Real-time chat has boosted customer satisfaction and improves team efficiency and lead conversion
We could improve with better advanced chatbot customization, stronger AI-powered conversations, automatic deep CRM and third-party integration, more detailed analytics and reporting, additional customization options for chats, and improvements to mobile app performance and workflow automation. Regarding security, it is essential for customer-facing interactions. I would point out the real-time data lag, which is a significant gap, and enhancements in system reporting and live data update metrics are necessary. We also miss deep customer journey insights, along with user interface improvements, mobile widgets, and agent experience enhancements, especially with security and privacy configurations. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate 3CX Live Chat as an 8 because it has excellent control over the PBX license while enabling instant transitions from chat to voice and video calls. The reasons for losing those two points include basic analytics, widget customization options, and limited standalone chat tools compared to its competitors, which have higher market shares. With the right developers, they could excel in this area. The reason I chose the number eight is not only about analytics or customization but due to reliability bugs and agent workflow frictions, which affect the overall reporting coherence. Reliability and security glitches are significant drawbacks.

It integrates well with our learning management system, but the break-out rooms are a little rough around the edges
There are definitely times when the sound becomes a bit unclear, and latency is also an issue. If there are too many people on video simultaneously, the whole system can slow down. The group breakout rooms are still somewhat rough around the edges. I would like to see them improve that feature so we can have more interaction in our classes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the biggest benefits of using 3CX Live Chat in our organization is it just works."
"Fully equipped soft PABX without hidden extras."
"LiveChat makes it easy to respond to your customers and connect with them."
"This solution gives our customers mobility. They can use their phone system everywhere. The other key feature is the security."
"It's a VOIP PBX based on Windows, it runs rock solid, and is easy to setup and manage."
"We have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable."
"3CX Live Chat is easy to manage and is a very customizable platform."
"Easy management console access through web browsers with a good interface to Outlook and multiple CRM systems."
"The most valuable features for me are its stable connection, user-friendly interface, and screen-sharing files. Cisco's support is also very valuable."
"It made it simple for users to join, work together, and share screens."
"Having Webex has been crucial for maintaining our training programs during COVID."
"We appreciate how Webex integrates with our system. When an employee completes a course, Webex documents it and updates the employee's training records."
"During meetings, the feature of closed captioning, scripting, and recording was convenient for keeping minutes and making available the information discussed to review meeting minutes. Also to keep track of all the agreements and discussions during those meetings. It worked well with our email systems and other communication services integrated into the functionalities."
"Installation was straightforward."
"Webex Meeting's most valuable features are screen-sharing and remote access."
 

Cons

"Would be great to see the ability to break office hours down beyond single days. For example, we have clients that have standing meetings on Monday from 11:00a to 12:00p."
"Support for more desktop phones as a standard would be helpful. They are heavy on Yealink phones and when moving from legacy systems we find it a bit cumbersome to add those phones on to 3CX and then auto-provisioning becomes quite a task."
"iPhone users found it difficult to use the mobile application when working offsite."
"It would be really good to have an expanded range of VoIP handset hardware to include more Cisco phones."
"It needs the option for the CS rep to stop recording when a credit card number is recited by the customer."
"Yes, we have had many problems with this product, but step-by-step, they fix them, because this is a new product."
"No issues with the solution, except its services require a business model change."
"Some customers want to integrate a CRM solution with 3CX, but it's not compatible."
"There are definitely times when the sound becomes a bit unclear, and latency is also an issue."
"It could be more secure."
"It would be nice if there were more integrations available."
"There are definitely times when the sound becomes a bit unclear, and latency is also an issue. If there are too many people on video simultaneously, the whole system can slow down. The group breakout rooms are still somewhat rough around the edges. I would like to see them improve that feature so we can have more interaction in our classes."
"Webex Meetings could be improved with more collaborative features and an archive of information like appointments and discussions that can be shared with everybody."
"The features I think can be improved are integrations with third-parties; for example, Microsoft 360 and other shared folders."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We used a yearly license depending on the customer's requirements, and the customers did not complain about the pricing."
"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 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."
"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 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 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 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."
"Pricing is very competitive because it didn't change much since they were already in the market when other players came in."
