## Reviews

### "The most easily managed telephone systems" — 5.0/5

> **Nicat** | *2 May 2023* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I think it's great to have software, because if you have an office in a remote location and an employee works there, you need to set up communications and buy the necessary equipment for them to use the internal phone, that's what it takes. a lot of foreign funds. However, through the application, the employee uses his computer or smartphone.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes, when a new user is added, the phone book of some phones is updated late. This will take 15-20 minutes of your time
> 
> We have switched to 3CX as an organization for several months now and we are very satisfied. Before the transition, we used open source applications and it took a lot of effort. Setting up and using 3CX was very easy and hassle-free. The best part is that it supports all vendors. Establishing links with other branches or exits and redirects is very simple. Compared to other telephone systems, the prices are very affordable. The part I like the most is the mobile application. So, if you are not near your desk phone, you can easily manage the calls, even you can manage the calls from abroad. Another advantage is video conferencing, which frees you from the licensing and financial costs required for other video conferencing solutions.

### "Cuts down transfer time" — 5.0/5

> **Faith** | *29 September 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It allows you to view the availability of every employee quickly and easily, and with whom they are speaking. This helps minimize the time you spend transferring callers
> 
> **Cons**: The program will occasionally (maybe once a month,) glitch out and crash. It doesn't take long to come back up but it can be inconvenient.
> 
> Good. It has many useful functions and it is relatively easy to navigate its user interface. Easy to learn for new users.

### "3CX call features" — 3.0/5

> **Blair** | *16 October 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that 3CX is connected to our desk phones as well as our work phones. It is pretty easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish there was a text feature beyond texting only people who have the 3cx app. Also, there seems to be some connectivity issues at times.
> 
> Overall, we use this function daily as a business. It helps us reroute calls to the appropriate people and help our customers at ease.

### "Great system that works well on either deskphone or app" — 4.0/5

> **Joy** | *28 February 2025* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The mobile app is great for users that work from home or are out on site.
> 
> **Cons**: The new version is more complicated to initially set up. We had to make a number of changes to digital receptionist rules.
> 
> Works well for our small company. It's easy to go in and make changes to phone lists, Digital receptionist feature works really well for us as we need to route calls to different people throughout the week. Very user friendly

### "3CX Review" — 4.0/5

> **Ashley** | *11 June 2025* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 3CX Makes it easy to work from home. It also makes it easy to get away from your desk, if needed, and not have to miss calls.
> 
> **Cons**: 3CX can sometimes be a little delayed. Because it can sometimes be delayed before it rings to the app some calls may be missed.
> 
> Overall, I've really enjoyed 3CX. It has made working from home and away from my desk very easy. I'm not worried about missing calls, or rushing back to my desk.
