Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"It is SIP compliant to multiple SIP phone vendors, though it is not locked into a proprietary vendor."

"It’s straightforward to set up."

"3CX is a reliable solution."

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

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

"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."

More 3CX Live Chat pros

"Can integrate with a lot of gateways in voice."

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

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

"There should be an option to save some extensions."

"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."

"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 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."

More 3CX Live Chat cons

"Customer support can sometimes be delayed."

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 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."

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

"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 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."

"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."
