Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of 3CX Live Chat are the integration with our existing CRM allowing us to get all of the numbers synced together. The communication aspect of the solution was always working very well, the sound quality was perfect. We were able to log into the application to check which users were using the solution and if they were in a call or not. Additionally, the solution integrates well with other CRMs."

"Easy management console access through web browsers with a good interface to Outlook and multiple CRM systems."

"The integration between the video and voice is the most valuable solution."

"It lets you see how many calls you made, the time you called, and how many minutes you spent on the phone."

"3CX has a graphical user interface, and this is awesome because I don't have to have an IT person from my company in my customer's environment to set up and configure 3CX for my client. I just train the customer."

"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."

"The most valuable features of 3CX include meetings, IVR, and the workflow personalization of the service desk activity."

"The dashboards and interface of the solution are very good, they have covered most of the main features needed for our needs."

More 3CX Live Chat pros

"I like the share information function."

"We use the solution for team collaboration, document sharing, and video conferencing services. It integrates well with on-premises video conferencing systems and supports chatting through text messaging and instant messaging."

"It is very easy to jump from one communication channel to another one. It is pretty clear and very easy to do. That is the thing that I like the most from Avaya and their suite."

"Interesting collaboration features."

Cons

"There are a lot of quality of life things that could be improved. When adding extensions, you need to use the extension import setting, you can't just use an import function to update extensions. You have to delete and recreate the extension, which can have all kinds of unintended consequences."

"The solution could improve the web meeting feature. There is a lot of competition from all the other applications that are out there, such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom. I find I do not use it that much. I do not know how much effort they are putting into the web meeting part of the program but it could improve."

"The reporting and dashboards of 3CX could be improved."

"It could be better in terms of providing more options for call recording."

"Having a video call would be a nice idea."

"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."

"Once we establish the system and do the initial configuration, some configurations will be fixed. However, if we need to change those configurations, the option is to do a reinstallation. Otherwise, we cannot do anything."

"The analytics need to have a granular depth on how the customer details and the data sends information through this medium."

More 3CX Live Chat cons

"Increase in participant numbers reduces quality of video and sound."

"Avaya IX Meetings' deployment is complex."

"There isn't too much information about Avaya solutions and that could be very much improved. If you want some product support, you have to go through a business partner in Latin America and there aren't many partners."

"The installation could be more straightforward. I would like it to work with other meeting software in the next release."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Switching from POTS or PRI to SIP Trunk save the customer real costs. ROI is seen in less than a year."

"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."

More 3CX Live Chat pricing and cost advice

"Avaya IX Meetings' licensing costs are monthly."

"I'm using a subscription. The price is reasonable. It costs about $20 a year."
