Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They can increase their productivity with the many options that 3CX gives them."
"3CX has strong reporting and management features; you can manage the capabilities of a call center with queues and timers, and it is a complete solution."
"The 3CX Phone System system simply works."
"Easy management console access through web browsers with a good interface to Outlook and multiple CRM systems."
"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."
"3CX is my best PBX offering because it is a third of the cost and provides a full set of professional features, especially for call centers."
"I would strongly recommend investing in such a tool which can provide peace of mind 24x7x365, since it’s highly reliable, secure, and integrates with multiple VoIP providers, and can be maintained with minimal effort."
"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."
"Can integrate with a lot of gateways in voice."
 

Cons

"The solution was simple to install, but the configuration was not as simple."
"It would be really good to have an expanded range of VoIP handset hardware to include more Cisco phones."
"iPhone users found it difficult to use the mobile application when working offsite."
"It needs the option for the CS rep to stop recording when a credit card number is recited by the customer."
"Some customers want to integrate a CRM solution with 3CX, but it's not compatible."
"I would like to see is for the status to have a “time in status” field so people can see how long someone has been in that particular status."
"Bluetooth audio support for 3CX IOS app is needed."
"Its features for scheduling and generating reports need improvement."
"Customer support can sometimes be delayed."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
