Migration projects have cut licensing costs and now support flexible call flows and hot standby
FreePBX can be improved as they come out with a new version every year or so. Their current version is FreePBX 17. The user community and the FAQ are great; you can search for just about anything you want to do on FreePBX and they're getting new AI engines and new text to speech engines from third party vendors all the time. So it's a very rich community. Sometimes the security is a bit odd with FreePBX, but security is a bit odd overall, so I don't know if that's a valid concern. I appreciate it; it's a good environment. Sangoma is the owner of the system. If I ever get stuck on something, and it doesn't happen very often, I can call and get help from Sangoma, and sometimes they want me to pay for it. It's fine if that's what it takes, but there's great support.

Analytics have boosted customer satisfaction and now reduce returns through detailed shoe insights
I believe Amazon Connect Analytics can be improved, especially regarding the interface, as it would be helpful for us since we have to do a lot of development work to make sure the interface looks exactly the way our customers want. I'm talking about the user interface. Further about the needed improvements, the UI does give us the entire pattern, but you have to customize that pattern. What we prefer is that if those patterns or designs can be pre-built or available in the form of stencils, allowing us to leverage each stencil one by one instead of recreating from scratch every time. I choose an eight because, as I said, it gives us a lot of benefits, but the journey to reach that level is a little painful. It took us roughly two months to fine-tune a particular analytics dashboard, and once it's fine-tuned, then it works great. That is the process we have to go through, and that's the reason I suggest maybe we could implement a little bit more stencil-based or pre-ready designs into the analytics dashboards, which would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My advice for others looking into using FreePBX is that it is reasonable and most of the features are free, so I recommend it."
"I have seen a return on investment with FreePBX; for example, the musical instruments group saved over $30,000 a year by moving from Cisco to FreePBX for their licensing."
"FreePBX has positively impacted my organization, and if I were to compare it to Elastix, I find it a lot easier to manage since it does not have a lot of bugs and is very user-friendly."
"The call routing features with FreePBX have enhanced our customer service, with several sites all connected to a single central deployment, allowing people to work remotely from different locations using the same system."
"FreePBX has made a positive impact on my organization, and we have completed many projects with it."
"Since it is a free solution, all the features FreePBX offers are valuable."
"FreePBX positively impacts my organization because it would not be able to work properly without it, as a lot of server configurations are built on it and we fully rely on this system."
"FreePBX offers the best features for a small call center for a small company with 20 or 30 agents."
"We have seen a return on investment with Amazon Connect Analytics as we have reduced the number of managers that we need, making us much more cost-efficient."
"With the sentiment analysis and feedback, I've seen measurable improvements in customer satisfaction and efficiency, increasing by about ten percent more than before."
"Amazon Connect Analytics has positively impacted the organization by enabling call routing changes based on real-time data and allowing decisions to be made immediately."
"Thanks to the visibility and flexibility of the dashboards in Amazon Connect Analytics, I can act upon the actual events occurring in the solution."
"Amazon Connect Analytics has positively impacted my organization 100% as the results are phenomenal; now my operations team can actually see how many orders are getting rejected so that they can work on those cases and satisfy the dissatisfied customer."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the security is a bit odd with FreePBX, but security is a bit odd overall, so I don't know if that's a valid concern."
"Security would be the main feature that I wish was better because the FreePBX box can get hacked quickly."
"However, when the call volume is large, sometimes FreePBX goes on halt, and because of that reason, I give it seven out of ten."
"One area where they can continue to focus their improvements is support for third-party phones on the endpoint manager module."
"I think FreePBX can be improved by offering users the ability to design a call flow more easily through a drag and drop interface."
"I believe FreePBX could be improved regarding the user interface. Sometimes the user interface has bugs, and when you apply configuration changes, they do not always apply properly."
"Sometimes when I receive reports that a user is not able to make a call out or they are having a call drop issue, viewing the dashboard provides no data."
"I choose an eight because, as I said, it gives us a lot of benefits, but the journey to reach that level is a little painful."
"It would be easier if real-time and historic metrics could be pulled up on the same dashboard."
"I chose eight out of ten because there could be more generic functionalities and giving specific responses."
"The customer support for Amazon Connect Analytics is sometimes not as responsive and helpful as we would prefer, but it is not the worst."
