The call queue and reporting systems are robust compared to what you have to pay to get the same level of functionality with a competing system.

3CX is easy to use. It's pretty a much regular PBX system. It is quite easy to configure aspects of it, and it has a good soft client.

The reason I chose the number eight is not only about analytics or customization but due to reliability bugs and agent workflow frictions, which affect the overall reporting coherence.

In my experience, 3CX Live Chat is not stable, as there are many bugs that have been reported for a long time but remain unresolved.

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.

Reporting and integration are the main challenges, which are at the mid-level or in the enterprise depending on the system that we choose.

You cannot make a group call on 3CX. That feature would make my life easier because I could talk to two suppliers or a supplier and management together. I wouldn't need to end the call and call another person.

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.
