Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"3CX has strong reporting and management features; you can manage the capabilities of a call center with queues and timers, and it is a complete solution."
"The management interface is hands-down the easiest I've ever had to use."
"3CX is easy to use, is quite easy to configure, has a good soft client, and overall, it's a good system for small-scale setups with a couple hundred extensions."
"Mobility features and remote extensions work well."
"The dashboards and interface of the solution are very good, they have covered most of the main features needed for our needs."
"I can safely say that there is nothing that beats the ease of deployment, functionality and stability of 3CX."
"3CX Live Chat is easy to manage and is a very customizable platform."
"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."
"In summary, this product worked well for what I needed to do."
"The power of the chat function is good in terms of sharing, pasting, and the like, as it is very full-featured."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to talk with people in real-time, instead of sending texts."
"Everyone in our company uses Cisco Jabber for phone calls and internal chat."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it shows who is available and who is not, as well as what their current status is."
"It works fine feature-wise. The Cisco Jabber features that we use work okay."
"This product makes my life much easier by shortening the distance between my boss and the rest of my team."
 

Cons

"More granular management of call recording is needed."
"Having a video call would be a nice idea."
"It needs the option for the CS rep to stop recording when a credit card number is recited by the customer."
"Yes, we have had many problems with this product, but step-by-step, they fix them, because this is a new product."
"The solution was simple to install, but the configuration was not as simple. The full installation process took a few days."
"It could be better in terms of providing more options for call recording."
"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."
"I presume that very small businesses would have a tough time justifying the investment."
"There are issues in switching from one type of communication system to another. When I connect my wired earphone or Bluetooth earphone, Cisco Jabber doesn't switch automatically. There are some user experience issues that need to be fixed."
"Cisco Jabber is not a collaborative tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
