Real-time chat has boosted customer satisfaction and improves team efficiency and lead conversion
We could improve with better advanced chatbot customization, stronger AI-powered conversations, automatic deep CRM and third-party integration, more detailed analytics and reporting, additional customization options for chats, and improvements to mobile app performance and workflow automation. Regarding security, it is essential for customer-facing interactions. I would point out the real-time data lag, which is a significant gap, and enhancements in system reporting and live data update metrics are necessary. We also miss deep customer journey insights, along with user interface improvements, mobile widgets, and agent experience enhancements, especially with security and privacy configurations. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate 3CX Live Chat as an 8 because it has excellent control over the PBX license while enabling instant transitions from chat to voice and video calls. The reasons for losing those two points include basic analytics, widget customization options, and limited standalone chat tools compared to its competitors, which have higher market shares. With the right developers, they could excel in this area. The reason I chose the number eight is not only about analytics or customization but due to reliability bugs and agent workflow frictions, which affect the overall reporting coherence. Reliability and security glitches are significant drawbacks.

Great monitoring and chat features
I mainly use Comm100 for live chat between users The most valuable features are the ability to monitor users and to have a real-time internal chat with someone while they're chatting with someone on the outside. The system's stability could use an upgrade, it has a tendency to glitch sometimes.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Reception dashboard is excellent. I can see all the calls on the system and can pull back calls that are going into voicemail or transfer by drag and drop."
"The management interface is hands-down the easiest I've ever had to use."
"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."
"The monthly savings on service alone pays for the system in 8 months or less."
"3CX is useful and easy to use. I can talk to my colleagues from anywhere."
"We have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable."
"Simplified deployment of hosted voice, and the use of a session border controller which can be deployed cheaply on a Raspberry Pi makes port handling easier and more stable."
"3CX is easy to use, is quite easy to configure, has a good soft client, and overall, it's a good system for small-scale setups with a couple hundred extensions."
"The most valuable features are the ability to monitor users and to have a real-time internal chat with someone while they're chatting with someone on the outside."
 

Cons

"The call logs/reporting functions need some improvement and are still very basic."
"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."
"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."
"The outbound call reporting and wall board could be improved for the outbound call centers functions."
"Support could be better, especially when you have an emergency and need assistance."
"Message management in 3CX Live Chat is a little tricky."
"The analytics need to have a granular depth on how the customer details and the data sends information through this medium."
"No issues with the solution, except its services require a business model change."
"The system's stability could use an upgrade, it has a tendency to glitch sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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