license I purchased, I have all features that I need. I don't have to buy an add-on or another license."
"The price of the solution is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There are different license options available. For example, there is a professional version and an enterprise version, and with the enterprise version, you have the ability to modify the dashboards. You can purchase a license at many different time frame increments, such as monthly, yearly, or two years."
"3CX sells an annual subscription, but we usually split it out monthly for clients, so they don't see an annual bill for the 3CX licensing, it's just part of their monthly phone bill. As they're paying us for carrier service anyway, we just roll it all together. Your standard phone service would be an additional cost, you either need to maintain a local carrier with POTS lines or PRI or a SIP, or you have to go with a cloud-based SIP."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. There are a few license options and we are using an enterprise license."
"The price of the solution has been reasonable. We have not had any problems or complaints with the licensing model. We have not reached a point where we need to upgrade. We have all the correct channels."
"There is no add-on costing on the standard fees."
"We used a yearly license depending on the customer's requirements, and the customers did not complain about the pricing."
"We have purchased an annual license to use 3CX Live Chat. There are different options available, you can pay monthly or yearly. I am completely satisfied with the pricing of 3CX Live Chat, it is cheaper than competitors and it is a better solution."
"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"It is expensive."
