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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can call everywhere with the IP public install on the application."
"It has made my life as the VoIP Division Manager easier."
"3CX Live Chat works amazing and having a good connection will allow the best experience while using the solution."
"The ease of deployment and web interface to manage the phone system is without parallel, the phone system can be deployed within hours, and the cost saving to the client can be up to 80% compared to other systems with the same features."
"3CX constantly adds new features based on their customers feedback and it is one of the most versatile PBX systems we have worked with."
"Customer Service: Great - the national distributor is really good at showing us love, and works with us to resolve problems that we encounter."
"I can, to date, not find any system that gets even close to the feature richness and low cost of 3CX."
"3CX technical support is top notch and the best of any vendor I've encountered so far."
"Installation was straightforward."
"We appreciate how Webex integrates with our system. When an employee completes a course, Webex documents it and updates the employee's training records."
"It made it simple for users to join, work together, and share screens."
"Having Webex has been crucial for maintaining our training programs during COVID."
"Webex Meeting's most valuable features are screen-sharing and remote access."
"During meetings, the feature of closed captioning, scripting, and recording was convenient for keeping minutes and making available the information discussed to review meeting minutes. Also to keep track of all the agreements and discussions during those meetings. It worked well with our email systems and other communication services integrated into the functionalities."
"The most valuable features for me are its stable connection, user-friendly interface, and screen-sharing files. Cisco's support is also very valuable."
 

Cons

"We would like to see continued improvements in the 3CX phone mobile apps, such as allowing for deletion of multiple voicemails, shared parking control, and disabling softphone mode."
"I would like to see is for the status to have a “time in status” field so people can see how long someone has been in that particular status."
"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."
"The outbound call reporting and wall board could be improved for the outbound call centers functions."
"We had sync issues between the mobile clients and the desktop phones which needed vigorous testing and fault finding."
"Reporting and integration are the main challenges, which are at the mid-level or in the enterprise depending on the system that we choose."
"It is not supported by Linux versions. This product is also not open source, which is not much appreciated by the guys like me, who love experimenting with the codes of any product they receive."
"It would be great if the web meeting functionality could be extended to enable users to call standards-based video conferencing systems."
"There are definitely times when the sound becomes a bit unclear, and latency is also an issue."
"Webex Meetings could be improved with more collaborative features and an archive of information like appointments and discussions that can be shared with everybody."
"There are definitely times when the sound becomes a bit unclear, and latency is also an issue. If there are too many people on video simultaneously, the whole system can slow down. The group breakout rooms are still somewhat rough around the edges. I would like to see them improve that feature so we can have more interaction in our classes."
"It could be more secure."
"The features I think can be improved are integrations with third-parties; for example, Microsoft 360 and other shared folders."
"It would be nice if there were more integrations available."
 

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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. There are a few license options and we are using an enterprise license."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is very competitive because it didn't change much since they were already in the market when other players came in."
