CTO at Trust-IT Solutions
Connecting to Webex can be technical, and it would be beneficial to have a way to connect anonymously using a simple code instead of going through microphone issues.
Web Designer / Developer & Creative Professional at Federal University of Technology Akure
Continued enhancement to the mobile experience would be valuable for users who frequently work while traveling or away from their desk.
Senior Lead DevOps Engineer at Kyndryl
 

Setup Cost

3CX Live Chat offers cost-effective, scalable pricing with straightforward licensing, praised for accommodating various business sizes and needs.
Webex's pricing is high, with limited free features, and demands competitive rates for smaller businesses, despite bundling benefits.
We have an unlimited number of engineers on 3CX Live Chat, so the licensing cost is not high, and we are happy with the pricing.
Cloud Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
The pricing structure is straightforward.
Software Engineer – Rust Systems & AI Evaluation at Turing
The licensing model doesn't work because if I want to implement it for an organization, I need to pay a per-user license, which makes it very restrictive.
Program Manager at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Since Webex is offered as a cloud-based service, deployment and onboarding were relatively straightforward compared to solutions that require significant on-premises infrastructure.
Senior Lead DevOps Engineer at Kyndryl
Webex is expensive.
CTO at Trust-IT Solutions
 

Valuable Features

Since implementing 3CX Live Chat, we have seen our average response time decline by around 55%, customer satisfaction increase by approximately 45%, and lead conversations on the website chat improve by about 35%.
Software Engineer – Rust Systems & AI Evaluation at Turing
We applied the feature of primary and secondary engineers on 3CX Live Chat, and many times the second engineer was able to get the call and respond to the issue, reducing the outage of the customer's websites and applications.
Cloud Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
It has improved the incident resolution time by getting into a call in Webex rooms and remediating the issues together as soon as possible.
Senior Consultant at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
The third feature is the AI-powered intelligence that notes down minutes of the meeting, allowing us to concentrate on the content rather than jotting down points.
Product Specialist at Frontier Business Systems
Webex takes a strong approach to AI governance and security, which is particularly important in enterprise environments where sensitive and business information is discussed and shared.
Senior Lead DevOps Engineer at Kyndryl

Featured Reviews

Ram Maruboina - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer – Rust Systems & AI Evaluation at Turing
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.

Virtual training has supported collaborative learning and now needs a simpler and clearer interface
Webex can be simplified in terms of user interface, where many features should be displayed in a compact view, with similar features grouped together and a minimalistic design helping users understand what each button does. If specific features are not needed, they should not distract you, and some features should appear as sliding elements for ease of access. Additionally, connecting to Webex can be technical, and it would be beneficial to have a way to connect anonymously using a simple code instead of going through microphone issues.
