We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It’s straightforward to set up.""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.""3CX is useful and easy to use. I can talk to my colleagues from anywhere.""3CX is easy to use. It's pretty a much regular PBX system. It is quite easy to configure aspects of it, and it has a good soft client.""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.""It lets you see how many calls you made, the time you called, and how many minutes you spent on the phone.""The integration between the video and voice is the most valuable solution."

"We now eFax pretty much everything. I no longer have fax machines and have to deal with paper. We had a situation where one person, specifically, would come onto a floor for a fax machine. After restocking the fax machine with paper, so that it could finish all the faxes that they got over the weekend, They would then convert all those things into PDF documents. By going to eFax, they're getting them as emails and it's already a PDF document. This saves a step, a lot of time, and effort. We are also able to provide fax machines to individuals at their desktop by having eFax. In my case, I have my phone set up to be both a phone and a fax line, so it just shows up in my email.""It allows us to serve our clients from home exactly as though we were in the office.""The automated system allows for control, including adding in MP3s for sound clips. This keeps businesses looking professional when customers call in."

Cons
"The analytics need to have a granular depth on how the customer details and the data sends information through this medium.""Its features for scheduling and generating reports need improvement.""In 3CX, customization is not as easy as I would like. With 3CX Call Flow Designer, you can set up the flow of a call, deliver it to the department, and automate the process. I can't do many things with this.""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. Otherwise, we cannot do anything.""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 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.""Some customers want to integrate a CRM solution with 3CX, but it's not compatible."

"We'd like pre-set computers with GoToConnect and all features embedded in laptops or other devices.""The ring delay could be improved. Our cell phones often continue to ring after we have answered the phone.""We just had one service interruption, which was due to an upstream carrier. They sent us hourly updates, letting us know what was going on and that it was being worked on. It was down for about half a day."
