Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It is SIP compliant to multiple SIP phone vendors, though it is not locked into a proprietary vendor.""It’s straightforward to set up.""It lets you see how many calls you made, the time you called, and how many minutes you spent on the phone.""The integration between the video and voice is the most valuable solution.""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.""3CX is useful and easy to use. I can talk to my colleagues from anywhere.""We have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable."

"I have found a lot of virtual meeting solutions seem the same. Some might work a little bit better, it is difficult to pinpoint a particular functionality that's widely different, they all have screen sharing and video in-voice.""The implmentation of Webex is simple. It does not a lot of time.""Webex has one-click calling, which makes things easier. You click, and it automatically dials in to the meetings without pressing additional buttons. It's easy for people who aren't on WebEx. That was helpful.""I have found Webex to be stable.""The most valuable feature is that you can host presentations with a lot of attendees.""Webex has frequent updates and it is very good.""A valuable feature of Webex is that it's good for direct communication. In general, I'm satisfied.""The product is quite secure. Other products, such as Zoom, have had security issues raised in the media."

Cons
"Its features for scheduling and generating reports need improvement.""The analytics need to have a granular depth on how the customer details and the data sends information through this medium.""Having a video call would be a nice idea.""There should be an option to save some extensions.""Message management in 3CX Live Chat is a little tricky. You can transfer a conversation to someone else if it comes into a group, but it isn't always easy to return the conversation to the group.""It could be better in terms of providing more options for call recording.""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.""The solution was simple to install, but the configuration was not as simple. The full installation process took a few days."

"To make Webex more competitive, I would suggest lowering the price and providing some of the same features that are in Teams or Zoom.""The product's price could be better.""An opportunity they could benefit from would be a version that includes meeting transcription. I usually use a third-party product to do transcription.""It would be great if they had a directory that you could consult for the meeting dial-in numbers.""The accessibility of the share screen option provided by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""This service could be improved by implementing integration with Microsoft platforms. If you are on a call with Webex, you can get a call from Teams or Skype for Business without receiving any indication.""The GUI of Webex should be improved. The connectivity for putting people inside the meetings or entering meetings is to be improved.""Webex's Bluetooth functionality could be better. For example, I use Webex on my Android mobile phone and connect with Bluetooth. It connects, but I cannot speak through the Bluetooth microphone and earphones with Webex. It's always disabled. I don't know why."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Switching from POTS or PRI to SIP Trunk save the customer real costs. ROI is seen in less than a year."
  • "The price of the solution is reasonable. There are a few license options and we are using an enterprise license."
  • "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."
  • "We used a yearly license depending on the customer's requirements, and the customers did not complain about the pricing."
  • "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."
