Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is SIP compliant to multiple SIP phone vendors, though it is not locked into a proprietary vendor.""With the reporting feature you can get all the incoming and outgoing call details.""The solution is stable.""The call queue and reporting systems are robust compared to what you have to pay to get the same level of functionality with a competing system.""Mobility features and remote extensions work well.""3CX is easy to use. It's pretty a much regular PBX system. It is quite easy to configure aspects of it, and it has a good soft client.""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.""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 product is used very extensively in my company since we have around 1,500 users using it. Also, there is no requirement for any administrators to manage the product by the people who own the solution.""It has great communication capabilities for team chatting and web conferences.""The solution's voice services work well for our company.""The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions.""Its price is the most valuable. It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions.""An effective, functional, very good tool for controlling resources.""The groupware module is the most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature of IceWarp is the chat rooms and file-sharing, they are useful. It is convenient that everything is in one place. You can easily share and collaborate documents, making the program's unity a significant advantage."

Cons
"It could be better in terms of providing more options for call recording.""Some customers want to integrate a CRM solution with 3CX, but it's not compatible.""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 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.""Its features for scheduling and generating reports need improvement.""It needs the option for the CS rep to stop recording when a credit card number is recited by the customer.""The support team can appear to be condescending.""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."

More 3CX Live Chat Cons →

"Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail.""The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version.""I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications.""Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product.""With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome.""The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes.""It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details.""Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA."
