Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable."
"I have been using it in my environment, and if you use it, you have to say that VoIP can't get any simpler than this."
"3CX Live Chat is easy to manage and is a very customizable platform."
"With the reporting feature you can get all the incoming and outgoing call details."
"This unit is perfect for small-medium sized businesses looking for a solid and reliable cloud-based telephony system."
"Mobility features and remote extensions work well."
"3CX Live Chat lets me speak with my colleagues and suppliers from anywhere."
"They can increase their productivity with the many options that 3CX gives them."
"I can say firsthand that the reason we work with Avaya as a user and as a business partner is because it's by far the most stable and scalable platform among unified communications platforms in the market."
"I like the share information function."
"It is very easy to jump from one communication channel to another one. It is pretty clear and very easy to do. That is the thing that I like the most from Avaya and their suite."
"We use the solution for team collaboration, document sharing, and video conferencing services. It integrates well with on-premises video conferencing systems and supports chatting through text messaging and instant messaging."
"In terms of functionality, it has some interesting features that I haven't seen in other solutions like content rewind where you can see content from the beginning of the meeting even though you weren't there when it commenced."
"Interesting collaboration features."
 

Cons

"We had sync issues between the mobile clients and the desktop phones which needed vigorous testing and fault finding."
"The call logs/reporting functions need some improvement and are still very basic."
"It needs the option for the CS rep to stop recording when a credit card number is recited by the customer."
"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."
"Message management in 3CX Live Chat is a little tricky."
"Support for more desktop phones as a standard would be helpful. They are heavy on Yealink phones and when moving from legacy systems we find it a bit cumbersome to add those phones on to 3CX and then auto-provisioning becomes quite a task."
"It would be great if the web meeting functionality could be extended to enable users to call standards-based video conferencing systems."
"There should be an option to save some extensions."
"There isn't too much information about Avaya solutions and that could be very much improved. If you want some product support, you have to go through a business partner in Latin America and there aren't many partners."
"The installation could be more straightforward. I would like it to work with other meeting software in the next release."
"There isn't too much information about Avaya solutions and that could be very much improved."
"Increase in participant numbers reduces quality of video and sound."
"Unfortunately, the video conferencing, both audio and video were not as good as Webex or Microsoft."
"Avaya IX Meetings' deployment is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no add-on costing on the standard fees."
"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."
"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."
"Switching from POTS or PRI to SIP Trunk save the customer real costs. ROI is seen in less than a year."
"We used a yearly license depending on the customer's requirements, and the customers did not complain about the pricing."
"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."
"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."
"Avaya IX Meetings' licensing costs are monthly."
"I'm using a subscription. The price is reasonable. It costs about $20 a year."
