User-Friendly Interface and Handy Phone Extension Integration
What do you like best about the product?
The user friendly interface is one of the major eye catching feature-one of the best features is that your personal phone can be connected via an extension keeping you connected to the main office line.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only disadvantage would be the constant glitching when adding new audio hardware- manually you need to change it since some times it tends to switch between computer integrated speaker rather than the headset
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication on the go and the back office is one of the major issues- multiple calls come in every day and we always have someone available on the lines which is easier with 3cx
Flexible and Reliable, but Admin Usability and Reporting Need Work
What do you like best about the product?
3CX is a solid phone system for organizations that want flexibility and control without the cost of traditional telecom solutions.
It offers strong call handling features, softphone options, and integrations that work well for distributed teams. Setup is generally straightforward for users with basic technical knowledge, and once configured, the system is reliable for day-to-day operations. The web client and mobile apps make it easy for staff to take calls from anywhere.

What do you dislike about the product?
Where 3CX can fall short is usability for non-technical administrators. Some configuration and troubleshooting tasks are not intuitive and may require outside support or documentation. Reporting is functional but limited, often requiring exports to get the insights needed for management review.
Overall, 3CX is a good fit for organizations that value customization and cost control and are comfortable managing a more hands-on system.

> I dislike that some advanced features and customizations can be limited, and troubleshooting can sometimes be less intuitive compared to more mature or fully cloud-native phone systems.

User-Friendly, Yet Setup is a Hurdle
What do you like best about the product?
I like 3CX for its ease of use and its user-friendly interface. It's also great for making outbound calls and facilitates communication with my Australian clients, making the process easier and faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface, though user-friendly, doesn't work like an actual phone system. The calling feature requires going through a lot, and it doesn't really look or function like a traditional phone system. Also, the text messaging system is another area that could use improvement. It took me a long time to set it up, so it wasn't easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use 3CX to make communication with my Australian clients easier and faster, especially being based in The Philippines.
Feature-Rich, Robust, and Hard to Beat
What do you like best about the product?
No product is more feature rich and robust as 3cx.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost. Aside from that—which honestly isn’t too bad—I don’t see any real downsides, other than the occasional security flaw or incident.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us keep all our communications—whether by phone, text, or chat—in one platform, making communication more efficient and streamlining our business processes.
Cost-Saving, Easy-to-Use Unified Communications with Strong CRM Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
3CX is best for its cost savings flexibility and ease of use. It also delivers unified communications along with strong CRM integrations, making it a powerful, affordable, and modern alternative to traditional phone systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
3CX often focus on frequent, disruptive updates, a perceived shift away from user-friendly perpetual licenses toward recurring revenue, unreliable performance in the mobile app, and support that is either poor or available only on a commercial basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
3CX addresses the challenges of outdated, expensive, and inflexible phone systems by providing a unified, software-based communications platform. It brings calls, chat, and messaging together in one place, which can lead to meaningful cost savings, improved mobility for remote work, and simpler day-to-day management. It also helps support better customer experiences through capabilities such as CRM integration and unified communications.
Constant Changes and Costly Support
What do you like best about the product?
I like the 3CX GUI interface, it is nice, accessible, and understandable.
What do you dislike about the product?
They change prices and features every 5 minutes, which is unbearable. Support is also an issue; previously, we had access to support for free, but now everything is paid. The management of 3CX is pathetic with the removal of perpetual licenses. Prices are constantly increasing and features change arbitrarily. Our operator is no longer on the list of certified operators, which complicates things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its GUI interface is accessible and understandable.
Efficient and User-Friendly App
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, practical, efficient. I use it every day for my office and also extension lines with my coworker.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tech support, try to reach out and never got an answer. Do not complain cause is a free app.

Having a US line number and able to be used in foreign countries. Customers can call me wherever I have internet access like is they were calling me locally.

Up to this point, 3CX has fulfilled the needs we have as a company.

Effortless Digital Calling, Always Connected
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about 3CX is that it truly functions as a digital phone. It's very easy to use—once I open the app, I don't have to keep logging into web pages repeatedly. If I need to go somewhere, I can simply take my laptop with me and stay connected through 3CX, as long as I have a stable internet connection.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I find particularly frustrating is how difficult it is to edit existing contacts. In fact, it's often simpler to just delete them and create new ones instead.
