Pros
"3CX is useful and easy to use. I can talk to my colleagues from anywhere.""The dashboards and interface of the solution are very good, they have covered most of the main features needed for our needs.""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.""3CX is a reliable 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 easy to use. It's pretty a much regular PBX system.

Cons
"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.""I need a robust provider who can help me use Live Chat. Unfortunately, I have to move from one provider to another because they don't have enough capabilities to maintain good service.""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.""It could be better in terms of providing more options for call recording.""Reporting and integration are the main challenges, which are at the mid-level or in the enterprise depending on the system that we choose.""Its features for scheduling and generating reports need improvement.""Having a video call would be a nice idea.""The solution could improve the web meeting feature. There is a lot of competition from all the other applications that are out there, such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom. I find I do not use it that much. I do not know how much effort they are putting into the web meeting part of the program but it could improve."
