A good and decent meeting platform that stores recordings of meetings

We use Zoho Meeting for booking meetings and demo calls for product review updates The most valuable feature of Zoho Meeting is how it stores recordings and how we can get those recordings by order. It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Easy management console access through web browsers with a good interface to Outlook and multiple CRM systems."

"It lets you see how many calls you made, the time you called, and how many minutes you spent on the phone."

"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."

"Mobility features and remote extensions work well."

"The solution is stable."

"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."

"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."

More 3CX Live Chat pros

"One of the most valuable features of Zoho Meeting is how user-friendly it is. It also has some security features."

"The API is much more flexible than other platforms."

"I like the tool's video call feature."

"The most valuable feature of Zoho Meeting is how it stores recordings and how we can get those recordings by order."

Cons

"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."

"The analytics need to have a granular depth on how the customer details and the data sends information through this medium."

"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 reporting and dashboards of 3CX could be improved."

"3CX Live Chat could improve by being more customizable. There should be more skinning options for the appearance of the solution when we embed it onto a website. This would allow us to make it look more like part of our solution, rather than a third-party application."

"Some customers want to integrate a CRM solution with 3CX, but it's not compatible."

"Its features for scheduling and generating reports need improvement."

"I need a robust provider who can help me use Live Chat. Unfortunately, I have to move from one provider to another because they don't have enough capabilities to maintain good service."

More 3CX Live Chat cons

"It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting video call."

"Maybe the price could be lowered, but people will want a lower price forever."

"They do not have phone support."

"I would like to see a chat feature in the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"There is no add-on costing on the standard fees."

"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."

"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."

"The price of the solution is reasonable. There are a few license options and we are using an enterprise license."

More 3CX Live Chat pricing and cost advice

"In India, Professional Zoho Meeting for up to 10 participants costs INR 125 per month, and for up to 250 participants, it costs INR 750 per month if billed annually."

"The product is not costly like other applications."

"Compared to other solutions, the price is not the lowest, but I can say it's competitive. My organization pays for a yearly license for Zoho."
