"Great VOIP PBX platform / Reliable / Functional / Can grow as your business needs evolve"
What do you like best about 3CX?

3cx is a mature, feature rich VOIP PBX platform. It can grow with your business as needs change over time, so you can start with a low-cost / smaller feature set if your needs are modest; and as time passes if your needs grow it is trivial to change license / annual subscription fee to accommodate the needs change over time. (ie, more concurrent calls, more enterprise or call centre style features etc). The 'base version' is modest price and exceptionally feature rich as a 'starting point'. It can integrate easily with many different SIP trunk providers for call termination / and it works with a diverse range of handset hardware if you want physical phone handsets. It has a fantastic 'soft phone app' you can install on smartphones if your users do not want physical 'office phone handsets'. And also a very functional web-app version to run on your Laptop/PC with a headset etc. Overall - highly recommended - great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

it is hard to dislike anything - the product is feature rich, and it works well. It is competitively priced for non-free PBX solutions. It has a reasonable price curve that allows modest entry cost / allows growth over time if your needs evolve. In the past they had a different kind of free-license which was 'insane good value' (ie, it cost $0 as a loss leader to get people to start using the product and this was changed recently so the 'free version' is not available quite the same way as before. however, that being said, they still have a free loss-leader version of the product, which is fantastic value for a SMB that wants to get started on a VoipPBX platform with a zero cost point of entry. So really cannot complain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We’ve been using 3CX successfully for years"
What do you like best about 3CX?

I still really appreciate how easy it is to manage and transfer calls internally between team members. In addition, the system has proven to be very stable and reliable, even as our usage has grown.

Over time, we’ve also relied more on call recording, which has been very useful for quality checks, training, and resolving customer questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

There haven’t really been any major pain points for us and overall, our experience with 3CX has remained very positive. The mobile app, in particular, has worked well and allows our team to handle calls even while on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Practical and Intuitive, but Needs Aesthetic Improvements"
What do you like best about 3CX?

I value the practicality of 3CX, which makes operations much more efficient and easy to manage. The platform's optimization is remarkable, with a lightweight app that doesn't consume many resources yet still offers comprehensive functionalities. Additionally, it is intuitive, which facilitates communication between departments within the company, integrating the different areas in a cohesive and efficient manner. I also appreciate how simple and quick the initial setup of 3CX was, allowing for a smooth transition without disrupting daily activities. The confidence in the product is so high that I would give it a score of 10 on a recommendation scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

I think that 3CX could improve in aesthetics. Currently, I miss more native aesthetic options to customize the app to my liking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"3CX is easy to setup and very user friendly"
What do you like best about 3CX?

As the administrator of our 3CX system, I find the implementation and configuration process to be very straightforward and easy to follow. Setting it up does not take much time, allowing you to get started quickly. I appreciate the availability of a cloud option, which eliminates the need for on-premise hardware. Physical handsets are also unnecessary, thanks to the mobile client and desktop software. Their customer support is excellent, with knowledgeable staff who resolve issues promptly. We rely on 3CX for all our communication needs. Integrating it into our existing network is simple and can be completed in under an hour. Users often take advantage of 3CX for more than just calls, using it for chats and meetings as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

I am frustrated by how often support is withdrawn for third-party requirements such as handsets and SIP Trunk providers. If you happen to use a third-party option that is not officially supported, you won't get any assistance with configuration or troubleshooting issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Monika R of 3CX

Hello Nigel! Thanks for your review. We're glad to hear 3CX has been easy to set up, integrates well with your network and supports your daily communication needs across calls, chat, and meetings.

Regarding third-party devices and providers, our support policy clearly states that we do not offer assistance for unsupported hardware or SIP trunks. This is because we maintain a verified list of supported devices and providers that we work closely with to ensure full compatibility and reliability. For unsupported setups, we recommend reaching out to a 3CX Partner from our global network, who may be able to assist further.

Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

"3CX: User-Friendly, Flexible, and Cost-Effective Communication Solution"
What do you like best about 3CX?

3CX is extremely user-friendly and offers great flexibility for both remote and on-site communication. The interface is intuitive, setup is simple, and it integrates seamlessly with existing systems like CRM tools. The call quality is excellent, and features like web conferencing, call recording, and mobile app support make it very convenient for teams working in hybrid environments. It’s also cost-effective compared to traditional PBX systems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

Sometimes, setting up the initial configuration and firewall can be challenging, especially for users who lack technical experience. The mobile app works, but it would benefit from greater stability and responsiveness, particularly when the internet connection is weak. Furthermore, customer support could improve its response time when dealing with more complex technical problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Monika R of 3CX

"3CX Simplifies Communication, but Mobile App and CRM Integration Need Improvement"
What do you like best about 3CX?

As a Sales Executive, I like how 3CX makes client and team communication easy and reliable. The call quality is great, and having calls, chat, and video in one platform saves time. The mobile app is convenient for staying connected while working remotely or traveling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

The mobile app sometimes lags with a weak internet connection. Setting up new extensions can be a bit technical, and more CRM integration options would make it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Monika R of 3CX

Hey Shipra! Thanks for your review. We're glad to hear 3CX has helped streamline your communication and supported your work on the go.

"3CX : A Centre Solution"
What do you like best about 3CX?

First, I liked about 3CX is its user friendly interface. We can easily use its management console. It also have amazing features like call recording, web conferencing, video chats and also integrate with other platforms like facebook etc for chat. In today's world, It is important to provide wide network of partners and various channels and 3CX is one of them . Also easy to install on cloud like private or public. The main important thing is data confidential in which our data is secure and confidential means no data uploads to third parties. Overall, 3CX is easy to control, manage and use with amazing facilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

No doubt, 3CX provides best features to us but sometimes it has compatibility issues. Earlier, I use my old device in which I have some minor SIP device connecting issue. But later, 3CX's support helped me for resolving this type of issue. So , Users need to ensure their current hardware is compatible to avoid additional setup complexity. And according to my observation, 3CX mobile app have inconsistent quality of call and delay in notifications. They also provide limitations in their free version so need to upgrade for high business. I hope, they will fix in their new updates in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Monika R of 3CX
