Highly recommend 3CX

  • April 09, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how 3CX is not only an easy to use product for the user, it's also simple to setup and constantly moving forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably the least helpful aspect of 3CX currently, is the lack of SMS messaging. However this is on the roadmap and in the works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We migrated to 3CX last year, and so glad we did. A lot of the features that sounded exciting but not sure if we would use, we now use daily. Examples are video meetings, conference call in number, instant messaging, and the biggest plus has been remote workers able to use softphones.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it. I researched for an entire year, knowing that I had 18 months before I needed to decommission our previous system. I ended up deciding between Asterisk and 3CX. The difference was then described to me as the difference between a project and a product. I chose the product, 3CX, and have been so happy I did.

Good System - Great for what we need

  • April 09, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to set up and configure.

Simple to modify and there are lots of ways that you can manage queues etc by using the Call flow designer app.

A lot of our colleagues have been working remotely lately and it's been great to be able to give them access to the soft client on their mobiles to be able to work remotely
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been some issues with updates in the past but we haven't had any more issues with updates for a while.

There are a couple of things that we know are changeable but it's not always straight forward how to change them, luckily with the forums and blogs there's lots of resource out there to help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a good way to be able to manage our phone queues - this has been the biggest achievement from using 3CX - it's also much easier to manage than other software we have tried to use.

The API integrations on the call flow designer has allowed us to build our own API to tell whether or not a customer is classed as a priority customer to route the call properly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
First and foremost you need to find the right partner, I would strongly recommend to any looking to administer the product to look into the certifications they offer - the study material in here gives you a solid grounding to be able to set up and run easily.

It makes VOIP simple to scale

  • April 09, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We evaluated all the major players in the market, and 3CX won in almost every category.

We chose 3CX mainly for because it allowed us to run this in our data centers and control security and access to features better than other cloud providers. We've been able to scale well past 600 users and the uptime has been phenominal. The ability to easily create and provision users both the offices and remotely makes 3CX the best system out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
The update process needs to be tweaked to eliminate downtime - we are a 24x7x365 environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Cisco Call Manager, and moves/add/changes used to be done by an outsourced company costing us $60k a year. 3CX is not handled 100% in-house by our existing team and has led to quicker turn-around on telecom tickets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

3CX experience as an MSP hosting multiple instances for customer

  • April 09, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to deploy and keep updated if you run it on the Debian version. The GUI is intuitive and makes management a breeze. The associated costs fit the SMB space well and has great features for remote workers built in which is particularly pertinent in the current situation.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no useful single pane management if you host multiple instances. There used to be a cloud version which gave you centralized management but that went away in more recent versions. It would be really useful to have a single place to go where you could push updates to multiple instances rather than having to manage each instance separately. Having to log in 50 different places to patch/update creates a lot of extra work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As mentioned above, during the current crisis 3CX provides a lot of benefit to our customers as businesses need employees to be reachable and able to handle business calls while also staying safe in their homes.
