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!

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.

Hello. Thank you for your feedback and for being a long-time user of 3CX. We understand that the transition from V18 to V20 has presented challenges, particularly regarding the system owner requirement. We’ve communicated this requirement through emails and blog updates many times in the past months to support a smoother transition.

We’re sorry to hear that this impacted your experience, and while we regret seeing you move on, we wish you all the best with your new software.

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.

Hello. Thank you for your feedback. We understand that adapting to updates like V20 can be challenging, and we want to assure you that each version upgrade is designed with enhanced features and advanced security in mind, which can sometimes mean changes to the interface. As with any tech company, we strive to improve constantly and can’t always keep older versions active.

For support, our procedures are outlined on our website https://www.3cx.com/ordering/. If your needs fall outside of supported areas, our global partner network, as you mentioned, is a valuable resource for additional assistance.

As for the sales part, we offer regular sales webinars, training, and other resources to support growth, and we encourage you to check our website or reach out by filling out a contact form on our website to make use of these opportunities.

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.

Hi Dan. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We understand that pricing changes can be frustrating, and like any company, when more advanced features are added, the cost can increase to reflect those improvements. We're sorry to hear your concerns about the user interface, as we always strive to make it as user-friendly as possible.

We wish you all the best with your new 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.

Hello Mark. Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear about your experience.

While our customer support can assist with general licensing issues, as a channel-based company, technical issues are typically handled through our global partner network. Please kindly note that the app's performance can also be affected by poor internet connectivity.

We appreciate your time with 3CX and wish you all the best with Aircall.

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.

Hello Björn,

Thank you for the review. We provide installation guides for supported DECT phones here: https://www.3cx.com/sip-phones/. While there aren't many options, all supported companies work closely with us to ensure fast firmware updates and compatibility with our latest releases, making them the most stable and easiest to support.

We do have some Gigaset DECT phones, but note that some are EOL and no longer receive firmware updates, and we don't test new firmware for third-party supported devices. We recommend sticking with supported options.

If you need further assistance, our global network of 3CX partners can provide hands-on support. Find a local partner here: https://www.3cx.com/ordering/find-reseller/.
