Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It’s straightforward to set up.""The solution is stable.""3CX is useful and easy to use. I can talk to my colleagues from anywhere.""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.""This solution gives our customers mobility. They can use their phone system everywhere. The other key feature is the security.""We have not had any bugs or glitches, the solution is stable.""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 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."

Cons
"It needs the option for the CS rep to stop recording when a credit card number is recited by the customer.""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.""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.""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.""It could be better in terms of providing more options for call recording.""The support team can appear to be condescending.""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."
