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

"The most valuable features of 3CX Live Chat are the integration with our existing CRM allowing us to get all of the numbers synced together. The communication aspect of the solution was always working very well, the sound quality was perfect. We were able to log into the application to check which users were using the solution and if they were in a call or not. Additionally, the solution integrates well with other CRMs."
"I can, to date, not find any system that gets even close to the feature richness and low cost of 3CX."
"We have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable."
"Reception dashboard is excellent. I can see all the calls on the system and can pull back calls that are going into voicemail or transfer by drag and drop."
"Mobility features and remote extensions work well."
"It is SIP compliant to multiple SIP phone vendors, though it is not locked into a proprietary vendor."
"Mobility features and remote extensions work well."
"The monthly savings on service alone pays for the system in 8 months or less."
"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

"There should be an option to save some extensions."
"The Android and iPhone clients are great options but don't always work perfectly, even on wifi."
"The call logs/reporting functions need some improvement and are still very basic."
"It would be nice if the Chat feature also allowed us to transfer files."
"I would like to see is for the status to have a “time in status” field so people can see how long someone has been in that particular status."
"During one upgrade, we lost conferencing that took several months to add back in the new version."
"We would like to see continued improvements in the 3CX phone mobile apps, such as allowing for deletion of multiple voicemails, shared parking control, and disabling softphone mode."
"Bring back the multi tenant ability in version 15 and above."
"The call flow design is extremely basic compared to 3CX and needs variable and loop capabilities to begin with."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
