Friendly interface supports different hold messages but call flow design and reporting need improvements
The call flow design is extremely basic compared to 3CX and needs variable and loop capabilities to begin with. Calls using 'control' extensions do not move the call to the next point, and require manual 'follow_me' adjustments in Asterisk. Reporting is very basic. Live view and control of actual calls in the dashboard is missing and it only shows the call count.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"3CX is useful and easy to use. I can talk to my colleagues from anywhere."
"This solution gives our customers mobility. They can use their phone system everywhere. The other key feature is the security."
"3CX is a reliable solution."
"The integration between the video and voice is the most valuable solution."
"It is SIP compliant to multiple SIP phone vendors, though it is not locked into a proprietary vendor."
"3CX has strong reporting and management features. You can manage the capabilities of a call center with queues and timers. It's a complete solution."
"Mobility features and remote extensions work well."
"The most valuable features are the friendly user interface, the ability to support different hold messages per department, and the good desktop and mobile clients."
 

Cons

"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."
"Reporting and integration are the main challenges, which are at the mid-level or in the enterprise depending on the system that we choose."
"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."
"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."
"Having a video call would be a nice idea."
"The support team can appear to be condescending."
"The analytics need to have a granular depth on how the customer details and the data sends information through this medium."
"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."
"The call flow design is extremely basic compared to 3CX and needs variable and loop capabilities to begin with."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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