Is excellent for video conferencing, with a very high usage rate
There are a few technical aspects that might need assistance, such as enabling Vidyo inside a web browser as opposed to using it via an SDK in an app. Occasionally, issues can arise when using video conferencing in third-party applications. Feedback from developers could be beneficial for improving these areas.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I’m not saying it’s the best system in the world, but at the price point, it is exceptional value when looking at the features you receive with the Pro licence."
"We have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable."
"Integrated Web Meeting and Video Conferencing with mobile app is a big sales feature."
"The most valuable features of 3CX Live Chat are the integration with our existing CRM allowing us to get all of the numbers synced together, the communication aspect of the solution was always working very well, the sound quality was perfect, we were able to log into the application to check which users were using the solution and if they were in a call or not, and additionally, the solution integrates well with other CRMs."
"I can safely say that there is nothing that beats the ease of deployment, functionality and stability of 3CX."
"I have been using it in my environment, and if you use it, you have to say that VoIP can't get any simpler than this."
"3CX is a reliable solution."
"Mobility features and remote extensions work well."
"Vidyo is excellent for video conferencing, with a very high usage rate alongside Epic Solutions."
"There is no reason not to use cloud-based solutions these days (such as Zoom, Fuze, GoToMeeting or even Lync/Office365)."
"I think for the companies with remote offices, they will experience a serious saving on travel costs."
 

Cons

"The analytics need to have a granular depth on how the customer details and the data sends information through this medium."
"iPhone users found it difficult to use the mobile application when working offsite."
"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."
"It would be really good to have an expanded range of VoIP handset hardware to include more Cisco phones."
"Some customers want to integrate a CRM solution with 3CX, but it's not compatible."
"They need to embed a help or chat feature."
"3CX should combine the basic version and the enterprise version so that there is only one standard version instead of two."
"There are a few technical aspects that might need assistance, such as enabling Vidyo inside a web browser as opposed to using it via an SDK in an app."
"As a partner, I don't have direct access to Vidyo support document resourses."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"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 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 is no add-on costing on the standard fees."
