Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration between the video and voice is the most valuable solution."

"3CX has a graphical user interface, and this is awesome because I don't have to have an IT person from my company in my customer's environment to set up and configure 3CX for my client. I just train the customer."

"3CX is a reliable solution."

"With the reporting feature you can get all the incoming and outgoing call details."

"3CX has strong reporting and management features. You can manage the capabilities of a call center with queues and timers. It's a complete solution."

"The most valuable features of 3CX include meetings, IVR, and the workflow personalization of the service desk activity."

"This solution gives our customers mobility. They can use their phone system everywhere. The other key feature is the security."

"Mobility features and remote extensions work well."

More 3CX Live Chat pros

"Can integrate with a lot of gateways in voice."

Cons

"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."

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

"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. This would allow us to make it look more like part of our solution, rather than a third-party application."

"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."

"The support team can appear to be condescending."

"3CX Live Chat could improve by having better integration with other solutions because we had multiple calls in which information was not extracted correctly. We had to modify their names, and some other data needed to be sorted out for a better understanding of the calls."

"Its features for scheduling and generating reports need improvement."

More 3CX Live Chat cons

"Customer support can sometimes be delayed."

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 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."

"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 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."

"Switching from POTS or PRI to SIP Trunk save the customer real costs. ROI is seen in less than a year."

"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."
