My 13+ years of experience with 3cx
I’ve been a dedicated user of 3CX for many years, experiencing every version and watching the platform evolve into the outstanding product it is today. I’ve truly loved using 3CX, but I realized I’ve never taken the time to express my gratitude to the team behind it. So, here it is—thank you for all your hard work and innovation!
Over my 27 years in business, I’ve used countless phone systems, feeling like I’ve seen it all. Then, about 13 or 14 years ago, I discovered 3CX, and I’ve never looked back. Despite being approached by numerous vendors over the years, none have come close to matching what 3CX offers. Its unbeatable combination of features, performance, extensibility, customizability, ease of use, and competitive pricing makes it second to none.
I’ve grown so accustomed to the reliability and excellence of 3CX that I almost took it for granted. Today, I realized it’s long overdue for me to acknowledge and thank the entire 3CX team for their incredible work.
Thank you for creating such an exceptional solution and for consistently delivering excellence!

Very Helpful!
The 3CX support team has been very responsive and helpful whenever we submit tickets!

Treat customers like trash!
Logged on to their forums to ask a simple question. Asked the question politely. Went back a day later to see if they had responded to it, and they'd banned my account. Also looking at how they respond to people on their forums, it's just disgusting. Go see for yourselves.
Edit: In response to 3CX response.
There was nothing disrespectful about my question. The fact you outright ban customers accounts for such minor events justifies my original review. Terrible attitude.

Upgrade from trial made easy
I needed to upgrade my license for another 2 consecutive calls. The Sales Representative was fast and accurate with the information provided. He made it very easy to do the upgrade and provided pertinentUP information. Great Job!!

I recently had the pleasure of interacting with the customer service team at 3CX, and I can't praise them enough. Their response times were impressively fast, and they took swift action to resolve my inquiries. I truly couldn't ask for more!
In addition to their superb support, the 3CX product itself is not only easy to manage but also straightforward to sell. Whenever I needed assistance, their team was right there to help.
If I could give this product and the entire customer service team TEN STARS, I absolutely would. Highly recommended!

The 3CX V18 backup can't be restored to V20 if you don't set a 'system owner'
To make matters ridiculous, V18 can't be activated to make the necessary modification, nor can the backup be restored in V20. I'm essentially dead in the water having to reconfigure this POS from scratch.
Support says it's impossible to solve. I've been using this software for ~5 years, absolutely terrible way to end it. Moving on from this, ridiculous.

This is one of the worst experiences of a previously good product…
This is one of the worst experiences ever. Let's Start :
a) Product : Used to be a great deployment that was destroyed completelly after their effort to increase security due to security incidents they faced a couple months ago. Unfortunatelly v20 has the worst UI you can find in a pbx.
b) Sales. Complete absense of partner support and programs for growth. ONLY money to come in.
c) Support. ONLY if you have your question answered by another partner. The support personel doesn't even understand what we are asking them.

3CX Worst Technical Support!!!
I'm not sure why the support engineers have such a rude attitude. Instead of assisting their customers, they tend to push back and immediately say something is not supported without fully understanding the question. It's as if we have to explain things to them like they're non-technical. This is extremely frustrating and unacceptable.

This used to be a good product, feature removal
This used to be a good product but more recent changes have in my opinion made it more unreliable.
We purchased a Standard license in 2022 but in 3CX's pricing structure changes we lost the ability to record calls.
They would not speak to us or give us a discount on their equivalent product, or anything to recognise that we had actually paid them.
To add call recording there's now an annual charge, even though we host it ourselves.
The user interface is quite clunky and difficult to find what you're looking for, it feels a bit part-baked.
We're currently moving to a different solution.

Buggy App + Poor Support
App is very buggy - no matter where I am (office, home, overseas), it keeps dropping out on calls, going blank for up to 10 seconds, where you cant hear the person talking to you, and they cant hear you.
Customer support is terrible. They wont deal with you directly and keep pushing you back to their reseller.
Strongly recommend looking at alternatives, I don't have any option but to move to Aircall now.

Pretty good product but if you want to add a DECT or table phone - or a AVM FritzBox Router it is very difficult to install and there are not many supported devices.
