What do you like best about 3CX?

Their Click-To-Call system picks up almost any type of number (doesn't have to be a correct phone number) from anywhere on your screen and allows you to call it, saving you time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

1) Terrible call quality. The amount of times the call has dropped or the other party can't hear me is waaaay too high for this to be considered a reliable calling system.

2) Customer Support? I can't report quality issues for a particular call for them to see what's wrong.

3) No note-taking option. You can not take notes during the call or after the call through 3CX. You have to go into your CRM and manually find the call and input notes.

4) No ability to select from a drop-down menu the outcome of a call.

5) If you want to listen to a recording you have to request access from your admin. The admin will go through the database, find the recording, download it, and then send it to you. Other systems have the recording below the call, available at your fingertips.

Do I really need to go on? The call quality is bad, the note-taking aspect is non-existent and the list goes on. This is NOT a software for sales teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 3CX solving and how is that benefiting you?

None. 3CX creates more problems and takes up our time with manual data entry, dropped calls requiring extra phone calls etc. It's not a coincidence that every company I've worked for that had 3CX either replaced it or is in the process of replacing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Constantinos Leventis of 3CX

Hi there. We are so sorry to hear that you haven't been completely satisfied with 3CX. To respond to the points you have put forward, please see each point below:

1) Call quality is something that can be affected by many things, including the Audio Codecs used, Internet connection speeds, WiFi coverage, SIP Trunk provider, network equipment, aside of course from the PBX.

2) In continuation of the first comment, in most cases our Support Team can ask for specific troubleshooting files to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue, or at best, offer you guidance on what actions you could do to improve it. It is worth noting that with 3CX V18, we have made quite a few improvements on the Audio Quality aspects, so we would love to see you have another go at it!

3) 3CX does feature CRM integration in which the callers information will automatically be opened when you answer the incoming call. 3CX also features Call Journaling, which is the function where every call to/from your CRM contact is logged in your CRM automatically by 3CX. While 3CX does not prompt you with a message box once the call is ended to add notes, having the CRM page of your customer already opened, along with the automatic Call Journaling, does give you the ability to add the note directly into the CRM with just 1-2 clicks in most CRMs.

4) 3CX does not have this feature built into itself, but coupled with the CRM Call Journaling functionality, "call outcome" could be a field in your CRM. This way, the "call outcome" becomes more relative, as it is accompanied by your call notes and customer information.

5) This must have been an oversight of your Admin. 3CX does offer the ability for each extension to view/hear their own recordings. This can be enabled on a per-extension basis and each user can have easy access to them using any of the 3CX Apps.

Hope this helps.

What problems is 3CX solving and how is that benefiting you?

With 3cx i can make both external and internal calls using a VOIP or headphones attached on my PC.From its management dashboards,i can create the internal numbers and be able to send welcome mails to make installation for clients easier.The program is automatically launched during Windows startup and stays minimized in the task bar.The options of having call recording and being able to go back for quality control or customer issues is worthy having this system.It makes everything simple and effective as it allows me to be able to make changes to call forwarding or be able to block off holidays instead having to call any change in.

What do you like best about 3CX?

I appreciate the program's flexibility and design, which make it easily accessible. Moreover, it seamlessly integrates with various work programs, enhancing overall efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

I'm not fond of minor details, such as the inability to enlarge the phone ''box'' interface with the cursor. Additionally, the design fails to clearly indicate the use of numbers when dialing. Although I've observed some minor operational glitches, I haven't reached out to the company for feedback, so I can't consider that aspect a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 3CX solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having worked with various calling software over the years, I find that 3CX excels in solving integration issues due to its user-friendly integration process. Unlike other programs where I've encountered difficulties in retaining call recordings, I've been using 3CX for over a year without experiencing such problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Monika R of 3CX

Hello Giorgi! Thank you for your review of 3CX. We're pleased you appreciate its flexibility, design, and how well it integrates with other work programs. Regarding the minor issues you mentioned, our local 3CX Partners can provide on-site assistance to ensure you get the most out of 3CX. They're experienced in addressing such operational details and can help optimize your experience. Thanks for your feedback and for using 3CX!
