Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The call queue and reporting systems are robust compared to what you have to pay to get the same level of functionality with a competing system."

"We have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable."

"3CX has strong reporting and management features. You can manage the capabilities of a call center with queues and timers. It's a complete solution."

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

"The solution is stable."

"The integration with SMS has been helpful. That's how a lot of customers prefer to communicate nowadays. It makes it convenient for the customer to reach us."

"The most valuable features of 3CX Live Chat are the ability to go straight to a call or screen-sharing and creating multiple channels from the same chat widget effectively. The ability to raise a call straight out to the cloud is fantastic, it is really useful. Additionally, it integrates very well with WordPress."

"It’s straightforward to set up."

More 3CX Live Chat pros

"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."

"I like the share information function."

"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

"I need a robust provider who can help me use Live Chat. Unfortunately, I have to move from one provider to another because they don't have enough capabilities to maintain good service."

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

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

"The solution was simple to install, but the configuration was not as simple. The full installation process took a few days."

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

"Some customers want to integrate a CRM solution with 3CX, but it's not compatible."

"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."

"3CX Live Chat could improve by having better integration with other solutions because we had multiple calls in which information was not extracted correctly. We had to modify their names, and some other data needed to be sorted out for a better understanding of the calls."

More 3CX Live Chat cons

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

"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."

"Avaya IX Meetings' deployment is complex."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no add-on costing on the standard fees."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"We used a yearly license depending on the customer's requirements, and the customers did not complain about the pricing."

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

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

"Avaya IX Meetings' licensing costs are monthly."
