3CX Live Chat Valuable Features

RK
Head CX at Tecrivuelt

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. The 3CX web client recently started using WebRTC. It's not an extensive or call-centric system with very limited reporting and customization capability. Lately, there have been challenges of integration as well, but then, overall, it's a good system. I would not say that it is great for a large BPO system, but it is good for small-scale systems with a couple hundred extensions.

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. The graphical user interface helped me a lot because it gave me more time to focus on my business while my customers can do the things that intersect by themselves.

The most valuable feature of 3CX Live Chat is the ability to jump from live chat to a phone call or screen-sharing session without leaving the 3CX Live Chat application. 

We found the integration into WordPress a bonus as that is our chosen web development platform, the integration was quick, seamless and worked as desired.

The most valuable features of 3CX Live Chat are the mobile phone and desktop application which allows outside-of-office mobility, it is very user-friendly, helpful, and easy to use. On the back end, it is simple to use and navigate. They have put a lot of thought into the management side of it. In the back end, it can handle everything from a central position or central point. There are a lot of features that I do enjoy.

The dashboards and interface of the solution are very good, they have covered most of the main features needed for our needs.

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. 

From a reseller perspective, the licensing plan is great as you can increase the size of the business without necessarily having to increase the size of the license.

Feature/Functionality matches up to any competitive solution.The fact that you have "Standard" or "Professional" as your purchasing options makes the decision simple.  And, when you choose one or the other, there are no other "Ala Carte" options. You get what you get. No "extras" that end up being tacked on at the end of the sales cycle. The 3CX Phone System system simply works. The "hybrid" capabilities between Analog, SIP and PRI/MPLS are a great way to introduce either redundancy, least cost call routing and to provide for future changes/expansion/growth.

The solution is basically an online phone. It doesn't charge you anything. You can contact people easier than using normal applications.

A phone call might be interrupted by a signal or something like that. This won’t happen using the solution in question. It has powerful and secure connections.

It’s straightforward to set up.

The most valuable features of 3CX Live Chat are the integration with our existing CRM allowing us to get all of the numbers synced together. The communication aspect of the solution was always working very well, the sound quality was perfect. We were able to log into the application to check which users were using the solution and if they were in a call or not. Additionally, the solution integrates well with other CRMs.

Built natively for and runs great on Windows 7/10/Server 2008/Server 2012. Utilize SIP trunks for ISP failover scenarios - we have one customer that has a backup wireless link that fails over seamlessly. Very powerful queuing and call control options. Windows and Mobile softphone apps work great.

Pro and Enterprise editions: Discovery mainly occurs when there is a loss in the Internet network in the environment or when there is no connectivity within the deskphone and the call server. This results in discovery when there is an ongoing call between an agent and a customer.

Possible solution: The phones have to be restarted from scratch and all the possible IP addresses on the network erased and let it pick a fresh address from the call server; or you wait for a specific number of minutes for the phone to pick an address itself.

The ease of deployment, scalability/flexibility of it running on Windows. The biggest aspect that I really like about this product is the flexibility of it being on Windows. That means whatever you need to script, automate, backup, or virtualize with Windows, it can be done. This means a lot more control for the administrator, as opposed to a ‘black box’ type of system, where it’s proprietary.

The dashboard and the reporting feature are somewhat better because the reporting features are used in several instances. One of our clients, a healthcare system provider, needed to know the incoming and outgoing calls and how they will be attended to by their staff. With the reporting feature, you can get all the incoming and outgoing call details.

3CX Live Chat is easy to manage and is a very customizable platform.

It is a stable solution.

The initial setup is straightforward.

Mobile Client, Soft Phone and call recordings. I like these features because my extension is now wherever I am. Be it on my tablet, mobile phone or laptop, I can always be reached on my extension and all the features of the 3CX system are at my disposal. Call recordings are a must for me, as we also finance the sale of our hardware and, when dealing with a customer's financial information, the law requires this.

3CX is enriched with features, but mainly VOIP providers, as it allows you to establish a call from a different region with low cost rates, Digital Receptionist since you can modify the welcome message as desired and more importantly the deployment process since you may migrate the configuration from one node to another in a short period of time.

  • Call reporting

The features set the system, stands out from a lot of its competitors in the PBX market. Typically for these features, customers would pay considerably more than the 3CX pricing.

Not many other systems have these at an all-inclusive price. (They are typically additional services paid for through licencing).

I’m not saying it’s the best system in the world, but at the price point, it is exceptional value when looking at the features you receive with the Pro licence.

Reception dashboard is excellent.  I can see all the calls on the system and can pull back calls that are going into voicemail or transfer by drag and drop.

Web meeting is a feature that surprised us.  It allows us to do quick product demo or training without all the software installation normally found with GotoMeeting, TeamViewer or others.

It's a great product to work with. I have been using it in my environment, and if you use it, you have to say that VoIP can't get any simpler then this. It's for the layman use and it also comes with a free version(though this version has a few restriction). Also unlike other types of VoIP software, 3CX connects to public telephone network through independent or hosted SIP gateways.
