Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It lets you see how many calls you made, the time you called, and how many minutes you spent on the phone.""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 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.""The integration between the video and voice is the most valuable solution.""The dashboards and interface of the solution are very good, they have covered most of the main features needed for our needs.""It’s straightforward to set up.""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.""Easy management console access through web browsers with a good interface to Outlook and multiple CRM systems."

"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones.""We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface.""The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions.""All of their features are good. They are more or less equivalent to the competition. There's less disturbance, less jitter, the voice is always good even at a low bandwidth.""I can extract the activity and the attendance reports, along with every single question that was asked during the webinar, which is a feature that we highly value."

Cons
"The solution was simple to install, but the configuration was not as simple. The full installation process took a few days.""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.""It needs the option for the CS rep to stop recording when a credit card number is recited by the customer.""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.""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 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.""The analytics need to have a granular depth on how the customer details and the data sends information through this medium."

More 3CX Live Chat Cons →

"The chat window and using polls is easier in Zoom than compared to GoToWebinar. Make it simpler and easier to publish polls on the fly would improve the solution.""GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints.""Some of my friends also use GoToWebinar to collect clients for affiliate marketing. In those cases, they found some features were missing with respect to some of the competition. And the worst part is the price.""The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers.""The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."
