Pros
"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.""3CX is a reliable solution.""Easy management console access through web browsers with a good interface to Outlook and multiple CRM systems.""We have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable.""Mobility features and remote extensions work well.""The integration between the video and voice is the most valuable solution.""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."

Cons
"There should be an option to save some extensions.""The analytics need to have a granular depth on how the customer details and the data sends information through this medium.""You cannot make a group call on 3CX. That feature would make my life easier because I could talk to two suppliers or a supplier and management together. I wouldn't need to end the call and call another person.""The solution was simple to install, but the configuration was not as simple. The full installation process took a few days.""Having a video call would be a nice idea.""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.""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.""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."

"Some features take a lot of steps to configure, so having areas where a few clicks can configure a feature for a user would be nice.""An improvement option could be to incorporate the Voicea solution with Communication Manager, allowing it to make a translation between different languages automatically in a conversation."
