Not only does it allow you to use it anywhere, you can "appear to be calling from anywhere." Great for companies trying to establish global presence without actual real estate. Local DIDs can also help with marketing campaign tracking.

I am a firm believer of the 3CX product but I do see a change in tech support. Some policies, such as no support for using custom templates. While 3CX touts scalability, at the same time times you hands. I would like to see a change in policy that assists when custom…

We have a client that lives and breathes on reports and recordings. He switched laptops once and did have his autosaved password. He said that was the worst day as if someone cut off an appendage.

Update to my original review. For some reason hot desking disappeared in v15 but returned in v15.5 sp2. Now the hotdesking is native and in my opinion easier to setup.

Transparently Licensed. I have to give a double thumbs down on licensing coming from cases where licenses are upgraded and you have to uninstall and reinstall with very careful steps. The other item is feeling pressure to use 3CX FQDN. You can use your own if you don't…

Add virtualization to this with a fail over system setup and this is a rock solid system. Not 5 9's as I hear people tout but reliable enough that it shouldn't matter.

PRO: So far I am enjoying the version 15.5 running as a Debian Virtual Machine. Virtualization has allowed for redundant snapshots that allow us to rebuild in case of a failure within minutes CON: The new pricing models are confusing, not so much as what is advertised…

Version 15 works great on Linux too. I have been pushing for years for them to use NGINX and finally, it is here. The performance is much faster and the CPU utilisation is low.

Upgrade from v14 to 15.5
Upgrade from v14 to 15.5 If it is newer, it must be better right?  3CX puts a gentle pressure equivalent to having your neck stepped on when it comes to upgrading.  "Upgrade now to take advantage of bug fixes", "Get the newest features."  Oh and by the way v14 is no longer…

About me

Manage internal and client network IT infrastructure and assets. I design, engineer and deploy solutions for companies looking for Unified Communications, Facility Management, Video Surveillance and Access Control systems. My passion is the integration of all the systems to work seamlessly with the client's facility. I love consulting because of the problem solving vs typical sales positions that force you to sell specific products that are not always right for the customer. The vendors I surround myself with share the same mentality so I am truly blessed.
