Real-time chat has boosted customer satisfaction and improves team efficiency and lead conversion
We could improve with better advanced chatbot customization, stronger AI-powered conversations, automatic deep CRM and third-party integration, more detailed analytics and reporting, additional customization options for chats, and improvements to mobile app performance and workflow automation. Regarding security, it is essential for customer-facing interactions. I would point out the real-time data lag, which is a significant gap, and enhancements in system reporting and live data update metrics are necessary. We also miss deep customer journey insights, along with user interface improvements, mobile widgets, and agent experience enhancements, especially with security and privacy configurations. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate 3CX Live Chat as an 8 because it has excellent control over the PBX license while enabling instant transitions from chat to voice and video calls. The reasons for losing those two points include basic analytics, widget customization options, and limited standalone chat tools compared to its competitors, which have higher market shares. With the right developers, they could excel in this area. 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. Reliability and security glitches are significant drawbacks.

Great monitoring and chat features
I mainly use Comm100 for live chat between users The most valuable features are the ability to monitor users and to have a real-time internal chat with someone while they're chatting with someone on the outside. The system's stability could use an upgrade, it has a tendency to glitch sometimes.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have multiple branches countrywide and we all connect to one seamless system for all our communication needs."
"It is SIP compliant to multiple SIP phone vendors, though it is not locked into a proprietary vendor."
"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."
"Reception dashboard is excellent. I can see all the calls on the system and can pull back calls that are going into voicemail or transfer by drag and drop."
"3CX Live Chat works amazing and having a good connection will allow the best experience while using the solution."
"LiveChat makes it easy to respond to your customers and connect with them."
"Prior to using this solution, there were difficulties with communication between the client and the distributor and our sales team and marketing team, which were improved after deployment because we integrated this voice solution with the video solution and allowed our distributors, clients, and customers to log in to our portal to directly interact with our salespersons."
"Excellent Windows based PBX constantly updated with new features and great support."
"The most valuable features are the ability to monitor users and to have a real-time internal chat with someone while they're chatting with someone on the outside."
 

Cons

"3CX has some other limitations. One of our teams totally stopped using 3CX because they couldn't use it to capture the recordings of the conversations they were having with the client and also sync images on HubSpot CRM."
"Having a video call would be a nice idea."
"For firewall: Its advice is to disable the firewall to allow voice to pass through the network, but there are instants when you don't disable the firewall for security reasons that NAC port comes in."
"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. The full installation process took a few days."
"More granular management of call recording is needed."
"Not really much to dislike, the product is solid but you do need to keep your Windows server updated."
"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."
"The system's stability could use an upgrade, it has a tendency to glitch sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no add-on costing on the standard fees."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. There are a few license options and we are using an enterprise license."
