3CX is easy to use with many great features
What do you like best about the product?
I like the CSR feature. my favorite feature I will have to say is the call back feature. We now see how many calls we lost before 3CX.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to say. I haven't had any issues so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
After we installed 3CX on our network, our CSR numbers have increased thanks to the call back feature.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend following the supported IP phones as it can get a bit tricky if you use an IP phone that is not supported. I suggest using Yealink. They work best with 3CX.

3CX
What do you like best about the product?
Setup was straight forward and easy to get going. Phone auto provisioning made setting up new extension a breeze. The licensed version was free for a year giving us plenty of time to have a real production setup to evaluate and tweak to our needs. We love the 3CX app for smartphones.
What do you dislike about the product?
When support was needed, it seemed to difficult to actually talk to someone. However, the support community on the 3CX website was very helpful. Upgrading from to Version 16 from 15 was clumsy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a better way to communicate with classrooms. Teachers needed a way to have a private conversation with the school office or parents. The phone bill using old analog lines was too high.
We were able to put a phone in every classroom using the existing data network. Using SIP trunking, our phone bill is now 70% less than what it used to be.

VOIP Phone System Flexibility with Long Term Support Behind it - Open SIP Phone Capable
What do you like best about the product?
Prior to choosing 3CX in 2011, I had experience with: Executone (traditional PBX) , 3COM NBX (early VOIP), and an open source SIP PBX. I chose 3CX for several reasons and those reasons still hold true today.
1. 3CX supports many options for SIP phones. Instead of being tied to one vendor, I can choose from several vendors for SIP based office phones and they are provisioned and managed from inside 3CX. If I decide I no longer like 3CX that investment can be utilized on a different vendor's phone system.
2. 3CX is simple enough and well documented that I could do all the setup and I did not need to hire a phone provider or IT company to do the work. This saved significant dollars at setup and in yearly local support.
3. 3CX is licensed per concurrent calls, not per number of phones you have. This frees me to add as many phones in our warehouse and other places without worrying about having to buy another license. This is big!
4. My ongoing costs are reasonable. I can choose to buy my yearly subscriptions to software upgrades separately from any official paid support. Most years I don't need paid support, so this is a cost savings.
5. The software is feature rich.
6. The software is activity developed and supported. Look at the releases, their frequency, and the features included. The parent 3CX company is doing a good job furthering their software.
7. You can run the 3CX PBX server software hosted or on-premise. Physical or virtual. Windows or Linux.
8. Nice Iphone, android, and softphone apps included
9. Webmeeting capability included

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have many complaints.
- Sometimes it seems 3CX takes something that is working well (the windows helper application for example) and does a rewrite on it and you wonder why they spent the time when it was working well. But in the end (after a few releases) the resulting product is usually better than the original and so you have to trust that they do know what they are doing!
- $$ - I looked at 3CX a few year ago for a small private elementary school and could not justify it vs a small appliance PBX from a competitor that included software upgrades at no extra cost. While it would have been easier for me to support only one platform, it was better for them to have the one time cost and so 3cx did not make sense for that smaller install.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Able to support incoming call queues
- off site extensions, voicemail to email
- use both physical lines coming to our facility (PRI in our case) as well as SIP line providers. This gives us extra disaster recovery capabilities since we can fail over between the two.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider your options. You can try the demo version, if needed, to prove out that you will be happy. If you are not comfortable with the tech side, there are reasonably priced consulting companies that specialize in 3CX.
3CX gives great flexibility since it utilizes standard SIP phones. If you don't like it, you have other options that can use the same phone hardware.
