"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."
"It is SIP compliant to multiple SIP phone vendors, though it is not locked into a proprietary vendor."
"3CX is a reliable solution."
"It lets you see how many calls you made, the time you called, and how many minutes you spent on the phone."
"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."
"The integration with SMS has been helpful. That's how a lot of customers prefer to communicate nowadays. It makes it convenient for the customer to reach us."
"Easy management console access through web browsers with a good interface to Outlook and multiple CRM systems."
"With the reporting feature you can get all the incoming and outgoing call details."
"Provides support for help/service desk to be knowledgeable about all eGov infrastructure and their users and technicians."
"Reduces costs throughout country inside a private network."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Reporting and integration are the main challenges, which are at the mid-level or in the enterprise depending on the system that we choose."
"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."
"It needs the option for the CS rep to stop recording when a credit card number is recited by the customer."
"The solution was simple to install, but the configuration was not as simple. The full installation process took a few days."
"Regarding to the older version we use, we need some improvements on chat, smartphones, video conference, call recording capabilities, etc."
