Enhanced service desk workflow which streamlines operations and offers strong integration capabilities
The customers use 3CX for IP telephony and call center activities. Additionally, they use 3CX for service desk activities, including integration with other ITSM products to collect data from customers who need technical support on their platforms 3CX has proven to be a good solution, particularly…

It features low latency, which is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work.
Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The monthly savings on service alone pays for the system in 8 months or less."
"3CX is useful and easy to use. I can talk to my colleagues from anywhere."
"The failover features that come on SP3 allow me to create a replica of 3CX PBX in case the 3CX fails, and the replica becomes active right away, minimizing downtime and data loss."
"One of the biggest benefits of using 3CX Live Chat in our organization is it just works."
"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."
"It’s straightforward to set up."
"The integration between the video and voice is the most valuable solution."
"Over the past several years we have deployed and worked on over 100+ 3CX platforms in all shapes, sizes and flavors, from on premise to cloud based it is our go to solution for clients needing a robust UC/PBX platform."
"When managing a conference, it is simple and easy."
"GoToMeeting is a nice program and they have a lot of features."
"It works, it's reliable."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
 

Cons

"They need to embed a help or chat feature."
"Message management in 3CX Live Chat is a little tricky."
"Having a video call would be a nice idea."
"Would be great to see the ability to break office hours down beyond single days. For example, we have clients that have standing meetings on Monday from 11:00a to 12:00p."
"Yes, we have had many problems with this product, but step-by-step, they fix them, because this is a new product."
"Bring back the multi tenant ability in version 15 and above."
"Some customers want to integrate a CRM solution with 3CX, but it's not compatible."
"It would be great if the web meeting functionality could be extended to enable users to call standards-based video conferencing systems."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"It is not so stable. They're trying to bring in too many things and make it look really complex."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"GoToMeeting breaks down a lot. We're not sure if it's breaking down, but we start getting very erratic community channels. I don't know if it's because of GoToMeeting or if we're not buying enough bandwidth. Maybe it is just the infrastructure that it's running on. I'm not quite sure."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"We have had issues with stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Switching from POTS or PRI to SIP Trunk save the customer real costs. ROI is seen in less than a year."
"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."
"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."
"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 is reasonable. There are a few license options and we are using an enterprise license."
"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."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
