Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This system is just awesome."
"Over the past several years we have deployed and worked on over 100+ 3CX platforms in all shapes, sizes and flavors, from on premise to cloud based it is our go to solution for clients needing a robust UC/PBX platform."
"It has resulted in customer satisfaction for the company product on IVR/web conference/application integration/mobility, etc."
"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."
"3CX is a software-based PBX which can cover every company's needs."
"It is SIP compliant to multiple SIP phone vendors, though it is not locked into a proprietary vendor."
"3CX Live Chat is easy to manage and is a very customizable platform."
"Prior to using this solution, there were difficulties with communication between the client and the distributor and our sales team and marketing team, which were improved after deployment because we integrated this voice solution with the video solution and allowed our distributors, clients, and customers to log in to our portal to directly interact with our salespersons."
"Can integrate with a lot of gateways in voice."
 

Cons

"There should be an option to save some extensions."
"During one upgrade, we lost conferencing that took several months to add back in the new version."
"It is not supported by Linux versions. This product is also not open source, which is not much appreciated by the guys like me, who love experimenting with the codes of any product they receive."
"Bluetooth audio support for 3CX IOS app is needed."
"The call logs/reporting functions need some improvement and are still very basic."
"There's some complexity in interfacing with external devices."
"Having a video call would be a nice idea."
"They need to embed a help or chat feature."
"Customer support can sometimes be delayed."
 

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