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

"I can, to date, not find any system that gets even close to the feature richness and low cost of 3CX."
"One of the biggest benefits of using 3CX Live Chat in our organization is it just works."
"We've had good experiences with 3CX support."
"The solution is basically an online phone, it doesn't charge you anything, you can contact people easier than using normal applications, and it has powerful and secure connections."
"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."
"3CX Live Chat works amazing and having a good connection will allow the best experience while using the solution."
"It lets you see how many calls you made, the time you called, and how many minutes you spent on the phone."
"It lets you see how many calls you made, the time you called, and how many minutes you spent on the phone."

Cons

"It would be nice if the Chat feature also allowed us to transfer files."
"In 3CX, customization is not as easy as I would like. With 3CX Call Flow Designer, you can set up the flow of a call, deliver it to the department, and automate the process. I can't do many things with this."
"It could be better in terms of providing more options for call recording."
"The solution was simple to install, but the configuration was not as simple."
"It actually has some stability problems. It actually lags and sometimes doesn't load."
"In 3CX, customization is not as easy as I would like."
"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."
"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."
"They do not have phone support."
"Maybe the price could be lowered, but people will want a lower price forever."
"I would like to see a chat feature in the solution."
"Maybe the price could be lowered, but people will want a lower price forever."
"It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting video call."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. There are a few license options and we are using an enterprise license."
"We used a yearly license depending on the customer's requirements, and the customers did not complain about the pricing."
"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."
"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."
