Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboards and interface of the solution are very good, they have covered most of the main features needed for our needs."

"It lets you see how many calls you made, the time you called, and how many minutes you spent on the phone."

"The most valuable features of 3CX include meetings, IVR, and the workflow personalization of the service desk activity."

"This solution gives our customers mobility. They can use their phone system everywhere. The other key feature is the security."

"The solution is stable."

"It is SIP compliant to multiple SIP phone vendors, though it is not locked into a proprietary vendor."

"3CX has a graphical user interface, and this is awesome because I don't have to have an IT person from my company in my customer's environment to set up and configure 3CX for my client. I just train the customer."

"The most valuable features of 3CX Live Chat are the ability to go straight to a call or screen-sharing and creating multiple channels from the same chat widget effectively. The ability to raise a call straight out to the cloud is fantastic, it is really useful. Additionally, it integrates very well with WordPress."

More 3CX Live Chat pros

"Can integrate with a lot of gateways in voice."

Cons

"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."

"Its features for scheduling and generating reports need improvement."

"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."

"There should be an option to save some extensions."

"There are a lot of quality of life things that could be improved. When adding extensions, you need to use the extension import setting, you can't just use an import function to update extensions. You have to delete and recreate the extension, which can have all kinds of unintended consequences."

"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."

"Some customers want to integrate a CRM solution with 3CX, but it's not compatible."

More 3CX Live Chat cons

"Customer support can sometimes be delayed."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 used a yearly license depending on the customer's requirements, and the customers did not complain about the pricing."

"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 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."

"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."
