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

"It is simple to provision, yet has great features."
"The integration between the video and voice is the most valuable solution."
"It has made my life as the VoIP Division Manager easier."
"It is very easy to install and manage, provides all the features of a traditional phone system as well as VoIP to significantly cut telephone costs, is very stable without requiring significant resources to run, and has an easy-to-use web interface for configuration and management."
"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."
"Mobility features and remote extensions work well."
"3CX Phone System is fantastic and easy to setup."
"With the reporting feature you can get all the incoming and outgoing call details."
"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

"Some customers want to integrate a CRM solution with 3CX, but it's not compatible."
"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."
"Message management in 3CX Live Chat is a little tricky."
"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."
"Bring back the multi tenant ability in version 15 and above."
"The call logs/reporting functions need some improvement and are still very basic."
"3CX Live Chat could improve by being more customizable. There should be more skinning options for the appearance of the solution when we embed it onto a website. This would allow us to make it look more like part of our solution, rather than a third-party application."
"Reporting and integration are the main challenges, which are at the mid-level or in the enterprise depending on the system that we choose."
"The system's stability could use an upgrade, it has a tendency to glitch sometimes."
"The system's stability could use an upgrade, it has a tendency to glitch sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable. There are a few license options and we are using an enterprise license."
"There is no add-on costing on the standard fees."
"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."
"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 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."
"Switching from POTS or PRI to SIP Trunk save the customer real costs. ROI is seen in less than a year."
"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."
