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

"I can, to date, not find any system that gets even close to the feature richness and low cost of 3CX."
"3CX Live Chat lets me speak with my colleagues and suppliers from anywhere."
"3CX is easy to use. It's pretty a much regular PBX system. It is quite easy to configure aspects of it, and it has a good soft client."
"It lets you see how many calls you made, the time you called, and how many minutes you spent on the phone."
"Because it’s quite easy to deploy and operate, it has allowed us better disaster recovery options for our clients."
"Customer Service: Great - the national distributor is really good at showing us love, and works with us to resolve problems that we encounter."
"We have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of 3CX Live Chat are the ability to go straight to a call or screen-sharing and creating multiple channels from the same chat widget effectively. The ability to raise a call straight out to the cloud is fantastic, it is really useful. Additionally, it integrates very well with WordPress."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"Overall, the solution is useful for running virtual meetings seamlessly."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"We don't have any link issues whether you use it to browser, or use it as a client. It worked perfectly fine for us."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"GoToMeeting is an awesome product and it worked perfectly fine for us whether we used it through a browser or as a client."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
 

Cons

"The Android and iPhone clients are great options but don't always work perfectly, even on wifi."
"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."
"Reporting and integration are the main challenges, which are at the mid-level or in the enterprise depending on the system that we choose."
"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."
"The reporting and dashboards of 3CX could be improved."
"Once we establish the system and do the initial configuration, some configurations will be fixed. However, if we need to change those configurations, the option is to do a reinstallation. Otherwise, we cannot do anything."
"3CX should combine the basic version and the enterprise version so that there is only one standard version instead of two."
"In the next release, I would for it to incorporate files more efficiently from one computer to another when we covert things and send them out. I'm not sure if it's capable of that."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"It is not so stable."
"The new version crashes my ISP. I don't like the new version."
"I don't know whether it is an issue or not but my boss was asking me if person one is in one room, and another person wanted to use another room at the same time, I don't know whether it is possible."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no add-on costing on the standard fees."
"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."
"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 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 used a yearly license depending on the customer's requirements, and the customers did not complain about the pricing."
"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 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."
"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."
"Negotiate for discounts."
