Cons
"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.""I need a robust provider who can help me use Live Chat. Unfortunately, I have to move from one provider to another because they don't have enough capabilities to maintain good service.""It needs the option for the CS rep to stop recording when a credit card number is recited by the customer.""Having a video call would be a nice idea.""In 3CX, customization is not as easy as I would like. With 3CX Call Flow Designer, you can set up the flow of a call, deliver it to the department, and automate the process. I can't do many things with this.""The solution was simple to install, but the configuration was not as simple. The full installation process took a few days.""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.""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."

More 3CX Live Chat Cons →

"There could be more integration options for Zoom.""In the next release, I would like to see better security.""They should remove any restriction of time.""I did not see a Whiteboarding feature when using Zoom. They should add this in the next release.""The main issue with Zoom is its adoption in the business world compared to platforms like Teams.""Zoom's user interface could be improved. For example, it could have bigger buttons for elderly people.""The paid version is quite expensive. There's no middle ground between free and paid.""I would like to see Zoom integrated with other third-party services."
