A good and decent meeting platform that stores recordings of meetings
We use Zoho Meeting for booking meetings and demo calls for product review updates The most valuable feature of Zoho Meeting is how it stores recordings and how we can get those recordings by order. It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Reception dashboard is excellent. I can see all the calls on the system and can pull back calls that are going into voicemail or transfer by drag and drop."
"The most valuable features of 3CX include meetings, IVR, and the workflow personalization of the service desk activity."
"This unit is perfect for small-medium sized businesses looking for a solid and reliable cloud-based telephony system."
"We have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable."
"Fully equipped soft PABX without hidden extras."
"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."
"It makes the decision a no-brainer, you get so much more for your money with this solution."
"LiveChat makes it easy to respond to your customers and connect with them."
"The API is much more flexible than other platforms."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Meeting is how it stores recordings and how we can get those recordings by order."
"I like the tool's video call feature."
"One of the most valuable features of Zoho Meeting is how user-friendly it is. It also has some security features."
"I switched to Zoho because it's convenient and offers a whole package."
 

Cons

"3CX should combine the basic version and the enterprise version so that there is only one standard version instead of two."
"Reporting and integration are the main challenges, which are at the mid-level or in the enterprise depending on the system that we choose."
"Having a video call would be a nice idea."
"The solution could improve the web meeting feature. There is a lot of competition from all the other applications that are out there, such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom. I find I do not use it that much. I do not know how much effort they are putting into the web meeting part of the program but it could improve."
"Support could be better, especially when you have an emergency and need assistance."
"There are a handful of simple features – BLF to handle parking orbits, handling of custom SIP headers."
"Message management in 3CX Live Chat is a little tricky. You can transfer a conversation to someone else if it comes into a group, but it isn't always easy to return the conversation to the group."
"For firewall: Its advice is to disable the firewall to allow voice to pass through the network, but there are instants when you don't disable the firewall for security reasons that NAC port comes in."
"It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting video call."
"They do not have phone support."
"Maybe the price could be lowered, but people will want a lower price forever."
"I would like to see a chat feature in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 is no add-on costing on the standard fees."
"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."
"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."
"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 used a yearly license depending on the customer's requirements, and the customers did not complain about the pricing."
"In India, Professional Zoho Meeting for up to 10 participants costs INR 125 per month, and for up to 250 participants, it costs INR 750 per month if billed annually."
"The product is not costly like other applications."
"Compared to other solutions, the price is not the lowest, but I can say it's competitive. My organization pays for a yearly license for Zoho."
