Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Integrated Web Meeting and Video Conferencing with mobile app is a big sales feature."
"3CX technical support is top notch and the best of any vendor I've encountered so far."
"We can call everywhere with the IP public install on the application."
"Because it’s quite easy to deploy and operate, it has allowed us better disaster recovery options for our clients."
"The solution is stable."
"I can safely say that there is nothing that beats the ease of deployment, functionality and stability of 3CX."
"The management interface is hands-down the easiest I've ever had to use."
"LiveChat makes it easy to respond to your customers and connect with them."
"Qrystal stood out during our assessment for voice quality monitoring and proved its value in the first month after deployment."
"The product and team have helped us maintain best-in-class telephony service for our users."
 

Cons

"The current solution requires different ports for each instance and is not allowing for SIP trunk sharing between them."
"The call logs/reporting functions need some improvement and are still very basic."
"No issues with the solution, except its services require a business model change."
"We had sync issues between the mobile clients and the desktop phones which needed vigorous testing and fault finding."
"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."
"There should be an option to save some extensions."
"It could be better in terms of providing more options for call recording."
"The Android and iPhone clients are great options but don't always work perfectly, even on wifi."
"It might be helpful to have video tutorials embedded into the product that give you 15-30 second details about certain analytics, etc."
"Qrystal could be improved by including Diameter KPIs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Switching from POTS or PRI to SIP Trunk save the customer real costs. ROI is seen in less than a year."
"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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. There are a few license options and we are using an enterprise 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
