Friendly interface supports different hold messages but call flow design and reporting need improvements
The call flow design is extremely basic compared to 3CX and needs variable and loop capabilities to begin with. Calls using 'control' extensions do not move the call to the next point, and require manual 'follow_me' adjustments in Asterisk. Reporting is very basic. Live view and control of actual calls in the dashboard is missing and it only shows the call count.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I’m not saying it’s the best system in the world, but at the price point, it is exceptional value when looking at the features you receive with the Pro licence."
"They can increase their productivity with the many options that 3CX gives them."
"3CX is a reliable solution."
"Our company has saved a lot of money from using 3CX Live Chat."
"The setup is wizard driven just like you would expect a Windows application to be, and it is super simple and straightforward."
"It is SIP compliant to multiple SIP phone vendors, though it is not locked into a proprietary vendor."
"3CX has a graphical user interface, and this is awesome because I don't have to have an IT person from my company in my customer's environment to set up and configure 3CX for my client. I just train the customer."
"It’s straightforward to set up."
"The most valuable features are the friendly user interface, the ability to support different hold messages per department, and the good desktop and mobile clients."
 

Cons

"3CX has some other limitations. One of our teams totally stopped using 3CX because they couldn't use it to capture the recordings of the conversations they were having with the client and also sync images on HubSpot CRM."
"It would be great if the web meeting functionality could be extended to enable users to call standards-based video conferencing systems."
"There are a lot of quality of life things that could be improved. When adding extensions, you need to use the extension import setting, you can't just use an import function to update extensions. You have to delete and recreate the extension, which can have all kinds of unintended consequences."
"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."
"We had sync issues between the mobile clients and the desktop phones which needed vigorous testing and fault finding."
"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."
"The analytics need to have a granular depth on how the customer details and the data sends information through this medium."
"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."
"The call flow design is extremely basic compared to 3CX and needs variable and loop capabilities to begin with."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 reasonable. There are a few license options and we are using an enterprise 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."
"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."
"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."
